Cast of Characters: Beast, Sandra Billings, Red, Nightingale




Beast has posed:
On a weekday evening Club Evolution isn't super packed, but it ain't without patrons, that's for sure. As folks dance and party and have a good time Hank escorts Sandy into the establishment, ready to link with her arm in arm. He's dressed quite nicely, but not super formally. Shiny button up dark red shirt, black tie, black trousers and shiny black leather boots.

The music is pumping, the gathered crowds are dancing and partying. The perfect place for Hank to show off his awesome romantic partner in an environment where they're probably safe from persecution.

"This is quite a nice place, isn't it?" He has to speak loudly to be heard over the sound of the music and the crowd. "Would you like to get a drink before we hit cut a rug?"

Sandra Billings has posed:
Sandy is dressed in a black dress, one that isn't 'too' tight. She doesn't have that type of confidence, so she sticks to the more flowy type of fabrics. As she walks arm in arm with Hank, she takes a look around at all the various people dancing. Lots of mutants. "Wow." She breathes out as she takes a look around. "I never knew this place existed."

At the offer of going to the bar and getting a drink, she gives a nod of her head. "Yes, let's do that. I know I could use a drink or two before I go out and embarrass myself on a dance floor." As she leans into him, she squeezes his strong arm again, then gives him a nudge towards the bar.

"What's your favorite drink?"

Beast has posed:
"It's a wonderful place. Not usually my sort of hangout, but i thought it might be fun for us to go dancing," McCoy says to his girlfriend, looking at her closely and smiling.

As they weave towards the bar he chuckles and says, "I tend to like the sweeter drinks. Daiquiris are probably my all time favorite, though. Both tasty and refreshing. Generally I don't drink much, but occasionally I'll partake in a few. How about you? What's your favorite?"

Red has posed:
What brings a Student of Xaviers into Club evolution? Well, to some degree it is because it is in M-town and the student is from M-Town and on a quick visit home and smelling some air you are used to is rather normal. The other is because as a longtime resident of M-town, Alice knows the club to some degree - and it is a place she can rock.

Rock as in, showcasing those impossible boots that lack laces, loops, elastic bands or zippers as they hug the legs up to the mid of the thighs and have to be cut off. After all, if you have the power to make faux leather do this, why not do it, combine it with a Macleod of Harris-tartan skirt that shows the perfect two inches of skin to the boots - not stockings, BOOTS! - and a white bouse, just for the looks. Apparently she has the type of confidence.

As she enters and does a quick look around, fidling with the band that marks her as below 21 and should prevent her from getting alcohol, she spots a certain pair, her feet slowly direcing her into that direction, clearing her throat a little, winking to 'the Librarian' "How's the exploration of the L-space going, Doctor?"

Sandra Billings has posed:
"Same! I love the fruity drinks. I'm not much of a wine or a whisky person. I don't like beer. I really like margaritas, martinis, mixed drinks." Sandy says with a bubbly sense of energy as she slides up to the bar with a smile. Turning to him, she gives him a grin, then leans forward to give him quite a smooch as she gives a small tug on his tie to bring him closer. It's a brief peck, nothing shameless, but just being out and 'proud' in mutant town has made her far more comfortable.

"I think the reason why I hate beer so much is that a lot of my patients stumble in at all hours, injured, reeking of it and it's now something I relate to the job. You know what I mean? To me, it symbolizes a lack of control." Picking up a menu, she gives a glance over the appetizers, then puts in an order for nachos and a blackberry rita' for herself.

Beast has posed:
"Alice! How are you this evening?" Hank asks his student when she appears nearby, giving the young woman a bright smile. Then he gently touches the small of Sandy's back, "Sandy, this is Alice. Alice, Sandy."

Looking to his girlfriend the blue furball returns the kiss happily. "I can understand that. Beer just doesn't taste as good to me as fruit flavored drinks." He promptly orders himself a daiquiri and something to snack on for himself.

Red has posed:
"Hello miss Sandy." Alice responds to the introduction, eying up the black dress of the woman a few moments longer before nodding. "Beer's bitter, but they say that american's just can't make beer unlike other countries."

