Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Austin Dallas had been promised by Supergirl that she would pass on his information to the Titans. That maybe they could help him and vice versa. Yet somehow he never expected contact until he was asked to come to Titan's tower one evening. He was nervous about it for hours, finally showing up in his standard "Crime fighting" attire of a Gotham Knights hoodie and dark jeans... As for the monkey? Tina is wearing a white blouse, blazer, knee length skirt, acessorized with glasses on a small chain, a tiny briefcase, as well as pearl ear rings (They are clip ons... and fakes... but still).

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r is sitting at the table, a folder of paperwork open before her. Wearing her usual purple 'battle uniform'. Sitting on the corner of the table is a sleeping.... worm-thing... the size of a corgi, drooling onto a placemat laid there apparently for that purpose. She smiles as Austin enters right on time. "Mr. Dallas. Please, have a seat." She then squints. "You have an interesting..." She trails off, trying to think of a word. "I believe 'asisstant' is the word." She wonders if the monkey will see the Silkie.

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Austin Dallas smiles a little bit, trying to act natural... Actually no, the natural reaction would be to shriek like a girl and dance around. He tries to act calm. He takes a seat and smiles a bit as Tina leaves her perch on his shouler to look carefully at the worm thing... And perhaps wisely decides to let sleeping Silkie's lie and stay far away from it. She does smile at Starfire though. He grins a bit, "Yeah, tina figures she is the brains of the operation..." the monkey chirps once at him and he adds "And the beauty." He says getting an affirmative nod from her.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r raises an eyebrow. "Very well. Your... assistant... is intelligent? You can understand her words? I have the Silkie, but he's just a pet." She reaches over and scritches the 'worm' behind the ears and it wiggles and drools a bit more. "I don't expect much, but it's something from home. Oh right. Forgive my manners. I am Koriand'r, or Starfire. Either way." She then turns back. "So. I was told you go by 'Sentinel'. Mind giving me a demonstration of what your capabiliteis are?"

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Austin Dallas smiles a bit, "Umm Tina is intellegent yes, like she is perfectly capable of understanding English and such. I don't really understand her, like I don't speak monkey, but we've gotten pretty good at interpreting each other." He considers a bit as she asks for a demonstration of his powers. "Well lets see..." He says closing his eyes... "There is a woman outside, across the street. She just dropped something, I'm guessing coffee since there was a splash and she used a particularly unlady like profanity..." He opens his eyes and looks around then gestures the Brass placard on the wall, visible but far to far away to be properly read at this distance. "That says 'For my real family, the Titans. May you always have a place to call home.'" he says considering, he glances at her making a face. "I'm gonna guess you had like a hot dog for lunch, because you smell like you ate mustard... like allot of mustard." He considers, "Umm taste and touch could be awkward to demonstrate... Also I do mixed martial arts of course.."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r smiles as she watches you. "Enhanced senses. That's interesting." She gestures to the glass on the table by her - that seems to be full... of.... mustard. She takes a sip of it. "I love mustard. It's the tastiest thing on this planet." She gazes at you. "Want a sip?" she asks as she gestures to the mustard. "It's French's yellow mustard. Dijon's more for sipping than drinking." She then gazes at you. "Allow me to demonstrate one of my own powers." She reaches out for the monkey. "Can you ask Tina to take my hand?"

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Tina sighs glancing at Austin and chirping slightly as she places her hand in the alian's. ~Honestly, why do they always ask you to relay messages to me? I mean I can understand people.~ She says amused even as she says it. Austin looks amused and actually does say "She can understand you, she just has trouble talking back." He says with a smile, watching the demostration curiously.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r blinks as she glances down at Tina. "I apologize, Tina. Most monkeys lack sentinence. I will never treat you like that again." She smiles softly. "A quite interesting young lady." She gazes back to AUstin, nudging the glass of mustard towards him. "One talent of my species - is that once I touch someone, I instantly learn their language." She then gazes at Tina. "Do you prefer to be spoken to like this, or in your own tongue?" She then gazes at Austin. "Pardon me. So - what would you bring to our group? How can your talents be used in a combat situation?"

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Tina blinks and then starts chattering at about a hundred words a second. ~Oh my god, you can understand me? Nobody can understand me. This is amazing. I love you. Will you tell him to stop leaving his socks all over the apartment? ... ~ Austin just grins slightly and shakes his head, "Uhh, thanks but no thanks?" he asks as he eyes the glass of mustard doubtfully. "I prefer it in more... uhh moderation." He says with a smile. When she asks how he can tactically be of an advantage to the Titan's he takes a deep breath. To be honest, this is the very question that's had him nervous. "Well as I said, I am really good in a fight. I have extensive martial arts training. And my enhanced senses allow me to detect things, usually before other's can. Like I might smell gun oil before they pull a gun, or I can hear a mechanism engaging some hidden access before the trap springs... I can read things that were written down like on a notebook ten pages deep... that's not so helpful in a fight but it's useful... I can umm hear heartbeats, so I know if someone is unconscious or playing possum. Or lieing versus telling the truth usually."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r smiles. "Yes, I can understand you - I'll tell him about the socks." She smiles as she pats Tina. "So - those are useful skills. Maybe I'll set you up with a training dummy so you can show me your stuff." She states, "Do you need accommodations arranged, or are you suitably housed while we discuss your application?"

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
~Oh, this is so amazing. Do you know how awesome it is to find someone who understands me? I mean he tries, he really does, but do you know how frustrating it can be when you ask someone to hand you the remote control and they hand you a banana? I mean seriously a banana? Like stereotype much? Not that i don't love bananas. Banana's are amazing..." Austin meanwhile just grins a bit, "Well I have an apartment in the city, but I would totally want to be closer... yah know if you guys decide you want me." He says with a large grin of his own. "when would you want to do the training sim?"

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r smiles softly. "We will stay in touch." She hands you a bright yellow business card that simply has the word 'Starfire' and a number. "I don't like bananas... they're bitter to me. Sorry, Tina." She hmmmmms softly. "If you have hero costume, bring it with you, or come in it. That would be better. If youd on't, we'll make you one. The question you have to consider as you leave is this - do you wnat your identity secret or not? I chose not - but others are more careful."

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Austin Dallas blushes a bit looking down at his hoodie. "I mean this is pretty much it... I don't have you know, a real uniform or anything like that." It's obviously a point of embarrassment for him. As for his identify he says, "well I don't mind if, you know, you guys know... Not sure I'd wanna walk down the street and have people recognize me..." He says simply as Tina's eyes go wide. "they are?! Oh you poor thing, that is horrible for you." The monkey actually patting Starfire's hand in consolation for her inability to eat bananas. It might be the saddest thing she's ever heard.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r glances at Austin, shrugging. "We'll arrange something. If you are going to reprsent us, you'll need a proper costume. I'm sure that we can fabricate something." She then states, "We'll be in touch."

Sentinel (Dallas) has posed:
Austin Dallas nods slightly and stands up, smiling as he offers his hand. "I appreciate it... And can I say it really is an honor to..." He's cut off by Tina shoving her way between them. She'd opened her little briefcase and removed a picture of Starfire herself and is holding it up. Scattered from the briefcase are other pictures of other heroines. ~Please, can I have your autograph? Please please please. You are so cool with the flying and the Zap! Pow!" she grins up at the womanhopefully.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r smiles. "Of course," she states as she signs the paper. "Perhaps once we get a costume for Mr. Daniels, we can make a corresponding one for you as well." She smiles as she shows the two out. "Huh. I wish the Silkie was awake to meet Tina," she muses as she returns to her room.
