Owner	Pose
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake has been bringing non-villains to the Black Market lately. Mike had show biz credits Thomas' colleagues accepted. Megan -was a dang faerie. Read some uncensored fairy tales, some time. Many are not nice. Besides she was a good sport about wearing a blindfold. That came off down the block. Thomas leads the way in though, holding Pixie's tiny hand.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn has noooo idea what she's getting herself into, but Mike's friend seemed cool and she liked cool..Although blindfolds are totally a new thing. It's hard not to want to peek but she promised so here goes! Oh yeah, apparently one of the 'rules' was no costumes! Hopefully her wings and pointy ears and big eyes dont count? at least she's trying to blend in with a short black skater dress and short black leather jacket and matching boots. Hey at least she's coordinated and kiiinda goth? The black streaks in her pink hair help a bit too. "Soooo uh, where we going, again?"
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake says, "I will explain. A lot of winning a fight involves attitude. There are no powers allowed here. You have to get by with your attitude and or your fists. Also we will get you some clothes to make people take you very seriously. But right now your lesson..." Thomas very pointedly drops Pixie's hand and points to a store entrance. "Wait a minute, then meet me over. Yo! Guys! New talent here!" Thomas points at her, then he plunges through the thin crowd, whizzing around people too slow to get out of his way. He dives in the store not looking back.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn blinks slowly as she peers around. "Uh...Wow, what is this place?" she grimaces, uncertain of what to think. She's always been a hero, a goody good..And relying heavily on her powers. But suddenly she's being thrown in the deep end..And suddenly Thomas is running off. She blinks, peering around, pouting, "Uh, hey!" but he told her to wait a few minutes. She draws a deep breath, and then chases after him..
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake watches the girl run. The shop owner too and says, "You sure she has it in her?" Thomas nods slowly. "Yeah she's a real killer. Like Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby." The shop owner, Mert, snorts and says, "You never saw that movie, did you?" Thomas gets out of the way of the fugitive Faerie, letting her in the shop and indicates to a couple of people pondering a chase, what a bad idea it would be. He slams the door after Pixie crosses it and looks concerned. "You gotta stop running all the time. It just makes people want to chase you. This is Mert and she's going to help you with your look. Mert, This is... Pinky." The shopowner looks Pixie over and indicates a changing room.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn makes a face as she slows down, stepping into the shop. "Soo what was that all about? " she grins and nods to the store clerk, "Hi, I'm..Err...?" a surprised brow is arched at Thomas, "Pinkie? Seriously? Couldn't I get a more badass nickname at least?" she rolls her eyes! "Sooo you gonna give me a super awesome make over or what?"
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake rubs his nose again. "That was about you walking like you own the room, any room. Somebody looks at you the wrong way, you tell them to shove off. Somebody grabs your behind you break a few of their fingers. That is what you project. Someone invades your space, you protect it." He steps in very close to Pixie. "You don't want me here? Move me. Make me leave." If he hates doing this, he gives no sign.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, not used to being rough or tough at all. It catches her by surprise, especially when he gets in a bit too close. "...Uh...Okay...?" she clears her throat..And shoves him with all her might. "Outta my way, punk!" she exclaims in her best bad girl voice. hey give her a break, she's new to all of this!
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake rocks back slightly. Hey she needs a win right now. She's trying. He grabs her wrist firmly, not trying to hurt her and says, "I say no. What now? Dissuade me further." He nods to encourage her. Mert watches, poker faced.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn narrows her eyes and grits her teeth, taking a step back and to the side twisting her wrist back and to the side, breaking free from where his thumb and fingers meet, the weakest link. "I said, back off!" At the same time, she aims a knee towards his groin. Really, she's no black belt but she's obviously learned basic self defence from the Xmen at some point.
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake block the groin shot with his free palm. "Good. Now go with Mert, come back badass and we'll celebrate you finding your inner bitch with some food and libations. Only, you start out the way you just were." He thwaps her on the shoulder. "Go on, lesson learned. Next time we'll show you what to do if you don't break the wrist lock." "Let me hold your purse. There's crooks around here."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn arches a brow, "Wait that's, it? I didn't even get to beat you up.." heck, he blocked her attack but go figure, he's clearly tougher than her. Still she nods and smirks, "Hee, ok! I just love makeovers!" she blinks, "Uh, I mean, who, whatevs, chump!" she grins and winks at him, and heads out with Mert to get some new badass digs. or something.
