Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam flies into Billy's apartment using the back window of secrecy. He bears a great burden: three boxes of pizza. He sets them down, still warm and softly says his magic word. A flash of wild magic and Billy Batson appears, wearing a cap topped with a plastic pizza slice on a spring. The logo rads Pizza d'Action. He starts to take his jacket off and winces and stops. Then he looks at the corner of the apartment that was his studio. The backdrop is removed, the desk disassembled. He pulls a jar out from under his mattress. Then pulls some money out of his pocket and stick it in the jar. Winces again.

"Well, I made the rent. I have food, which I need to wrap and freeze. Rosa invited me to dinner tonight. I think I'm good. Maybe better than good, if I can get this stupid jacket off. Ow."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
For her part? Sunny was out and about. She'd finished her shift at the diner, she's busy considering...her current project. Instead the blonde was tucked away atop of a radio tower, her sketchbook on her lap as she continued playing at new designs for...well, something.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson pulls his phone out and texts Sunny, <<Come over for pizza. While it's hawt! <span style='color:#FF0000;'><3</span>> "Sunny is the cure for my ills. The aptly named goddess of positivitivity. Positivity." He puts two of the pizza boxes in his fridge and leaves the third -pepperoni out. Then he gets some paper plates. Maybe he should upgrade soon: plastic plates!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Well...pizza is quite the draw for a uni student. She's headed that way, a rush of flurious movement and crossing the sky, the flying sketch artist was headed towards the window that was opened, one quick sweep before she touched down into the windowframe.

"Hey there."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson looks up and says, "Hey, come in. Don't sit in the window like one of those Bat people. You're way too pretty. I have pepperoni out. I also have peppers and onions and olives. But I stuck them in the fridge. You might need to heat them a little." He catches a shadow and realizes he's still wearing that goofy hat with the pizza slice. He goes to remove it and the sleeve of his jacket pulls up revealing a bandage wrapping his forearm. "Oh hey, you been drawing? Could I see?" Yes direct attention away from stupid cap.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Of course, rather than perched like a bat she was sitting on the space with her legs forward, as if she were sitting on the arm of a couch or something like that. Still, she was left to raise an eyebrow at his attire before she hugs her sketchpad to herself. "It's a costume, not a superheroics one. Just...cosplay stuff."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson raises an eyebrow at that. "Then I definitely want to see. I like your cosplay stuff. Here have some pizza first." He pulls his jacket off revealing indeed his forearm is bandaged. Then he plates the pizza slices. "I had a bit of a ruckus the other day in the park. Krypto bit me. I had to go to Urgent Care. As Shazam."

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"No spoilers," she offers simply, grinning a little and setting aside the book only to blink at the injury and tilt her head to the side. "Uh...what gives with that?" she questions, pointing to the dressing. "I didn't think that was...a thing."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson displays the damaged arm. "Yeah, when I get bloodied as Shazam sometimes it carries over to me. I had a broken nose after fighting Juggernaut for a few hours. It's healing fast. The more time I send as Shazam the faster it heals but Billy has a life, you know? Plus I wanted to see you and do this. Anyway, this dumpster fire of a god named Pan, I think it's Pan, messed with me before. He sent this magical insect called a gad fly to drive Krypton crazy. He attacked me then Superboy and I got this before we held him down. Before that he was such a good boi. We were having lunch. He eye-beamed some cold fries for me. It works way better than lightning. Anyway, I went to an Urgent Care as Shazam and said a space future dog bit me. They fixed it -no charge." He moves his chair next to Sunny's and says, Let's have a quick look. What do you say?"

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"Huh, who'd have figured?" she muses, his question about peeking earning a shake of her head as she hugged the sketchpad to her chest and muffled the sight of whatever she'd been working on. "Being a superhero comes with healthcare?" Still, she comes to grin, sliding the book from where it rests, she closes it and simply sits her behind down on it with a grin.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson is a little nonplussed. "Oh well that's sure to dampen my curiosity. I guess I give up," he says. Then with a bog grin, he attempts t seize Sunny and lift her pff the sketchbook. "Rahr!" Pure posturing. She'd give him a struggle without superpowers, which she always has. His are part time. "I have you now Space Future Alien Princess! I Mortal Mundane Man!" Well look who's shaving twice a week and totally psyched.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Of course, Sunny gives a little mock protest, but as he makes to lift her upwards, she gives a little pretend "Oh no! I am bested! What ever will I do?" she questions before smirking and starting to float upwards, holding the book aloft and just out of reach.

