OOC: this is continued from the Frankfurt thread, where Gina's been showing Thom aroudn the lighthouse. It's also in raw MSN chat format, and there's a bunch of totally irrelevent stuff, Like the fact that Kitty's going to go see the Prestige and I envy her. I'll edit it out... later. --- <Thom>*doesn't entirely know what he's supposed to do now* <Gina> So I think Ricky and Chess are out of the light.. Want to see it? <Thom>sure. <Gina> *grabs Thom's hand* Come on.. *starts up the stairs* <Thom>*follows* <Gina> You're not afraid of heights, are you? <Thom>No. <Gina> Good. So we got this as an HQ cheap, Apparently the coast guard actually gives money to people if they maintain a lighthouse for them.. <Thom>So you get paid to stay here? <Gina> Pretty much. Though we're basically breaking even because we had to furnish it.. <Thom>Well, at least you don't have to find crazy outside funding from somewhere. <Gina> It's really pretty great. <Thom>So... this is the light room? <Gina> *grins* Yeah.. <Thom>how did you get a couch up here? <Gina> Portal. <Thom>Oh. <Gina> Come outside.. It's fun, *steps out on the balcony* <Thom>*follows* Wow, this is a nice view. <Gina> I see why they call them the Great Lakes <Thom>mm-hmm./ <Gina> *holds Thom's hand* <Thom>*blushes slightly* so, um. <Gina> *blushes* Oh.. um,, yeah? <Thom>where, exactly, is Centreville? <Gina> Um. Canada.. Alberta or Manitoba. I can never remember <Thom>Oh. <Gina> *grins* It's landlocked. <Thom>Sucks to be Duckie, then. <Gina> Not really. She can open portals to basically anywhere <Thom>True... <Gina> *grins* <Thom>*sighs wistfully* maybe I should go get my old costume out of storage. <Gina> *smiles* Really? I'd like to see it.. <Thom>It's pretty boring.. <Gina> It doesn't matter.. Besides, we have two gay men who'd love to give you a new design <Thom>heh. <Gina> *squeezes Thom's hand* And your powers'll come back.. Someday.. <Thom>maybe. <Gina> Call it a hunch. *smiles* <Thom>Okay. <Gina> *looks like she's thinking something over* <Thom>What are you thinking about? <Gina> *bites her lip* *leans over and kisses Thom* <Thom>...oh/ <Gina> *blushes deeply* Yeah.. <Thom>*kisses Gina back lightly* I should *really* dig my costume out of storage. <Gina> *smiles* <Thom>so... <Gina> *blushes* Yeah? <Thom>Woudl you like to see my costume? <Gina> I'd love to.. <Thom>It might mean having to deal with Griffen... he'll probably be at my apartment. <Gina>Instead of trawling for chicks or criminals? <Thom>with any luck, he'll be trawling for Chicks, but he could very well be at the apartment with a chick. <Gina> *laughs* You know, you could just tell him that there's a STD out there that only affects metas.. <Thom>It would be funny to see his reaction. <Gina> And it's carried, without symptoms, by normal people.. *to Duckie* Hey, can we have another portal? <Duckie>To where? <Gina> Thom? Could you give Duckie an address? <Thom>um, 4214 3rd street, Frankfurt NH. <Duckie>Okay, cool. *opens a portal* <Gina> *grinning* I know where you li-ive.. *steps through the portal and pulls Thom with her* <Griff>*is snuggling with some chick on the couch, which is luckilly facing away from the portal* <Gina> *covers her mouth to keep from laughing* <Thom>*motions for Gina to follow him* <Gina> *follows* *once out of earshot* I would've never pegged him as a snuggler. <Thom>yeah. He usually snuggles to get the girls to think he's deep and shit. *pulls a box out of the top of his closet* <Gina> *sarcastically* How.. charming.. *makes a face* <Thom>Tell me about it... *opens the box* <Gina> *smiles* <Thom>um... do you want to see it here, or should we go back to the lighthouse? <Gina> *grins* You really don't want to be around Griffen, do you? The lighthouse is fine. <Thom>*closes the box, and carries it back toward where the portal was... is?* <Gina> *grabs Thom's hand and goes through the portal again* <Duckie>*closes the portal* <Gina>Thanks, Duckie. <Duckie>No problem. <Gina> So.. Thom.. I want to see that costume of yours <Thom>Um, yeah. Where can I change into it? <Gina> Bathroom.. Down the hall <Thom>Thanks. <Thom>*changes into his costume, and comes back down the hall* <Gina> Very sexy, Thomas. <Thom>*blushes* <Duckie>hey, why didn't you tell me you were a Spandex? <Gina> *rolls her eyes* My little sister calls anyone in the heroing business a 'Spandex'.. *to Duckie* Duckie, meet Sprint. New Hampshire's own speedster. <Duckie>*grins at Thom* hey. <Thom>uh, hey. <Chess> *walks by* Oh, honey.. How golden age can you get with that costume? <Thom>Erm... <Duckie>*laughs* He's not wearing his underpants over his pants, Chess. <Chess> Well, yeah. He's a speedster. Thankfully, that's something they've never done.. <Duckie>True... <Duckie>Unless you count Max Mercury. <Gina> It chafes. <Duckie>Or Johnny Quick... <Gina> Speaking of.. Chess.. Could you alter my costume so that I either get rid of the underwear over the tights or that they're replaced with a more.. shorts-like alternative? <Chess> Sure. <Chess> *walks around Thom, looking at the costume* This does show off your tush nicely, though.. <Thom>*blushes* um... <duckie>Hey, Chess, are you here alone? <Chess> No.. Do you need Ricky? <Duckie>I'll find him. <Gina> *grins at Thom* Chess gets bored, so he designs me costumes. I've got around 6 different designs.. <Thom>Do you wear them all? <Gina> I usually wear the