Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty's out on a scout mission. She's out in Bushwick, or this pub. She's out here scouting possible new recruits. And she's invited Alice along for the ride cause. Getting out of Xavierr's. Misssion statement? Find possible recruits. So far? Drunk idiots at halff seven at night running their mouths.

Great. Just....great.

She's on edge, sitting there with water and looking over the pub and back too Alice.

Red has posed:
Even as Kitty had dragged her there, Alice also might be an asset becuse she was kinda a Bushwick resident. She knew faces. "I told you, if you really want recruits, just taking my Highschool yearbook could fill classes easily. I mean, at least in my class we had possibly some 3 out of 5 who might qualify, some more obvious than others." she utters, herself clinging to a tomato juice. Not a Bloody Mary, just pure, salted tomato juice with a leek in it.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty smirks. "I know right?" she asks with a nod around the room, watching it all before eyeing what Alice is drinking. "What?" she asks. "Is....that?"

It's a drink, obviously. But....Kitty's both curious and worried by it. She's got her own drink. Not salted tomato things, nope. Water.

Red has posed:
"Tomato juice." Alice answers with a stern look, pushing it over in an offer . "Want to try?"

"Why again are we here?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty pushes the tomato jucie drink right back. "No way. No. No thanks" she says and shrugs. Why're we here? Looking for new friends" she adds watching the bar and pub quietly, sipping her water.

Oh sure, New friends. New possible mutants for Xavier's?

Sure. Sure. Kitty. Bring Alice along. There's raised voices off in a corner as Kitty looks over that way. Oh. Oh fu..

FoH asses. Wonderful.

Red has posed:
"And I told you, grab a highschool yearbook and we can spot half of what you look..." Alice repeats, then the sound in the corner that draws Kitty's eyes gets Alice to turn the head eying the people gathering. "Dang..."

Shadowcat has posed:
"Yeah and you think they'd be all hey, I'm what?" Kitty ads looking unimpressed. The laughter and shouts die down as Kitty and Alice get looked over and the group at the table get up one by one. Oh. Oh fu....

Red has posed:
Alice eyes the grup coming over, fallen silent. She hadn't mentioned the word, mutant - she down't usually use it anyway. She only uses X-gene carrier.

Hulk has posed:
Then there's the mobile home that pulls up visibly into the local parking lot. It's not long enough to block anyone, but it's certainly enough that will probably get a few raised voices here and there while it remains.

Nothing to be done about that, of course... the owner was only going to be around for ten minutes or so anyway.

Out of the door comes a man wearing jeans, a longcoat with black shirt, and a baseball cap. His hands are currently in his pockets in a shy, unassuming manner as he heads for the corner store, presumably to shop.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn has been hanging around Mutant Town a lot lately. And it's not just because of rumours of more violence going on, but she had other, more personal reasons too.

But this particular pub isn't one she visits often, probably because she's still not quite drinking age. But hey, she's looking for someone, or, someones, and so she's here, peeking her head in, glancing around curiously. Maybe looking a bit out of place in her bright purple top and green skirt, bright pink hair and colorful wings she's not even bothering to hide. Cuz hey, she's in mutant town afterall.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty's glancing around. Oh, great. Bigotted types by the way they're coming over. True,Kitty could just phase through them but nah, just nah. Kitty's wanting to defend...oh come on. Is that Pixie? Great. Pixie's kinda all Pixie-ish and not hiding her wings

Red has posed:
Alice follows the obvious goons through the bar with the eyes, sitting opposite to Kitty that means she has to somewhat turn the head fully, and she does see Pixie... goddang, stay low... pleae...

Hulk has posed:
By the time anyone is worrying about pixies, Bruce is already inside the store and picking up some weekly groceries.

Milk? Check. Bread? Check. Cookies? Check.

What? Everyone loves cookies.

"That'll be twelve dollars, Sir." The person behind the register states as Bruce pulls out a wallet from one of his pockets, the green material encasing his hands making him fumble just a bit with the twenty. "There you go." Bruce offers, quietly, as he places it down.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn peers around and spies some familiar faces. Heey, there's Kitty! And Alice! She probably passed by Bruce on the way here but didn't spot him yet. Oh and are those shady thugs? She bites her lip, steppign further in but ah..she needs the washroom first. She smilse and waves to the two girls before hurrying into the washroom.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty shakes her head at Pixie as if telling her to hide her wings..right about, mm, now. The thugs are getting closer. They reek of cheap beer and who knows what else, and they're swaying.

