@Cirrus I know he's just a side character, but Dangermouse is my baby too. I thought the cat picture was sort of funny, I don't really mean that I'm going to kill Bozo, I swears! :P


@Dynamo Frokane Hm dunno. Where is he?


He's in front of the arcade, but is Nick going to react to iruka gently bumping into him and then Kyle smashing into him?
"Hm," she mused before turning away to retrieve something, she didn't look mad...but she was silent...that was usually never a good thing. “Would you put your number in here, please?” she asked with a level tone, placing her hands on Kyle’s shoulder so she could gently spin him around to face the wall.

"No peeking," Ok, good sign, if she was really mad at him, she would have kicked him out to do this. A drenched shirt unceremoniously landed at his feet and his face lit up redder than Rudolph's nose, "Jesus Mary Joseph above..." Kyle immediately turned his attention to her phone punching in his digits, both his personal and work numbers went in.

“So, if you were running late, why didn’t you text me? It would have been nice. I sort of thought you were standing me up,” he felt his heart shrivel up a little, "she thought I stood her up? Shit..." A small crystal pendant and chain fell at his feet next to the shirt with a clatter. Now he was feeling like a real ass...especially after what Nori told him about that one guy, the last thing he wanted to do was give her that impression of him. He felt a tap on his shoulder, "You can look now."

Turning to face her, he was greeted with an extremely adorable sight, she had made his flannel more form fitting, arranging it into a kind of strapless dress, "She looks really cute in that," he could feel his face flushing, but she looked like she was still expectantly waiting for an answer from him.

"About that... He scratched at his head, embarrassment welling up again, "So remember how I nearly flattened you like a pancake at the cafe earlier? Seems I have a habit of doing that, on my way here in my panic I ran into some guy, collided head on and fell flat on my butt. I had my cell in my hand at the time and I think I dropped it when I ran into the guy," thinking back he still felt pretty badly about just abandoning that guy, at least someone was there at the time so he wasn't alone. "By the time I got here and got settled in line, it was gone. At that point I was hoping to just wait outside and hoped to catch you, but I got a lucky break and someone helped me in." He'd have to thank Sabine for that again, she was extremely helpful, "Moral of the story, I'll make sure to text you before leaving my house in a panic, not after."

He wasn't sure if she'd believe him or not, but he did want to get one thing squared away, "To stand you up though...I'd have to be some kind of stupid or some kind of cruel to do that, especially after what you told me earlier." He stepped a little closer to her, he wasn't totally sure if this was gonna be too forward, but fuck it, this didn't feel like a traditional boy meets girl to begin with. Reaching for her hands, he gently took them in his, staring into those golden amber gems in her eyes, "I feel like you've been honest with me so far and I hope you feel the same about me in that regard, but if I wasn't interested in you I'd tell you from the start and if it hasn't become apparently obvious yet, I'm pretty interested in you."

He laid his feelings out and even though his heart was pounding and his face was flushed, he felt happy to have said it. Now his only hope was that she'd reciprocate those feelings, "I know I can be a bit of a block head, but if you're willing to put up with my stupidity and my absence tonight, I'd like to make up for it. I still owe you a something-anything after all."

@Narcotic Dollie
"WET T-SHIRT CONTEST!!!" Kyle turned his face towards the commotion, only to find the recipient of this contest to be..."Nori." His eyes widened as he saw the girl he liked get completely soaked in some beverage and from the look on her face, to her great displeasure. Kyle felt a sudden rush of emotions struggling between unbridled rage and concern for Nori's well-being. Nori's well-being was his number one priority, his unbridled rage being kept in check by the bouncers already escorting the asshole who threw the drin- OW!. A sharp pain shot into his ribs as Sabine jabbed her elbow into him.

split with my friend here, so if...well, I'm planning in getting lost here once we go, so...wanna come with?"

