008 ~*~ At least she can't drink and fly...

[ Action : Olney's Tavern : Open ]
[ If you're a regular at the bar, you might notice a new sigth in one of the stools. A tall red-haired Chinese woman in a plain green dress is making herself right at home, even if the drone workers don't particularly care about serving her anything other than weak, fruity, feminine drinks

Action: Olney's Tavern

[heartstar_blues]

[Orders a bottle of whiskey, two glasses and nudges her.

Points over to the table.]

Don't bother with drones, you're better off just making friends.

[notsogreatwall]

--that's a very plain costume. [ If you'll pardon her saying so. ] What's a "heart star"?

[heartstar_blues]

Hey, I like it.

The Heart Star is magic, it gives me my powers.

[notsogreatwall]

Oh? What kind of powers? Can you fly, shoot beams, summon creatures, throw trains...?

[heartstar_blues]

Yes, no, no, and yes. I'm also pretty tough to kill.

[notsogreatwall]

I see~ [ Humming thoughtfully. ] I can't fly yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. [ Like, if she would check her mail... ] Were you born like that?

[heartstar_blues]

You a super hero too?

[Shaking his head though.]

Nope, little green aliens thought I was cool so they gave me the magic.

[notsogreatwall]

Aliens, honest? Wow! We had an incident with UFOs once, but I've never met a real-life alien before. [ To the other question she, too, shakes her head. ] No, nothing like that. I'm just a simple youkai. [ "Just", she says. ]

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, little green men and everything.

[Though he seems confused by the last part.]

Youkai?

[notsogreatwall]

Whoa~ That sounds cool!

[ Not like those aliens that the Commissar guy was talking about. These didn't sound all that scary, and this man was pretty cool, too. She takes a big gulp and nods after setting it down. ] Mmhmm! I'm a dragon, but youkai is the catch-all term we call all the supernatural and spiritual beings where I'm from. It doesn't seem to be a popular term around here...

[heartstar_blues]

Dragon?

Man, I fought one once. It was rough.

[notsogreatwall]

[ A hearty laugh, but it's not mocking. ] I guess we're a tough breed, no matter where we're from.

[ She pours them both a little extra, and raises her glass for a toast. ] No hard feelings, I hope?

[heartstar_blues]

[Clinks glasses.]

No hard feelings.

[Down it goes.]

Besides. He was working for the bad guys. I'm a super hero not a dragon hunter.

[notsogreatwall]

[ Gulping hers down, too. Mm, that hit the spot~ ] Good to know! Then we won't have any problems. [ Or so she hoped. ]

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, just don't gobble up innocent children or something.

[notsogreatwall]

[ Appalled! ] I'd never do that! Do you think they'd let me work at the school if I would?
