o/` Waking up is hard to do..o/` (Inside Arkham)

Jul 13, 2005 09:53

Not just yet, Da.. Five more minutes..?For a moment, I almost forget that I'm not five anymore. In that muzzy moment between sleep and wakefulness, the scent of mint in the air reminds me of his pipe. A truly majestic thing, the way his strong hands would carefully pack the tobacco in and then light the match, the cherry embers atop as the fire ( Read more... )

Rosie peeked into Alicia's room through the window in the door, wondering if the poor woman is still asleep.

*Alisa is sitting up in bed, typing something into the side of one of her mechanical gloves. Her goggles are off, and she looks less drawn than the night before.*

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 20:05:36 UTC

She knocks lightly on the door.

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 20:08:46 UTC

*looks up, and over, tapping a final note on the glove, and then powering it down*

Come.. come in. Rosie, right..?

Thank you for the mint.

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 20:19:24 UTC

*She steps in, smiling to Alicia*

Yes, Rosie. You're welcome. How are you feeling?

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 20:23:09 UTC

*rubs the back of her neck, and offers a tired smile back*

Better? I haven't slept well for a few weeks - It was a nice change.

I.. I brought out my ID card, if you need it for processing or anything. It's from Paragon City, RI. That's where I live.

*passes over a small, officially embossed 'Licensed Hero' registration card, stating name, security level and clearances.

There's a lot of clearances.*

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 20:30:52 UTC

*looks over the card* Wow. Heroes are licensed in your world?

Would you like some breakfast?

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 20:34:05 UTC

*nods briefly, then offers a little laugh*

Most are. The registration was made voluntary after the repeal of one of the forced work acts. Most people still do it though because otherwise, it's hard to find people to help train powers.

Plus, if you're going to enforce the law, you have to be deputized. That's part of the Citizen Crime Prevention Act.

*looks down at a suddenly rumbling stomach*

Um. Wow, yes - I think I skipped a meal or two.
What do you have here?

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 20:40:47 UTC

Oh, all sorts of things. What are you in the mood for?

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 20:45:17 UTC

Ah.. Just cereal?

I don't want to put anyone through any trouble.

You did enough of that last night, Alisa..

*pauses, then puts on a smile*

Yes. Cereal, please.

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 20:50:36 UTC

It's no trouble, really. I like to cook.

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 20:55:14 UTC

*leans back a little against the wall*

if it's no trouble - bacon and eggs? I think that'd be filling enough..

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 21:37:48 UTC

That's no trouble at all.

((Is she dressed, or still in jammies?))

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 21:40:34 UTC

((Jammies bottoms are on, and her hero top. Gloves are on, goggles off.))

twitchnosewitch July 13 2005, 21:41:51 UTC

Would you like me to step out while you finish getting dressed?

hit_people_guy July 13 2005, 21:47:38 UTC

*chuckles, shakes her head*

It's okay - the top is like a leotard. I'm decent under this.

*reaches for her jeans, discards the pajama bottoms and quickly gets dressed, with a hop to get the darned things up over her hips. She grabs her goggles after, setting them on top of her head.*

Alright. Ready as I'll ever be, Rosie.