Kyle turned to see her talking with another guy..wait when did he get here? Sabine then lifted herself up and started talking in his ear "Hey, get her! If it's the DJ you were talking about, you've got the VIP bracelet! Nothing's stopping you now!" With that she shoved him away towards the stage, and as he turned to face her she was walking off with the guy by his wrist. Damn, chemistry got her fast he guessed... Didn't matter, he needed to get to Nori, running over to the back stage he ran into a bouncer guarding the door.

"Whatchu want?" He eyed Kyle up and down

"I'm here to get backstage, I've got this VIP bracelet." He brought his wrist up showing it to him.

"Can't let you back there right now, not with what just happened onstage."

"Come on man, Nori's expecting me, she might of told you a Kyle Parker was coming?"

"Nori's expecting you? Hm... come to think of it Nori did mention a Kyle was coming...and you do got the VIP pass...alright go on back."

"Thanks man," Giving the bouncer a fist bump he was let backstage where he was immediately greeted with Nori's presence. She was toweling off with the shirt that guy had given her, might of been a friend of her's or at the very leas a coworker. Nevertheless...

"Nori!" Kyle jogged over to her concern written across his features, "Are you alright? Shit, you're clothes are soaked through...here." Kyle started unbuttoning his flannel shirt, pulling it off he moved his hand forward offering it to her. "Might be a little big, but at least its warm and dry. Physically she looked fine, just a little wet and reeking of some very strong vodka, "Fucker.... She didn't look upset with him either...more just upset in general, still he was sure she was going to have questions, rather than wait for her to ask, he owed her an explanation.

"Nori...I'm sorry I'm late, after our time at the arcade I ended up heading back to my place to grab a quick power nap, I ended up...oversleeping," here he blushed a little, he felt particularly embarrassed about oversleeping for any occasion, it was a personal pet peeve of his, "but there's no excuse for that, I'm late...really late and I'm sorry if I kept you waiting, but I wanted to at least keep my promise to you, that I'd definitely see you tonight." He smiled softly at her, he meant what he said, he did want to see her tonight, after how well they had gotten along earlier and the feelings that emerged, how could he not?

@Verdaux @Daxam @Narcotic Dollie
Oh, sorry for being a bit away, but I'm waiting for Dynamo's reply before posting again.

BTW, merry Christmas to you all!


I uh...kind of had Kyle run into him, he might need some help XD
"Um...I don't drink, at least, not anymore," she replied with an impish smile. "I mean, I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but it's just a personal thing I have with sobriety...and stuff."

Sure he intended that to be an alcoholic beverage option, but he was fine with getting her something non-alcoholic. Still he wondered if maybe he offended her? No, with an adorable smile like that he doubted it.

"Tell you what, though. I'll cross off the time-telling favor as soon as you hand me your contact info, alright? I might need your help outside the club limits sooner or later, since my work involves heavy lifting on occasion.

That, and if it's a certain somebody in the club, I don't want to be the reason why you're inside later than sooner. I think it'll be safer once people have a chance to unwind inside."


He could definitely take that offer from her, but what really caught his attention was the 'certain somebody' bit. He felt his face heating up thinking of Nori as a certain somebody, a somebody special or whatever. He couldn't help but scratch his head sheepishly before he felt her take his wrist and pull him towards the front of the line, the line again jeering at the couple making their way ahead of everybody. He almost wanted to give the bird to the one guy who was in front of him in the line, but he thought better. Just before they reached the bouncer she stopped and started swiping through her phone.

"I'll have that number, and I'll slash one off, alright?"

He nodded and took the phone from her, entering his contact info. He entered his personal cell phone number, but he also took the time to put in his work number as well. "I gave you my cell number, but you might not be able to reach it for a few days, I actually lost it before coming to the club, I got into a bit of an accident on the way here" he briefly recollected about how he had run into that guy earlier, his phone probably having dropped when Kyle hit the ground, "I tossed in my work number though, I work at the glasses shop, 'An Eye For Fashion' most weekdays until about 6:00 or 7:00, so you can always reach me there if you need me after work. If you don't mind though, I'm gonna insist sticking by you, I've got time until I meet my friend and if I'm going to be doing the odd job or two for you, I'd like to know my 'employer' a little better."

