Parkour!
Date of Scene: 03 March 2020
Location: Brooklyn
Synopsis: Carson meets Alexis and Sam... and Carson might be meeting More Mutants.
Cast of Characters: Carson Deschain, Samuel Guthrie, Alexis Carr




Carson Deschain has posed:
The van was the first indicator he was in the area. There were -some- fans yes. But it's hard not to notice a day-glo green van with a navy silhouette of a man in profile, leaping through the air at full extension. Some of the MonkeyBoy INC. crew were on sight, working drones out here in New Lots - where it was easy to find places to bounce off of.

Carson was out, mid-air, leaping from a five story brownstone and was headed for a street light. A little boost to his jump was sure to carry him, a swinging grab to launch him across the street - as long as nothing went bad.

Fingers crossed?

At least there were drones in the air, keeping watch of him for the live feeds. A mad hope to land a Zesti or Soder promotion.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie has been hearing some things about this fellow. Rumors going around if he is normal or more than that. Sam has came out to see what he can find out. He came out a bit earlier than others, and is doing his batman impression complete with dark clothes and ski mask standing in shadows on a high ledge to watch the man from a different angle.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Well, Alexis was a bit of a freerunner herself, and most assuredly had an appreciation for the finely tuned skills of athletics.

    The street performing musican can be seen among the corwds, keeping her head down, wearing a pair of violet sunglasses, and watching keenly over Carson as he performs his extreme tricks to the gasps and cheers of fans and the crowd that begins to form around him.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Landing on the pole, feet first, hitting a crouch and then leaping again, Carson swings to keep his momentum, absorbing the impact and feeling the energy soaking into his bones before he is off again. Landing sideways against a pole, leaping to twist and flip to the top of a dumpster, off a wall, and then to the ground next to the music playing woman.

When he hits it looks harder than one might intend, but he drops to a rolling, landing in a crouch to look to Alexis, tipping her a two fingered salute. "Hey there!" Who is that!? Who is he talking to!? Curiosity abounds!

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks down at the ground level he frowns a bit and looks tot he man and the lady wishing he could hear what is being said. He considers dropping down, but for now, he is looking for a place where he might be able to without being seen but with those drones and his field that maybe hard.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    The woman gives a smile, living a hand in a friendly wave to Carson as she loks him over. "That is some fancy moves there, mate. Carson Deschain, I presume?" she inquires, blushing a little bit as she pulls her orange cap down a little further to help hide her face. Wouldn't do to simply be thrown up on all the channels ever!

Carson Deschain has posed:
"In the flesh, miss." motioning towards the guitar, "Strum a tune and I'll give a little show?" Flipping up onto one hand and holding in a single hand stand, looking down to look up at the young lady, all grins. He seems to be quite well trained at dealing with picture takers as well, oblivious seeming to the clicking and occasional camera phone flash going off around him.

"Also! What's your name miss? If you don't mind being shown on the Monkeyboy feed... or using your name?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks down the guy is doing the fancy moves and such and he mutters a bit. He will edge his way till he is out of sight from the people watching the dare devil. He will find a dark corner of the building and step off, letting himself freefall till he is down to the 3rd or 2nd floor to engage his power in little spirts to let himself land in the superhero landing.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    The girl laughs, and shakes her head a moment as she looks up to the chipper flip-ant lad, and she rubs the back of her head.

    "Alexis, an' nah, I don't... I don't play for cameras. Too dicy." she replies to him, giving a little bit of a laugh.

    She hasn't spotted Sam.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Likewise that he hasn't seen Sam either, Carson stomps hard and then leaps to flip clear over Alexis, leaning back to put his shoulders against hers, "I don't think so! I bet you're good!" grinning before he starts a series of tumbles, leaping to twist and tuck, a jack knife to sweep his legs higher into a backflip that immediately becomes a front flip to the side so that he lands in front of her.

"Do you run?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie sheds the mask gloves and over shirt in a trash can. He will come around the side of the building. He will try to wedge his way up front. He is not rude, but he does work on making progress up towards the two. He is wearing a lila t-shirt and maybe a bit under dressed for the weather but not to bad.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis gives a grin as the lad, seemlingly flirtacious, leans against her shoulders (though she's a good deal short!), and she gives a laugh, and she zips her guitar into a gig bag, and breathes out -- and without any physical warm-up she takes a running start, runs up a wall, grabs a ledge and swings herself up to it.

