Location: Angelo's Pizza
Synopsis: No description
Cast of Characters: Blackagar Boltagon, Kaida Connolly




Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
The city of New York was quite substantial, certainly so for Blackagar as he walked the streets taking in various sights and sounds, but it was approaching a meal time and after inquiring through his writing and sign language for an ideal place to eat, several locals of the area had directed him to Angelo's Pizza. So that is where the man had arrived, standing tall with his dark hair and blue eyes gazing over the menu on the wall, furrowed brow attempting to decipher what it was he was looking at. By this point he had allowed several others to go in front of him out of politeness as he struggled to comprehend, looking for all the world like a stranger in a strange land.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
Then there's the quietest of humming going on while people busily look at menus, order, and the like. The humming might be familiar to most (though not all) as it is the Super Mario theme. The small mouse making the humming is behind the scenes, so to speak. She's heading for the orders that are being put out, looking over the choices that haven't been bussed out to people while staying quietly to the side and over it on a small lip. She's using a simple technique of blending in with the scenery. She then picks out a slice of pepperoni and suddenly zips off in a burst of speed to stop by the slice, snatches up the plate and then rushes off. Keen eyed observers might spot the moving plate as she leaps off the side and runs for cover under a table.

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar almost misses the movement, uncertain he even saw what he believed he saw amongst the activity of the Pizza place. However, he does end up retracing the movements he witnessed mentally and a frown spreads on the mans' face. Walking calmly, he goes to follow where he saw the moving plate to a nearby table where he sits down in a chair and peeks his head underneath. A blink of his blue eyes and he offers a smile, a slow wave of greeting with his hand but no words are spoken. Instead he points at the slice of pizza that was taken and lifts an eyebrow in a questioning expression.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
Under the table, the little mouse girl stands up straight and places her right hand upon the hilt before looking to the pizza. She then moves in a quick blur and flicks her blade to the side, sending a tiny splatter of pizza sauce to the side. Then the pizza slice is once more sliced. She then slides the blade away and one of her ears turns like a satelite dish and flicks slightly. She looks up to see Blackagar sit down and she immediately snatches up a piece of a piece of pizza and devours it (in the even that she has to run and gets nothing more than that). SHe then blinks at his response of a smile and a wave.

"Hi." She states simply and looks at the pizza and then looks up to the strangely dressed man, "Umm, did...you want some?" She tilts her head.

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar looks at the mouse girl who is speaking, not with surprise or shock. Not even with curiousity really, but more of friendliness. He considers and then nods his head and reaches to his hip where he pulls out a small slate board and some chalk from a pocket where he begins to write. ~I would like some. Come join me up here? I see bigger types of this food but do not understand it. I need help.~

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A tilt of her head at the slate board and she huhs, "Oh, you can't talk." She nods her head, "Sure, I can help but," She pauses and shifts slightly, "If people get up set you're gonna have to deal with that. People don't like mice." She states and then oofs as she pushes a chair out by the leg and then grabs the plate. She leaps to the chair and carefully pushes the plate on to the table before hopping after it. She then walks over to a standee in the middle of the table and pulls forth a menu and flips it open above her head and slaps it down on to the table, "There you are!" She points at the 'Build Your Own' section and nods, "You start here."

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar nods his head towards the Mouse Girl when she understands that he can't speak. A smile comes ot his lips and he is erasing his slate board while she gets settled. ~I am not worried about others. I am Blackagar. What are good Toppings that we should have?~ The words are scrawled out in fine handwriting as he looks at Kaida with expectant eyes. Other patrons may look at the table with the oddly dressed man and now a 'mouse' on the table, but his expression towards them is one of dismissal, instead his focus is on Kaida. Allowing some time for his first messages to be read, he erases those as well and adds ~The largest size would be best?~

Kaida Connolly has posed:
"The largest size is always best and I prefer the meats!" She chuckles and points at a particular pizza off to the side, "It has all the meats on it." She nods and grins, "Bacon, Pepperoni, Beef, and sausage!" She taps it and then looks to him and grins wide, "Very filling but," She tilts her head, "Do you like that sort of thing? I should have asked I suppose." She then walks back over and grabs up another slize of her slice of pizza, "You might be a vegetarian."

