The District of Columbia

[Aiden]

Washington

She turned her head and pecked her on the cheek. "Well, tell me what happened. This sounds like something you'll need to brief me on anyway."

Serra Drosa

A flush of warmth appeared on her cheeks at that. Serra sat up just a little straighter, and her eyes instinctively turned aside to take in any potential onlookers. She had chosen a booth where nobody could approach or observe them from behind, so it was simple. "I'm sure you already heard about the attacks this morning. I've been spending all day coordinating on the matter - and gathering support for our inevitable retaliation."

That was just like the young senator, of course - pushing as though her measures were a certainty until enough people believed so too.

Subtly, she leaned into Washington some more. "They interrupted my very nice helicopter ride."

Lily

"Oh wow someone's a salty loser, but sure I'm up for it!"

The redhead lazily got back into position, in the same overly relaxed style as before. "You know it's just going to be the same right?" She took a few steps and begun circling her silver haired opponent. Her long tail was swishing back and forth behind her now, giving away her true feelings of excitement about a rematch against a more serious opponent.

Enterprise

"Heh. I underestimated you. It won't happen again." Enterprise smirked. "And if you keep acting all cocky, I'll make sure to spank your cute succubus ass and teach you a lesson or two myself."

She returned to her original position a few feet away from Lily. "Anything goes, right?"

And then, before she'd even finished speaking, her hand snaked out and grabbed for Lily's tail once again, reaching out to give it a powerful yank with all her might!

Lily

"Hahah as if-iyaaahhh!"

The redhead stumbled as her trembling knees bent and she just barely caught herself on the floor with her hands before falling face first. Her whole body was shivering though, like leaves in a storm.

"HEY THAT'S CHEATING... CHEAAAATING!"

[Elf]

Forest

"Because she's a hammer.  What's a hammer in most people's hands? A tool," Forest said as she eyed the pizza.

She could smell the garlic in the slices and it made her stomach clench slightly.

[SINIB]

Thorra

"Because I'm a hammer." She replied almost at the same time as Forest did. "I like fighting, hitting things, and being used to good effect. When I'm letting someone use me, I'm a tool."

Lily

"Hahah as if-iyaaahhh!"

The redhead stumbled as her trembling knees bent and she just barely caught herself on the floor with her hands before falling face first. Her whole body was shivering though, like leaves in a storm.

"HEY THAT'S CHEATING... CHEAAAATING!"

Enterprise

A foot came down upon her back and pinned her against the matt for good measure. "Anything goes means nothing's cheating!" She exclaimed. "If you have such an obvious weak point, it should be common sense to defend it!"

Enterprise crouched down on top of Lily and felt her blood boiling a bit from the arousal of the situation. "Let's see, what shall I have you do?"

Entheo

Entheo sighed.  It was in this moment that he realized that perhaps he was projecting his own experiences on her a bit too much.  He stared into the ghostly figure's eyes, looking past Forest herself.  "Really?  You live only to fight and be used?  Do you really find that alone fulfilling?  Do you not want to find love, friends, maybe something outside of your family?  Do you really just want to fight?"

Geeze no wonder she wanted to throw down with me for Chris Hemsworth.

Who?

Oh right, we aren't sharing memories anymore.  Don't worry about it.

Entheo leaned in, grabbing a pizza slice by the crust before letting it fall.  They weren't going for the pizza! Forest did say she didn't need any food and a living weapon probably didn't need one either, especially when she didn't have a human body.  "Like, if you could picture an ideal future, what would it be?"

[SINIB]

Washington

She turned her head and pecked her on the cheek. "Well, tell me what happened. This sounds like something you'll need to brief me on anyway."

Serra Drosa

A flush of warmth appeared on her cheeks at that. Serra sat up just a little straighter, and her eyes instinctively turned aside to take in any potential onlookers. She had chosen a booth where nobody could approach or observe them from behind, so it was simple. "I'm sure you already heard about the attacks this morning. I've been spending all day coordinating on the matter - and gathering support for our inevitable retaliation."

Subtly, she leaned into Washington some more. "They interrupted my very nice helicopter ride."

Washington

"Hohoho, and you're sure you had no part in planning the attacks?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "How many people were hurt?"

[Aiden]

Serra

"Why would you think such a thing of me? What would possibly make you think that?!"" Serra blushed harder now, her face twisted into an expression of great and terrible offense, and she pulled back with practically a huff at that. "And so you know, we were quite fortunate that nobody died. The hospitalizations and property damage are more than terrible enough."

"Hmm." She replied. "That's good."

Thorra

The hammer picked up a slice of pizza using Forest's body and sniffed at it. "Do you mind?" She asked cautiously over their mental link, unsure of whether a vampiress like Forest would have an aversion to solid food. "That's stupid. The way you're differentiating between being a tool and living a fulfilling life with friends, family, and whatever else. Usually, I wield myself. I'm my own hammer, and anyone else who uses me can only do it with my permission."

Her bolt-shaped eyes stared at Entheo. "My ideal future is fighting alongside my father, Thor. And dying alongside him at the end of all things."

[Elf]

Forest

I'm just a tad worried about the garlic.  However, it may not hurt me now, so we can try it . . . Forest sent back to Thorra.

She steeled herself for any potential burning that would come from the garlic that had to be in the pizza.

[Aiden]

Washington

"Hmm." She replied. "That's good."

Serra

"Of course it is." Visibly collecting herself together again after that scurrilous accusation Washington sent her way, Serra moved on to placing an order using the little kiosk device on the table. "What were you doing when it all happened, anyway?"

[SINIB]

Washington

"Me?" The blond rubbed her legs together and looked away. "I was at the coast, inspecting the fleet."

[yinsukin]

Entheo

Entheo's cool eyes softened in their intensity.  Then he laughed and said,  "maybe.  We all decide what makes us happy.  Thats just some of the things that make most people happy."

He paused for a moment, looking at Forest.  "Well thats not your daddy Thor," he said, a thumb casually pointing towards Forest's body.  He was still looking right at her ghostly figure.  At the moment, his gaze was not focused on her.  "Can you say your happy now?  Assuming Thor does not exist in this realm, do you worry you won't ever be able to be happy?"
