---

Madigan Belle has posed:
The darkness has come in much like the fog. Predictably. It's a harbor. What isn't predictable is the last boat shuttle across the harbor has already left. It is blowing its horn as it is departing the docks and a shuffling Madigan is moving as quickly as she can toward the end of this particular dock. "Noooooo, come on! I was like 5 minutes... late." She calls out into the night to no one in particular. Well, actually after the boat, but no one there is going to hear her nor do they come back.

Bringing her arms together, she ruffles her shoulders a little bit, and quirks her mouth to one side. "Hello? Somebody there?" Silence. A careful observer might notice a man off to the side in a black leather jacket and a cap. He waits an eerily long amount of time and then whistles. Madigan, looks around again, the fog is rolling in pretty thickly, "Hello? Sorry, I just missed the boat."

Then she starts to sway her leg brace supported hips, to start walking away. It'll take a lot longer, but she will need to call a taxi or Uber or something to get home at this point. She starts to shuffle, walk, her way and the sound of her crutch hits the ground making her walking rather distinct, even in the evening.

If anyone was observing from beyond, they would notice 2 other jacketed men. One of them laughs in the darkness, while the first still makes a long low then higher pitched whistle. Something you might hear in a horror movie. They are walking, they don't need to run, even at this pace they are quicker than Madigan. And no one's around to protect the red haired woman.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy is walking from extra dimensional bar to extra dimensional bar. There are bars between the cracks if you know where to look for them, and Hellboy does. He likes to Pub Crawl the Unknowable from time to time, about once every year or so and is immediately sober again due to supernatural recovery, letting out a nice BELCH in the shadows and sees, from much frather away where any normal human would see the young woman and hears the whistle. Yeah.

He's done this long enough to know when someone is in trouble, or soon to be. Maybe not, but why take the chance? Quickly, he checks his ammo, and then lopes, initially with a four legged run for a small movent and then a full out sprint in the shadows. He's not exactly quiet as the pier around him thuds on his massive weight but he keeps an eye out for WHATEVER it is that's about to attack it so he can shoot it.

Madigan Belle has posed:
Panting and coming to hide behind the corner of a building, Madi is struggling with her phone and trying to figure out if she has signal. She doesn't, but she looks around the corner to see ... yep, those men are shadows in the fog but they are getting closer. She can tell from the sound of the whistling.

As Hellboy comes jaunting onto the pier, he's still a bit off from where the men are. Though one of them turns with the loud sound, "What was that?" And another one chuckles, "It sounds like this girl's got a boyfriend." They can't see who it is yet, but two of the three are now turning their backs to the redhead and facing the direction of the loud thudding sound. Whoever that might be, and they start working their way back in the direction of Hellboy.

Each of them, including the third, stop for a moment and stick themselves with a needle. Their thumbs depressing their respective plungers. There's a pause, each of them in turn responds differently to the injection, but all of them seem to get that sparkle like they just took a shot from a really powerful drug. "Come out come out where ever you are." The first of the three, who was whistling, is still looking for Madi who's currently trying her best to hide in this open area.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy realizes they are human, and so slings his firearm back over his shoulder. Yeah, he has access to ICER ammo, but right now he has Cold Iron, Silver and Gold...not exactly something he can use on ..ok, he blinks as he sees them inject themselves, MAYBE a bit more than normal, still nothing he can't punch in the face. He leaps up into the air, trying to jump OVER them to put himself between the girl and them since engaging just one or two is a great way to make her a hostage.

Madigan Belle has posed:
As Hellboy goes leaping into the air, and jumping over the first two men. The third one has a better view of him and he runs, pounding the ground, and then jumps straight up in the air as well to try and interrupt the leaping demon-man. Whatever he looks like, this 'human' is capable of leaping into the air like any other super strong person. And he's barreling straight toward Hellboy. One of the other two look up, pointing, and they start making their way in the direction of where the leapers are likely to land.

