Cast of Characters: Megan Gwynn, Achilles, Michael Hannigan




Megan Gwynn has posed:
So Yeah, Mega wandered out of the school again cuz she got bored, oh, and kinda lost. And now that it's getting late, she should really get back home. Too bad her magic's still a little rusty or she could just port back. Unfortunately, her latest port ends up porting her into a tree, hanging upside down by the heel. And she shrieks as she just suddenly appears in a flock of fleeing pigeons, flailing her arms about helplessly as she finds her wings terribly tangles in the branches. "Eeeps!"

Achilles has posed:
    Speaking of heels. Angelo Tampambulos is out for an evening run in the park. He's checked into a nearby hotel for business, and is approaching said tree at jogging speed when the girl appears up there. Now, he -has- seen odd things in his long life, and so he slows down and stops under the tree, "'Ello up there!" he calls up with a hint of an English accent. "You okay up there?!" he adds.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Well, after an eventful afternoon, Mike has found himself returning home. In his hand, the chronically tired performer has yet another coffee. And yet again, he DOESN'T quite want to head back to the condo. So, the short haired, quasi-beareded performer is wandering.

It's reasonably peaceful, leading to the sound of the Eeep to reach his ears. Hmm. Not quite like a bird but coming from a tree. Turning his head, he sees a flash of pink where it shouldn't be attached to a person where they shouldn't be as well. Giving a bit of a smile, he strolls over, glancing up. "Oye! How the hell did you get up there?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn is pretty high up in the tree, and it doesn't look like a very climbable tree. She wriggles her arms, trying to get a hold of something, anything, but her arms are pretty much touching air. And with her wings tangled up, this is not gonna be a pretty sight! "Ooooo not really! Eeep!" a twig suddenly snaps and with a surprised scream, Megan finds herself falling down down dooooowwn.....

Achilles has posed:
    Noticing Mike's approach, Achilles smirks a bit and says, "You're out without your shadow." before glancing up just as the girl starts to fall. He moves into position and says up, "Go limp! I gotcha!" He's not superhumanly strong. But he -is- strong. He hopes he can catch the girl as she falls.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
"Not on the clock." Mike points out matter of factly, still looking to the girl, frowning, as he sees her moving around, "Hey, just stay still! I-" He doesn't get to finish the statement as the girl start tumbling. "F-"

Well, as things start to slow motion here there are things to consider. One, he's currently in human form. Two. Changing forms take time. Three, the tree's not THAT tall. Four. Someone's already set to ca-

You know what? Should have just pointed out Four. Mike doesn't do anything except look dumbfounded as Megan tumbles downward with Achilles at the ready. The only way he's actually helping is by not saying anything to either of them during this moment of danger.

Look at that. A lazy team player, but a team player nonetheless.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn eeps, falling out of the tree and into Achille's arms. Her wings are not readily visible although one might notice something glistening hidden under her slightly torn jacket. "Oof! Phew, thanks! I've been running around all night, soo tired.." she sighs, climbing o ut of his arms, wrapping the jacket more tightly around her arms. Did they see the wings? Well the hair is probably easily explained as funky dye, but the wings..

Achilles has posed:
    "Gotcha!" exclaims Achilles as he catches the girl. He doesn't hold onto her as she tries to wriggle free. He lets her go just as easily as he caught her. Again, he's not -super- strong, but he is strong and durable. He sets Pixie down and inclines his head, "You okay?" he asks her as she gets on her feet. Whether or not he sees the wings? He doesn't really indicate whether he did or not. I mean.. he's a demigod. He's used to strange looking women falling out of trees. Greece was lousy with such things.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
After Megan is caught, the musician lets out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding. He's looking more towards the girl's face than her backside so the wings have likely missed his notice. The shimmer was probably hair glitter.

"For someone running around all night, you sure pick odd destinations to run to." Mike comments, pausing to take a sip of his coffee.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn laughs a bit nervously at Mike, glancing between the two of them still anxious about something. "Erm..Yeah..Sorry, guess I just got a bit confused. You know, some crazy punks were chasing after me and I panicked and erm....Climbed the tree?" okaaay so that excuse isn't very convincing, at least the last part isnt. How'd she get up there in the first place?

Achilles has posed:
    Eyes traversing their way up the tree, Achilles pauses, and then looks back to Pixie. "You climbed -that- tree?" he asks, jerking his thumb up that way. "Now I am even more impressed. Are you part dryad?" He smirks a bit, "The world -is- filled with strange and fantastic creatures after all."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Nick glances up at the tree and then to the trunk lacking the proper spots to plant ones feet to facilitate climbing on. "Uh huh..." His tone is one of disbelief, "Did they stop to help?"

He looks to the nervous look on Megan's face and sighs, shaking his head, "Eh, don't worry about it. You ended up there you're now down here. It's done."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks up at the tree, realizing how unlikely it is that anyone could have climbed such a straight, tall tree like that. And a fir tree no less. "Oh! Hahaha! You know, I'm like a cat, can easily climb UP stuff, but have trouble climbing down..." and then he goes and asks such an off kilter question and she squeaks. "Eeep! A dryad!? Hahaha, what a funny thing, they only exist in storybooks!" She giggles.

Megs does take a double take at Mike, peering at him more closely, "Heeeey, you look kinda familiar...Are you that super awesome musician..Umm.....Nick Drago!?"

Achilles has posed:
    "Indeed. Dryads are storybook creatures. But flying dragons, Heat Vision aliens, and rings that make giant robots out of energy. Those are real?"
    He grins a bit and shrugs, "One never knows what -could- be real or not, do they? I mean you could have an immortal demigod running around the city and who would know?" asks Achilles with an amused smirk on his face.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike lifts up his coffee again, taking another sip, which is aborted as Megan connects the dots a bit too quickly considering the change in hairstyle. The cup lowers. "Well, I do get told I look like him from time to time." He admits, "Name's Mike."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn ooohs, "So cool! Nice to meet you, Mr. Mike!" she's apparently done her research, being a huge fan of his or something. Glancing at Achilles, she arches a brow, "Umm yeah, I guess that stuff is real, along with other stuff that people hate and fear...You know..Mutants? But I'll bet some of them look like dryads or other weird things. Not that I'm a mutant, of course!" that last part is added a bit too quickly perhaps, and as she adjusts her torn jacket, one of her glistenning wings is a bit more visible now.

Achilles has posed:
    "Define mutant." suggests Achilles. "Someone who is different from birth on due to genetics? That describes -all- of humanity. Not to mention all of the offshoots and half aliens and.." he gestures uptown, "The mansion of the Avengers has a Viking god. If that is not a mutant, then I do not know what is." He shrugs. "The biology of a person is -far- less important than the psychology. Wouldn't you agree?" he asks you both.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Busted. Well, it appears doubling down on the new look did not seem to work.

The sparkle does draw Mike's attention for a moment before he glances over to Achilles at his question, "Well, the world would be boring if everyone was born the same. And genetics is only a small part of the story of how you end up the type of person you are. Sometimes the thing that changes you the most is something or someone you encounter."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn bites her lip, "Umm..Yeah, except they get treated worse than everyone else, so is it a surprise that they have to live in hiding?" she frowns, "Oh that's right..Genosha is a mess right now because of that.." and she shivers a bit, realizing something. "Ooh, I should get going...Umm, nice meeting you all!" and with that she hurries off into the evening.
