Ladies and Gentlemen...Johnny Blaze!

[cursedrider]

OOM The SoBe dome is proud to present the "TouchDown Jump" starring everyone's favorite daredevil, Johnny Blaze!

Milliways has seen it's fair share of patrons dressed oddly.

So maybe the man in the snazzy white jumpsuit with his name emblazoned on the back won't cause a stir. Then again, if you're at all familiar with motocross (in at least

The lo mein noodles slither off Riley's fork halfway to his mouth, unnoticed.

[cursedrider]

Now here's the tricky thing about this situation.

The Tricky thing is that Johnny is in fact a celebrity, and used to people making faces at him.

It's the suit.

So-he offers a slow smile and grins, "....It's the suit right? S'nothin' without the helmet."

[shortofcrazy]

Riley sets down his fork and he starts to grin. "Ben-- Ben, what the hell's up with the jumpsuit and the accent? It's, uh, it's ... something else."

[cursedrider]

Johnny frowns, "....Ben-"

He shakes his head, "I think you might have me confused with someone else." He nods slowly, "I'm Johnny. Johnny Blaze?"

[shortofcrazy]

"Ha ha," says Riley. "You're hilarious, Gates. You've got 'em rolling in the aisles here."

[cursedrider]

Long pause.

"....You haven't heard of Johnny Blaze?"

Johnny doesn't stop to consider the implications of that statement, "Look, what's your buddy Ben do? 'm a stunt cyclist."

[shortofcrazy]

Pardon Riley.

He's actually laughing his ass off now.

[cursedrider]

Johnny can take a joke with the best of them. Really. Today of all days though...

"...Look, tell me where I can get a bike and I'll prove it to you." Mac would have his head and hide if he knew he was riding before his show, but come on, the way this guy was goin-

"What's so funny?"

[shortofcrazy]

Riley stops laughing and looks at the guy. Really looks at him.

He says, "The Marquis de Lafayette was a girl."

He's watching you closely to see if you twitch, possibly-Ben.

[cursedrider]

"....The who's a what?"

He looks confused, "...That the guy who started the casual and potentially harmful sexfad?"

[shortofcrazy]

"Holy shit, you are not Ben."

He is also possibly crazy. What the hell?

[cursedrider]

Johnny knows that look. That's the self doubt "am I crazy?" Look. Johnny smiles, painfully, "Kept sayin' that."

He offers a hand, "The name's Johnny. Johnny Blaze. Stunt Cyclist. Motocross."

[shortofcrazy]

Oh, no, Riley knows he's perfectly sane. Johnny here is the one who's suspect.

Still, he reaches over and shakes the guy's hand. "Riley Poole, Washington D.C., 2004. Ben is--" he chuckles, "really not a stunt cyclist. It's crazy, though. You guys could be twins."

[cursedrider]

This gets a look, "...It's funny you should mention that."

He looks curious, giving the bar a once over with his roving eye, "...I ran into a girl who could just as easily pass for my-" One true love "My ex-girlfriend. That happen alot? This place producing genetic doubles?"

[shortofcrazy]

"Yeah? I've heard of that. I've never seen it myself, though." He gives Ben-- dammit, Johnny another sharp look and shakes his head. "Before, anyway. That's nuts, man."

[OOC: And I have to run! Slowtime please?]

[cursedrider]

Johnny can't help but grin, "This Ben guy must be a good guy. I mean he'd have to be if he looked like me."

Nod Nod, Grin.

At the last part, Johnny's eyes go dark and distant. Fixating firmly on the observation window, "....Yeah. Today of all days. Somethin' else."