Madi meanwhile, sees what is happening, and she lets out a scream, "Eeeaaaaaayhhhh!" Which is freakier? A demonic looking fella or some creepy leather jacket wearers chasing you down at the docks? For now, she's just screaming out either way.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy would normally be a bit of a nice mid air sitting duck for the super strong thug even if (he thinks) anyway that he is stronger than the guy, but Hellboy has two things on his side the thug likely doesnt grok. The first, is that he has a LOT of skill fighting for decades...and the second is one of his least used and most surprising weapons as he sends a spiked tail straight into the eye of the would be grabber and (if successful) lands on the other side and says, "Dont worry miss, I'll keep these weirdos away. You dial 911."

Madigan Belle has posed:
Hellboy has a third thing going for him. He is used to being super strong, being able to do these things. It seems like the guy is just about as surprised at the leaping as Hellboy is when... he's even more surprised. The tail comes stabbing him straight in the eye.

As Hellboy lands, the goon who was leaping, is now stabbed through the eye, gushing blood all over the docks, and no longer moving. When Madi looks up to see the tall, red skinned man with horns she blinks a few times. "I... can't. No signal?" She grimaces a little bit, and is breathing heavily as she looks to Hellboy. "Are... are, you one of the good guys?" She asks.

In the time it takes her to say things to you, another one of the goons is coming closer. He lets out a big shout as he starts to build up speed. He is just running, perhaps another super strong person? The last goon stops, and looks around. He rubs his fingers together, and then his hands. He spreads his arms out and concentrates, some trash cans start to shake, then rip up off the ground and start flying toward Hellboy.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy is used to multitasking, and experience shows. He's fought speedsters(?) before and even been drinking buddies with one. He loves to read old books and in this case, he remembers "A body at rest tends to stay at rest...a body in motion..."

These guys clearly don't understand their powers. It's going to require careful timing but he does note that they are coming for HIM rather than the girl which makes him a little more cautious but only just. He reaches into his jacket and tosses his badge, "Sure am Miss, Hellboy, agent of W.A.N.D." Its not like he doesn't have to do that a lot, though given his fame, he is pleased someone DOESNT recognize him.

Its careful timing but he tries (and mayhap succeeds) at charging INTO the trash can and redirecting its momentum right into the would be speedster.

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Oh? A... uh, law enforcement? Wow. I didn't know, they came in... red." Madi says and then smacks herself in the head, "Oh my god. That was terribly lame. I'm sorr-" And Hellboy is turning and charging into the attack that is coming his way. The guy building up speed was coming straight towards the big fella, but really, he had a different plan. Too bad he's not exactly able to initiate it.

It is clear he doesn't have a handle on his speed just yet, as he's suddenly charged, he tries to re-direct himself, and turns, but not soon enough as one of the trash cans comes flying in his direction. He gets hit and goes tumbling with the trash can itself, a good 40 feet with his momentum.

The telekinetic seems a bit more accustomed to the powers than the others. He concentrates, tenses, clearly lets out a groan as a nearby row boat raises up out of the bay. Water dripping off of it, and then he brings his hands together before separating them, and the boat breaks apart into a series of sharp stakes. "Alright mister. Lay down or be taken down."

Any move on Hellboy's part, and there will be a rain of wooden weapons sent his way.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy unslings his boomstick, "Row," he shoots a solid cold iron shot at the boat. It might not be explosive but at this range it is VERY likely to splinter and he will fire another shot at as many of the wood as he can. TK Thug might be more experience, but Hellboy is....unkillable. "Row...Row your boat..." he chuckles and gives a back handed thumbs up to Madigan, indicating she is fine on her part.

Madigan Belle has posed:
The speedster groans, and then sees that his buddy is in trouble. He gets up and zips over to him, grabbing him before zipping off again. It's fast, and there's a loud painful groan that happens from the TKer when he's picked up. Yes. Super speed does not grant any particular benefits to people being protected from extreme Gs. At least not this speedster. And they are off, leaving their fallen comrade behind.

Madigan looks around, peering out from behind the building and then, looks around some more. She starts to hobble her way out and she looks down at the dead guy before looking back up to the tailed man, "Wow. You ... saved me! Thank you, thank you, so much. Uh... officer..."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy is a bit surprised it was that easy. Technically, he's taken on a dozen goons at once, but powered goons are still powered goons. The whole thing is...weird. But he chills. He turns around to Madigan and beams, "It was nothing. You OK miss...."? He didnt exactly have a name.