She turns to the bar to order herself something without alcohol: Tomato juice. Yes, a virgin bloody mary. "So my bio professor has a private life after all that is not his lab, hm? I wouldn't have thought that possible."

Sandra Billings has posed:
"Hello, Alice! It's nice to meet you." Sandy says with a happy smile upon her face. "I've been meeting all types of students lately." She says with a giggle, reaching out for her margarita to take a sip oncen it arrives. It's on the rocks. "Mm. So yummy." She says as she swivels about in the chair to face them proper. She slides a hand along Hank's arm, letting it settle gently.

"I'm glad that I've been able to help him learn what fresh air is. We both need it. I'm an ER Nurse at Lennox Hill. We met in an ice cream shop a few weeks ago." She says with a giggle. "So between our busy schedules, we try our best to fit some facetime in together. I think it's working so far. So, you're in high school? College?"

Red has posed:
"College since about April. Lower Highschoolers shouldn't have access to these." Alice notes with a little chuckle, lifting a knee to indicate she means her boots. "Had joined the working people for a year or such before that, soo a little older than some of my classmates, but hey, it payed the bills."

Taking her own drink she offers it to the nurse to click glasses. "Where you met our reclusive labrat anyway? I mean, I don't take you're an ex pupil of his, that so would be scandalous..."

Beast has posed:
Returning from getting his drink, Hank smiles as the two women seem to be getting along. He leans against the bar, resting his side against it, and has a sip of his drink. A glance is given between them, Hank knowing how Alice likes to joke.

Sandra Billings has posed:
"No, I'm sure he and I are nearly the same age. I was not a student of his. We met at an ice cream shop a few weeks ago." Sandy says as she give a smile to Hank after clinking her glass to Alice's. "I did read and study his material though when I was in college myself years ago. So, I instantly recognized him when he came through the doors. That and the blue fur." She says with a giggle.

"So, I asked him to sit with me and eat and we got to talking and he asked me out." She looks happy as her hand slides into Hank's, giving his furry mitt a squeeze. ".. How old are you by the way? It's hard to tell, you know." She giggles. "I don't see any gray in there."

Red has posed:
"Him? Icecream? Are we talking the same Dr. McCoy? Him leaving his lab on time to meet normal opening hours is somewhat rare." Alice chuckles nodding at the recognizeability of the teacher. "But yea, he's like instantly recognizeable and a huge boon to the X-gene carrier cause. I mean, there's a lot of papers from him about that topic, but I hardly read any. I'm not a bio student at all."

"Me? Gray hare is like two to three dozen years in my future I hope! I mean, helloo? They don't serve me alcohol." Alice remarks with a wave of the wrist that has the band for below-21. Which incidently is made from some plastic sheet with a plastic rivet.

Beast has posed:
The blue teacher seems quite content, drinking his frozen cocktail and holding hands with Sandy. All in a mutant friendly atmosphere. It is a good evening. "Sandy and I get along wonderfully. I'm so happy that we found one another." Hank was so tired of being alone.

As the ladies discuss him Hank chuckles once more, but refrains from commenting. He knows he's kind of famous, but chooses not to let it change how he acts.

Sandra Billings has posed:
"Oh, I meant Hank. I actually don't think we got around to telling each other our ages." Sandy says with a laugh. She brushes her fingers along Hank's arm a bit. "I'm twenty-seven." She says as she gives him a grin. "I have you pegged for maybe thirty?" She ventures out with a lift of her brows.

"He is definitely recognizable. So, are you .. a mutant also?" She asks Alice as she tilts her head curiously towards the younger girl.

Red has posed:
Alice lifts a finger at the word mutant. "No, I am not an 'an unpleasant and frightening thing' or anythign else. I am X-gene carrier. Mutant is a derogative." She sighs a little. "In the end we're all human, no matter how we look or what we do, branding people as different valie is how fashism tried to justify genocide more than once. Calling X-gene carriers abberations is what the Purifiers want. We are not abberations, we are people."

Beast has posed:
"You're absolutely correct," Hank says to Sandy with a grin. "A fine, fit, athletic thirty."

