Sept. 7th: Paging Ryan

"Better? Truly?" She looks a bit surprised. "Now I feel as if I may disappoint you. I can not say I know steps to such dancing. I was normally to zee sides when everyone would do zere sing at zose parties."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:13 am

Ryan smiled. "Not many people do. Just follow my lead and you'll be all right."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:16 am

"Very well. No bets zis time?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:34 am

"Welllllll, I do bet that I can outdo the last date," he said with a smirk, "But no, no stakes. Just a good time."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:43 am

Veronica smiles and takes a seat beside him. "Sounds like a plan. Is zere a specific vest color you will be wearing? Or should I just go wis somesing black?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:45 am

"I can always match what you get," he reasoned. "So just get something you like."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:51 am

"Alright. Erm...which store would be best? I am afraid I do not know zee area very well."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:56 am

Ryan grinned. "Just relax, I'm not going to send you in blind. Nothing we need to worry about today, right." He lounged back on the couch, slipping his hand behind her back.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:15 am

"You are right, I apologize. I suppose I am used to having a plan before hand." Veronica says, chuckling a bit while relaxing back. "So how are your classes going? Zee ones you instruct? I imagine after a week you are getting back into drill?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:25 am

"Oh, a lot of the usual," he admitted. "Attitude from some of the students, nervousness from others, with a side dish of students that have a crush on their teacher. Nothing I can't work with, I suppose."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:29 am

"Sounds about right." She says with a smile. "I ate breakfast wis a few off zem earlier in zee week. Hrm...Kay, Murphy, Alex, Brigid...zey all seemed raser sweet. Lively."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:00 pm

"Heh, lively. That's... putting it lightly, yeah. But yeah, those are some of them. Some of the better ones, really."

"Half of my kids seem to be expecting to be X-Men, though, so... have to figure out what I want to do with that."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:02 pm

"Watch zem develop and let zem make zere own decisions. If being in zee X-men is truly for zem, zee pieces will fall into place."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:22 pm

"Well, I have to give them something to help them with it. My teachers in high school always told us that that was for when we were graduated, and I know for a fact that doesn't work, because it sure never stopped us, just made sure we were rushing into things without knowing what we were doing."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:33 pm

"Oh I was not saying to not help zem at all. Zat would just be cruel."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 7:59 am

"Well, I'm pretty sure that some of their parents won't be happy with me. But... I know how the situation turns out. Either I help them or they'll get themselves hurt."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 12:53 am

"If zere parents push zem away from zere dreams, zen it will only make sings worse." She nods.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:55 am

"Heh... They have no idea what they're dreaming if that's their dream. I'm hoping that if I can give some of them a taste of it, they'll swear off of it forever."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 10:23 am

"Does eet truly get to you so much?" She asks, tilting her head while studying him.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:03 am

"Me? No. No more than any other job, at least. But... it's not the sort of thing you can really do if you have any dreams of other things. Whatever happens, this always has to come first, because the world is always needing saving. It's why superheroes vanish when they want to actually have a real life. You can't be much of a lawyer or a doctor or a teacher when you might have to run off at a moment's notice and risk your life at something... and that says nothing for family life."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:05 am

Veronica nods in understanding. Okay, well not actual understanding considering she knows nothing what it's like, but she seems to understand the general parts of it. "Eet is a sacrifice, non?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:08 am

"It is. I know we didn't have any clue about it when I was that age, and I'm positive they don't either. And if they did, they probably wouldn't be so set on it."