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Me? Yeah. I seem to be fine, thanks to you." Madigan says and she smiles, then offers a big grin. "Oh, Madigan. Madi." She offers and is looking right up at him, "That was really scary. I mean, but you got them. Criminals just lingering around like that..." She shakes her head a bit, "I could've been killed, or worse. Had my skin flayed off and sacrificed to aliens." Giving a bit of a shrug she asks, "Would it be terribly against the rules, if I like, paid you back? I mean, do you eat, like normal food? Or weird foods? I'd love to repay you for saving me. But... I'm not entirely sure what it is you eat ... or drink, if you do at all?"

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy nods, "Pleasure to meet you Madi." He extends his hand looking to shake it. "Please to meet you." He chuckles, "Well I would try to reassure you but I've literally seen all of those things tried and stopped them so I can't say it wasn't a possiblity, though while whoever crafted these drugs knew their stuff, the users...not so much. 2nd tier thugs at best. Sorely lacking in training which is fortunate all around Is ay. And its a gray area on paying me back. For regular S.H.I.E.L.D, its a definite nono, but W.A.N.D...has to deal with grey areas, so I'd be delighted if you treated me to normal, or weird food. Very little I can't eat if I have a mind to. Drinking is also good though I get undrunk psycho fast.

Madigan Belle has posed:
"SHIELD? Isn't that like, the, people who help defend against ... like, crazy weird threats?" Madi questions, curious about that, and then she shakes her head, "Oh, no no, you can wait to explain until we find someplace not so cold. I know I saw a little pub nearby when I was walking this way. I'll have to find a place to stay here on this side of the bay till tomorrow, or take a 3 hour car ride home. And I get pretty hungry." SHe nods her head and then smirks a bit, "Well, undrunk doesn't sound as much fun as drunk drunk. But, whatever works for you. Are... you going to be okay, in like a pub? Just a pub? I mean, I don't want to make you feel awkward. Not that you should, people are so weird when it comes to how others look. And you'll have to tell me about this WAND as well, that I don't think I've heard of outside of Harry Potter."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "Oh, if I drink enough and KEEP drinking, I can get drunk for a while, it just takes...MORE" he chuckles, "and yes, I heal insanely fast and they didn't get a solid blow. They came really close though. Yeah, S.H.I.E.L.D. does deal in weird stuff and W.A.N.D. is a subdivision that deals in weird magic stuff, so its weird on top of weird" he chuckles, "By all means, lead away to the pub you saw." He hands her the crutch that she dropped. He is quite relaxed, "And I can tell you a lot, since we're not as 'covert' as we were, tons of magical things are real, most of it. Hell, in the vast multiverse and cosmos, I reckon everything is real somewhere"

Madigan Belle has posed:
There's a few nods, as Madi looks on, her eyes a bit wide still as you just open up about supernatural and powered stuff. She wonders, "Well, thank you for saving me Officer. It is the least I can do, to get you some drinks. And food." And she starts walking, she goes slower than most people, but good thing this place is only a block away once out of the dock area. She is moving in that direction, "So, magical things? I'm studying science-y stuff, so it sometimes is hard for me to wrap my brain about magic stuff. Like, what would be an example of a magical thing? Is this like witches, vampires and demons and things?" She chuckles a bit, shaking her head, grinning wide, "Cause. I mean. I've seen a lot of anime with that stuff in it, but in real life? I know there's powered people, doing weird things, but can we really call it magic?" Quirking her mouth to the side as she keeps moving.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "I have a lot of really good science-y friends, including some weird magicky sciency friends. I've also punched a lot of evil sciency people so small world" he beams, "and yes, magical things are totes real. Also please, call me Hellboy, Officer sounds like I'm some kind of.....cop...or something." Technically that was true but he wasn't exactly a beat cop. This was his LIFE not so much his profession. "Witches, check. Vampires. Check. Demons, check. Fairies. Check. Ghosts. Check. Werewolves. Check. Mummies. Checkeroonie. Anime, giant robots, well, I mean, hell in this city you see one walking downtown every few months nes pa? And yes, you can really call it magic, whole varieties actually as many different KINDS of magic as there are kinds of science."

