{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie had talked to Jay the night before about playing a bit of bball the next morning. So Sam is here in his jean shorts and t-shirt with a basketball waiting for his brother. He does have a small cooler over to one side, and has pulled a personal bottle of OJ out of it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>The sounds of Jay's wings can be heard before he is seen. He has on a pair of Xavier's School navy blue gym shorts and a camouflage T-shirt with the sleeves cut off. He swoops down from above and lands on the court. His hair is a fright and he smells faintly of some of the stuff Uncle Luke likes to grow out in the back fields.<br><br>"Hey, Sam," Jay says mildly. "How you?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie looks over to his brother a brow raised a bit "Sleeping in the trees again?" He teases him a bit, but he is smiling and says "Doing ok, figured would work up a bit of a hunger this morning and then maybe do an early lunch."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Jay lunges and makes an unsuccessful attempt to swipe the ball away from his brother. Also, one of his athletic shoes is untied apparently. "It can't be more uncomfortable than these fuckin' dorm beds. Sometimes I'm tempted to sleep on the floor." Then he walks over to the cooler. "What's in here?" he asks as he opens it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie has water, juice and tea in the cooler, nothing stronger in there this morning. He smirks a bit and says "Got one of ma's old comforters, Ah can give ya to throw on the bed, if you think that might help. " He does move the ball out of the way as Jay tries to steal the ball "And we playing flying or no flying?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>The winged young man tugs an apple juice out of the cooler. He cracks it open and takes a sniff, wincing like he doesn't care for the smell. He takes a sip and cringes. "This is gross." Then he proceeds to chug the entire bottle down before letting out a huge belch and dropping the empty back into the cooler.<br><br>"No flying," Jay replies to his brother.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "Then why did ya not get something else." He shakes his head a bit and starts to bounce the ball. He grins and says "So, how are things going with Patty? "<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Jay shrugs. "I dunno. I already had it in my hand."<br><br>He quickly lunges and grabs the ball with his enhanced strength. He hooks it overhand toward the net and...misses it completely. The ball rolls around on the ground. Jay frowns. "Is that thing in a reg'lation position? Ain't it supposed to be a foot to the left?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie chuckles a bit as he moves to get the ball, and says "Well if we are playing here yea. We can try a game of Danger Ball later this week if ya want, then maybe the net will move to where ya want it to be." He will dribble in and will move to take a shot, hitting the backboard and bouncing through the net.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Jay grabs the rebound. "Things are fine with Patty. We're just friends." He shrugs as he dribbles and sinks a layup. "I asked her out but she told me she ain't into guys. It is what it is. Can't make people like what they don't like."<br><br>The winged mutant passes the ball over to Sam. "S'prolly for the best. Women tend to die when they go out with me." It happened one time like five years ago. Dramatic emo boy is dramatic.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie looks to the other, and says ""Ok, now that is such a great way to look at life." He continues to dribble the ball, and looks to his brother, and says "I am sure you will find someone who you want to go out with and who sees ya for the pain in the butt you are and will like ya anyways." He does give an opening for his brother to steal the ball, but makes it seem as if it was on accident.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Thinking that he's so clever, Jay snags the ball and dribbles up to the net for another layup. He grabs the rim with both hands and holds himself there for several seconds before dropping back to the ground. "Why'd you become a cop anyway? And don't even think 'bout arrestin me cuz weed is legal now." He passes the ball back to Sam.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Ah was out helping out a lot in Bushwich, and seen they could use some help there. Then Ah figured also would help the team here a bit to have a bit of an ear in on the police stuff for the city. Ah get to help folks and being on special units, gives me a bit more lee way.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Jay sits down on a bench. Some perspiration is dripping down the sides of his head. Naturally, with his superhuman stamina he's not at all tired. Probably just bored and anxious, like he usually is at all times.<br><br>"You think I'll ever find some kind of purpose? You got that policin stuff." He chuckles softly. "My brother th'cop. Nobody in the family saw that comin I bet." Jay shrugs a small bit. "I have no idea what the hell Joshua Guthrie is gonna be." He almost never uses his real first name. It reminds him of her. Of Julia. She called him Josh. Or Joshua if she was ticked off at him.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie looks over and grabs a water walking over and says "Well, Ah thought you were going to be the rock star, you decided your not wanting to go that path?<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Another apathetic shrug. "I dunno," Jay replies back to his brother. "Obviously I ain't gonna be a pro basketball player." He smirks a bit. "Patty was sayin she was gonna help me start goin to some places in New York where you can just go sing 'n stuff. Open mic 'n all that." He gestures toward his brother with a flick of his chin. "You know 'bout any of that kinda thing?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods, and will give his brother a few places, he has heard where both Lila and Allison have played. You know, that gives me an idea, Ah might have to talk to Berto about. Ah know Betsy has a club, but Berto might want to open one in Bushwick."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>Standing up, Jay meanders over to the cooler again and tugs out a water. He runs the cold bottle across his forehead before opening it and guzzling half of it down in one pull. "A dude with big fuckin wings might have an easier time performin in Bushwick, I guess. No point in putting it to the test to see how many New York City boys it'd take to put me down." A small frown. He peers at his brother.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie looks over and says "Well New York you might be able to get a lot easier than some other places, but Ah know what you mean though.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:3102|Jay Guthrie (3102)}} has posed:'''<br>After draining the bottle of water and dropping it back into the cooler, Jay walks over and bro-shakes and bro-hugs his brother. "I should get back to the dorm. Got class tomorrow and stuff. I'm glad you came by to chill, man."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods a bit and will pat his brother on the back during the hug, least as well as he can with the wings. "Well of you need help with anything you got my number."<br> <br>
