Brooklyn, Saturday night

[giveherahand]

Mara, dressed in a skin-tight pair of black leggings and a shirt almost as ugly as Eggsy's terrifying wolf coat under her own leather jacket, glanced over at her date for the night. "Why do you smell like Outer Rim livestock?" she asked as they walked past an obscene number of tattoo shops and whiskey bars

"Detention," Eggsy replied, sniffing at himself. But it didn't help that he'd gone numb to the smell after an hour or so of shoveling shit. "Apparently you shouldn't drink in class or flirt with your prof."

[giveherahand]

Mara giggled. "It's certainly something."

[myfaireggsy]

"You doubtin' me?"

[giveherahand]

"Never," Mara said, kissing him on the nose.

[myfaireggsy]

Eggsy had to smile at that, tugging her along down the street. "Found us a place to eat."

It was called Kale-ifornia Dreaming.

[giveherahand]

Of course it was.

"Oooh, what kind of food?" she asked.

[OOC: Sorry! Two guys with a machete chopped down a tree in our neighbor's yard and killed the telephone/internet and put a ten foot hole in our razor wired fence. Because they are idiots.]

[myfaireggsy]

"Raw vegan." A beat. "We should eat burgers in front of the place."

[giveherahand]

"Definitely!"

Mara, you are such a troll.

[myfaireggsy]

It's what brought them together.

"Ain't a proper date until we make people cry."

[giveherahand]

"Well, then we are well ahead of schedule," Mara said. "After we're done, we should track the vegan sweatshirt guy back down and tell him about our burgers."

[myfaireggsy]

"We could bring him one. Share the love."

But make it a Big Mac. Nothing artisan or locally sourced about that.

[giveherahand]

"That would be very nice of us," Mara agreed.

Not even remotely.

[myfaireggsy]

"Look hungry, yeah? All skin and bones, these people."

That was the optical illusion of the skinny jean.

[giveherahand]

"I think it's because they're stuck in their pants," Mara said.

[myfaireggsy]

"Might need your help gettin' out of mine if that's the case." Eggsy, no.

[giveherahand]

Mara snickered. "You really think that's going to work?"

Because it really would.