Madigan Belle has posed:
Getting to the pub, Madi looks over Hellboy again and then smiles, opening up the door. "Okay." And she blinks a few times, going inside, and shaking her head a little bit at the idea of all these things being real. The pub is mostly a seat yourself and they'll be over when they are ready, kind of place, so Madi is just heading to a booth, "I figure a booth? Right? I mean, you'd probably break a chair. Not, saying that you are, fat, just assuming, you are like super dense." A pause, and her eyes get wide, "Oh my god. I didn't mean, like, dense, like dumb, I meant, dense like ... super durable? You look kind of durable-y. So, I am just assuming. It seams everyone is super durable these days, except us wee-little folk." Once to the table though, she's leaning forward on it. Her crutch is to the side and backpack to the other side, "So, like, for reals for reals. Demons, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, all that stuff? Giant robots, easy to comprehend. But, wooooow. Have -you- ever met a demon?"

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy tries to open the door FOR her but isn't going to be stupid about it and lets her open it when she gets there first. HE follows chuckles, "I can't say that I've never broken a chair. Booths are better yes." He follows and ssmiles, "You are fine, I am super durable yes. Not indestructable, I can bleed but I am...tough as nails. It's good since I'm usually the beatstick on teams dealing with random magical things." He sits down in the booth across from here. "I....er...yes, have met demons..." he trails off, this line of questioning the first awkward bit for him. "There are many many many kinds of demons."

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Wow. I'd totally love to meet a demon in real life. I mean, I play them in some video games." Madi mentions as she rattles off some interest. "You've met some though? That's got to be terribly interesting. Beatstick? Like, oh, I get it. You take the beatings. You must be -super- tough then, tougher than nails. Right? Like, that's not even that tough, just a little heating and you can bend nails." Quirking her mouth back and forth, she reaches to the side of the table, pulling out a menu and sliding it over to Hellboy, and then taking one herself, "Do you like demons? Vampires? Fairies, which ones are the best?" Looking up and curiously waiting for the answer. Though her head tilts to the side a bit, eyes squinting some, "You know. You kind of look ... like -you- could be some kind of magical person. I mean, you're red, strong looking, you said durable. But, I've seen a lot of metas on the news, and you all come in all sorts of varieties. I think it's great, variety is amazing in living organisms. Order whatever you want. My life is worth it."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "I have been CALLED a demon by some magical taxonimists....its kind of...dark" he shrugs and orders a bottle of whiskey. "Yeah, I punch and shoot things that goo bumb in the night. I am....somewhat tough" he smiles and shrugs. "I have taken a lot of beatings. I like some and dislike some demons, vampires and fairies. I'll take a vampire any day of the week, most have specific rules. Demons usually have an agenda even when you can like them, and many of them as a rule are dark for humans. Fairies? Let me tell you, SOME fairies are awesome MOST of them make up the rules as they go along or have rules so weird you better do your homework" he shuggers. "I am..magical...by some accounts, but I dont actually like er...cast spells, I mean I can do rituals but I'm no mage. I do the kind that most anyone can."

Madigan Belle has posed:
There's a sad look to her face, as she frowns, it is very poutish a bit beyond normal expressiveness, "I'm so sorry for you." Madigan says and shakes her head, then beams a smile, "Though it sounds like you do well at your job. I'm sorry people call you a demon. You don't have the..." She reaches up to her head as she's looking at your head a bit more, "Hmmm. I mean, you have the beginnings of, but not really. And you seem nice. It sounds like you know a ton about all of these things, though, wandering around. I thought I had a handle on the extremes, you know, with the news always being so enamored by super people." She takes in a breath and lets it out with her lips coming together and rising up a bit, targeting her hair that flutters from her emphasized exhale. "So, if you are super tough. What's like, the biggest baddest thing you've been hit with? I get a cat jumping on me wrong and I bruise." She laughs at that, a little, and smiles big.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy seems to enjoy the empathy. He doesnt get a lot of it really and smiles, "WEll I appreciate that." He has a shot and then another. IT takes a lot to work. "Yeah, I am good at my job, kind of insane at it really." He slams and nods. "Nice? That is DEFINITELY a word people dont use for me a lot" he hcuckles, "And the news isn't as KIND to W.A.N.D but we try to still stay out of the spotlight. It's random on me, sometimes heroic, sometimes 'demon smashes shopping mall' HE shrugs. He seems to enjoy the movement of her lips and hair and breath, "Um....worst thingI've been hit with?" He thinks, "Probably the spear of destiny. That can kill almost anything and damn near killed me. And please try to avoid errant cats." His eyes twinkle.