Alice's words catch him slightly off guard. He listens to her speaking for a bit before his head tilts slightly to the side. This seems like one of those things where it's hard to make a comment on. So Hank doesn't say anything about that. Instead he gives Sandy's hand another squeeze.

Sandra Billings has posed:
"OOoh.. kay." Sandy trails off as she gives Hank's hand a squeeze in return. Well, that sucked the air out of her. She takes another long sip of her margarita, a /long/ one. Slurrrrrp. In fact, she kills it with one drain. Clearing her throat, she leans over and pecks Hank on the cheek. "Blueberry, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, then maybe we can hit the dance floor." She says as she slips off the stool and ambles off in the direction of the signs.

Red has posed:
Alice smiles a little forced, sighing to herself. "Did it again, right? killed the mood because that silly word is like a trigger. But dang, it's like... like... if a person of color calls themselves with the n-word! Not ok!"

Beast has posed:
"Sounds good, cuddle buddy!" Hank says to his girlfriend as she heads off towards the restrooms. Then he turns towards Alice and nods his head, "I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not honestly sure where to draw a line. I'm not much of a philosopher or sociologist so the terminology used isn't something I'm normally concerned with unless it's obviously used in a derogatory fashion."

Red has posed:
"Isn't like you grew up in M-town and had to endure people in class using it to diss the obvious X-gene carriers..." Alice shrugs. "Sorry for being a PITA about that, but it's something I really don't like to be called."

Beast has posed:
"I can appreciate where you're coming from, Alice," Hank tells the young woman with a nod of his head. "Is there a term other than x-gene carrier that you prefer? It fits perfectly, but it's a bit of a mouthful. Could call them X-Folks, but then it sounds like there's another superhero team out there."

Red has posed:
"We used X-ers at times in school, Or positives, from X-positive, carrier... you name it. But really went out of the way no to use the term Mutant because it was super excluding to us." Again she sighs, taking a sip from her spiced tomato juice. "Too bad I forgot to get rid of this..." she admits, waving the wrist with the below-21-wristband.

Nightingale has posed:
     Even on the occasional day off, a certain winged teen might be found kickin' it at the club, keeping her ear to the ground and just enjoying the music--or, on occasion, making some herself. In this case, it's more of the former than the latter, as she is seated at a table nearest the as-yet empty stage. Oh, there is the keyboard, the drums, a stool, a mic, and various other things for an open mic night, but this early in the afternoon, there is as of yet no need for sound checks.

     So Shannon is simply sitting by herself, in what for her is a surprisingly daring outfit. She has on a black spaghetti strap tank top that has a low-but-still-modest neckline, a low back to allow for her wings, with a hem that flutters in the slightest breeze less than an inch above her belly button. Paired with that is a long pair of low-rise jeans that end with retro flares to the cuffs, and a pair of black wedge sandals. She has on the wristband marking her as a youth, and not seeming to mind it one bit. It just means she has a large root beer float and a huge plate of stuffed potato skins all to herself, as she simply minds her own business. For now. Only for now....

Sandra Billings has posed:
Heading back from the bathroom is Sandy. She's lost a bit of her pep and spunk from earlier. She also took her time while she was in there to freshen up. Now that she is out, she weaves through the crowd of dancers until she makes her way back to the bar to sit at Hank's side. She reaches for a chip, popping it into her mouth before waving the bar tender down to refill her blackberry rita'.

Beast has posed:
"I like positives a lot, it's a very positive way to look at ones self," Hank chuckles a bit at his own bad joke. Then he looks at Alice's wrist, "Just make sure that the staff at school doesn't hear you say anything about drinking. They're a bunch of sticks in the mud."

"Hello, my dear. Welcome back." There's a smile on his face that slowly shifts to a look of concern, "Is everything alright?"

Red has posed:
"So are they? With the thought police around we can't uarantee not to be watched over anyway." Alice says with a chuckle and wink. "But really, I don't mind to wait a little, just some months anyway."

As Sandra appears, she nods, then gives Shannon a short wave wile telling to the teach and nurse. "Seems like an angel dropped to visit us today."

