[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 5599889, member: 13966"] [b]Gemini[/b] Gemini was watching some old cartoons on the TV in his current apartment (rented under the alias of some poor bum he mugged a few months ago), enjoying the wanton violence and craziness of the old-fashioned slapstick, when his communicator buzzed. What a nuisance. Bad enough that his 'mentor' sent a telepathic summons roaring through his mind like a freight train the other day, after the run-in with Dr. Destruction. Now the Doctor was probably calling to give him more orders. No doubt he would hunt Gemini down or just launch some telepathic attack against him if he refused, like hurling him from the V'sori transport last time. So Gemini picked up the commlink from his coffee table and switched it on, listening to the message. Gemini responded [COLOR="Silver"]"Awright, find dem Underworlders, git that thar power source, 'n' hook up yuir haivy gier t' beam the juice t' yer ouin lab or wotevah. Easy-peasy,"[/COLOR] in a jumble of different tones and accents. He hadn't decided yet who he'd be today. He was half-tempted to respond in a mix of Arabic, Japanese, and Italian just to see if Doctor Destruction could even make heads or tales of it (and maybe sneak in a few disparaging words into the mix), but decided at the last second to avoid potentially provoking the supervillain. Now Gemini gets off the couch, does a few stretches, then goes over to rifle through his myriad disguises. Finally, he steps outside in the guise of the bum he mugged a few months back, though less dirty and more professionally dressed, and strides out towards a more-crowded street where he adopts the appearance of a random guy passing by in the crowd. As he passes through an alleyway, his 'brother' materializes and follows, assuming the appearance of another random fellow on the next busy street they pass. When Gemini arrives at the warehouse, he appears to be a pair of middle-management guys, talking business in New England accents as they approach the warehouse, briefcases in hand. One of the two fellows appears to be a tall, slam caucasian man in his 40s with a bald spot barely combed-over with brown hair, wearing a brown suit with white shirt and a checkered red-and-yellow tie. The other fellow seems to be a shorter man with Asian features, black suit and black tie with a white shirt and scruffy black hair, speaking with a hint of a Japanese accent. Their suits are just cheap knockoffs of what real executives would wear. The two very different businessmen enter the warehouse and, virtually as one, simultaneously say in loud, clear voices [COLOR="Silver"]"You know, we really should synchronize our communicators to the same frequency, given that the Doctor has insisted we work together."[/COLOR] The two spread out to lean against opposite walls of the warehouse. [sblock=ooc]I was just waiting for things to move on from the Helis/Siren/Brick brawl....... Gemini has no reason to interfere with others' conflicts unless he has something to gain from it.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