Oh great, Kitty's got a job to do here. Protect Alice and any and all mutants. FoH, FoH sympathizers? Well...huh, sure, why not..

Okay, why not get people out's a problem, mostly since, well, Kitty's a guiding hand. But she can fight, too. Kitty knows what she's doing in a fight. And she's scary to pick a fight with, too.

Red has posed:
Alice just keeps eying the goos of the FoH as they move through the bar, looking for trouble.

Hulk has posed:
"Good afternoon." Bruce says by way of goodbye as he takes both bags of groceries and moves for the doorway.

Now, it's just a matter of getting back to the mobile home.

Shadowcat has posed:
Oh, they find trouble. Mostly in the form of one of the drunk goons stumbling into a chair. And....not being happy with it. Though fortunately, the goon finds the floor and is rambling incoherently. Kitty's watching. It's when they all start squaring up as if to fight....Kitty's not happy

Red has posed:
Alice scampers more into the corner wih her chair as people jump up to fight, because she isn't much of a fighter.

Shadowcat has posed:
THe problem with drunk fighting? It's inaccurate, it's wild swings. it's the sorta thing Kitty can look at and it moves in slow motion. See, she just ducks and steps back. Fist? Meet table. Meet wood splinters, too. Ouch.

Kitty puts the table between her and the drunks, then is working out her best path to Alice, then the door...

Red has posed:
With Alice right on the opposide side of te table, that would be probably yover or through the table. But Alice herself steps up to press herself against the wall to get more space. As space translates to time, she uses that newfound chance... and reworks the shape of the chair desroying guy's pants. They don't need to have separate legs after all.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty doesn't bother hearing the aftermath. She's booking it across the pub. What started as a simple find new friends in Bushwick, that turned out to be a fight and so on with FoH friends, who....yeah they're on the wrong side of Alice. Kitty, too who has come around to Alice's side of the table. See, Kitty's willing to step up to protect fellow mutants. And she's not laid a hand on the guys...yet

Hulk has posed:
A fight tends to create a bit of panic as the conflict avoiders run, and run they do out of the bar. It gets Bruce's attention easily as he's about to enter the mobile home, and he drops the bags next to his door before he heads over to the bar itself.

Keeping himself against a wall, he takes a peek inside the windows to get a look at the situation.

Red has posed:
Alice tries to figure out who's with the guy that just went rampage whole her finger seek Kitty's arm to allow her to het her away by following along. But the next guy she can identify as a friend of Humanity gets another remodel of the underwear. Up his backdor.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty groans and just slips out of phase. That's got a few effects.

1. Kitty goes through the table.

2. She kills the electrical things to the pub in a slow motion visible cascade of horrific failure...

And 3. She's wrecked her phone. Again. Well, this time she was doing it in the course of defending Alice. Coming back into phase, Kitty's stood right next to Alice. The guy taking a swing at Kitty teeters for a moment, and....topples over with a slow thud and a 'godddamnit' muffled by eating the floor. Yowch. Kitty's smart enough to pick fights with people far more drunk and less balanced than her. See. Kitty then waits, oh, she waits...and is seriously debating throwing a bottle at the guy on the floor.

Hulk has posed:
This might be under control... might not. Either way, bringing The Other Guy into this mess would just turn it much more ugly.

So Bruce waits to see how the situation develops, watching through the window.

Red has posed:
Alice ducks deeper into the corner as the last of Stryker-sympathiants closes in enough to swing at her and Kitty, but only so long there is the chance for that as Alice melts the soles of the guys sneakers and prety much sucks the feet in place...

Shadowcat has posed:
Well the last guy's not going anywhere soon. Kitty looks to Alice. "This is gonna be paperwork..." she admits with a groan. Looking to the door, Kitty grumbles. "oH, won't they just give up already? I mean. Really?" she asks narrowing her gaze at the three Stryker fans. Great. Kitty's gonna hafta explain this. But Alice was there. So that's good

Red has posed:
Alice says, "They attacked us, that's self defense." Alice says as she tries to step around the guy she connected to the foor, giving him a smack on the back of the head."

Shadowcat has posed:
"Yeah I know, thoughh I think we need to get outta here" Kitty admits looking dspleased at being caught flat footed by the FoH..

So she heads for the door, motioning for Alice to come with her. Nah she won't call this in...not yet at least. Nah. FoH did this to themselves. It's all their fault

Red has posed:
Alice speeds her feet to follow along. "Let's get home..." she mutters, glaring back at the three... tied up, glued down and stuffed up. That's the FoH in a nutshell.
