I7: Library Research

by **Wanda Johansen** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 12:55 pm

Wanda fussed with a computer in the library, adjusting the screen so she could get a good look at it. After the adjustment, she started searching, starting with the term "martial arts for tall people".

"Ain't that just 'karate chop their skull'?" Rima asks, looking over Wanda's shoulder. Which is probably at least somewhat impressive considering Wanda's height even when seated if it wasn't for the fact that the weird looking woman doing the talking is missing the lower half of her body and instead is balancing herself relatively high on a massive tail.

Wanda looked around and seemed briefly startled, but recovered quickly. "If you know how to karate chop. From what I've been reading so far, it looks like there's leverage to consider among other things."

"Looking to join the teams then?" she asks, slithering onto the chair next to Wanda. Well, more like on top of and around the chair.

"Strongly considering it, but I think I should know how to defend myself anyway." She held out a hand, "I'm Wanda."

by **Rima Faheed** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:23 pm

"You certainly look like you'd be able to already." she says, taking Wanda's hand. "Rima."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:44 pm

Wanda shook her hand briefly. "Looks can be deceiving. I'm sure I could hold my own, but not against anyone who was seriously trained."

by **Rima Faheed** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 3:54 pm

"Pff! I bet you'd do fine. Bunch of people here jumped right into things too."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:04 pm

"If it came to it I would, but might as well start preparing just in case."

by **Rima Faheed** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:11 pm

"Just in case probably means next week anyway." she chuckles. "But hey, I'm glad others risk their butt to save mine. And everyone elses'."

"It's not for everyone, but if someone doesn't do it then the bad guys win, right?"

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:04 am

"I'm sure there'll always be someone. Has been so far."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:27 am

Wanda seemed to be trying to figure out how to respond to that, then she said, "I take it you're not much of the hero type."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:52 am

"Honestly? Not gonna risk my skin. I mean I'll stand up for my friends if I have to, but humans? Whatever. They're kinda asking for it."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:31 am

Wanda stopped and blinked, "How are they asking for it?"

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 10:46 am

"Oh please. Back at home it was different but here? They almost didn't let me off the plane and I tried to look normal."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:13 pm

"I suppose, but I would go so far as to say they're asking for it," Wanda said with a frown. "They have their assholes, we have ours."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:18 pm

"They still wouldn't stand up for us, so I don't see why I should. You can't tell me you didn't hear your share of abuse about your size."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:30 pm

"I did," Wanda said, coloring slightly. "But I still think I did the right thing when the time came."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:35 pm

"Good for you then?" she asks, not having a clue what Wanda is talking about. She does sound like she actually means it though.

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:53 pm

Wanda sighed, "Sorry. Just struck a nerve, that's all."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:05 pm

"Don't fret it." she waves it off.

"And I know the humans can be fine with us. Hell, back home they celebrate it as a blessing. But in the end that's all you are to them, ya know?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:29 pm

"I could see that. Where are you from?"

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:36 pm

"Lebanon. Not as bad as you'd think, especially when you're a mutant, but I had to get out of there."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:32 pm

"There are worse places I could think of, but I can still understand wanting out. I finally got to that point myself."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:34 pm

"How comes? I'm guessing you're from Scandinavia somewhere?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:11 pm

"Sweden," Wanda said. "Mostly to save my parents the grief of being heckled."

by **Rima Faheed** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:19 pm

"Team Human scores again!" she mock-cheers.

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:10 am

"Not everyone was like that though," Wanda said.

by **Rima Faheed** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:33 am

"And I get some humans at my shows." she shrugs. "Doesn't really redeem the rest of 'em."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 10:11 pm

"Shows?" Wanda seemed curious.

by **Rima Faheed** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 6:45 am

"Oh I dance at Xzotic over in Mutant Town."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 10:23 am

"Oh," said Wanda, "that sounds... interesting."

by **Rima Faheed** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 10:39 am

"Riiight, interesting." she chuckles. "It's not everyone's cup of tea."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:18 pm

"Forgive me. I've just never met anyone in that line of work."

by **Rima Faheed** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:21 pm

"It's fun. And a place where people celebrate what makes us special. Plus, you know, naked people." she smirks.

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:23 pm

"I can definitely see the appeal," Wanda nodded.

by **Rima Faheed** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:27 pm

"Well I'm sure a giant amazon would be a hit." she grins, misinterpreting her on purpose.

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:41 pm

Wanda blushed, "I'm... I'm sure it would, but I know I'm not comfortable enough with myself for that."

by **Rima Faheed** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:50 pm

"Pff, non-sense! You look great. Literally!"
