Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
When it comes to Gotham General there are two types nights experienced within these halls. The ever so rare quiet ones and, pretty much every other day. The persons here are in luck as the rather quiet emergency room wait area seems to signify that it IS one of those rare nights.

So this is why we're going to pick up this scene and shifted over down aways from the ER and instead set it down here.

Welcome to Gotham General's cafeteria! Home of -

Well food. And the answer to where all the people have gone. The tables are notably full save for one table that conveniently sits six people. And it is over there that one Nick Drago carries a tray holding a sandwich and a cup of coffee.

Yep. That's some heavy lifting there.

Harley Quinn has posed:
In a strange turn of events, somebody dropped off like 50 premium turkeys. Sure, they were going to some rich idiot's personal party.. and now they are here feeding the hungry people trying to get better and the people trying to make the better at the hospital!

     There is Harley talking fast to the head of the kitchen." look, I dunno why they told me to bring the turkeys Ahh, just did enjoy them.. they free... No, we don't need any tax right off. Ah don't do taxes.. Do you do taxes, kitty? " She asks selina.

     She just grins and runs over to start handing out the wonderful turkey and fixings to people waiting in line. " LINE UP FOR THE GOODIES IT'S FREE!" she shouts .. and well, the clown girl is looking positively festive today.

X-23 has posed:
Laura Kinney is wearing a grey hooded with XAVIER'S printed across it, pulled up and with the drawstring pulled to hide part of her face. Her hair is dark black and hangs a bit out of where she finally loosened it to eat, framing on either side of her face. Her posture is hunched and not particularly friendly. She has her hands in her pockets and a tray in front of her. She could've wired for money, plenty of people she knew would send it. But she didn't ask. She was hungry, here was food.

Well. The mashed potatoes weren't exactly potatoes. So foodlike.

The clown girl catches her attention, sullen eyes shooting a few daggers. She suppresses the growl at least..

Red Hood has posed:
The hospital isn't the place a person wakes up and decides to visit let alone stop in for a bite to eat. Fortunately for Jason Todd, his visit wasn't due to personal health. He wasn't entirely happy to be here; hospitals make his teeth itch. He just finished delivering three sacks of toys for the children's wing. To that end he wears a santa hat, a black jacket over a red hoodie, and faded jeans.

His mission successful, he arrives at the caffeteria. Why? Because there is really no other place in Gotham that can make banana pudding halfway as delicious as they do here. They even put those vanilla wafers around the edge of the bowl. It's tasty. Even if it's just pudding from a #10 can probably left over from the Korean War surplus. Don't ask don't tell.

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman is not so obvious as her partner-in-crime, but it doesn't stop her from going back to old habits, bad or not though they may be. As Harles chats everyone's heads off, she leans against a nearby door, smirking. "Riiight. Free." she nods, stepping towards her, "Need a hand serving those turkeys? Just tell 'em Santa's 'elves' dropped them off!" she grins and winks.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
To the shouting, the rockstar turns his head to look in Harley's direction. His head tilts curiously but he turns back to the table to set his tray down. Seems a lot of Christmas events are going on today. Seems Santa lost one of the elves in the cafeteria.

Tugging out the chair, Nick plants his butt down into the seat. Feeling a buzz in his pants, he reaches down to fish out a phone.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Starts handing out the gourmet food with glee! Giving people big plates of food " Merry Christmas," She says brightly every time.. and somehow you know she believes it!

     A little sick girl even looks up at her with a big eye. " Are you an elf? " She asks, and Harley flips over the counter from the back to land near the girl and crouches down. " Oh no.. I'm no elf.. but I have met some.. I've met Santa too," she says brightly. " So I just try, and help out a little " She winks before she gives the girl a big slice of pie.. before she goes back behind the counter. and looks to Selina " Told ya it was worth it " .

X-23 has posed:
Laura Kinney folds her legs underneath her and keeps her distance, for the moment. Jason gets a sharp look, the smell of gun oil evident and recent enough on him. That and his body language show him to be dangerous. And he's not the only one. The assassin's programming in her tells her that this is a surprisingly capable gathering in the hospital cafeteria. Gotham is a strange place.

She keeps working her way through her food, keeping her head down. Ready. Just in case.

Red Hood has posed:
Jason Todd enters through the other set of doors to the cafeteria as Harley begins handing out... turkeys? Well that's unexpected isn't it? So really what the woman does best. In the dictionary her picture is the definition for Spontaneous, Zany, and Unpredictable. Insane has a secondary definition that suggests checking those three words for more details.

But at least she's stopped hanging with the clown.

Moving over to get in line, Jason's gaze catches some of the others present. Selina is here? Now it seems like he should be worried. At least Ivy isn't here as well. He hopes.

"Hello Harley. Nice to see you. Doing good suits you" he offers pleasantly. As much as the usually scowling and angry version of himself can be pleasant.

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman peers at Nick, probably recognizing him from somewhere or other. TV maybe?

When the girl asks if Harley is an elf she chuckles, "Oh yes, we are both magical elves come to bring good cheer!" she winks and pats the girl's head.

Glancing around, she seems to be keeping an eye out for...Someone or other. "So then..Don't forget to save some for us too, hmm?"