    "I mean, not as fancy or tricksy as you, but decent!"

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Hey! You want one of my tech crew to hold that and keep it safe?" Said even as he starts after, running up and then kicking off the wall to flip up and over, "And I'd say you've got a knack for it!" pushing off to grab at a mounted sign to swing around from and land on a window ledge, leaping up, grabbing the next and then hurling himself sideways to get ahold of a fire escape floor grill,

"I mean... before we really get runnin'?" the grin all teeth now.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie gets to where they were and sees them heading off away from where he is. He sighs a bit and watches the two, pondering what he wants to do. He could follow maybe cheat a bit to keep up, but no he is not going to draw that attention.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    The young woman gives a small grin, and just sits at the ledge, some folks cheering her and trying to get her to do more tricks as she pushe sherself up on the ledge, and looks down. Ten feet to the pavement, and she exhales, takes another breath -- and leaps! She moves with an easy sense of grace -- running isn't her primary athletic skill! -- but she manages to hop to the next building, and gives a slight, exhilerated laugh.

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Right! Guess not!" swinging up and hooking his heels up through the railing before he swings up again, curling up and over, scaling the building in jumps and raw hand over hand climbing to reach where Alexis has gone.

"See you're way better than you're letting on!" looking across the roof at the next building. "Top hopping? And I never got your name!"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will make his way towards the Van. He wants to try to listen in on the guys who are running the show down on this end of things. He will go so far as leaning on the van while "watching" if he can

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "I told you, Alexis!" the street performer replies as she pulls herself up to the roof, though she looks a little winded. "I probably should have agreed to have a gent watch my gig bag -- who knows what might happen to it--" she states, coming over the side and peering down as she holds a hand up to try and flag down someone -- and who's leaning against the van?

    "... oh bollocks." she mumbles.

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Sorry! I musta been too caught up. Pleasure t'meetcha Alexis!" stretching and slowly twisting and limbering up, "I can run it down if y-" he pauses at her declaration, moving up to stand at her side and look down at his van and the people near it.

"Yeah, man. Track- wait. No they're stopping again. Who is this girl?"
"I dunno but we'll need to make sure she signs a consent to let us use her image on screen, or we can blur her face if she wants."
"Already sent the print command, it's inside." The people working with Carson? Well they seem like run of the mill 'TV' crew as it seems.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks over to the men, and says "She is going to prefer the blur I am pretty sure, if you want to get it on the air quicker, I would suggest that." he will tell the men. He is happy to hear this as he does not need to find a way to subtely mess up their recordings. He keeps an eye on this but seems a bit relaxed now.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis looks down, and she bites her lower lip.

    "So, they can blur out my face, right?" she ventures, turning and looking to Carson, before looking back down to Sam, and she gives a bit of a sheepish wave. "Because I really shouldn't be out without my parents knowing."

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Oh! Yes, for sure. Don't worry. If you're under eighteen I'll make sure your face is blurred - I don't let minors make that decision, and I'm not about to chase after the fact for parental consents. Don't worry there miss." Thumbs hooking into his belt as he looks down below. "Protective brother? Uncle? Cousin?" he blinks and holds a hand to his ear,

"In a minute guys, jeeze!" looking up at one o the camera drones while, below, one of the guys by the van has started hassling Carson to put on a 'damn show already'.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks up, and offers her a smile, and a wave then a thumbs up, trying to let he know he has suggested the whole blurr to the guys on the ground. He pauses and starts looking around through the crowd looking for familiar faces.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Don't suppose you know a pas a deux, no?" Alexis jokes, and states, sheepishly "Guy who's seein' me."

    And then she turns, exhales and and takes off, running with that same sense of grace, a dancer's motion, arching her back slightly as she leaps over a small alleyway.

    "Haven't done this for a while! Little nervous with the cameras!"

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Don' be, they're not there!" he's alongside her, breath controlled, but he seems like he's less... exerted for the pirouetting flip made as he cleared the building. No look of a man showing off. But he definitely is enjoying the thrill of it.