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar's brow furrows and he shakes his head with a grin. The terminology takes a moment but he puts it together and writes on his slate ~No, I do not eat just the vegetables. This one then?~ he inquires and then upon getting approval, rises to head to the counter to place the order. He may cut off a few people in line but apologetic smiles are given to them and when all is done he returns to the table and Kaida. Settling back down but with two bottles of Coke in his hands, one set down in front of her and one for him. He writes quickly as he does ~Someone I met in another city told me to drink this. It is a Coke Of Cola and I find it amazing. What is your name?~

Kaida Connolly has posed:
"That's good. Not sure how I'd handle a vegetarian who can't speak. You might explode." She laughs at her own joke but then lets him go order before she settles down for her own food. She rubs her hands together and then begins to consume. By the time he is back, she's easily taken down the majority of the slice with little explanation to where it has all gone. She then blinks up at him.

"Oh! Right, I'm Kaida!" She nods her head and grins, "I'm a heroine and such. Coke is pretty good but don't drink too much."

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
The man's eyes widen, that seems to surprise him, moreso than anything else he's encountered and he writes quickly. ~A heroine? I know many people who are strong, regardless of size. Tell me of your adventures?~ Blackagar must be making fun of her, but nothing about his expression would indicate that. If anything he looks very interested and almost excited as he sips his coke. After waiting a bit, he adds to his own writing. ~I am a hero to my people as well.~

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A blink at him and she's unclear if he's being condescending or not. She stands up straighter and looks at him carefully, "Well, my greatest feat was taking on Doctor Doom!" She nods again before clearing her throat, "Well, one of his robots or something but it was like him." She nods her head and then shrugs before looking over at the counter a moment and then back to him, "And I've beaten up some thugs to save some people here and there. I'd really say the Doom thing was the biggest." She then smiles and nods her head as she carefully tilts the coke and stands on tip toes to sip at it before she pushes it back up.

"I mean, I haven't really been at this for very long and such but I have met a few heroes and such and I once invaded the Hellfire Club!" SHe nods and points at him, "And for my endeavors they put me on a pedestal!"

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar smiles at the story, there really is no look of judgment, but rather admiration. As the pizza arrives, he starts writing quickly on his slate. ~One of my teachers said that any who put others before themselves is a hero, no matter the fight they take on.~ He shows it to Kaida and then erases it so he has room to write more. ~My dearest friend looks like what you would call a dog. Some would judge him for that. I do not. Nor do I just any based on what is on their exterior. Only what is within their heart.~ Again, it is difficult to express sincerity through writing, so Blackagar does it with expression of his face.

Settling his slate down, he begins to eat some of the pizza, tentatively at first before consuming more rapidly. ~This is the first pizza I have had.~ he writes in between bites. ~Your suggestion was worthy.~

Kaida Connolly has posed:
"A dog?" She asks and tilts her head before she grabs a slice of pizza and moves it over to her plate pretty easily despite her size. SHe then flops down and listens to him before nodding, "WEll, does sound like me!" She grins and nods, "And of course my suggestion was worthy!" She giggles, "I know pizza!" She then takes a bite of pepperoni and pulls it in before nodding to her. She then looks at the people passing by briefly before considering.

"So, uh, you have a dog friend and don't know pizza so where ya from then?" She asks and tilts her head, "I mean, people around here do have dog friends but I don't think you mean the same thing. Plus, everyone on Earth knows pizza so, yeah." She shrugs and gestures, "You aren't from around here obviously."

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar smiles softly and begins writing on his slate, turning it to Kaida when he's done. But it takes some time for him to do it since there's quite a few words. When he's done, he begins on his second slice of pizza because the first was so easily consumed.

'I am from a city that is far away. We visit here, to the rest of you, once every few hundred years to see the progress you have made. To determine if we wish to join you.'

The man watches Kaida for a reaction as he eats, waiting to see how she may respond to the somewhat vague answer. Reaching down, he scrawls a bit more writing after a moment. 'That is why I am here. I am evaluating all I meet to determine if this world is worth being with again.'

