Doctor Strange has posed:
    It's a rather gorgeous day in Manhattan, the wind is blowing faintly and the smells of fresh bagles and the sun is slightly hidden behind some whiffs of some clouds. At one of the local shops sitting on a wire frame chair, Stephen Strange has his leg crossed and is enjoying a panini with a few pieces of chicken spilling out from the back side of the sandwich. He pops a proper news paper as he reads the tiny print with a pair of readers on the edge of his nose. Stephen still keeps up with the current times in the oldest of ways at times.

Black Panther has posed:
A well-groomed black man walks down the street, wearing a white and black sweater, not bothering with a coat today as the sunlight and the lack of too much winter wind has made this a pleasant enough day for New York this time of year. The sidewalks are clear of snow with the recent sunlight. T'Challa's hands rest comfortably behind his back as he seems to just be taking in the sights, or perhaps is waiting for someone. He pauses to observe the area, and then moves over to get in line at the counter. "A cup of coffee please," he orders, his accent unusual to most, a blend of African and Oxford English.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
And here's a sight, well she can really just be heard first, heavy unshod hoof falls can be heard, before Kae, currently a rather large draft-based centaur can be seen trotting down one of the jogging paths... Of cours a trot or even a low gallop can actually make her far out-pace most normal runners, as evident when she slides to the side while trotting and those hoof beats become slightly less heard and more felt...

It's as she spots a familiar face reading, Kae veers off one of the jogging trails and slows down to a slow canter as she makes her way in Strange's direction, Soon enough she's slow trotting then walking, plodding along on four great big, feathered hooves.

When closer to the stands, she notes the food and then veers off again, making her way to the place Strange got his Paninni, probably the oddest thing may be the fact that folks seem to kind of ignore Kae... Or at least not be really all that disturbed by the fact there's a near 1 ton horse-woman nearby.

Amethyst has posed:
Exploring more of New York, Amaya doesn't scream magic princess. Well, she does ping of magic but at least she's dressed like a normal person. A thick long pea coat in purple with black slender pants and boots to keep the chill out. The blonde looks at the coffee shop with interest, lingering outside for a long moment as she weighs entering or not.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Strange lowers his paper as Kaelyn trots up as it's hard to ignore the large woman, and then he looks inside and is surprised to see a somewhat familiar figure. "T'Chala?" He asks himself with a raised eyebrow, the wizard is wondering what is going on that has the Wakandan in New York and so casually. Stephen's eyes start to dart around looking for some hidden security, but he doesn't spy any immediately but he does feel that odd sense of mysticism coming off of Amethyst and he decides the paper is not going to be read, not this afternoon. he slips it under his plate and speaks up, "The coffee is drinkable, but the sandwiches are devine, and don't let the centaur scare you off, she's just enthusiastic about her grilled breads." Stephen says with a smirk and a wink towards Amethyst.

Black Panther has posed:
Black Panther is indeed in New York. Though it seems slightly less casually than his original stroll suggests. As Kaelyn comes trotting out of the park, a woman on the other side of the street suddenly sprints across through traffic, dodging cars. A pretty black woman with long dark hair.

T'Challa sees her and gives a soft shake of his head. Okoye reaches his side, putting herself between T'CHalla and the centaur, but not otherwise being aggressive. "Okoye. I believe this is Dr. Strange. He does not seem concerned. But thank you for looking out for me," he tells her. "Against my orders," he adds. Okoye avoids meeting T'Challa's eyes, but her expression suggests they were stupid orders, even if she would never voice that opinion.

T'Challa turns towards Doctor Strange, though also eyeing the centaur. "Yes, hello," T'Challa says, offering Doctor Strange a handshake. "I see that unusual things happen in your presence, as I have heard," he adds with a soft chuckle.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae sees the woman, pausing right before she orders... Of course the poor kid she's about to order from is now looking up to her and has no clue what to do with her....

Kae looks from woman to Strange, to T'challa, to magical princess, then back to the kid. Food is more important.. "Soo yeah, that really big party sub ya make... two of em please." This gets a look from the kid and a few other people behind the counter.. "What I'm hungry!" She says, and oohs "Yeah, 2 gallons of your iced tea please and two large bags of chips.." Kae smiles cheerfully as things are rang up and pays for them, before stepping away from the counter with her first pitcher of tea...

Kae can't help but hear T'Challa and smirks "Nah, the unusual thing happened to me, but definately not in Dr Strange's presence." She says with a slight smirk... "Needless to say, watch out for Christmas Imps when it's the season and you own a magical supplies and enchantment store and all." With a tail whip she turns away from the ordering window and nods to Okoye, smiling "Howdy." She says simply.

