Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn is getting to know the Roost little by little, and meeting new people every day. Still there were a few places she was not allowed to visit yet but the Rec room seemed pretty safe, so here she is, trying to hone her aim with a game of solo pool. Maybe some day she will be allowed in on one of their training sessions but until then, this will have to do.

Unfortunately pool is quite a bit different from throwing daggers and she is having trouble sinking balls. But this is good practice for improving her aim..If only she could get proper instruction on how to actually play properly.

Roy Harper has posed:
A yawn. Roy must have just got up. He's wearing a brown T-shirt that has a dozen pictures of cute little birds of the Paridae family with the caption above the pictures that reads 'Nice Tits.' In addition, he wears blue gym shorts. He pads barefoot into the room carrying a 2-liter bottle of Cherry Pepsi and a family-size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.

He flops down in a beanbag chair and yawns again. "Hey. You winnin'?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn lines up the cue and knocks the white ball, barely tapping the ball she's aiming for. "Nuts, this is sooo hard! Way harder than throwing knives." she grins and nods to a familiar face, "Heya Roy, how's it shaking? Cool shirt!" she stifles a giggle as she gets the pun. For her own part, Megan is dressed in casual blue jeans, a green shirt and running shoes, her green pea coat slung on a nearby rack. She doesn't live here but visits often. "You any good at pool? Care to give me some pointers?"

Roy Harper has posed:
Roy snorts as he opens the 2-liter bottle of Cherry Pepsi. He lines up the shot and tosses the cap across the room. It swishes into the trash. He must be planning on drinking the entire thing. "I don't know shit about pool. I stopped messin' with it because if I throw one more pool ball through a window I think Tim's gonna throw me out." He lifts the bottle to his mouth and chugs down a quarter of it in one long pull.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a brow at the shot into the garbage, "Woah, nice shot.." she pauses, checking her cue, buffing it with chalk, "Oh yeah? But you got pretty good aim. Better than mine. Why not give it a try, unless you're afraid I might beat you?" she grins impishly, "I suppose at the end of the day it's just about aiming and..Physics maybe?"

Roy Harper has posed:
The teen vigilante tugs open the Doritos, his gaze evaluating Megan. "Yer an instigator," he says, though his tone indicates approval not judgement. "A shit stirrer. Yer gonna fit in perfect around here." He stuffs some of the chips in his mouth and washes them down with Pepsi. "You been out patrolling? Anything going down in Gotham?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn grins and nods, "Don't I know it!" she winks, "Someone's gotta keep people on their toes around here, might as well be me." she gives a little shrug, peering down the cue as she lines up some balls to shoot.At least when you're playing solo, there is less chance of making a fool of yourself if the other person is better. "Yeah, I've been patrolling, but nothing terribly exciting. Gotham's definitely different from New York though, I mean, I stick out like a sore thumb no matter what, but at least people don't wanna kill me nearly as badly in New York!" she shoots off the ball, sinking two two holes in one shot. "Wooo, I got two! Lucky!" she does a little dance.

Roy Harper has posed:
Roy stands up and stretches, yawning again. He walks over closer to the table and sits in a regular chair. He watches the pool balls glide around the table. "Why do people want to kill you so bad here in Gotham?" he inquires curiously.

Releasing he left his vital supplies back near the bean bag chairs, he trots back and gets them, and then sits back near the pool table again. Holding out the Doritos, he asks, "Want some?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn shrugs, "I'm a mutant, we're not exactly loved, especially when you're an obvious mutant. Add that to a higher crime rate and a superhero deliberately looking for trouble and that spells, well..Trouble!" she grins, "I suppose it doesn't help that I'm a known member of the Xmen Afterall.." oh but she can hardly say no to Doritos and she giggles and nods, reaching for some, "Thanks!"

Roy Harper has posed:
Roy Harper says, "Are you out there working alone?" Roy inquires, some concern in his voice. "Has Tim paired you up with anyone? Does he know that you're being targeted here because of your origin?""

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn hmms, "Well..I haven't exactly received any formal training or instruction from Tim. But you're right, I should talk to him about that. I mean..I'm not exactly a full fledged member, I just pop in to assist here and there, especially with issues of a magical nature. But a more formal introduction, and a partner would be nice." she bites her lip, pondering that. "Of course you do have other mutant members, but Laura at least is pretty tough, dunno Gabby quite as well.."

Roy Harper has posed:
Roy pulls one leg up to his chest and rests his chin on his knee. "Well I don't mean to be nosy and butt in to your shit," Roy says. "I just figured Tim should know if one of the fam is being specifically targeted." He chugs down more Pepsi. "Sorry if it sounds like I was being preachy."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn shrugs and grins, "Nah, I doubt I'm specifically being targeted. I just stick out like a sore thumb, and because of my connections with Xmen I'm a known mutant. I'll be fine, really. All the same, I'll have a chat with Tim about it." she arches a brow, "One of the fam, huh? Thanks! Glad to know I'm not just a stranger who butt her head into this secret org or something.." of course, right place, right time and rescuing others and kicking butt might have helped there. "Soo how long you been a member here?" she narrows her eyes as she peers at the table, readying her next shot..