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
As Harley moves about distributing food, Nick glances briefly before looking back to the phone. Both hands occupied with the thumbs moving along the screen, he types in a response to a message before hitting send.

As Nick slides the phone back into his pocket, he glances back over Harley's way. Well. It seems the little girl is appreciating it at least. Although with the exception of the yelling Harley did earlier, he's not quite privy to the conversation going on NOW.

With the flashiness aside, it takes a moment but the rocker gets the sense of being looked at. Head turning, he catches Catwoman's glance. Brows raise.

...Ok. It's well past Halloween and they're in Gotham so- granted he got shipped out of Gotham years ago but that doesn't mean you don't hear about some of the characters that have popped up there since you left.

...Is that Catwoman?

Head turning, he checks to see if there's anyone else she could be looking at in their vicinity, but upon only seeing the hunched Laura nearby he looks to her, and then the Xavier's shirt.

Well...It's possible.

"By any chance do you know her?" Nick asks Laura curiously.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Blinks and looks at the guy talking to her, then cocks her head " Woah.. Pixar's Anger .. hey big guy," she Bounces over to give him a hug " Yeah.. I love Christmas," she beams a real smile! " I got kitty to come help spread some cheer ".

     She leans over to whisper into Jason's ear, " Hey, careful about the tiny hunched girl over there.. crazy killer recognizes game," she says

     She eyeballs the guy talking to the girl, giving her dangerous vibes back .. But she gets distracted by handing out more. Turkey bits.

X-23 has posed:
Laura Kinney barely flicks her eyes over at Nick, "Nope," she says, then flicks her eyes back to Jason. "Maybe him. But not quite. Not sure why," she says. Because he shares some overlapping smells with Tim Drake and him she's met. Mostly to be chastised not to kill people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She knew.

"That clown keeps eyeballing me. You better have my back if she jumps. I ain't going to no psych ward in Gotham."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman barely notices Laura or even knows who she is, until Harley points her out..But that's not what has her on edge. It doesn't take long for her reason for suddenly tensing up to quickly become apparent as two uniformed cops step in to the cafeteria. It's not uncommon to see police patrolling the hospital, although these two seem to be looking for someone..Or some ones..And as they spy Harley and Catwoman, they make a beeline for them.

"Cat Woman and Harley! You're under arrest for breaking and entering!"

The second peers around at the turkey being served. "Are you kidding me? They *served* all that stolen turkey?!"

Catwoman hisses, backing up next to Harley. "They found us..."

Red Hood has posed:
Jason Todd nods to Harley, "... right.." he muses quietly about Laura. He spares a look toward Catwoamn since Selina is in her Work Clothes, "... is she being on good behavior?" he looks back to Harley dubiously. he then adds, "I was here dropping off some toys from the Wayne Foundation for Bruce" because face it Bruce probably doesn't even know about the toy drive. At least in public.

"... I stopped in because they have amazing banana pudding here. Guilty.. pleasure.." he looks back to Catwoman as it seems the local boys in blue have laid eyes on her. A glance back Harley, "Think we should do something?" he wonders quietly.

Admittedly he'd like to see what happens when Catwoman gets herself out of this situation...

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
As Laura indicates more towards the guy talking to the woman, Nick glances his way as well. "Maybe he's got one of those faces..." He wonders to Laura before her comments regarding Harley causes for him to look back to Laura.

Ah. Clown.

Yeah that makes more sense than elf in Gotham.

"Do you think she's likely to attack you?"

Whatever the answer is, with the entrance of the police to the cafeteria, the musician's attention has shifted back over to the trio near the turkeys. "...Seems like they might be otherwise occupied soon though."

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn looks over and puts her hands on her hips " Oiy.. We didn't do nothing. Why is it any time there's a crime, you come at us eh? You got any proof? " She asks, stomping over towards the cops " Well? " the blinks " A witness says you two drove off with the truck.. " She frowns " Do you see the truck here? " She asks, crossing her arms " Do you have a picture? Cause thier lots of people who dress up in this town, could be anybody! "

     the short fat cops starts to sweat.. even as the other cops " Even if it's them they gave away the evidence Carl" . He rubs the back of his neck. " Do we wanna be cops that took stuff from a hospital? " .

X-23 has posed:
Laura Kinney grabs her tray and picks it up, rapidly moving towards the trash and the exit.

"Cops. Clowns. This town sucks,' she says, dumping her leftovers as she looks back at Nick.

"I'm gonna go fall asleep on a train heading north. Maybe I'll wake up in New York."

Red Hood has posed:
Jason Todd stands still as Harley goes to Catwoman's defense. Better that it's hear anyway. At least they're known to (sometimes) travel in the same circles.

Drifting toward the food line, he quickly procures two bowls of pudding. Hey he's a big guy.

As he moves to pay, still keeping half an eye on the situation with the cops. But he turns toward Laura and Drago, apparently hearing Laura's comment. He nods, "It's the water." That causes the city to be crazy. He's mostly joking. But only mostly.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick watches as Laura picks up her stuff and she makes her argument for going to New York. "So long as it's Westchester and not New York City." Nick replies, seemingly not as concerned about the police presence here. Their cops are worse." He shakes his head, lifting up his cup, "These ones at least show up."

Giving a sip, he enjoys his cup of coffee, likely brewed with Gotham water.
