[KitanaVorr]

Originally posted by Krizzel "Both very good ideas, Ms. Nguyen," Dr. Harrison praised with a smile.

If hearts could fly out of Anh's head, they probably would be at this very moment as she melted at his praise, looking at her idol with wide warm adoring eyes. He said my ideas were good! Oh, he thinks I'm smart...oh oh...he likes me!...Doesn't he?

Whatever else he said sort of passed through her brain to wait in the queue of thoughts unprocessed as she began to fantasize about romantic dinners, dancing in the moonlight, stolen kisses oh!...she blushes at the thought...and...and then...her blush deepened and she tries to find something else to stare at while returning to paying attention to the conversation.

OOC: How much time to do we have before the game?

OOC: Today is Monday the 24, the game is Sunday the 30th. I'll have the Lt. respond this evening, I'm about to head out for a bit. The outfield is enclosed, part of it just doesn't have seating. See here for better pictures.

"Like I said, I can cover lots of ground if need be. Theoretically, I should be able to accumulate a speed of 33 ft per second, but the suit hasen't been tested yet in such high speeds."
Speedy stops leaning on the table and assumes a thinking position.
"The problem is, I really can't make a decent fight for long."

"Well, I can fly . . . although the flaming wings do tend to scare some people. I guess we could show the crowd that I can do that during the introductions, so that there's no panic if I have to fly during the game. I'm not really sure where you would want me positioned. Although I'd like to be on the field, wherever's best for the team is okay with me." Brandon says as he reviews the layout of the stadium.

 

[Caliber]

"I'm about as mobile as a regular person, so don't expect me to go flying over the field. I'll go where I'm needed as well, though."

(Dr. Harrison) turned his chair to face Lt. Liberty, scratching his small beard thoughtfully. "Lieutenant, can you tell us anything about the supervillians and normal criminals who either operate in the area currently or have in the past? Especially anyone who could fly or leap over the walls."

"The only supervillains that have regularly operated in Orange County are the Skaterz," the Lieutenant replied. "They're a bunch of anti-establishment skateboarding hooligans with some minor mutant powers. I believe one or two have enhanced speed, but I don't think they have any flyers."

"Of course, sometimes LA-based supervillains will expand their operations down here," he continued, "but there are too many of those who are highly mobile to really narrow the field any."

"Among normal criminals, the only organized group - besides standard street gangs - in OC is the Vietnamese Mafia," Stevens said. "They haven't shown any inclination to use superhumans in their operations yet."

"Brandon," the vet addressed the young man, "that's a good idea. I'll call Tim and have him work you into the pre-game fireworks show. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to have you involved."

"I don't stink now..." a voice says from the corridor and George Washington enters, walking in a very stiff, animatronic sort of way and moving his arms up and down, "...and I CANNOT TELL A LIE - I CANNOT TELL A LIE - I CANNOT TELL A LIE."

Then George doubles over laughing at himself, "Man, those things used to amaze me when I was a kid, but now they're just so ridiculous. Hahahahahahaha ... oh, I can't breathe ... hahahahahahaha!!!"

 

[Keia]

"That's true, and with my flaming wings it should look pretty cool - as long as they don't call me Angel or something like that. I've read about heroes that get stuck with crappy names, because the media or the public makes one up for them. That would really suck." Brandon says from his seat at the table.

Then George doubles over laughing at himself, "Man, those things used to amaze me when I was a kid, but now they're just so ridiculous. Hahahahahahaha ... oh, I can't breathe ... hahahahahahaha!!!"

"Are people supposed to turn that color of blue, or are you doing that with you powers? I think you might want to breathe."

Anh chuckled at their antics. "Well, I don't think the name of 'Angel' would be so bad," she assured Brandon with a smile. "I mean what lady wouldn't want to date an Angel, huh? And I do like the fly by idea. It will definitely get the crowd warmed up to us."

 

[Caliber]

"And good popular opinion is always a good idea."

Shaking his head at NE1, seemingly still uncomfortable around the shapeshifter.

"So Brandon and Speedy can cover most of the field. Where should the rest of us go? Not all of us blend in as well as others."

Saying the last, Bruce glances towards NE1 again.
