26th - Night out before the big mission

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 12:57 am

Rick and Marcus agreed to walk around a bit after wrapping things up, though they both thought it wise to remain close to campus as they strolled.

"I say it's about time for dinner. What do you think?"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:03 am

"When am I not hungry?" He asked cheerily. His hands shoved into the front pocket of his hoodie.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:10 am

"That settles that. Anything in particular that you have in mind?"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:27 am

"Not really. I'm never picky when it comes to food. Besides, call me paranoid, but just being out here makes me feel a little shaky."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:30 am

"Pft. Then why did you want to go do this?"

"Ah, well. We can find a pub or something easy enough. No reason to be out too long."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:37 am

"Feeling a little uneasy never has to stop anyone from doing anything. Besides, I'd enjoy pretending that the whole school wasn't on lockdown for what, a week or two?"

He brought his hand over to take Rick's, holding onto it. "Besides, we haven't spent a night out since the London Eye. I'm missing stuff like this."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:40 am

Rick smiled warmly at Marcus, locking his fingers around the other's hand. "Yeah, I agree. It's been too long since we've had a real date or anything." He learned in quickly, giving Marcus a brief peck on the cheek, as they continued walking.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:45 am

"On top of that, I just love being out at night. Not sure what it is. Maybe some hopeless romantic vibes." He turned his head quickly, catching the kiss on his cheek on the lips instead.

"Well, very much not hopeless anymore."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:49 am

"It's been a while since you've been hopeless, hon," Rick said, smirking. "I'm glad it's such a good evening. I bet it'll rain tomorrow, just in time to deal with the...you-know-whats," he groaned.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:52 am

"Oh. I know that very well. Can't be more happier either." He said sincerely.

"That's a nice way to make the assault even more epic than it appears to be." He sighed, wishing they had avoided any talk on this stuff. "Still in disbelief over Charlie. It's not like he was a weak fighter.."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:54 am

"That's what I've been wondering. How the hell did they kill an omega-level mutant?"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:00 am

"Your guess is as good as mine. He must of just been out of his element..or something."

Once the reached one of the open resturants he pointed over to it. "How's this place?"

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:03 am

"Looks great to me. Smells great, too." Rick walked through the door to the pub, and wound up getting a table against a wall.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:04 am

Marcus sat down across from Rick. "Yeah, you're right about this place. I'm glad when we have gone out to eat we've normally picked good spots."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:07 am

"Yeah, I havn't had anything horrible in London yet. Most of it's been good." A wait came by, asking for their drink orders. Rick only asked for a glass of ice water.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:12 am

"No complaining about that here." Marcus ordered some water as well before browsing more throughly through the menu.

A trio of attractive young men, dressed all in black and wearing heavy goggles came in and took a seat by the door.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:23 am

Rick was angled to see them easily enough, but he made no overt reaction, only really having seen one of the vampires thus far, and he didn't recognise their distinctive headgear.

"Hm. I may go with bangers and mash."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:28 am

"Sounds good."

Marcus nodded and by time the waiter came back, he simply pointed at something off the menu for his order.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:29 am

"Bangers and mash, please. Thanks."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:33 am

He clasped his hands behind his head and leaned back in his seat. He let out a sigh and glanced around.

"So, how are you feeling now? Yesterday was pretty rough."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:35 am

"I'm...better. Better than I was yesterday. Still not sunshine and kittens, though," he replied, flatly.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:39 am

He chuckled. "Not that I'd expect you to be." He looked off to the side of the booth. "Be right back." He said as he slid out of the seat then headed for the Pub's restroom.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:42 am

"Okay." Rick sat and waited for Marcus to return, sipping his water now and then. He did see the three guys near the door, but figured they were getting a bite to eat before heading off to a concert or something. Still...what was it about the goggles that was a bit unsettling?

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:48 am

Marcus walked back out, heading for the table where Rick was. He spotted the three males by the door, not really having an reaction. He sat across from Rick. He gave a shifty glance off to the side, trying to indicate something was odd about them.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:49 am

"Yeah. I know." That was all Rick said to Marcus concerning the matter. Soon enough, their food was set on the table, piping hot. "Looks great, thanks!"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:51 am

"Thanks! Man. This does look really good." Marcus' attention shifting back to his hunger. He unwrapped his silverware from the napkin and started to dig in.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 2:55 am

Rick did the same, getting a good first bite of sausage, potato, and gravy. "Yum." He continued to eat his meal, mostly in silence. He looked up again, briefly, at the three near the door. They had handsome features, without a doubt. But something about them was bugging him. Something he nearly had his finger on.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:02 am

The group had the 'standard vamp gear' thing going on so he pretty much had an idea. He just wanted a nice date too. He'd get to see plenty of those bastards tomorrow. He smiled and attempted to steer his attention back to their time together.

"So, are you really gonna try and be apart of Will's band? Nice. If you guys get big then I'll be dating a musician. Right on."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:06 am

"Tch. Yeah. I'm sure I'll be tearing up some chords and shit." He chuckled. "But hey, maybe we could get good enough to do some of those local gigs in Mutant Town. Who knows, right?"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:07 am

"I'm cool with that. Just don't get any hot male groupies after you. I don't like sharing."

by **Narrator** » Sun May 24, 2009 11:42 pm

The vampires seemed content to watch and wait for the moment, and just sat and ate their food.

by **Rick Ferguson** » Mon May 25, 2009 12:45 am

"I wouldn't worry about that too much, if I were you." He smirked and continued eating.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Mon May 25, 2009 12:58 am

"Of course. I'm just putting that out there." He was clearing through his plate rather quickly. He leaned back and slipped his hands back into the front pocket of his sweatshirt. His fingers twirled around the panic button inside. After a moment, he pressed it. He slumped back into his chair, looking rather content.

"We may have to come to this place more."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:00 am

"Yeah. I think I like pub food. Probably not the best thing for me, but it can't hurt now and then."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:06 am

"Not when it's that good. Besides, some of the stuff in the cafeteria isn't all that better."

by **Rick Ferguson** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:13 am

"Heh. True." He continued eating, looking around here and there. He noticed the pale young men and their goggles, and that's when he remembered what Jubilee had said earlier in the day.

He nearly dropped his fork, but realized it was best to not draw attention. He merely smiled pleasantly at Marcus, saying, "We have company."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:18 am

"I knew this." He said, slipping a hand back out of his pocket to go ahead and finish up the rest of his food.

"So, walk around some more and maybe find a quiet spot? Have a hot public make out sessoin?"

by **Rick Ferguson** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:20 am

Rick raised a single eyebrow. "I think a more public place would be better." He sure as hell didn't want to be caught alone with those three.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Mon May 25, 2009 1:23 am

"Such a voyeur. You amaze me sometimes." He pulled out his wallet. "So, we sit for awhile and chat or pay and go get some sleep?"