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon just gets one of those little smiles on her face, the type that usually betokens the gears in her head turning a mile a minute. Someone was bound to be in trouble, by the looks of it. And, by the way her gaze was heading, it was not going to take much to guess just /who/ the targets of her mildly mischievous machinations were.

     Putting one finger to her lips as she glances over at Alice, she shakes her head ever so slightly, rising from her seat in one smooth motion and sashaying over to the stage. Right then and there, she climbs up on stage, sitting down at the keyboard and pulling the mic over her way. The staff of the club seem to take it all in stride, leaving one with little doubt this is far from the first time she's done sound checks.

     But never had she put them to such purpose as now.

     As she looks straight at Sandy and Mr. McCoy, the first gentle, sweet notes of a classic ballad ring out, bringing something of a hush over the room as the mood shifts from bouncy and electric, to contemplative and downright romantic. The little Cupid!

"Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you...."

Sandra Billings has posed:
"I'm fine." Sandy assures as she curls her arms about Hank's strong arm and leans herself into it. "Just enjoying the music." She assures as she reaches for another chip with one hand, then pops it into her mouth before returning it to his arm. She looks upwards to the stage as it appears Shannon is going to put on a show. Her brows raise.

"Oh. Did she mention she sang?" She asks Hank in a soft voice before she looks back to the stage. When the angel begins to sing, she gives a smile, giggling as she recognizes the older song coming from a young voice.

"Aw. My parents got married to this song." She says as she gives Hank a tighter squeeze.

Beast has posed:
"Once you've reached twenty one I'll be sure to buy you a drink at your party," Hank says to Alice with a smile. "That should be a fun event."

As the music starts to play Beast looks up to the stage to see another student present. He chuckles as he listens to the words being sung, giving Sandy a return squeeze to demonstrate his affection for her. Then he suddenly lights up, moving to his feet. With a deep bow he extends his hand towards his date, "Shall we, my dear? Cut a rug, that is?"

Red has posed:
Alice chuckles a moment as Shannon starts to play some love song and reaches over to snatch a tissue from the bar, then seeking in her purse a moment, manageing to bring up a water bottle from PET. Within a few moments the white paper has turned into a box, while the empty water bottle ends as a transparent ring with a sizeable gem in it. Just enough time in the song to make the arms for an offer, right? Because if Shannon needs to play Cupid, Alice so is going to arm the poor doctor with the arms surely missing in his pocket. And if it's an origami-box with a plastic ring.

Nightingale has posed:
     Score! It seems Cupid's arrow has hit its mark, as the good doctor rises to his feet to invite his lady love out onto the dance floor. By now, a drummer and bass player have joined Shannon on stage, figuring it was time for a sound check and why not? A guitar player soon follows, with each part melding together in sweet harmony. A light, gentle drumbeat keeps the pace of the song, while the bass adds subtle support, and the guitar weaves its own harmony throughout. Shannon's eyes light right up as she sees the mischief Alice is up to, but the show must go on--so instead, she continues to sing in her sweet, silky alto, and gives no outward indication that she bears witness to such sweet shenanigans as the song continues.

"Look into your heart
You will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am
Take my life
I would give it all
I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you...."

Sandra Billings has posed:
Reaching out to take his hand, Sandy gives him a smile, then leans in to press another kiss against his fuzzy snout. "Of course. I'd love to dance with you." Smoothing down her black dress, she lets him lead her out to the dance floor. Curling her arms around his neck, she steps into him happily so that the pair can sway about slowly to the beautiful sonnet sang by Shannon.

Resting her cheek against his shoulder, she sighs happily as she half-lids her eyes, fingers playing with the blue fur along the back of his neck. "I never went to a school dance." She admits with a giggle. "This is as close to one as I think I'm gonna get."

Beast has posed:
As he dances with his paramour Hank sighs happily, his chest rising and falling as Sandy is pressed against it. "I'll take you to the next dance I get invited to. And all my fancy affairs. I've got to show up with a beautiful woman on my arm, after all."

The blue guy doesn't move much as he dances, preferring to just hold Sandy close to him.