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson was not expecting her to float. He goes backwards, hits the mattress behind him and tumbles across it, rolling and landing on the floor on the opposite side of the bed away from Sunny.

It looks sort of like an actin hero move except you know, not cool. Action Movie Doofus maybe. He climbs onto the mattress and collapses n it favoring his bandaged arm. He's shaking with laughter. "Sha-sha-hahahahahaha! Owowowow hahaahaah aaah!" Well that's one way to keep him from saying that word.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Sunny Harlow actually smirks at that, floating on the spot before making to invert herself, closing her book. "I told you. It's a cosplay character, not a uniform. Noone we know, and it's not ready so...nyah, you'll just have to wait and see like everybody else."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson finally stops laughing. "Did you actually nyah me? Ow... I'll wait. I better be first to see it. Especially after I nearly get crippled for my enthusiasm." He looks at her and holds his arms out, suddenly serious. "Come here please, I want to show you something." He sits up on the mattress.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"You're damn right I did," she offers simply before lowering herself down towards the bed once more and then setting her book aside. "This Cosplay thing -was- your idea. I assume you're following the site..." she muses lightly before drawing closer. "What are you showing me?"

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson reaches under the pillow. "two things actually. Shazam has something to show you, and I have this!" He pulls out a... flute." He leans against her a moment then frees his arms up. "I do like when you lean. I just need a little room."
"I haven let a lot of people know about this. It's kind of private." He begins playing scales, slowly and hesitantly. "Okay. This is for you. It's written for another space princess." Then he gives her a wink and launches into 'Leia's Theme' from Star Wars.' He plays it quite well, despite his posing as a clumsy beginner initially. His passion is obvious, though t is hard to say whether it is for the song or the girl. He keeps his eyes on her except when he comes to a difficult bridge. He finishes the song and waits for her reaction, a little nervous. In s mind she just yells 'NERD!' and flies off.

Sunny Harlow has posed:
Well, that's not what she expected, but it is quite the curious suprise, earning a little giggle as she recognizes the tune before letting him finish and planting a little kiss on his cheek. "Very cute, but even I'm not quite as badass as Leia."

Billy Batson has posed:
Billy Batson chuckles and returns the kiss. "Debatable. Now for Lightning Boy... " He stands and moves away from the bed. "SHAZAM." Lightning Boys stand before Sunny and does a slow twirl, letting her take in... well what exactly?

Of course the somewhat smaller by comparison Sunny is no ordinary woman. She's a fashion designer! She can see the armguards and boots are simpler, though the same color, and the belt is now a sash. Shazam's full mantel is now a shorter cape without the hood. Finally the uniform is now a tunic and pants, the tunic fastened by a button and looking more military ca. the Civil War. Shazam finishes the tour with a ta-daah!

Sunny Harlow has posed:
"Are you sure you should do that in h-" BOOM. Lightning. Sigh and a smile. Sunny crosses her arms under her bust before watching as he turned and revealed his outfit, earning a little grin and a smile. "Very retro-asthetic. What's brought that idea on? Felt like going for a new look?"

Billy Batson has posed:
Shazam spreads his hands out. "I discovered I can modify my costume. Small tweaks. It's hard to loses the cape and I have a limited palette, but who knows how far this can go. And the lightning doesn't damage anything except really heavy shielding or armor... and pens apparently. Sorry again for that. I thought hey Sunny can play dress up with me! Before this I could change and leave the uniform behind to wear other clothes. That was it. Cape wouldn't even come off with Pantheon and Thunderbolt assisting." He hops up and spins slowly in mid-air showing it once again then lands.
