---

Jessica Jones has posed:
People come and go, as they do everyday, it is New York after all. Angelo's Pizza has an advantageous location that see many of them stop by for a slice. Nothing really seems unusual, unless one were to avert their eyes upwards. Why? Because Jessica Jones is perched on a fire escape stairwell, even though the ladder was not forced down. She made it somewhere to 5th floor, and has a camera with a rather fine lense focused on an apartment across. Looks like she just might be spying on someone.

Kid has posed:
Angelo's pizza shop was also a great place to score food! At least in other ways. As one person set their pizza down atop their car to get their keys, Kid is merandering by. Without missing a beat, the gorilla in human disguise casually swipes the pizza, taking out a piping hot slice to eat. The unfortnate loser of the pizza looks up confused, turning all around seeming to be unable to take notice of Kid.
    Kid gives pause as he chows down on the pizza, invisible to his victem, but to no one else. As he senses minds and emotions he slowly looks up to where Jessica was and than across the street to where she was looking. "Hmmmmm"

Jessica Jones has posed:
Utterly unconcerned by the commotion below, Jessica is most certainly unaware of Kid and his actions, her eye is firmly planted in the viewfinder. Her finger snapping yet another picture, "gotcha, stupid perv, just because they keep the curtains wide open in the movies doesn't mean it's a great idea in real life..." she muses to herself, the job turning far easier than she anticipated.

Kid has posed:
Kid looks back to Jessica, back to the window and shrugs. The man he stole from goes back into Angelos pizza to (unfortantetly) get another order. As for Kid, not having much to do here, he simply moves on, mozeing down the street.

Jessica Jones has posed:
As Jessica prepares to leave, the bad maintenance on some of the older building shows, as in rummaging to place her camera back in its bag, she knocks over a weakened railing that falls down below, directly towards Kid. "Watch out below!" She calls out, not wanting to get a lawsuit on her ass for crippling some kid inadvertantly, knowing her luck, that's probably what might happen.

Kid has posed:
Kid looks up as people scatter, his eyes wide. Instead of doging out of the way, his instinct is to fall on his back and raise his arms and legs. While his illusions appears fully clothes - he actually wasn't wearing any shoes. So he uses his hands and prehensil feet to catch the railing. Moments like these he is dang happy he has some beastial strength to his limbs. His eyes were wide as he was stunned a moment. As the moment passes, he looks at the railing, and up at Jessica, back and forth. He tosses the railing aside people whispering and gaspinbg. Turning a dial on his watch he makes several quick gestures, signlanguage by the looks of it, and his watch speaks out loudly as Kid stares up at her "THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! TRYING TA KILL ME OR SOME CRAP!" he snorts disgrunted.

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica looks quite intrigued by the man below and his peculiar reaction, not to jump to safety, not to run to safety, but to fall back and actually handle the piece of railing without hurting himself. "Wow...you some kind of circus performer in your night job?" She asks aloud, before he snaps at her and she snaps right back, "don't blame me for lacking maintenance, I've no doubt the douchebag landlord is in charge of that mishap!"

Kid has posed:
Kid hand move quickly, the watch beeping out his meaning "Something like that." but when she makes the claim of the landlord he signs back "Least the landlord not dumb enough to stand up there in the first place!" as peole begin to crowd around him he looks agited and actualy snarls at them. The sound was far from human and they back up. And than he seems to freeze as he sees a casualty. His Pizza! Okay so he stole that, but still! He looks up his hands moving much more precisely now "Oh I so hope you are at LEAST going to buy me a new pizza. Preferably with anchovies...and lemon, and you not what else would be good.." he went from agited to enranged to contemplative. Blinking he looks up signing a question "Wait, do lemons even come on pizza?"

Jessica Jones has posed:
"Hey, this is a free country last I checked, I can go where I pleased in public..." sure a fire escape isn't normally included in that list of places one can go in public, but what are the odds that stranger would know that? Jess is speaking with enough authority. She gladly let's the conversation derail, even though it might cost her, "christ, did you pay more than a buck for that pizza? What are you a tourist or something?" Jess calls down at him as she starts moving down the stairs.

Kid has posed:
"When did private property, like a landlords fire escape on their building, start being considered public?" he signs out. So he may not have been in the city for long compared to humans! But he has learned a thing or two from T.V! Though some concepts did escape him.
    As Jess comes down he signs "Actually, I did not! It was a steal price wise" he makes an odd sound that was a cross between a chuckle and hoot "But no. Not tourist. Ummm...wait..." pause "...what is tourist?"

Jessica Jones has posed:
"It's outside, isn't it, genius?" Jessica snaps at Kid as she nearly reaches the bottom of the fire escape, making a simple jump the rest of the way to ground level. Judging by her surprisingly solid landing, she's not really scared of jumping from high places. She snorts when he admits it was a steal, "well, if it was a steal, do you really need me to reimburse you? Don't tell me you're a bum...you do work, don't you?" Jess continues to sound agitated, until he asked the unlikely questions and she just stares at him. "Drugs or alcohol?" She asks, having no doubt too much of either is the only reason for his question. "Anyways, it's someone visiting a place they are not from."

Kid has posed:
Kid rolls his eyes and signs "It is called an expression" as much as the watch does not donate tone, his body languaged suggested sarcasm. "And yes. I was eating that, and now it is on the ground, instead of in my stomech where it belongs" he seems saddened by this, and he was one of the few people who could pull at legit puppy dog eyes as he looks to the pizza. It wasn't even directed at Jess, for when he turned around his eyes were back to normal
    But at the question he seems confused "Neither? Well guess I do take drugs, brain releases dopamine, than there testerone, not to mention tripedzine...and not really like the smell of alcohol. Ohh... but let me sign you, fermented grapes are the BEST" he let out a squeel that does /not/ fit with his rather brutish exterior "Oh...man I can use some of those." he shakes head "Eitherway, pizza first, other questions latter. like what were you doing up there, for instance!" he begins leading the way to the shop, ignoreing the railing still laying there

Jessica Jones has posed:
"I got a better idea, champ," Jessica snorts, catching his puppy eyes at the pizza and not being impressed by those. She does, however, fish for her wallet in her purse, before handing him a 5 dollar bill, "why don't you go and get yourself another pizza and a soda, or whatever it is you drink, and I'll be on my way because I'm in a rush and don't have time for bullshit. That works for you?"

Kid has posed:
Kid holds the 5 dollar bill. The look of confusion on his face was evident. The way it scrunches up as if doing some deep level thinking and suddenly it brighten "Oh! This is used for paying!" he signs "....wonder if this gets grapes. of if they have fermented grapes"
    But curiosity wins out "What you in a rush for? Mabey ol' IronWood can lend you a hand. Got some skills up my sleeves."

Jessica Jones has posed:
Jessica arches a brow, considers Kid, and then says very coldly, "listen, 5 is way more than your pizza was worth, just take it and we'll call it a day. I'm a P.I., I wouldn't get involved with me..." she doesn't bother with introductions, she doesn't expect to bump into Kid again. She doesn't wait for reply, rather she hurries along on her way, heading to the nearest subway station.