Red has posed:
Alice smiles some as she waits for the song to end, armed with the little box in her hand. Or rather fist, because she had plans to arm Hank with the ring if needed... or once the two stopped dancing. Well, why not do Airmail if the music stopped? Yes! just little toss... Just need to tell them he drpped it, right? Hey, when else do you get the chance to orchestrate something that might be taken from a movie?!

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon can't help smiling at the pair out on the dance floor as they, among other couples now pairing off, take advantage of the music to dance together. The familiar bridge of the song comes up with the piano part blending in more, and the classic haunting, wailing guitar solo ringing out true. The pair had taken the hint, her mission was accomplished. And she was loving every minute of it!

Sandra Billings has posed:
Giggling again, Sandy gives Hank a pleased look on her face. As they sway in a circle, she pulls him a bit closer, brushing her cheek against his and reveling in how soft his fur feels against her. "If we find time to do it, I'll be there! Just let me know in advance so I can schedule it around my shifts." Being an ER nurse is exhausting and demanding. She may not have a real vacation for another twenty years at the rate things are going.

Maybe if Super people would quit knocking buildings over on top of people. That would be a plus.

As the song moves towards the end, she gives him a grin, then leans in to pull him into a kiss, one that is loving and passionate as her head tilts to the side. She has no qualms with public affection, but this is a moment she is clearly caught up in.

Red has posed:
Alice takes the end of the song as a chance to sneak up on the dance floor, working herself through to the two dancing from Sandy's side. Because it's after all Henry's duty to do that ring-thing. With the ring he 'forgot' at the bar, yes? Or whatever that was... eh... totally not a ring that Alice had just made frm a piece of bottle in a box that was a piece of tissue some minutes ago... Anyway, she's just shaking it side to side on the eye level of Hank, like an offerfor him to take.

Beast has posed:
As Sandy starts kissing him Beast returns the affection with his own, not hesitating. Either he's forgotten that he's in public or just doesn't care, so caught up in the moment is he as well. As the kiss ends he opens his eyes to look into Sandy's, sighing happily. "You're wonderful. You make me happy."

Alice is just in line of sight, holding something up for him to take. Not having any idea of what it is, the teacher extends a hand towards the item, looking quite curious.

Nightingale has posed:
     With the end of one song comes the beginning of another, this one even a bit older than the last. Shannon's fingers fairly dance over the keys as the drums and guitar fade, and the piano solo takes center stage once more. It sounds like a classic Bonnie Tyler ballad, its sweet and haunting melody filling the room. Each note picks up in strength and volume, till the winged teen's voice rings out with the old, familiar refrain.

"And I need you now tonight, And I need you more than ever
If you'll only hold me tight,
We'll be holdin' on together
And we'll only be makin' it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do
I'm always in the dark
We're livin' in a powder keg
And givin' off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight...

Once upon a time I was fallin' in love
Now I'm only fallin' apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart...."

Red has posed:
Alice hands the little box to Henry with a little comment. "You lost that at the bar..." before rereating into the crowd - just so that he couldn't protest. Yes, set up your teacher! Best plan ever as she moves over to Shannon giving her a wink as she starts a new song.

Sandra Billings has posed:
Once the kiss breaks, Sandy's cheeks are burning hot and she is feeling giddy. She stares into his eyes, her hands sliding along his cheeks before she bumps her nose up against his again. "You make me happy too." She says as she continues to sway gently with him, giggling. "She's a good singer too. I'm really glad that we came out."

When Alice comes up and states that he left a box behind, her eyes move over towards it curiously, then back to him as her brows lift up and her eyes widen. She finds her throat tightening with a bit of a squeak. "I.. um..."

Beast has posed:
Looking at the small item in his hand Hank says, "I don't recall having anything like this. Must be something I'd left in my jacket pocket accifetally." Popping it open to see a ring inside the teacher freezes. No idea what to do. Gulping deeply in his throat he has to take a few seconds to formulate what to say in this situation.

Nightingale has posed:
     Ever the consummate performer, Shannon just continues on with her song. But the way Mr. McCoy and Sandy both just freeze actually drains the color from her face for a moment. This was /not/ what she'd intended at all! If it worked, great, but if not, well... something told her the pair could expect a tongue-lashing when they got home, and detention for who knows how long!