Madigan Belle has posed:
A bit of a shrug, and Madi nods her head, "Well, the Spear of Destiny sounds like it would hurt anyone." She teases, and shakes her head some, "I feel safe, with you around. Thanks. Someone strong, and tough, like you, who can 'undrunk' himself whenever he needs. I mean, that's got to count for something." And she scoffs at the idea of the mall news, "Really? I mean, if you looked like a boring regular human, you know what? The news wouldn't say those things. You think when Superman goes blowing things up, that he gets bad press? Noooooooo. It's all about him saving the world, -again-. Lame. He's just a guy in a blue pajamas. That is -not- very manly. You know? He gets a pass though, the media is really Sups friendly. And anyone who looks like him. Even the Avengers, they must've damaged nearly as much of New York City as anyone. But they're like Justin Bieber showing up, crowds of screaming swooning fans." She huffs, taking in a quick breath, and letting it out, its enough to cause her shoulders to rise and slump a bit. "Want a pastie?" She wonders, out of the blue, "I'm a lil' hungry, to say the least. Must've been all the adrenaline."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy chuckles, "I recover quickly but its not like I've never gone an a drunken bender especially if it is enchanted," he smiles and has another shot relaxing and leaning in a bit smiled, "Happy to make you feel safe" he nods and has another shot. "Superman is...well, superman and doesnt look like me" he chuckles, "But I appreciate the sympathy." He chuckles, "The avengers and the justice league do damage but think of how much damage would be done if they DIDN'T" he shrugs, "same thing with me." He has, in fact, saved the world a lot and seems to enjoy the rising and falling. "Pastie sounds great. And yeah, I eat a ton so sandwiches or pasties also sound good."

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Well, pasties are a little different from a sandwich. It's like the calzone of meat pies, with potatoes and rutabagas." Madi offers as she looks across the table, and smiles, "You probably want to use a fork, maybe a knife, to eat it. It'll just fall apart in the crust if you try and use your hands. Though they -are- super good." Then she ohs and shakes her head a bit, making her hair kind of bounce about, "Oh, uh, I didn't mean to say like, you all shouldn't be saving the world. I'm just saying, that I agree with you. If you -hadn't- of destroyed that mall, then think of all the problems that'd of happened?" Her eyes get wide, and she gasps a bit, then lets her eyes calm down before she mentions, "It's just, it sounds like they think of you as a monster. Them as saviors. And that's just wrong. You are -my- savior. And that's all I care about. You're my fav now, best meta out there."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy nods and leans forward, hand under his chin smiling, enjoying the praise. He really doesnt get it like this and enjoy it. "Not a meta, no meta gene, though I am a variant of my demon kind. Sort of a key to doom really..." he shrugs and says, "Well, if the wrong people get me to do the wrong thing. That's also a reason I'm not as popular as superman since I doubt he is going to end the world eventually" he smiles and shrugs, "And yes, let us apply fork and knive and surgically devour pasties" he chuckles. "Well, I..." he swallows some more booze. People just don't call HIM their savoir. "Shucks."

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Oh?" Madi's brow sort of scrunches up as she listens to you talk about the doom thing. And she quirks her mouth to the side, and leans forward a bit, looking around, "Doom? Wowzers. That makes you super special. Even more so, like, you are still out there saving people even with the risk." Madi's eyes get wider and she nods her head some, frowning still, "I mean, if I had the ability, I'd definitely stop the wrong people from getting you. I kind of like being in a state of non-doom. Though, you are a demon? That's hot." She grins, and sticks out her tongue a moment, biting the tip before adding, "Get it? Cause, demons, fire. Oh my god, you've probably heard that like a million times. Sorry." She laughs softly and sighs it out. Waving over at someone, she gets them to show up and she orders 4 of the cornish pasties, and another bottle of whiskey for Hellboy. She also orders some Blackberry Cakes, cause, you can't go wrong with desserts.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy blinks at the turn about and squirms a bit but smiles, "Well, glad you find demons hot. Hot, demon get it?" He laughs nervously and smiles sticking his own out back, "Yeah you did the joke firs tand me repeating it was lame. I have heard it alot yet but I dont usually get it in QUITE that context." Sure there was the whole set that ENJOYED that sort of thing but they typically went for devils more than demons. He starts into the 2nd bottle of whiskey and devouring the food, "This is really good