first one. Most of them are completely impractical. There's another one that I wear that's more sporty. I swear.. He's designed me a Momentum ball gown.. <Thom>*laughs* <Gina> Well, it's very sleek. Ridiculously high slit too. *shakes her head* I like your costume. <Thom>It does the job. <Gina> Sometimes, the best costumes are the simplest.. <Gina> So.. Have you seen my costume? <Thom>I don't think so... <Gina> *grins* *dashes off to another room to change* *comes back* So? <Thom>Wow, that's a nice costume. <Gina> *blushes* Thanks. *takes off the headband/goggles* These are attached to each other.. Very few people know that.. <Thom>that would help keep yor goggles from messing up your hair. <Gina> *laughs* The wind does that job.. <Thom>that's the one downside of being a speedster... there's always wind. <Gina> Yeah.. And if there's ever a crisis, we're more likely to die.. But the rest is good <Thom>There hasn't been a crisis in a while, though. <Gina> Want to go out to the beach? <Thom>sure. <Gina> *grabs Thom's hand* It'll probably be a little cold, but I like running there.. <Thom>Okay. <Gina> *shows Thom the beach* The lake's cold even in the summer, so it's probably not worth it to wade.. <Thom>That makes sense/ <Gina> Mind if I run some laps? You can too, if you want.. <Thom>go ahead. <Gina> *smiles* *runs some* <Thom>*runs with her after the first couple laps* <Gina> What, did you think I was just going to go full tilt? <Thom>No, I was just thinking. <Gina> About what? <Thom>About how I lost my powers. <Gina> Oh.. *jumps over a piece of driftwood* <Thom>Well, if it was a high amount of negative emotional energy that made my powers go erratic and then fizzle out, would a high amount of positive emotional energy bring them back? <Gina> Quite possibly.. *holds Thom's hand and slowly ups the speed* <Thom>*is able to keep up, at least for the first bit* I'd forgotten how good this felt. <Gina> What, running? <Thom>yes. <Gina> *smiles* I wonder if people with other powers have this much fun just using them.. <Gina> Wait.. I know Dem does.. Little perv. <Thom>does Dem turn invisible? <Gina> Yep. <Thom>I wonder what fun you could have opening portals. <Gina> Well, Duckie and I have done some spying on Ricky and Chess.. *smirks* <Thom>So you're really not much better than Dem is. <Gina> We were concerned about the well-being of our best friends.. Dem.. Just really wanted to see a naked Robin. <Thom>She turned invisible to see Robin naked? <Gina> Apparently he wears the mask even in the shower.. <Thom>*laughs* Talk about secret identity. <Gina> He's like the opposite of Griffen. <Thom>Yeah, no kidding. <Gina> Want to rest for a bit? <Chess> *is so watching from the light with Ricky* <Thom>yeah... I think I need to catch my breath. <Duckie>*is so watching from the window of the control room* <Gina> *stops and flops down on a barrier dune* <Thom>*sits down beside Gina* That was fun. <Gina> Yeah, it was.. And now it's not cold out.. <Thom>well, excercise does tend to have that effect. <Gina> *grins* I like running at normal speed. I guess I'm like a car with turbo.. After the turbo kicks in, it's easy.. <Thom>but not before? <Gina> Well, it is, but it's work, you know.. exercise.. <Gina> When I train, it's usually at normal speed. <Thom>hunh. <Gina> Except for sparring. *grins* I do that at full tilt. *leans on Thom* I should've brought out water.. <Gina> You know what? *zips off and comes back with a couple bottles of water* <Thom>thanks. <Gina> You're welcome. *looks up at the stars* There's more stars here than in Irving Harbor.. Though.. this is only a little town here, and Irving Harbor's a pretty good sized city.. <Thom>streetlights always obscure the stars. <Gina> Yeah.. My sister's really into space. *chuckles* And boys. I hope she doesn't let the latter mess with her dream with the former.. <Thom>that would suck. <Gina> But she's grounded.. Oh, and she's never allowed to meet your roommate, I've decided. <Thom>I wouldn't want her to. <Gina> *smiles* *leans on Thom* <Thom>*puts an arm around Gina's shoulders* <Gina> *smiles* *kisses Thom on the cheek lightly* <Gina> *sighs* Thom.. I know we just met, but I like you a lot.. <Thom>Um. I.. I like you, too. You just. . . seem right.. if that makes any sense. <Gina> *smiles broadly* *kisses* <Thom>*kisses back* <Gina> *grins* Run with me? <Thom>Sure. *stands up* <Gina> *grins* *starts running* <Thom>*catches up* <Gina> *goes a little faster* <Thom>*matches the new speed* <Gina> *goes even faster* <Thom>*lags behind a bit, before catching up again* <Gina> *beams* *goes faster* <thom>*grins* *accelerates to a speed faster than Gina is going* <Gina> * smiles* *runs faster than Thom* <Chess> *to Ricky* Look at them.. They're competing.. <Thom>*goes faster than Gina* <Ricky>It's cute. <Gina> *realizes that they're running at speedster speed* *stops suddenly* <Thom>*runs back and stops* what? <Gina> Thom.. You've got your powers back.. <Thom>I... I do? <Gina> I was running fast enough for it to be the case, and you were running faster.. <Thom>oh. <Gina> You ok? <Thom>*grins* I can run again! <Gina> *beams* Race you to Macinaw City? <Thom>You're on. <Gina> Ready, set.. Go! *takes off* <Thom>*runs off after her* <Gina> *tries not to smile because she doesn't want bugs in her teeth* <Thom>*smirks* <Gina> *grins* *pulls ahead* <Thom>*accellerates* |
