Naria Shepard has posed:
An invite, a message, they had swapped numbers after all, but given everything else that had happened with the magic stuff, demons and the official business...and then there's today's invite, simply a selfie sent from the market next to a small baking cart and there's a donut in her hand. <<If you feel like it, these are all pretty good. Better get here before I eat them all!>>

Of course, she's a speedster, so maybe her patience was too short.

Hellboy has posed:
    Hellboy walks into the mall, people staring and taking cell phone photos of the famous demon. He's got a shirt and boots on, but also that nebulous duster of his. He walks to the escalator, riding it slowly upward. Looking to his left, he watches a string of people riding down with cell phone cameras out as they go past. He sighs. Usually, such things die down fairly soon after being in a place, assuming nothing crazy happens.
    Entering into the area with the baking cart, Hellboy looks around for Rave. She's usually not hard to find; it'll be easier to find the colorful young lady than the baking cart itself.

Naria Shepard has posed:
Glowy lights, neon hair...and she was currently standing near the cart absently sipping away at a boba tea she'd picked up at a different spot. Of course, she wasn't blind either, spotting people reacting to the demon and the sight of him moving his way over. A little wave of her hand to greet him and she takes another sip of her drink, waiting for him to close the distance.

Hellboy has posed:
    Which he does. He offers a Right Fistbump of Doom and a smile. "Hey, kid," he says, clearly pleased to see her. "You look good." It was a politeness to say that to a woman in an unfamiliar outfit, but it was also social shorthand that things were mundane enough that there was nothing to see here. It was even working. Now that he was having a normal conversation with a normal girl, he was less of a curiosity and cameras were more of an intrusion. Hooray, social shortcuts! There were still a few people taking pictures, but they did so more surreptitiously, and they'd thin out as long as he didn't do anything amazing.

Naria Shepard has posed:
Simple jeans, a tank top, she was dressed for a day out rather than a night or her namesake, but it -was- a different outfit. She lifts here hand to meet the fistbump before she gestures with her head to the stand. "So grab a few of the different flavours and colors and stuff?" Rave offers and takes a sip of her drink. "How's the magic thingy going by the way?"

Hellboy has posed:
    "Good," Hellboy says, pulling a wallet from his coat and pointing at this and that donut that were added to a bag for him. "Got things turned into steel; got some infusion of sunlight and holy energy; just gotta find someone to help me shape things." He pauses picking flavors to look at Rave. "Actually, I need an energy storage medium. Do you know of any way to directly store lightning, sunlight, or holy energy?"

Naria Shepard has posed:
"Uh...lightning? Maybe just like...a big battery?" she questions lightly before grinning. "Lasers and light I work with, beyond that? I mean..." she trails off and shrugs her bared shoulders before pointing to a few selections. Sweet, some a little artificial...some with jam (or Jelly). "That and music stuff."

Hellboy has posed:
    "Battery will explode," Hellboy repeats. He's been told that by someone else. "Capacitor, maybe, but with actual lightning, it will also explode." His attention is pulled back to picking donuts for a few moments before paying for everything and accepting a stuffed paper bag filled with sugary goodness. He starts walking toward the food court seating. "I'll have to talk to the SHIELD science hippies," he continues. "Might be something exotic that will work. Vibranium based or something." He opens the bag and plucks out a donut without looking. Apparently, he's not so picky.

Naria Shepard has posed:
Welp, she reaches to retrieve one for herself and takes a bite, a noise of delight slipping from her lips as she munches down on the baked treat and then nods her head lightly. Super science and stuff, Rave grins as she swallows her first mouthful. "I mean, I haven't even worked out a 'super suit' like some people out there. I'm still saving people and fighting...super space monster zombie dinosaur things in activewear and my normal clothes."

Hellboy has posed:
    Hellboy chuffs out a, "Heh." He finishes a donut in two bites, then swallows and says, "It's not that big a deal. I sometimes don't even wear a shirt." Then again, he's probably more durable than she is. "You probably should, though," he adds as an afterthought, more for decency since they were in public than an actual suggestion.

Naria Shepard has posed:
Rave grins at that, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm sure there's at least one piece of fanart out there that someone's drawn suggesting otherwise," the bluenette grins before gesturing to her arms and then her exposed midriff with her drink in her hand. "I mean, bare skin makes it easier to absorb light from all around me, that's why daytime leaves me all charged up...but I think my career as a superhero might get a little more complicated if I was arrested for public indecency!"

Hellboy has posed:
    Hellboy shakes his head, two-biting a donut instead of commenting. After swallowing, he says, "We should hit the beach or some rooftop one of these days to sunbathe." It's not the worst suggestion he could have come up with, but this time of year, it'd be very cold. Then again, to a demon like Hellboy, everything is equally cold on Earth. Poor guy's been frozen solid in a block of ice and was mostly just pissed because he was immobile, not because of how cold it was.

Naria Shepard has posed:
"Totally," Rave nods, another bite finishing off her donut and then biting her bottom lip. "I mean, I kinda sometimes take a trip. The benefit of superspeed...I can run pretty much anywhere in the world in minutes. If I wanna sunbathe I sometimes head to this little island partway between Australia and Indonesia, or to other places like Fiji or..." she pauses and grins. "I mean, I guess I'm technically breaking visa laws but...no harm, right?"

Hellboy has posed:
    Hellboy chuckles. "You little lawbreaker," he teases her, playfully. "I can't quite keep up with light speed. You might have to slow down to hang out with me in your little bikini and absorb all the sun."

Naria Shepard has posed:
"You mean you can't do some sort of magic teleporty thing or borrow some super SHIELD jet?" Rave mock-pouts, another sip of her boba tea before she laughs lightly. "And hey, the first time you met me I was doing a show in that bikini top and fishnet shirt so...it's not -that- different."

Hellboy has posed:
    Hellboy nods. "At least my imagination doesn't have to work that hard," he says with a shrug. He lifts the bag and realizes, "Out of donuts? Already?" He drops the bag to the table. He looks at Rave. "You want me to get more, or you want to get out of here and find some sun?"

Naria Shepard has posed:
Another sip of her drink, there was a gulp of the tapioca balls within before she zips over towards one for the garbage bins, a flash of blue light and a streak of neon before she deposits it down into the can...then she's back again, a shrug of her shoulders as she leans forwards and not-so-subtly steals one of the treats from his bag. "I mean, I could..."