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Are devils like, better than demons?" Madigan asks as she's a bit confused, "I mean, cause, then I might need to go get rescued by a devil. Not sure that'd actually happen. It doesn't sound... like it would. Just from what I peripherally know of the bible." She shrugs at that, and then smiles again, "Besides. What you did with your tail, was way cool. And the jumping around, and standing up to those super thugs, whoever they were. Like, I'm totally impressed. When you are done eating, do you think you could walk me to ..." She pulls up her phone and holds it out with an address on it, "Here? I just, its like a few blocks away, but you know. Now that I've been attacked once tonight, little worried I could be again." And she grabs up a fork and starts to eat some of the pasties that shows up, and eyes those blueberry cakes that come out soon after.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "No, its just that the whole Lawful Evil thing is just..." he shrugs, "You get those who want incubi or succubi and then devils, its ...I dunno" he shrugs, it is not, to be honest an area of the occult he has er...studied in super detail. "The bible is a lot different than people think, both what is in there and some of the things in that...well, lets just say Angels are also a thing. Some are good, some are....judgy. And I did enjoy that thing with the tail" he beams, eats a fork full of pastie and washes it down with whiskey. "Dont mind escorting you there." He has more."

Madigan Belle has posed:
Listening intently about all the details on devils, and the lawful evil comment, she grins big and points at Hellboy. "You've played D&D! Oh my god. I love roleplaying games. Tabletop stuff, anything. I especially like video games, but that's cause people don't often want to roleplay with me." She shakes her head, and her eyes stay wide open, "Do you have like a group? Or anything? I mean, like, I'd totally be willing to play. I even would do LARPing, but I like... you know, it is kind of tough when you can't walk. The Leg braces sort of break the mood of a sultry sorceress or mysterious rogue. You know?" Completely derailed from the actual talk of demons and devils.

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "I have played a few paper roleplaying games. Some time I'll tell you about the time I saved Gary Gygax from the cultists who thought the Chick track was real" he chuckls, "I'm more a fan of the original AD&D and the OSRIC clones though...but Il ike how popular fith eidition is. I do lots of video games yes. Doom is hilarious. I dont have a group any more but it sounds like a neat idea...LARPING that...is hard" he looks down at himself, "I'm a demon 24/7" he chucklesand has more and nods about the walking. "I do in fact know."

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Uh, seriously? You could be the Tiefling. Anything. Like barbarian or fighter, or even wizard. You can be like any class with that, these days. No real negatives. I know the old editions, but I find that people find it easier to get into the newer things. I've read it all though, lots of ... free time? And I'm a pretty quick reader. You know, got an additional pair of eyes to read with." She makes a glasses wearing joke, and smiles big at that, "Well, yeah. So, outside of saving people, and being a badass, what do -you- like to do? I can't imagine you like boring things. You don't seem boring -at all-."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy has more whiskey and shrugs, "You know....now that you put it like that, maybe." He smiles, "Being a wizard or a rogue would be cool. Fighter...not so much, that would be like roleplaying an acountant if you were one." He nods, "Free time is good." He has more food and leans forward listening. "I read a ton. Watch TV. Find new ways to kill things. Movies. Explore. You?