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake's response is a snort and a gentle shove on Pixie's back. "Oh you're gonna beat me up now? Damn I'm a better teacher than I thought! I want to apply for a position at your school! Yeeeeeeah." He puts his feet up on an umbrella stand. The smallest smile plays on his face a moment as Mert draws the curtain, and reaches for a scissors.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn pauses and pouts, "Heey, dont be such a jerk! Ill be5 I could, if I was allowed to use my powers down here, yannow!" but Seriously she'd be in real trouble if her team mates found out. Probably. Maybe. Possibly? Hey she's a big girl now. But anyways, Mert is waiting so she hurries of with her to get a total badass makeover, vanishing briefly from view.
Michael Hannigan	With it being generally late at night. The club near the clothing sales area is experiencing it's own activity. With Thursday being the start of the weekend for those who don't like to conform to weekend rules, the presence of a music act being featured tonight is not unheard of. Having two back to back acts? Still doable. Having finished up his portion of the evening's entertainment, Nick Drago WAS going to hit the bar for a drink. BUT the flash of pink hair in the side of his vision causes his head to turn. Seeing a Thomas with, the wild haired musician smiles and heads over. Megan's gone from view by the time Nick shows up. He looks over to Thomas, giving a nod of greeting. "...Evening."
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake nods. "We're making progress. Previous to this I have the impression a pillow fight was more her scene. And... Gabrielle would own her ass in one of those. I'm glad to help her. She's a sweet girl. But it's a dangerous world for Mutants out there, you know? I mean if I was in a brawl with the X-Men, I'd look to take her down quick. She looks kind of fragile."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn can be heard chatting with the store clerk, lightly arguing about one thing or other. But when she re-emerges, it's in a pretty badass outfit of sorts: She's still got the short black leather jacket, worn over a neon pink heavy metal band t-shirt, short torn cut offs over black mesh tights, black army boots. Hair pulled up into a high ponytail, streaked more black than pink now with a black spiked hair clip matching a black spike bangle on her wrist. A chain belt dangling from the hip of her cut offs. "How's this?" she gives a twirl.
Michael Hannigan	"Ah so I wasn't imagining the pink hair." Nick comments, glancing around to the clothing on display. One and one makes... "So, figure dressing the part will help with getting into character?" Hearing Megan's voice, Nick glances over. Brows raising as he looks to the new look. "...huh."
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake gets up and regards Megan intently. "We're making progress. But badasses don't twirl, slow turn." He demonstrates, "So Pinky... I heard you sleep with a teddy bear and a night light and you have footie pajamas for every day of the week and... you cry at that show with the ponies. What does your new badass persona say to that? Oh and here's a mental exercise, Nick, add tee-hee after every sentence she utters."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn makes a face and turns more slowly. "Alright ya wimps, how do I look? am I bad or am I bad? And quit calling me pinkie! My name is..Uh..Cinnamon...? Is that bad enough?" and then she glares at Thomas, "Hey! I'm not a kid you know, I'm 20! And I'm more than old enough to drink so screw the law! And I'll totally kick in your teeth if you say that again, cuz the only thing I sleep with is..,A gun?!"
Michael Hannigan	Truth be known, Megan's not really the only one who is dressed for a role. Case in point, one stage persona looking over Megan's outfit and listening to Thomas's critque of the twirl. He doesn't put up an argument about the twirling. Rockers don't twirl. They spin. ... YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. "Why stop there?" Nick responds, "It'd be more of a mental exercise tagging it on to what you say." The rocker tilts his head, giving a smirk. "Of course I wouldn't." Or would he? That smirk looks suspicious. Hearing Megan's choice of name, Nick gives a slight grimace in reaction. "Too long." He responds, "Try for two syllables or less. Sharper tones." Nick looks over to Thomas, "Could you imagine if I had used Nicholas Drago for my stage name?"
Thomas Blake	Thomas Blake gets a sudden coughing fit, causing him to turn away and... he seems to be shaking a minute. There's a quick swipe at his eyes. He snots and hands Mert a wad of bills before pointing through the window at the bar. "I'll be sure to tell Superman, Green Arrow and Green Lantern their names suck. Cinammon, wants a drink. We would be ill advised to refuse her. Let's go. Drinks are on me." He makes to drag the two after him as he leaves. "Walk like you own the whole fucking place. Walk up to the bar and order three shots and beers."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn rolls her eyes at Nick and Thomas, "Geez, tough crowd..Umm well..I dint give a damn if you don't like my new name, and if you keep complaining I'll kick yer butts! So there!" she arches a brow a5 the money, shoving the wads back at Thomas, "Seriously? I don't need your charity, I'll pay for these myself.."good thing she just got paid. She even has a credit card and uses that to pay..Wait so bad assets use credit cards? Maybe? "Ooh, drink sounds good." she grins.
