Date of Scene: 01 July 2017
Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Catseye, Molly Millions, Invisible Woman




Catseye has posed:
Seeing a cat about Central Park is not the oddest of things, sure, squirrels are likely more common. But this one cat tends to grab the attention more so than any other, purely for it's unusual color of fur, being entirely purple. She seems aware of her uniqueness, sauntering about with her tail perpendicular, making sure all can witness the glory that is her.

Molly Millions has posed:
Molly Millions is... well, not soaking up the sun. In fact, she had her head tilted back for a while to peer in the direction of that summer sky and it's burning orb like somehow, somewhere, she'd been betrayed by the glory of it all. Certainly, she's not pleased about the concession to the weather that includes going sleeveless. The missing weight of her pistol an absence she hopefully wont regret later. She's ostensibly in the park to enjoy the scenery, shoulders stiff with reluctance and the iridescent nature of her arm tattoos and those silver lenses probably making her stand at least somewhat... but compared to Catseye? Forgettable. Overlookable, and she actually reaches a finger up to tap her temple near the lense just to make sure she hasn't managed to fry a circuit in the sun.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Another good thing about Central Park is that it's just a hop-skip-and a jump away from some of the best and brightest of the world. One of them being Susan Richards, who happens to be sitting on a bench, watching a little girl squeal and play around the kid's park. Of course, when she plays wh the other kids, she wants to play 'superhero', and wants to be 'Medusa'.

Catseye has posed:
When she looks about the park, Catseye notes someone big and famous! Or famously big. Or bigly famous, however humans choose to construct their silly words. Sue Storm! She's with the Fantastic Four. Curious, as cats are wont to be, Catseye dashes towards the bench Susan is sat upon, but doesn't pounce at her. Instead she comes to a sharp stop right infront of the bench, looking up at Susan with her golden eyes, studying her closely, before jumping up next to her on the bench. "Meow," she offers in some kind of greeting. She's learned to avoid freaking out from the get go by talking human. At least while in what she considers her true form.

Molly Millions has posed:
Molly watches Catseye with the furrow of her brow, then down at her hand, and at the grass, doing a quick visual check before looking back to the cat. It's sufficiently curious, it seems, for the pale woman to elect to head in the direction of Sue and Catseye unhurriedly, if only for the closer look at the visual oddity.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Sue looks over at the cat, glancing occasionally over at her daughter and her playing 'Medusa', before starting to pet the unusual cat. "Well hello there. You're an unusual color too, aren't you. Hmmmm...." She says as she strokes the cat's back. She looks at the cat's ears, tail, just about everything. "Well.....I could search for a scanner in my purse, but you probably wouldn't stick around to have strange sounds going off near you. Oh well....." And she pets along the cat's back...

Catseye has posed:
Catseye seems to be lucky, Sue turns out to be a real good person, which in Catseye terms means she's pro cats. The free petting is a sure sign, as Catseye moves into the stroking hand, enjoying herself. She certainly looks far too well groomed to be an alley cat, but then she has no collar nor tag, but she does offer, "her name Catseye," once she's decided Sue was a good person, and likely wouldn't freak out on her. "She come see ThereNotThereGirl. She famous, Catseye want meet, yes?"

Molly Millions has posed:
Molly notices Sue largely as an extension of Catseye's presence, not having had much opportunity to catch up on the who's-who of heroes as yet. The slender woman in black comes to lean against the outside of the railing for the childrens area. She's oblivious as to how suspect that simple act might appear to others. Left to stare at the cat curiously from behind the screen of her lenses as she endeavors to decipher it's unusual coloring.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Sue jumps at the cat talking, but doesn't run away. "So not only are you an unusual color, you're an unusual cat. That works." She then tilts head. "ThereNotThereGirl, huh? You must mean Invisible Woman. That's me. I guess you're Catseye then?" Molly has drawn Sue's attention, but it's was more of 'Mom' sense than anything being a superhero gave her experience for. "If you want to call me famous, then I guess. We just help people." She says to Catseye.

Catseye has posed:
"Yes!" Catseye seems mighty pleased that rather than freak out, Sue seemed to have gotten a grasp of what Catseye is! "Catseye not scary, she just special!" She nods as Susan picked up on her name, at least as Catseye puts it, "ThereNotThereGirl, famous! Catseye see on lookingbox!" Looking aside towards Molly, who Catseye already picked on from scent and hearing, she calls out, "girl looking from rails, is ThereNotThereGirl famous? Yes? She knows?"

