Il Pollo, Tuesday Evening

[electrocynic]

The thing about choosing date attire while your apartment was full of pollen was that sometimes you ended up in a dress that you were kind of a little too boobtastic for. But sometimes these things couldn't be helped. Because sometimes it was way too late to go back and change once you realized the error of your fashion ways, and you just had to own it.

Also, she did look great in it. Try to contain yourselves, Il Pollo customers.

"Well, here we are," she told her date, once they'd entered. Because she was perhaps even worse at talking while on a date than she was at dressing for one.

[ooc: For that one guy.]

"Duly noted. What'll you have?"

[electrocynic]

"Something disgustingly girly with a ridiculous umbrella?"

Well, she'd dressed up. Might as well shy away from beer, too.

[imafuturist]

"Two ridiculously girly drinks then," he said, giving the bartender a bright grin that would probably end with a phone number being written on a napkin.

Despite the obvious date. This week was special.

[electrocynic]

Sarah watched him as he ordered the drinks.

Then she snorted. "You are so getting hit on." And not by her.

Well, not just her.

[imafuturist]

"I get hit on a lot," he admitted like it was a secret. "But I'm here with you."

[electrocynic]

"Well fucking spotted, Tony," Sarah snarked – cheerfully! – because that was her way of obscuring the fact that she was pleased. "Gold star."

[imafuturist]

"Ooo, I don't think they handed those out when I was in school. I'll put it up on my wall to admire," he promised.

[electrocynic]

"How very teacher's pet of you," she rasped, tilting her head a little.

[imafuturist]

"I feel like there's a dirty joke in the making there considering your job," Tony replied, trying not to laugh as their drinks arrived.

Yes, he was going to ignore the phone number and the 'threesome?' next to it. And possibly never look the bartender in the eye ever again.

[electrocynic]

"Sort of what I was going for," she admitted, reaching for the drink. "Going to be sort of compulsive this week, I think."

[imafuturist]

"Should I be worried about my virtue?"

Ha. Ahahahahahaha. Ha.

[electrocynic]

"Only if you think you have something left to protect."

[imafuturist]

"Well, if we want to be sure, I should take Tina with a heart over the 'i' up on her offer of a threesome," Tony joked, lifting up his obnoxiously pink cocktail up to eye the napkin.

[electrocynic]

"Dunno if I want threesomes with people who sound twelve."

Although mind you, Jenny would've also probably done the heart-dot thing if her name had allowed it.

But Sarah didn't particularly want a threesome with her, either. (Sorry, online fanboys.)

[imafuturist]

You're breaking hearts, Sarah!

"I'd say she'd at least have to be over twenty-one, but I've seen the bars here."

[electrocynic]

"'S not an age thing, it's an attitude thing, anyway," Sarah noted over the edge of her glass. "The heart sounds... gushy."

[imafuturist]

"Which is something most--not all--people grow out of." Unless Captain America was involved where he was from. No one was safe from it. So many fanboys/girls. "Especially after they actually meet the object of their affection."

[electrocynic]

"Eh." She shrugged. Sipped her drink. "Anyway, did you ever manage to handle Satan's radio?"

[imafuturist]

"Well, Strange took it and hasn't returned any of my phone calls, so it's possible he's fighting on some demonic plane to save it."

He said it like a joke. It was not.

[electrocynic]

Yeah, the little beat that passed before Sarah replied said she wasn't entirely sure of it, either.

"Well, it hasn't popped back in my office yet, so that's good."

[imafuturist]

HIS LIFE WAS A LITTLE WEIRD FOR FIRST DATE MATERIAL, OKAY?

"I'd say I can't believe, but this place likes to do that to us "

[electrocynic]

"Yeah, you sort of end believing every bloody stupid thing, 'round here." Trust her, she'd been here for waaay too long already. "'S giving me a severely warped concept of normal."

[imafuturist]

"Here I would have thought going by Electroclash would have done that," Tony said, leaning closer.

[electrocynic]

Her smirk was a little crooked. "That's been around so long it is my normal."

In fact, with each passing year she got a little more reluctant to tell people just how long it had been.

But she wasn't really thinking about that right now. That lean might've had something to do with it.

[imafuturist]

That lean was devious, it was true.

"Really? Where I'm from, most 'capes' have only seemed to appear in the past few years."

He totally added to the devious nature with a hand on her knee.