She agreed and handed her phone to the bouncer who swiped them into the club and granted them passage indoors. Finally being able to enter the club area, Kyle could immediately hear the sound of the base in the coat check area, "Nori must be on right now." He handed off his jacket to the coat check girl, opting to store his glasses safely inside one of his bigger jacket pockets before handing it off to her. The two of them then entered the club floor, the sound of the music pounding against Kyles ears, the base a deafening thump, the music was loud now, but he'd eventually get used to it. Looking up towards the stage area, he saw her there, Nori and she looked... she looked... "Holy crap I'm gonna have a nosebleed... Even from across the room Kyle could see the little clothing Nori was wearing, her midriff exposed to the elements, he could only wonder what she was wearing for pants... "Focus Parker!"

Kyle turned to face towards Sabine, "It's my first time here," he raised his own volume to try and outmatch the noise in the club, "I don't suppose you know any good spots here?" He figured if she had some fancy VIP passes she had to have been at the club before.

@Verdaux
Hey Verdaux I get theat you're doing internal dialogue, but I've been trying to understand what you're saying here and I'm just not getting it.

"...wait a second, you did say...
...ooooooooh, right. GDI Sabine, you left him an out! Stupid stupid stupid..."
"Sabine," She replied, her attention immediately drawn to her phone, apparently she was finished conversing, only meaning to answer his question. Considering the way his night was already going, he wasn't too terribly surprised, but she was quite a bit nicer than the other two unfriendly interactions. Sighing internally he began to turn around before turning her phone to his attention, a pair of qr codes side by side.

"I bet you're in a hurry to get in."(DESPERATELY! Go on...)" I know I'd be if a bunch of things were going on...so...how about it?"

Inspecting the screen closer he realized that these were...tickets into the club? Some kind of VIP acccess? He was extremely skeptical about these kinds of promotions, usually just assuming them to be spam and deleting them, but this looked...seriously legit.

"And besides...it's can't be validated unless I go with a male, for the sake of gender-balance and safety. I mean, if you don't want to hang out while we're in the club, that's totally your thing, too. Just treat this as an offer two strangers are taking advantage of. That, and...well, you'd owe me one. I don't mind having a few favors here and there."

So that was the stipulation then huh? I scratch your back, you scratch mine kind of deal, exactly how many favors were a few was to be...determined. However, he was up shit creek with a paddle, he was late, Nori was probably pissed (ok, maybe not but...), its not like any of these jerks ahead of him were going to be of any help, especially not from 'Dick' Grayson up ahead flashing some badge to get into the club. What other options did he have? Besides, if her offer was these tickets to do...what, odd jobs? It wasn't exactly like an unfair deal. He hadn't answered for a while and there was a look on her face like she was getting flustered, he made a decision.

"An offer for two strangers to take advantage of huh? Alright, I'll accompany you inside," he crinkled his brow slight about the safety bit though, "Since they're mentioning its for safety reasons, if its alright with you, I'll stick by your side for a while." He smiled at her, a genuine smile this time, "I'll be honest though, I am planning on meeting with someone so it won't be for the whole night, but I'd feel bad for just abandoning the person who just got me a ticket inside. Plus I'm sure you'll want my contact info if you're going to be asking me for favors." he grinned a little here, raising an eyebrow to match, "Also how about I buy you a drink and we can cross one of those favors off?"

@Verdaux
PSA:

So I just want to say, I'm slightly self-conscious about how frequently I post. Considering the holidays, I don't think it's an issue, but if people think I'm posting too much, please do say so.

Thank you
Let's see Amaya is in the park all by her lonesome.
