---

Human Torch has posed:
Look around, it is a fairly busy small and intimate restaurant. You see East Village locals all around, some reading, some on computers, some chatting with firends but most on their cell phones.

At the counter is Johnny Storm and for today, he is keeping a low profile. Not normal for him so he must be in a mood -HOWEVER- he loves his falafel and sits chatting with the counter person, a friend it seems, and waiting for his order.

"Could you add a lentil soup to that please? Thanks Man."

Kid has posed:
Through the door comes Malcolm. He looks around not exactly having the friendliest mug on him. But none seemed to pay him any mind. He casually walks past a few areas looking over the stuff, his hands just behind his head. As he does so, a few bread items seem to inexplicably dissappear. Few if any notice this. Handy thing about illusions, your hand can look like their in one place, when they are infact doing something else.

Unfortantely, what he really wants is behind the counter. He gets in line behind Johnny storm, rubbing his beard. Though looking at Johnny chatting up a storm, his hands begin to move in sign-language, the watch on his wrist speaking up to translate "How long will this take?" he signs bluntly.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm does not kow sign language and the person behind the counter looks at Kid strangely prompting Johnny Storm to turn and look. Jah'Storm smiles and says lightly, "Hey man, I don't think that this dude knows sign language, but I know a little bit," he says but realizing that speaking may not work.

"You can read my lips right?" he says very slowly.

Kid has posed:
Malcolm rolls his eyes. He turns up the voloum of the watch on his wrist. He once again signs "No, I do not read lips. And evidently, people are deaf. That or this thing is on the fritz again" he contemplates new parts. Still he continues to sign as his Watch does the speaking "I had asked how long this will take"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm considers that watch and says, "That's cool, how much do you want for that?" then turning to the guy at the counter he says to him, "I guess he is in a hurry," turning back to Kid he says, "They are usually pretty good around here. Shouldn't take to long. Have a seat man, check out the menu. Good Stuff here....good stuff." he slaps the stoll next to him.

Kid has posed:
Malcolm signs "Touch my watch, I rip your arm off" which may be a mistranslation. He even seems to fiddle with it a bit after it says that. After he bangs on it, he signs "It is not for sale." None the less he accepts the offer of the stoll and takes a seat. Stretching, one can see a 'gun' holster within his trench coat, holding a crowbar. He signs "What good stuff, do you get?" he seem to have zero recognization of who Johnny was.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm points to the menu, "Falafel, Lamb, Beef Gyros," the menu is above the workers head. "I mean, almost anything you want, 'cept for burgers, I don't do burgers you know...not good for you."

"This must be your first time here."

Johnny notices the gun holster but that is none of his business...at the moment.

"Where are you in town from?"

Kid has posed:
"Not my first time" he signs "But I do not tend to stick around for longer than needed." he grins his large sharp canines "I tend ta make folks nervous"

He eyes the menu and than looks back to Johnny signing "No where really. Live on the streets" and for a person living on the streets, he was quite well dressed.

"How bout you?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm throws up two peace signs, "NEEEEWWWWW YOOORRRRKKKKK YOOOO."

"Well, not NYC but upstate homie."

He extends a hand, "Johnny Storm, my friends call me Jah'Storm. Nice to meet you,"

His falafel sandwhich shows up and he unwraps the foil and takes a bite, "Well, all I can say is that this place is the bomb."

Kid has posed:
Kid shakes the hand before returning to signing "I will stick with Johnny" he signs. He hardly knows the man...

Actually, there is ZERO recognition in the name Johnny Storm. Non. Zip.

Kid than signs "I am Malcolm 'Kid' IronWood." he looks around "This place does not smell like a bomb. No chemicals, wires, or anything like that" he signs seeming to take it litterly.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm smiles, "Smell a little bit harder," he laughs and tosses a thumb at Kid like 'this guy'

"You really don't know who I am huh?" he tosses another thumb at Kid like 'this guy'

"Well, I am the coolest and hottest member of the Fantastic Four. You know, I just work at being cool and stuff."

"Are you sure you don't want to sell that watch?"

Kid has posed:
Kid takes a big wiff and signs "banana bread...oat and nut, chicken soup, chowder...no. No bombs" he signs seeming quite sure. But at the mention of the fantastic four he gives pause as he signs "Fantastic four?" a loooooong pause.