"Hope I don't cause a fuss then! I'll keep out of your Dance for Two, eh?" he goes into a handspring, and then another, picking up speed. "Think you can make that next?" puffing out the word, but still with less difficulty one might expect.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie continues to scan the cloud, and nod seeing who he is looking for will look relieved. He will look back up and watch. jealous perhaps, but it was at least repressed while he was making sure things on the ground level was ok.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis is in prime physical shape -- for a human -- intense physical ballet and freerunning gyms will do that to you! but she gives a mirthful laugh as she tries to keep up with Carson, leaping and shoulder-rolling in the air over someone's skylight, rebounding off the edge of a raise in the roof before she makes her attempt and leaps, worn sneakers scraping at the concrete edge of the building!

Carson Deschain has posed:
Jogging after, his steps springing him forward, he leaps and actually shows the source of his logo as he stretches out, gloved hands planting and then springing off to hit a stone chimney, hard - and other flipping leap to the side of the building and he pushes off, whooping as he goes out into open air - headed for the next ledge over. Carson begins spinning as he goes.

"Oh come on dude, stop showin' off..." one of the camera guys laughs, steering the drone while the crowd below is oo'ing and cheering for the pair.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie watches them, and he is keeping his eyes more on the lady than the guy. He does step back a bit now, being up near the front will limit view, he wants to be able to seee as they move along, and such pulls back for a better angle.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Probably a lot of folks are watching the lady.

    Especially as she misjudged the distance, and she brings her arms forward, reaching for the ledge -- and falls just a few inches short!

    Her next attempt to stop her progress down is to grab onto another decorative ledge on her way down.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Seeing her fall Carson says a string of things that don't need to be bleeped thankfully. He's not mic'd But he tucks to make himself more dense, to begin to fall. Now they're both falling and people are calling out in alarm.

He plummets with intent to grab a ledge near, to get an arm around her as he plants his feet - his body already absorbing the impacts, arresting his fall, and if he can get under her he can arrest that energy too.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie is kicking in his own power before he really even thinks about it. Sam has been doing this for years, and with the start of the fall, the orange field is over him, and he is heading up to catch the woman. Sam is smart with his powers though, he is not heading full speed, no he is gauging his speed so as not to hurt her as he comes in contact with her.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    And Alexis is safely rescued by not one, but two mutant Gents.

    Oh, her father would have kittens.

    She gives a squeak as Carson catches against her, and she's momentarily pressed to the wall -- before the orange glow envelops the both of them, and she gives a squeal of alarm while trying to retain dignity after tumbling a few stories down and needing a significant amount of rescuing!

Carson Deschain has posed:
Holding with his fingers dug partially into the ledge, Carson tries his best to conceal that part, thankful for the toe shoes that let him move hid feet free as if they were bare - he's dug some of those into the wall on instinct to keep Alexis from tumbling

And then there's the Pas a Deux...

"Uh... Hi?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie has luckily learned to hover and he looks at Alexis "You ok, sorry I just decided to stop by, but seemed like a decent time for it." He looks over to Carson and nods in greeting "So, want me to set you on the wall, or head somewhere else?" he will ask Alexis

Alexis Carr has posed:
    This suddenly became a Pas a Trois.

    Alexis mutters above the roaring, pulling her hat down a moment with her free hand as she gives an exasperated sigh.

    "Sam, the next time I get excited about something, remind me it's a bad idea, yeah?" she states in that crisp British accent of hers. "Ah, Sam, Carson. Carson, Sam, now if one of you gents wouldn't mind giving a lady a hand to a flat surface?"

Carson Deschain has posed:
"I could, but I'm not gonna step on no toes, Sam. I shan't come between the gallant seeking to rescue his lady fair." Winking at the man. "I can get m'self up, or down, as needed." looking to Alexis, "An' don't get down on yourself. Fallin' is part of it. Especially when there's folks to catch you."

Not that he ever really did.

But then he doesn't have to worry about hitting the ground so much.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will left up to the nearest ledge preferable one where Alexis can get to an entrance to the building easily. "It takes a bit pf practice for most anything, just make sure if your practicing more than 2 or 3 floors up you let me know your there, and Ah will always be there to catch ya." He looks over to Carson and says "Ah will sav you have some amazing skills."

