Wastelander and Watermancer (vapor, closed)

[halen2020]

Rose looked down at herself, and felt ridiculous. She had traded in her usual clothing for something rather less battle ready, a black sleeveless dress that went down to her knees. Her combats boots, wrapped in chains and steel toed, were gone, replaced by some kind of black slipper thing. She glanced into a window, and glared at herself. She even had on freaking makeup. Her! Wearing makeup! Man, if the people at home ever found out about this...

Why was one of the most violent girls from her world dressed up like this? Well... The plain answer was she had a date. A guy had somehow seen past her weapons, and her combat ability, and reached out to the girl. Vapor, I hope you are ready for me...

The only consession she had made to her violent tendencies was the cut the dress open in the back, a small hole that enabled her to weat her hammer clip, and bring that with. Scowling, she dialed her computer, and stepped into Twilight Town...

[Vapor]

Vapor strolled through Sunset Terrace, making his way to the small outdoor café located there; he wasn't in any kind of hurry, as he knew he had time to spare.

His jacket was flapping in the slight breeze as he reached his destination. He took a quick glance round to see if she had turned up, which she hadn't. He leant against a nearby wall, put his hands behind his head, and looked toward his feet.

"Was this really such a good idea?" He thought, but before he overthought things, he heard the sound of a dark corridor opening. He looked up to his left and saw Rose all dressed up in a black dress; he was slightly surprised at the amount of effort she had put into looking nice for their date. He stood up straight and waved her over. "Hey, Rose."

[halen2020]

There he was. Guys had it so frickin' easy. Looking nice for them required only a clean version of whatever they were wearing. But if she had tried that... She walked over to him, looking him up and down. It really did seem like all he had down was clean his clothes. But he still looked good. "So, I'm guessing that's the restraunt," she asked, waving off at a small area with a couple of tables near a mirrorlike waterfall. She noticed he had his weapons. Well, at least she wasn't the only paranoid person around...

[Vapor]

"Yeah." Vapor replied, whilst looking over at the cafe. He turned back to Rose and gave her a quick look over, and noticed she had brought her hammer, but he didn't mind that. "You look beautiful." He said, with a smile. "Shall we go sit down?"

[halen2020]

Beautiful? That was a compliment never ascribed to her before. Terrifying, vicious, a solid fighter, these were the tags she was used to. Guess I owe that tailor...

She followed him over to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Beneath her, her shadow twitched oddly for a second. Halen was hiding in it, and his job was to give her a direct line into Vapor's emotions, so she could see how she was doing. He sensed no fear, no anger, no sadness, only happiness directed at his mistress.

She smiled, relaxing some. The kid had absolutely zero ulterior motive. "You look pretty good yourself, Vapor. So, ever eaten here before?"

[Vapor]

Vapor followed Rose over to their table, pulled out a chair and sat down. "Thanks, and no." He answered. If fact, this happened to be his first time in Twilight Town, but was already beginning to like it there. It was nice and peaceful, and there weren't too many people around, which he liked. He leant back and relaxed in his chair, and looked over at Rose. "Have you?"

[halen2020]

"No, I spend most of my time on the hill. It's so peaceful there, and Halen likes it a lot. His like just kinda filters into me, I guess."

She detached her hammer, as it was jabbing into her back. she had to figure out a better way to carry the thing...

"So... Uh..." She didn't have a clue what to talk to him about, as most of her stories ended in grisly death. "Tell me about your home."

[Vapor]

"My home.." He thought back to his life on his home planet, which he hadn't thought about for quite some time now. "Well, it was a nice place to live, with my parents and friends.. But now I'm in Radiant Garden, and you know what it's like there."

He leant forward and picked up his menu, before leaning back again. He gave the menu a quick look over, and looked back at Rose. "Think we should order?"

[halen2020]

She nodded, picking up her own menu. There were some things she had never heard of before, and she saw an impressive looking picture. "You ever had a 'sub'?" she asked her date, glancing over the top of her own menu.

[Vapor]

He moved his menu away from his face, and looked over at Rose before answering her question. "No, I haven't." Vapor said, "It's a sandwich, isn't it?"

[halen2020]

"According to the picture. And a damn big one. Wanna split it?" It wasn't often that Rose actually shared food, as she had to normally fight for what she got. Underneath her, Halen was getting sleepy. It seemed his mistress had a handle on things, so he decided it was nap time.

[Vapor]

He quickly scanned through the menu and found the picture of the sub that Rose mentioned, "Sure, that sounds like a good idea." Vapor answered, as he leant forward and placed his menu on the table. He decided it would be best to make sure Rose was ready before calling a waiter over to take their order,"So, are you ready to order?"

[halen2020]

"Yeah, I am." She snapped her fingers in the air, and a waitress walked over.

"Hi, what'll it be?"

"One of these subs. And a side of fries."

"Okay, and for you sir?"

[Vapor]

He watched a waitress walk over to them, when Rose clicked her fingers. She took Rose's order and then turned to Vapor "And for you, sir?" She asked him, politely.

"I'll just have a glass of water, please." He said, and turned to face Rose. He then said, with a smile, "I guess I'll pay for it." And pulled a small pouch of munny out of his pocket.

[halen2020]

Rose smiled. He was willing to pay, huh? Not many guys on her world were so nice. "Well, ain't you just so sweet?" she said with a partially seductive smile. Even if this didn't work out, he had just earned a little something. The waitress walked away, promising to return with food soon.