Madigan Belle has posed:
Taking in a deep breath and pulling her shoulders in, Madi's hands kind of disappear under the table and rest on her knees. She looks even a bit smaller than normal as she looks up toward the ceiling, thinking, and then looks back to Hellboy, "I do a lot of school work. I go to Columbia University, and I play a lot of Nintendo Switch. Mostly Smash. I watch horror movies, the more gory they are, the better, I particularly like zombie films because of that. I feel like I'd just be one of the first to go in a zombie apocalypse, but who knows? Right? I eat, do work, I'm a chemist for my family's business. Pharmaceuticals distribution. You know, boring lab work, type stuff." She quirks her mouth back and forth, enough to make her nose wiggle, as she thinks, "Mmmmmmh. Nothing else, really. I apparently wander around places I shouldn't, often late at night. It's kind of a bad habit."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "I do love horror, especially bad campy horror like Army of Darkness despite living it daily, I guess because its like watching a police procedural about how it most definitely isn't you know what I mean?" He chuckls and nods, "Popcorn and Netflix is the best. I like any movie except ghosts...just.." he shudders, "Not afraid of them but the suspension of disbelief is just not happening for me. Chemistry? Cool." He totally doesnt make the connection between powered syrums and powered thugs. "There is good money in it. Do you think those guys might have been from a competitor or something?" He wipes his chin with his napkin to remove some pastie that stuck there. "Wandering and exploring is fun, its what I was doing before I saw you"

"That's a good question." Madi states as she hrms, and nods her head, "It is possible. Though, these days, anything is possible. Powers are like, all over the place, ya know?" She offers a bit of a shrug, and then adds with a big smile, "Army of Darkness is -pretty cool-. Old, but cool. I can't really get into ghost stories, it is just ... predictable. And I'm like, really? Either you can't hurt ghosts or you can, and that's that. Then, like, people are dying but they usually are still whole. I want to see dismemberment, damnit. If I'm going to spend money on a movie, or subscription, there better be lots of blood everywhere. Am I right?" She seems to take this pretty seriously the way her brow furrows a bit, intensely lets her eyes close a bit, and her big bright smile gets comically serious with her lips pursed.

Hellboy says, "oh you can totally hurt ghosts, lots of different ways. You just have to know what you're doing, no I just don't like ghost stories since...bad mojo." Again, he shudders. "And dismemberment, especially back before they CGI it can be cool. Hell, if the guy is a jerk it can be..er...yes, its fun in a movie." He does not go there. "And you are right about subscriptions." He smiles at her smile"

Eyes getting bigger, Madi smiles a bit, "You weren't going to say in a movie. You were going to say, that it is fun." She chuckles and shakes her head, "It is okay. I have a dark, like, funny side. I might look all clean and proper, and whatever, but I mean, I dig like serial killers, and stuff. You know, stories, about them, and their kills." She offers at the end before questioning, "So like, you can tell me what's fun. Even if it isn't like... good, for most people to hear. It won't make me upset or queasy. I might get more hungry though. Not sure why that happens, but like even morgue shows, when they do autopsies and whatnot, I get super hungry."

Hellboy has posed:
Hellboy says, "Sometimes bad guys are bad. And if they like to eat people its hard not to enjoy my job," he chuckles, "I'm not a fan of serial killers to be honest, kind of lame, and taken a few of them out. I feel sorry for them actually, broken inside. I mean, they can't feel things we can...just..wrong. And I am kinda lame when it comes to the darker side of things. I've got friends that are into really dark stuff, but the nerdy stuff or the partying is more my forte. I'm actually very young for my species. Morgue shows, now those can get interesting."

Madigan Belle has posed:
"Oh, well, I kind of meant. That serial killers often do pretty inventive things with their victims. Not that they were, you know, anything less than wrong in the head." Madi lets out a little chuckle on that, and then shrugs her shoulders, "Like, there was this guy who liked to cut off the faces of people and wear them. I mean, who doesn't realize that's just a skin mask? It seems like it'd be super obvious, but he went to like grocery stores and stuff for years like that. And people were just like, what? Oh, this guy is celebrating halloween in an awkward time?" Taking in a deep breath, and shaking her head again, she scoffs at the idea, "People are lame. Whaaaaat? You, lame? Never! I mean, look at you. Bustling with -my- interest at least. I bet you like all kinds of creepy weird things. And you may not even think they are that creepy. Ya know? Partying can be fun, it just... like, the club for me would be pretty sad. I can sway my arms and whatever, but eventually that gets lame. I have a clubby dress, but it sort of feels like a thick trash bag. It's cute, or whatever, but it is way hard to get into. People don't think things take your legs, lemme tell ya, there's a lot of stuff that takes using your legs. Even rotating on a stool. Seems fun and easy, so hard."