Kaida Connolly has posed:
Idly eating her food, she looks at the slate as he scrawls. he hmms and nods her head a little before she gestures to the pizza, "This should be reason enough to join us." She chuckles and then tilts her head, "Though, that is pretty cool." She nods her head and stands up and walks over to Blackagar and offers out a small fist, "Then as a respresentative of society at large or America or Earth, whatever it is that you are new to, welcome!" She nods her head and holds up the tiny fist, waiting for him to return.

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
'You are a fine representative of your society' the man writes, before adding. 'But is not some of this society rather unforgiving to those who are not like the others?' His blue eyes take over the mouse-girl, smiling as he offers an apologetic shrug for the sentiment. Then, looking at the small fist, Blackagar considers it then makes a mirrored gesture to her, lifting his own fist up.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
With relative ease, she leaps up and slams her fist into his. It might seem like a fairly impressive fist bump for one her size. She's stronger than she looks. Well, for her size anyway. Once she lands she nods and shrugs, "There's always people in every society who dislike others within it. The more people you have around, the more disagreements and the more likely it is that someone will blame everyone of a grouip." She chuckles and shrugs.

"It's super sad but sometimes people are just terrible." She looks at him with a smile, "It's what society as a whole does in response that matters and moves us forward." She then settles back into her spot and scarfs down another piece of pizza nodding her head.

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
There's a smile at the fist bump from Kaida, Blackagar filing it away under something 'new' to remember for the future. When she speaks, he eats putting away another slice of pizza. Then he begins to write when she finishes to let her eat, falling into the sequence. 'Where I am from, not all get along. We are an old society and there are movements to change the way we have done things. It is a difficult time but it is necessary. I believe you would call it growing pains'. He turns and shows it to her. Then he takes a good drink of his coke before getting ready to write a little bit more.

'I am the leader of my people. There is tension between those of power and those that aren't. And I respect their frustrations. So perhaps I should not judge your world when ours has issues as well?'

Kaida Connolly has posed:
"All societies have issues. There's always someone who thinks they can do better. Usually out of ignorance on one side or another." She shrugs and scarfs down another piece of pizza. She's efficiently packing away those small pieces and where they go in that tiny body is anyone's guess but she does it all the same. She rolls up to her feet rather easily though and gestures to him.

"Leader huh? I'm not sure I can understand how rough that is but you at least seem to get that you owe it to your people to do the right thing." Kaida smiles and nods to him, "It's kinda hard for people with power to get that all the time. You don't exactly own your life when you got responsibilities." She shakes her head, "I get that part at least as a heroine and symbol of peace, such as I am."

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
Blackagar nods and manages a somber smile towards Kaida as he finishes his coke and then writes after doing so. 'It is an obligation I carry by duty. That is why I am hesitatnt to bring my people to knowledge of this world. So many here would seek power for the sake of power. At least from what I've seen'. Then he smiles further at Kaida and writes, 'But there are also people here I have met who hold the highest regard and honor. I have seen selfless giving.'

He picks up another slice of pizza, taking a few bites from it and considers Kaida with a blush touching his cheeks. 'The powerful owe it to the less powerful to treat them with respect and kindness at all times.'

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A grin and she nods to him, "Yep! That's my policy!" She pumps a fist, "A good one at that. You got the strength to help then you should use it or at the least not use it for evil." She shrugs and nods, "I just think people should help each other, ya know?" She then grabs the edge of another slice of pizza and drags it easily on to her plate before slicing off another smaller piece.

"I actually was gonna do some pretty cool stuff, still might even, with science." She nods and looks to Blackagar with a grin, "Just bein' tiny kinda slowed down the process." She then pauses and looks at him, "Ya know, ya asked me for my name but I didn't get yours." She shakes her head, "What do I call ya?"

Blackagar Boltagon has posed:
'Blackagar' the man writes on the slate, showing it to her and then adding to it. 'Perhaps one day soon, should I reveal my people to this world in full, you can join us in your science pursuits. We do not judge capability based on appearance, only on merit.'

Picking up his beverage, he sips it until it rattles empty and then smiles at Kaida. 'I have enjoyed this. Perhaps we do it again? For now, I must journey on.' He offers an apologetic smile and reaches to his pocket, placing a substantial stack of american currency under the napkin holder, having learned the art of leaving a tip at least.