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Thanks Sam -- and thanks, Carson, this was a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind doing a lower-altitude run at some point." Alexis smiles, clasps Sam on the shoulder a moment, and eases herself into an office building's hallway to disappear and go sign release forms.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Scrabling up the wall like a monkey to get to the ledge and lift himself onto it, Carson waves to the cameras as if this was all part of the show. "Well, been runnin' for a lot of years, tell the truth. Since I was a good deal younger. It's fun. Never thought I'd make a career outta it, eh dude?" when Alexis starts to go, "Sure thing! Ask for a contact card, I'll run - cameras or no cameras for sure!" for the love of the 'sport'.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smiles and watches Alexis go, and says "It is an interesting way to make a living but if you can make a living in a way you love, more power to you.

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Truth is truth, dude." Carson chuckles, "To think I got a bachelor in physics, man..." leaning against the wall, "S'pose I should study for my masters... but I dunno eh?" looking down at the crowd while they watch the talking. "Don't worry, I'll block faces too, man. Keep your face out with all the powers n'stuff eh?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks over to the man "Thanks tried to keep my face away but it would be a good thing. School is a good path I am still doing it myself. Mind if I ask, this natural talent or a bit more?" He motions to the man's building and all.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Brow raising, with a considerable bit of trepidation crossing his features. "Well... I guess from a scientific viewpoint that my talents are a natural occurrence in nature - coupled with time spent in personal expansion... and examination." he looks to one of the drones and makes a chopping motion - all of them being piloted back to the Van now.

"That obvious?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to the man, and says "Well, Ah wonder about things at time, but well, Ah may have a bit more of a unique view point than others." He says as he hovers there.

Carson Deschain has posed:
"It's a lotta... application of force. Really." Carson frowns, looking down at the people. "Best to say - I can take a pretty healthy hit or two and keep takin' them as long as they keep coming." looking back to Sam, "You can fly... I took a punch from Power Girl... 'cause I asked her to."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Pretty sure I could if I am flying but not really looking to test it. If you want to learn more about how it works, let me have one of your cards, and I might be able to get ya to some experts.

Carson Deschain has posed:
Laughing, but not mockingly, "Man... why do you think I became a physicist...?" looking out at the horizon, pulling a card out of his pocket. "If you know a good geneticist I'd be happy to talk to them. Seeing as I seem to operate on Inverse Laws of Newton regarding force applied to force potential, dude."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie grins and says "I know some of the best." He will tell the man putting the card away and says "Ah will try to get back to ya soon as Ah can, probably should head out though gave ya a bad enough Rep chatting with ya probably."

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Hey... It's only... bein' that would hurt my career, thanks the Religious Reich." mouth in a hard line, "MonkeyBoy donated twenty K to Genosha Relief. We're publicly in support of aiding those attacked by the sentinels." Carson's eyes are back on Sam.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie says, "It is bad there." he says as if he has actually seen it "Not sure what is going to be the best way to help them sorta glad it aint my call to be honest.""

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Well, I was there, performin'. Was bad, man." Carson notes, "Were'n for the fact he wants to subjugate non-gifted - well I'd almost agree with that Magneto fellow." a hard line to his jaw, "I do agree with the need to be active though. Just not his methods."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods "Gotta find a way man and mutant can work together and share the world, we are all one people even if people don't want to admit it.

Carson Deschain has posed:
"Well, there's plenty of factors keeping that a problem. But there's not enough reason for it to likely see it in our time. People hate... people with more than what they have. Always will." Carson's brow knits and he shakes his head. "Unfortunate."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Don't even have to have more, just different is enough for a lot of folks

Carson Deschain has posed:
Carson Deschain nods and frowns, "Right. Well you talk to your folks... Maybe I'll come around. But I'll have to be a bit sneaky. It's dangerous out there..." a half smirk, "As you know." Giving a wave before he starts to run, kicking off enough to create small flashes in the ledge... cavitation bubbles from the pressure as he leaps to flip over the gap, and start on his path back to The Van.
