Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen had class earlier this morning, and when he got up for class this morning, his hair would not cooperate this morning, so he grabbed a hat as he left for class. It is a Brown hat with the Gotham Zoo's Logo and name on it. He also wears a pair of jeans and t-shirt with one of the latest video games log on it. Since he has finished his class for today, he has taken the time to grab some food at the cafe. Bart has been told to take time to have a normal life, and this is one of the times he is trying it.

Mairin Moran has posed:
Mairin Moran walks into the cafe along with a group of other girls, and dispite being about the right age, it quickly becomes apparent she doesn't belong here. For one, the other grls all continue walking, leaving her standing just inside the doorway glancing around as if completely unsure exactly where she is supposed to go or how this particular establishment works. Too old to be a likely freshman, and too lost to be a regular, she stands out even without meaning to.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will end up coming near the door to one of the open tables. He has a tray with quite a bit of food more than you would expect for someone his size for sure. He notices the girl, and her blank/lost look and will set his food down on the table, and takes a couple steps away from it towards it, and asks "Miss, you ok, you looking for someone of somewhere?" Yea even in his civilian life he is trying to help people.

Mairin Moran has posed:
She jumps a bit when Bart talks to her, and turns, revealing a not insubstatial number of textbooks in the satchel slung over her shoulder where most women would wear a purse. Not entirely out of place in a university cafe, but Bart is able to catch a title in that split second, "Quantum Flux Relationships and Interdependancies. Not exactly light reading.

"I'm sorry." She moves out of the way of the door, obviously assuming Bart was trying to leave, and just as obviously not having heard what he was saying.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen blinks a moment, and says "No need for an apology, you just looked like you were looking for someone or something. I'm Bart" He offers his hand to her "New here, maybe your looking for the science department or one of the professors there?" He hmms and names off a few of the professors that in the quantum mechanics fields. "Just thought I would offer you help if you were looking for something and I might know where it is."

Mairin Moran has posed:
She blinks, then chuckles. "Oh. No, thank you. I mean, no I'm not looking for anyone presently. I was already in to see Proffesor Turnbull," she names one of the professors you ran through. "I just thought I would stop for something to eat." She squints back up at the menu. "Are you a student here then?" she asks, without looking away.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head and says "Yea, I am studying Veterinarian medicine with Dr. Trolligul." He names one of his main professors. "If your looking to get something to eat, I suggest their bacon cheese burgers, Marcus is working today and he always gives a good helping of bacon when he makes them."

Mairin Moran has posed:
Mairin actually blanches a little at that suggestion. Obviously her tastes run a little counter to Bart's. "That sounds awful," she comments matter-of-factly. A second later she seems to catch herself and turns back to face you. "But thank you for the suggestion." There is an oddly practiced tone to the words. "And for the help." Then she turns to go get something.

If Bart watches her, he'd see her wander past every station, examining each thoroughly before moving to the next. After she's sure of every choice available, she settles for a large salad, pays, and then is left standing as she tries to determine a place to eat.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will watch her yes, he does start to offer her a suggestion on what they have that is good vegetarian, but she is heading over. He will move to get himself some soda, and heads back to his table. If she nears him, while he is sitting down he will offer her a seat "You can sit here if you want, I don't bite." He offers with a smile. "Atleast not unless your fries, or cheese burger or such."

Mairin Moran has posed:
Mairin laughs and walks over to take a seat across from Bart, setting her satchel on the table with a firm thump. "I believe the probability of my spontaniously transmuting into any food item is relatively low." She takes a long drink of water before pointing at Bart's hat with her fork. "Did you enjoy the zoo?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit at the question but then remembers the hat "Oh Gotham zoo? I work there." He offers in explanation, "But yea is a great place to work, love working with the animals and such. " He offers in explanation "So, you obviously not a student here, looking to talk to Turnbull for a research paper?" He asks out of curiousity

Mairin Moran has posed:
She chews, swollows, and shakes her head. "Not as such, no. I'm colaborating with him on some research I'm doing. My associate thought he might be able to help us solve some problems we were having with over-stressing the..." She screaches to a halt, pauses for a second, then smiles. "Some problems we were having. I haven't been to the zoo in ages. I used to go all the time when I was a kid." Hard u-turn on the conversation highway.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods a bit and does not press for info on her project people want to keep those secret a lot. "You should stop by some time, we had some cheetahs born about four months ago, and a giraffe about a year ago. They are some of the current draws to the zoo." He eats a bit fast and a lot, but does at least eat with his mouth shut and does not talk with his mouth full.

Mairin Moran has posed:
She nods sagely as she listens, perfectly happy to let him dominate the conversation. The less she has to talk, the less chance of making a mistake. "Do they let you... Do a lot with the animals?" She's obviously stretching, trying to make conversation in a topic she isn't familiar or even overly interested in. But genuinly trying.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Well, I don't get to do everything since I am a student, and work nights, but I get a decent amount of contact with them. The higher ups like that I am going to school for working on the animals, and not just some guy there looking for a pay check do that helps too.""

Mairin Moran has posed:
"Showing initiative and dedication is always a good first step. It sets you at least halfway up the ladder before you even start." She shifts and leans forward slightly, "And if you want to do any kind of work with aimals in the future, the zoo is an excellent place to get referals and make connections to help you latter."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods a bit and says "I have been thinking about working at a zoo full time, but I am not sure if I will be working at Gotham or a different one. I do enjoy it though." He will smile and says "What about you, what do you want to do."

Mairin Moran has posed:
She motions to the satchel with her fork as she chews and swollows. "I can't imagine doing anything more interesting or fullfilling." She pauses. "They do research at the zoo too don't they?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit and says "Yea, even some that you don't normally see at other zoos. There is one guy who is doing an experiment on the long term results from the fish that were exposed to the jokers gas, but lived, and how it effects them and their descendants." He munches a bit of fries, and says "In classes we have been going over different diets, and some folks still working on finding more detailed diets for types of animals.

Mairin Moran has posed:
"I imagine finding ways to help the animals overcome all of the things they've had to suffer there is a constant problem." She thinks for a moment. "You know... I don't think I've been to the zoo since before the tidal wave. I guess I just assumed it was gone... And then I had my own studies to worry about. But I'm guessing they rebuilt it even better?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head and says "Yea, probably one of the more high tech zoos in the world, between the rebuild, and the whole security systems they have there. It does have some special issues most zoo's don't with being in Gotham.

Mairin Moran has posed:
She rolls her eyes and nods. "Ahh yes. The joys of being in Gotham. I'm glad they've taken precations."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods and about then his phone beeps. He looks at it and sighs "I need to go handle some things, but it was good to meet you." He realizes he does not have her name but says "Hopfully we can chat some more about the zoo if you end up around here more talking to Dr. Turnbull, but I have to go."

Mairin Moran has posed:
She nods and waves with her fork, your exit having caught her mid-bite.