"Is that the hero group with some glorifgied rubber band, A living rock, a tiny sun, and an some person you not even see? And no. My watch"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods, "Hah hah. I am going to call Ben a living rock and HAHAH a glorified rubber band, I can't wait to use that," he slaps his knee, "You are alright Malcolm. You are OK. And am a sun. You are correct."

Kid has posed:
"Gonna call you Sunny than" he signs. "Though not really get what is funny. Just calling it how it is." his lips do curl in a grin though. Malcolm knows what he didn.
    "Well Sunny, how bout a deal. we play a game of heads or tales. If you you lose you pay for our meals. If I lose, I pay" he signs, a spar of mischiev in his eyes. He even breaks out a coin, seemingly out of thin air.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods, "A coin flip? For who pays?" he pauses to tilt his head, "OK but you didn't order anything," and then he shrugs, "Umm..OK."

"I'll take heads. Good luck Malcolm AND I kind of like Sunny. Not as cool as Jah'Storm," he shrugs again.

"Where'd that coin come from?"

Kid has posed:
Kid signs "That cause I am still waiting for my turn, hence why I am sitting here" he notes "...no offense. Jah'Storm sounds stupid" he signs bluntly.

"And...well...magic. Got many tricks up my sleeve. Here, check the coin out yourself and even flip it if you do not believe me" he says "Lots of folks be thinkin a magic man is a con man"

Human Torch has posed:
"Jah'Storm. Is. Cool." Johnny says, "Plus it's unique and iconic."

Taking the coin he looks it over, "Magic huh? You do magic? Can I hire you for my next birthday party?"

He hands the coin back, "I trust you bro. Flip away."

Kid has posed:
"It as cool as a sun...oh wait, suns arn't cool" Kid signs. "But guess it is unique" as he takes the coin back. he takes a moment to sign "Sure. Want me to make a dragon appear?"

And with that, he flips the coin, high up into the air. It spins as it comes down and clinks on the counter top. It slows down, and falls with a metalic ring - Tails.

In truth, it was just another of Kids illusions. But he has had his practice doing both large and small illusions

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm watches the coin and shrugs, "Whatever," he hands his card to the counter guy.

"You can make a dragon appear? Cool, I will look you up. I could totally use a dragon at my birthday party."

Taking another bite of his falafel sandwhich, "What are you going to get?"

Kid has posed:
Kid blinks slowly "Look me up? That may be hard to do." he admits. "Hell, I do not even own a cell phone."

He stares at the menu a moment and signs "....give me..." he points to a tub of black peppers "Two of those! And lemons...they got lemons here?" he asks seeming suddenly excited. He swipes the coin flipping it into the air and catch it in a sort of 'AHA' way

Human Torch has posed:
"Lemons and Peppers?" Johnny repeats. "O. K."

"Give him what he wants," Johnny says to the guy at the counter.

"You really aren't from around here are you?"

He takes another bite, "Can I get an orange soda please?" he orders.

Kid has posed:
Kid signs 'That depends on how you define 'from around here'" he happily takes the peepers and lemons. Sure he was given an odd look, but he didn't even notice.

Instead he CHOWED DOWN! He was eating peppers and lemons whole, raw and without a hitch of a problem. He even emitted pleased grunting, showing he was indeed capable of vocalization...but choose not too.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm moves his chair away from Kid just a bit, "Lemons and Peppers, wow."

"I don't think I have ever seen that before. Wow. And I mean not from around here. No one eats lemons and peppers by themselves."

Kid has posed:
"Well, I assure you I am from earth! I never seen a person on fire before...and your from here." he signs between bites. The peppers and lemons didn't stand a chance and were gone in moments. he wipes his mouth on his sleeve. "Thanks for the grub bub" he signs "Your not too bad"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm gives thumbs up.

"ooooooOOooo I don't know many aliens. Are you sure you are from here, like earth?"

"That would be kind of cool and yeah...I can turn on fire when I want. Meh."

Kid has posed:
Kid lets out a wicked burp. After patting his stomech he signs "Yes, I am from earth. But you can say I am a hobo. I travel, I eat, I sleep. Nothing to it" he grins as he signs "Just be careful...they say the brightest stars, die the fastests"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm snorts, "Me??!!? I am going to live forever dude. And if you ever need a place to crash, let me know huh? I have plenty of space," with that Johnny presses the counter to stand and says, "And I am sure that I can find you if I need you for my birthday. later dude."

Kid has posed:
Kid gives a two finger salte "Thanks, I will keep that in mind." he grins. A free meal and some free bread. Not a bad day at all1 And much as he wont admit it - Johnny was pretty cool