Molly Millions has posed:
There's a distinct pause from Molly,"...Did that animal just talk?" the question is ostensibly for Sue, accompanied by the point of her finger in Catseye's direction as the slender woman elects to push off from her spot and prowl over towards the two, apparently distracted enough by the first comment to not even try to decipher the question as to Sue's fame.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "it's no different than the Skrulls taking Alicia's place to destroy the Fantastic Four." Sue says with a sigh, and she looks at the Cat. "Don't worry, Skrulls try to maintain their cover, no matter what." She then tilts her head. "And yeah, the cat just talked." She's still petting the cat though. "So, Catseye.....What brings you to the park. I don't think you were looking for me initially." She then looks up as her daughter seems to be sliding down the slide.

Catseye has posed:
"She is Catseye, not Skrull, her name prettypretty," Catseye seems a bit dejected at potentially being confused for a Skrull, whatever that may be! Either way, Sue is still petting her, so everything is quite perfect. Curling a bit against Sue, Catseye yawns at first, before explaining, "she look for happyfun things! Look at girl looking from rail, then she see ThereNotThereGirl, come look famous girl. Yes? Very happy she like cats. Cats are best."

Molly Millions has posed:
"Suddenly I understand how others must feel when I talk." Molly utters drily before adding,"And just to confirm... it is actually purple, yes?" because that's the important question, at least to her apparently. Evidently feeling okay with inviting herself to the conversation by prowling over and settling on her haunches without reaching to interfere with the petting,"ThereNotThereGirl?" is asked of Sue with a faint grimace,"My apologys... I don't... know who you are?" there isn't a hand offered, in favor of settling her elbows on her knees comfortably.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Sue chuckles a bit. "it's all right. I don't expect everyone to know who the Fantastic Four is." She still hasn't stopped petting Catseye. "I'm Susan Storm-Richards. Catseye keeps calling me 'ThereNotThereGirl' because my 'superhero name'..." Yes, with air quotes. "....Is Invisible Woman."

Catseye has posed:
"ThereNotThereGirl very famous hero," Catseye explains to Molly, looking her over curiously, "GlassyEyes not know? It's okay, Catseye very smart. Knows lots. Emmamother good teacher."

Molly Millions has posed:
There's a long moment where there's little other than the reflection of Molly's lenses as she endeavors to gauge Sue's sincerity,"...but you're visible." she points out,"At least to me and the purple cat." and clearly from the way she gestures with her thumb and the curl of her lips, she recognizes that doesn't exactly make a high bar, from the slight shake of her head electing to discard it in favor of,"What would you prefer to be called? I'm Molly. Molly Millions." there's the tilt of her head as her lenses dip to focus on Catseye,"Yes, you are." she elects to agree primly, with all the solemnity she can manage right now.

Catseye has posed:
Catseye turns to look at Molly, mighty pleased with her assessment, "GlassyEyes agree?" She seems taken by surprise, and very much excited that someone wouldn't refute her claim of cleverness. "GlassyEyes very smart to know that. Many smoothskins think Catseye stupid, because they not smart. GlassyEyes want to be her friend?"

Molly Millions has posed:
"Certainly." Molly agree's in that same placid tone, likely there's a full diagnostic in her future, but still,"You're the smartest cat I know." she flicks a bit of dandelion fluff from the knee of her jeans and runs the hand up her arm with a testing grimace before enquiring,"Is it always this hot in this town?"

Catseye has posed:
Catseye looks utterly ecstatic at Molly's remark! She is the smartest cat Molly knows! That is quite the compliment, of course, humans for the most part don't always manage to understand just how clever some cats are. Not the way Catseye can tell, after all, most humans don't understand their language. "GlassyEyes now very important friend for Catseye, yes? Friends is good?" She nods at the question, "sometime hot, sometime cold, always fun."

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "I know I'm visible..but...." And just like that, Sue fades from sight. "Not now." So she truly is the invisible woman.

Molly Millions has posed:
"Sure, little purple cat, I'll be your friend." there's that same solemnity to it, even if Molly figures that a full diagnostic may be in order, there's little but the sheer straightness of her expression to suggest so. But then there's Sue fading out of sight and some mental point of 'newp' crashes its way into the cyborg's brain,"Right." because 'don't let them see you panic' is a thing for her, even if she can't quite help wetting her lips,"If you will, uh, both... excuse me. I think I'm overdue for an engagement." with a mechanic. Or a bottle of gin perhaps. Evidently content to slink off without so much as a proper goodbye.

Catseye has posed:
"See? Catseye tell truth. ThereNotThereGirl!" Catseye cheers as Susan displays her ability to Molly. She also leaps off the bench to go and rub against Molly's legs, "happyfriend, she is happy. Make more friends, more play, less boring. Clever." As Molly announces she has to go, Catseye moves away and announces, "everyone go, yes? Catseye go too, hunt! Yes, very good hunt!" At that she dashes away herself.
