HQ: The 'Ready Lounge'

[Lot]

Carrion has the lead with one turn left in the race when he hears the announcement. Looking with despair on his record-breaking race, he flips off the console and drops his controller. He lifts his hulking figure off his chair and follows his companions out the door.

"Okay, this is it."

Carrion's statement might show nervousness, yet it is difficult to tell with his inhuman voice and monstrous head.

"Come on... I didn't had the time to relax. Even in Irak, after a mission we had a few days to relax... well, as much as you can relax in these region." Cedric stands up and stretch. He then walks to the fridge to take a bottle of juice and leave the room.

Just before the door can slide fully closed again, a voice calls out from beyond in a sort of breathless, dreamy whisper.

"Handsome."

The door stops its journey, glides open and a young man sweeps into the room. Mid twenties, wavy blonde hair, gleaming blue eyes, flawless smile, smooth, lightly bronzed skin. He is smoothing down the fabric on his brand new, standard issue uniform. He smiles broadly as he enters the room.

"Well hey, everyone just left. Did I miss a memo?"

Just before the door can slide fully closed again, a voice calls out from beyond in a sort of breathless, dreamy whisper.

"Handsome."

The door stops its journey, glides open and a young man sweeps into the room. Mid twenties, wavy blonde hair, gleaming blue eyes, flawless smile, smooth, lightly bronzed skin. He is smoothing down the fabric on his brand new, standard issue uniform. He smiles broadly as he enters the room.

"Well hey, everyone just left. Did I miss a memo?"

"Everyone just left on a mission. I'm here to pull a little monitor duty, then I'm headed back to the Midwest. I'm based out of Detroit. My name's Titan.", the large blond man says in a slight finnish accent."Want a beer, they got a full wet bar here."

 

[hafrogman]

Handsome strides over to the large man and greets him warmly, shaking his hand.

"Good to meet you, Titan. I think I will have that beer, you know. While I sit and wait."

He finds his way to the fridge and pulls out a cold one. He pulls open a few drawers, rifles around for a bottle opener, opens his bottle, returns the can opener and closes all the drawers again. He perches on the edge of a nearby table and takes a sip.

"So, what's monitor duty? They got you watching the hallways or something?"

 

[Salix]

"So, what's monitor duty? They got you watching the hallways or something?"

They just want someone here to respond in case another emergency pops up. I'm only staying for a day or two. A guy I work with in Detroit is working on something with a drug cartel and will probably need my help soon. You do any other work, or just the stuff with the Resolutes? Where you from if you can say?

OOC: Not sure if "monitor duty" is anything real. It's just something I made up to explain in game why Sergeant and then Gremlin weren't going on missions.

 

[hafrogman]

Handsome nods along with the Titan's words.

"Right, right. Ever vigilant and all that jazz."

He shakes his head at the question though, smiling wryly.

"Nah, I've not tried my hand much at the superhero business. Thought I'd have a go of it, you know? See how it sat with me. Superhero by day, mild-mannered californian by night, or something like that. My past isn't classified or anything, but it's hardly what I'd call interesting either. You from Detroit originally . . . if you can say?"

 

[Salix]

You from Detroit originally . . . if you can say?"[/B]

"No. I'm from a small town in the north, out on Lake Superior. I go back for Holidays and to hunt, fish, ski, that sort of thing. A lot of my buddies live up there still and I get treated pretty good.", Titan says with a somewhat wistful tone.

 

[hafrogman]

"Sounds nice enough."

Handsome looks around at the empty ready room for a second.

"Looks nice enough here too though, good thing seeing as I may be here a while."

He resumes sipping his beer and looks around for something to occupy his time while he waits.

 

[Salix]

There are some workout facilities here. I saw a little guy in there lifting a lot of wieght when I was being shown around., the large man says.

[Sblock=OOC:Hafrogman]: Could you comment on the training room proposal. Its aimed at people who are waiting for a mission. i'd like some input on whether you think there should be a GM, or whether it should be player driven only.[/sblock]
