I7DT: Watching the news

by **Sean Hall** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:41 pm

Sean was watching the news of the incident when the camera switched to Guy riding a dragon through the city chasing an APC.

"What. The. Bloody. Hell?" Sean asked.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:12 pm

"Yep, we have a dragon," John chuckled as he took a the next stool.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:17 pm

"I know, but this is just...it just looks... so completely absurd," Sean said before ordering a beer.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:21 pm

"Giant lizard," he replied with a smirk before he too ordered a beer.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:24 pm

"That is much less absurd than a car chase involving involving a dragon and a military apc taking place in downtown London," Sean said.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:30 pm

"You do have a point," he chuckled.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:32 pm

"That and one of the people on the back of the dragon is something of ne'er do well," Sean said, "And he's going to be bloody insufferable after this little incident."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:34 pm

"Oh?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:37 pm

"I imagine I will be hearing stories about riding dragons, saving princesses, and fighting bad guys for months," Sean said, "And something about how he bloody one upped me by doing it...but what he doesn't know is about how I helped a team kick Dr. Doom into another dimension."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:40 pm

"Did you now?" he asked with raised brow, having been there.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:43 pm

"You were there you should know. One of your teammates gave me a rather unique nickname," Sean smiled.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:49 pm

He laughed.

"Awfully open for a man who wore a mask."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:50 pm

"Different times, different choices," Sean said, "But how would you know I'm not wearing a mask right now?"

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:59 pm

"Indeed. I wouldn't."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:01 pm

"Then we'll just take it on good faith that I am who I say I am, mate."

"That and the overt displays of magical power," Sean joked.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:05 pm

He was about to reply when... "Your friend just pulled someone out of the APC..."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:11 pm

"Unless the princess went through a gender switch recently. I'd think the tabloids would have made quite the racket about that by now, so I'm assuming that is one of the bad guys," Sean said watching the scene unfold, "Doesn't look like getting pulled out of the APC did much other than slow him down."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:16 pm

"A brave attempt, I'll give him that."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:22 pm

"I'd say reckless, but the two generally go together," Sean said before taking sip from his beer. When Guy started breaking into the car Sean chuckled softly.

"Now there's the Gaius I know."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:24 pm

"Driving after the bad guy?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:27 pm

"Stealing a car," Sean said then smirked, "It looks like he took some of the driving classes our school offered."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:32 pm

"Must be some driving instructor," he commented as Guy tried the sideswipe.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:36 pm

"They created...well rounded students at our school," Sean said, "Able to avoid kidnapping and perform long division."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:38 pm

"James Bond School for Boys?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:48 pm

"Warfield Academy," Sean said, "A school for people with lots of money and the right connections. Teach the kids of diplomats or the CEO's of international businesses how to avoid being kidnapped and to be able to run their parents' organizations when they're gone."

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:54 pm

That produced a sad sigh, as the description hit pretty close to home.

"I could have used that..."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:59 pm

Sean cocked an eyebrow at that statement, but let it slide as it wasn't polite to pry.

"Wonder if they'll schedule a re-match for the final game," Sean said watching the news.

by **John Hino** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 9:03 pm

"This is England. Of course they will," he smirked, glad Sean let his outburst slide.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 9:13 pm

"You never know, traces of what happened will be there for a long time," Sean said, "At the very least they'll probably have the rematch in another city."

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:17 pm

"So... magic huh? What's that like?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:22 pm

"I'm afraid you'll need to be a little bit more specific, friend," Sean said.

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:50 pm

"Right," he chuckled softly, "I mean compared to mutant powers I guess. Did you learn or is it just... there?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:55 pm

"Hard to make a comparison when I'm not a mutant," Sean said, "Magic has always been there as far back as I can remember."

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:03 pm

"You aren't a mutant?" he asked, pausing, "Then why are... Eh, I have classes with an android. I see no problem."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:07 pm

"You'd almost think mutants had never met somebody without the X-Gene," Sean said.

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:10 pm

"No no, I was just surprised is all... considering where we are."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:15 pm

"Oh, I understand," Sean said, "I was just pulling your leg a bit.

Most people would say I hardly count as a normal run of the mill human anyways."

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:22 pm

"Normalcy is overrated anyway."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:28 pm

"Depends on who you ask," Sean said, "Some of the mutants here would pay most anything to be normal, others revel in their uniqueness, and then there are some who just don't care."

by **John Hino** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:49 pm

"I used to be the first. Accepting being different saved me from a lot of hurt."