"But they're also kids and won't listen to me if I tell them. So I've got to show them without getting them hurt somehow."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:15 am

She smiles reassuringly at him. "Zere is no doubt in my mind you will be able to figure somesing out."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:16 am

He smirked. "I suppose I really can't go hiring some D-list villians to come rob banks and stuff here so they have some low-impact things to deal with."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:21 am

She laughs. "Non, zat would be raser much, I sink. But what about scenarios in zee Danger Room? I'm sure setting such a scenario up like zat would be possible. Alsough, I suppose zat would take zee seriousness out off zee situation, non?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:25 am

"Little bit, yeah. A Danger Room run fits nicely into the day, and you can't take it too seriously when you know that it can't actually kill you in the end. It's the picture of non-disruptive."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:33 am

"Hm. Well, I'm sure zere is somesing zat can be done." She smiles at him. "If you need help coming up wis somesing, I am at your disposal."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 2:44 pm

Ryan grinned. "Thanks. And I promise not to cast you as the poor innocent girl who they have to rescue," he joked.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 2:49 pm

She smirks. "I appreciate zat. Having to play zat part is not on my list off sings I plan on happening." Veronica sits up a bit and looks the invitation over in her hands a bit more in detail. "Might as well get zis over wis. Do you have some paper? I left my journal in my room."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 3:08 pm

"Huh? Oh, right, just a second," he said, getting up and walking over to his desk to get a notebook.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 3:33 pm

"I do not honestly expect anysing from zis, but better to be safe zen sorry, non?" She smiles.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:04 pm

"Exactly," Ryan said, walking over with the notebook. "If you need me to do anything, just say so."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:08 pm

After checking her watch, Veronica takes the notebook and opens it, writing the date and time. "I do not sink zere really is anysing, mais, if I come out off zis a bit confused, just be patient wis me please. I can never pinpoint which memories I lose."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:12 pm

Ryan frowned. "I... if you don't want to do this, don't," he said, frowning in concern.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:17 pm

She gives him a reassuring smile. "As I said before, better to be safe zen sorry. I haf no worries, I promise you."

With that, she keeps the notebook on her lap and pen in her right hand. Holding the invitation in her left, she concentrates on the paper closely, letting her mind slip into the locked memories of the object. Her eyes begin to glow a dim purple, then intensify as she searches around.

by **Narrator** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 6:33 pm

For the most part the impressions she is getting are fairly mundane and boring. A faint chemical smell as it's being printed and stacked with the others, someone who looks like a typical London cab-driver picking them up, driving them to an extremely fancy looking building and delivering them to yet another servant who places them on a table after inspecting them to check the quality. They sit there for a while though eventually a woman wearing a flowing gown walks over to pick up one of the cards and inspect them herself. She seems to carry herself with a certain posture that gives her a certain air of dignity. As she flips over the card in her hands a man in his late twenties or early thirties walks in, dressed much less classy though still in a white shirt with a slightly opened tie. He has short brown hair in bit of a side-swept hairstyle.

"Happy with your useless paper slips? We really should have just send those electronically." the man asks.

"At least try to have some, class. We don't invite people per email like some kind of desperate venue spamming their clientele."

"Get with the times. Are they ready to be sent out at least?"

"Indeed they are." the woman answers, placing the card back with the others. "And praise be to the powers that be that we still have enough people who remember how to things properly." she shakes her head as she walks across the room, the young man following her.

From there on not much more happens beyond the invitations being eventually picked up by a courier.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 3:53 am

Veronica writes the descriptions down of the two who spoke to each other. Once the memories fade, her eyes dim to their normal grey again and she chuckles. "Nosing special at all. Zese two," She says motioning to the descriptions. "seem to be zee important ones. Both formal, mais zee woman is more so. Overall, I see nosing zat causes for worry." She hands him back the notebook with the descriptions inside. "One less sing to be concerned about, non?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 4:29 am

Ryan looked the descriptions over. "Thank you," he said. "It is a relief," he admitted, then looked her over. "Are you all right?" He asked, remembering the park.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 5:22 am

"Off course." She doesn't look the least bit shaken or confused. "I will figure out what was lost when I read my journal. If eet is not a short term memory, I assume it was a silly memory. No harm done." Veronica says with a reassuring smile.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:32 am

Ryan looked a little uneasy, but nodded. "All right," he said, erring on the side of 'she's a big girl and can take care of herself.' "Again, thanks. If you hadn't looked I'm sure I could have come up with a hundred things to worry about."
