Who: Wanda Maxiomff, Kate Bishop, + Anyone who wants to show up
What: Club HQ's grand opening
When: January 31st
Where: HQ (Across the road from house 14)
Summary: Kate and Wanda finally unveil their Nightclub.
Rating: PG to PG-13.


[After a lot of preparation, opening night for Luceti's newest club is finally here. The music is loud and insistent, the kind where you have to shout a bit to be heard above the noise. Flashing, moving lights above reveal the purple decor, mostly devoid of chairs, and plenty of room to dance. A well stocked bar should be able to provide liquid courage to anyone too nervous to shake there groove-thang sober, while a patio out back affords a space for anyone wanting to have more intimate (or just quieter) interactions. There's also a coat room, for anyone looking for a warmer spot for intimate interactions.

The doors open at seven, and will stay open until two am-- plenty of time to drink, dance, talk and generally have a good time. When the DJs aren't spinning, a house mix is put on, so there's never a quiet moment.]

Comments

Yes, I'm good like that.

[After he takes a couple of breaths and stops laughing, he sort of gestures as he talks, waving his hand as he explains]

Don't worry about it Wanda, not everyone can have my way with words and phrases. Actually, I can't think of any other than me. Well, also the me's in different universes and times I suppose would count as well, but they are essentially me, but with slight variations and such. I wonder if there is a Catpool? I mean, Dogpool exists, so it stands to reason a Catpool could exist. Heh... Wolverine kitty.

[That was a bit of a tangent, dude. You might want to get back on to topic]

Right. I have a tendency to ramble on a bit.

[Bit of an understatement]

[maximoff_girl]

Uhh... Yeah. Wow. ... I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I understood all that. And I can follow my brother's speech. [Well done, you! She blinks out of a bit of a deer-in-headlights look, into an apologetic smile.] You know Wolverine and Kitty, too, then?

[the_dead_pool2]

You certainly could say I have had a few encounters with them yes.

[The last one with Kitty involved giving her an uppercut so that Wolverine would fight him. The last one with Wolverine... well that involved a different fight at a different time]

Me and the little furry ball O fury... one of my many names for Wolverine, B-T-W, go way</> back. One of those, somehow always manage to stumble on one another sort of relationships.

[maximoff_girl]

Hah!! [Wanda burst out with a laugh, then immediately covers her mouth.] Oh my god, he can't like that!

[the_dead_pool2]

[He has a bit of a smirk]

Not particularly no, but then again, try to think of something he likes.

[Dude was such a grump]

[maximoff_girl]

... Cigars. ... Drinking. ... the word "Bub".

[the_dead_pool2]

[He gives her an appraising look]

Not bad, Wanda. Those are indeed the only things I think he likes. Oh, and pool.

[maximoff_girl]

... I've never seen him in the pool, but... I also try not to spend much time with him. ... He's a kind of... stabby.

[the_dead_pool2]

He generally likes the type with the stick and the balls, less so the swimming portion being weighed down somewhat by his adamantium skeleton. Yeah, he's stabbed me in the face and head more than a few times.

[A little too casually]

[maximoff_girl]

[Wanda is about to proudly mention how her father took advantage of that particular trait of Wolverine's, but she's distracted by the face stabbing.]

... You seem still alive. And. ... Un-stabbed. Do you have a healing factor?

[the_dead_pool2]

Despite the best efforts of a whole bevy of individuals I assure you. Ding ding ding. That is correct, circle gets the square.

[He himself was included in the group who had tried to make him un-alive]

[maximoff_girl]

Hmm. I've always felt healing to be an extremely... useful power. ... But it seems painful, none the less.

[the_dead_pool2]

Useful, sure.

[Also kind of a curse]

After you get blown up a few times you get used to it. Besides, I usually give out pretty well to him as well.

[maximoff_girl]

I spend most of my time actively trying to not make things explode... especially me. I suppose it's... all just a matter of perspective.

[the_dead_pool2]

Naw, you got it all wrong.

[He shakes his head]

You just gotta make sure the explosions happen to people you don't like, then its all good.

[maximoff_girl]

Hmm. [That... does make an alarming amount of sense. It pretty much lines up with what her father's always saying, only in a much blunter way. She considers.]

I don't think... [A typical statement for Wanda.] ... I know most people well enough to say whether I like them or not.

[the_dead_pool2]

Allow me to enlighten you then.

[He clears his throat]

Anyone from HYDRA, Mr. Sinister's crew and himself of course, that good ol' Latvian dictator Dr. Doom, Norman Osborne is consistently a dick and deserving of a good explosion. Also Tombstone, dude just has got some obsessive sort of thing going on. Purifiers and Humanity's Last Stand would be ones you want to probably just nuke... twice. The Serpent Society can get real annoying.

[He makes a dust off motion]

At the top of my head, there are a few. Oh and it should go without saying but clowns, zombies, and mimes.

[maximoff_girl]

I haven't met any of... them. [Though a few names sound vaguely familiar.] If I do though, I will... consider blowing them up? [That didn't seem quite right, somehow. ] What do they have against mutants?

[the_dead_pool2]

Well, some of them don't have anything specific against mutants. Purifiers and Humanity's Last Stand do. The others are just out to mess with the world. Sinister likes to experiment on mutants though.

[maximoff_girl]

Well then. ... I don't care for any of them. [She huffs a little.] If I ever run into them... They will wish they had not. [Big talk for a little witch, but then, she has literally never lost a fight that she can remember so her ego isn't without precedent. ]

[the_dead_pool2]

Yeah, best not to go looking for them unless you got specific reason.

[He taps a nearby table]

By the way Wanda, you got an alias or something?

[maximoff_girl]

Mmm. Yeah. ... I go by the Scarlet Witch, though... there hasn't been much of a call for that name here.

1/2

[the_dead_pool2]

[Blink blink.]

Scarlet Witch?

2/2

[the_dead_pool2]

[Well that certainly explains the whole confidence at dealing with all the baddies]

Huh. You are a bit younger than I am accustomed to. I am guessing you aren't part of the Avengers either?

[maximoff_girl]

Mmm, no, although... I've been told that they're... probably something that happens in my future. [Cheerfully enough. She doesn't really know anything about the Avengers, other than they "Help people".] It seems like-- most people I know are used to an... older version of me. ... Sorry?