Sandra Billings has posed:
The eyes from Sandy move from Hank's eyes to the ring. Her eyes blink a few times slowly, then slowly glances back towards him. She swallows tightly and takes a step back. "Oh. Hank. I.." She trails off, then reaches out for his free hand to give it a squeeze. "Listen. I like you. I /really/ like you. I um... I don't think I'm .. ready.. and it's only been a couple of weeks since we started seeing each other." Her heart is racing, emotion crossing over her face. She gives his hand another firm squeeze. "You mean so much to me. I just don't want to mess it up. Okay?"

Beast has posed:
The item in his hand nearly falls out of his grasp when Sandy starts speaking to Hank again, "I'm so sorry. I literally have no idea where this came from." Well, he's got some kind of an idea, but he doesn't go looking for Alice right away. "I truly enjoy being with you, but I don't believe I'm ready to get married yet, either. We've still a lot to learn about one another."

Red has posed:
Alice eyes the two, and when the whole thing deails and doesn't go like a movie, a little frown works into her face. Comeon, that had been a flawless execution of all the parts needed for a perfect romance movie scene! Why is nothing ever going as planned?!

Nightingale has posed:
     The winged teen on stage finishes her song, and looks... crushed. Positively, absolutely crushed. And embarrassed as all hell. As Shannon slips out of the chair at the keyboard and shuffles off the stage, she just looks at Alice and... facepalms. The classic, 'What were you thinking?' kind of look.

Sandra Billings has posed:
Swallowing, Sandy lets out a soft breath. "Oh." She says, glancing to the ring, then back to him. She weighs his words. Was he going to propose and now he's lying? Was this really a mistake? Was he being set up? She squeezes his hand again and leans forward, giving his cheek a kiss. "It's okay then." She says with a soft clear of her throat. ".. I think.. I think that's all the dancing I have in me tonight. I think I'm going to head home." She says as she leans in to give him a quick hug. "Thank you for bringing me out tonight. I really had fun and your friend is a great singer."

Beast has posed:
"Um," Hank starts to say something but stops himself, looking closely at Sandy's face. "I don't know what to say other than that I'm terribly sorry." The hug is returned, "I too have had a wonderful time. I look forward to seeing you again."

Sandra Billings has posed:
"It's okay! Really." Sandy assures Hank as she gives him an awkward smile. She peeks up at him, then leans up on her tip toes again to give him another kiss, one that she ensures lasts for a few seconds before she peels back. She mouths something to him before she turns and heads off through the crowd, letting out a heavy breath as she gives one of her hands a bit of a shaking out.

Red has posed:
Alice sighs as the two start to obviously not do the lovely dovely thing, workign her way through the crowd a little closer. Comeon, the ring is PLASTIC, not metal. A PET Ring! She can do this, right? Fix it? Somehow... eh.... melt the ring back to something different... A button? Nono... A Rose! Yes, just a plastic rose... eh... that's going to take some time... Which means that Alice kind of stands there, some five feet away and staring at the ring as she works on remolding the former bottle into an intricate flower...

Nightingale has posed:
     With wings drooping, Shannon slumps at the table she had been sitting at previously, thinking for a moment to at least finish her snack before heading out. But her appetite's ruined for even that. A quick word to one of her fellow servers gets the potato skins put in a box to go, which she picks up, and heads towards the door. She only pauses to shake her head at Alice, caught between embarrassment, sorrow--and positively looking daggers at her.

Beast has posed:
"Well, I'll walk you outside," Hank says to Sandy as he moves to do just that. The small box with ring in it is dropped into one of his jacket pockets for safe keeping. And analysis later, though he has suspicions as to where it came from.

Sandra Billings has posed:
Reaching out to take his hand, Sandy curls her fingers up with his as she leans into him. Despite the downer in her mood, she isn't going to abandon him or his feelings. ONce they are outside, she takes the keys out of her wallet for her car, then turns to face him. She brushes her fingers along his red shirt, then tilts her head a bit. "You can come over tonight when you're ready. Just message me and I'll stay up, don't got work in the morning." She leans forward to give him another kiss. "See you later, Blueberry."