Amethyst has posed:
Looking from Doctor Strange to Kaelyn to T'Challa the blonde smiles. Amaya winks back to the Doctor and tucks her hands into her pockets. "I'm more mystified about the food honestly." She notes and passes the two men to go order for herself.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Strange starts to stand up when someone starts to react negatively towards Kaelyn and thankfully, there's no direct action taken, and Strange slowly lowers his hands, the spell he was preparing fades away without any muggles noticing the encantation. Stephen lowers his hands and dusts some crumbs off his lap as he gives a soft nod and bow towards Okoye, and then spots the extended hand.

    Stephen respectfully shakes T'Challa's hand with his own scared and slightly trembling hand. "It's an honor to meet you king." Though it might sound hollow coming from Stephen, as he's never really impressed with humanity after all his travels and trials, but he is respectful.

    Stephen takes his hand back and smirks slightly again at Amethyst, "Don't let me hold you up then, seems a party is gathering to enjoy a mid afternoon snack." The wizard smirks towards Amethyst and gets out of the way before returning towards his table and motioning for royalty and mythology to join him, and he decidedly does not go further into explanation at Kaelyn's words, as she's the expert in that case, he is not.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica's running late, as usual. It's never the same reason twice, however. Today, her hair dryer went kablooie, and she had to remember how to French braid her hair. And so she arrives, in an espresso dark brown leather blazer and boots, jeans, and a black sweater, light, with a bit of sparkle to the fabric. Along one edge of the neck, a crimson bodysuit can be glimpsed beneath. "T'Challa!" Jess calls out as she's crossing the road. "Sorry I'm late, you won't /believe/ what happened to m--Oh my GOD." Yep. She's spotted the centaur, and deadpans to T'Challa as she gawks, "Ok FINE, you win."

Black Panther has posed:
T'Challa turns from meeting Doctor Strange to look towards Jessica as he hears his name called. "Okoye, best to meet her later," he says to the black woman, who nods, looking towards Jessica briefly as she walks off down the street like she'd never been there. Okoye's expression more curious than anything.

T'Challa's lips curl in a lopsided grin at Jessica's comment. "Not my doing, so you technically still win," T'Challa assures her. He reaches out a hand towards her to join them, though if she does he'll then use it to motion to Doctor Strange. "Do you know Doctor Steven Strange?" he asks Jessica. And then the African man turns to Kaelyn. "Ah, yes. I am T'Challa," he offers, leaving out the other details as he offers an introduction towards her. He also glances to Amethyst, who just seems to be an acquaintance of Strange's, as far as T'Challan can tell. "Good day, miss," he offers to her.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae picked up on the King thing and ummms "Pardon for any lack of Decorum, so do I bow or offer a handshake?" She asks, kind of at a loss...

Her back left hoof lifts and rubs the inside of her back right briefly before she lifts it further and scratches at another itch, kind of like a dog might.. Only well much bigger.. Kae sighs "Scuse me.." She mutters and a quick whispered word or two and a wave of her hand and she sighs "Better..."

She then notices Jessica and the whole deadpan and oh my god comment... "Umm Don't know what he had to do with this... but yus, I've made a litteral horses p'toot out of my self." She says, then finally shrugging to her self she turns and offers a hand first to T'challa, then if her hand's shaken Okoye. "Kaelyn..." She says by way of introduction, her tail lashing slowly, seems it picks up when she gets a little cheerful...

She'll also offer one to Jessica too... "Pleased t'meet y'all."

Amethyst has posed:
Order placed, Amaya wanders back to admire the centaur a moment before looking to Doctor Strange and the others curiously. At T'Challa's greeting she nods back. "Hello. King...and T'Challa was it?" She looks from Doctor Strange to Jessica before looking back to T'Challa. "Good day to you." She looks to Doctor Strange again with a long study.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Strange allows the wackyness to happen around him and he simply finds his chair once more to find a place to sit down and lifts his panini to his mouth to take a silent bite. He doesn't push any buttons but he does nod to those who look at him when they try to greet T'Challa. He's not trying to get any one in trouble with royalty. But he is still trying to enjoy his snack.

    "So what brings you all to the Village this fine afternoon? We rarely get such a unique group at once in this part of the town unless the worst case scenarios are happening, but this does not seem to be the case." Stephen says with a soft nod towards Jessica, "We have not met, not yet at least."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica blinks once, slowly, and takes a deep breath at Dr. Strange's reply. "Of...course. A pleasure to meet you," she offers, as politely as possible. "I was just meeting T'Challa for a cup of coffee in the Village. I didn't expect this kinda circu--gathering. Of people," Jessica replies, correcting herself quickly. "It's a pleasure to meet you all," she says, looking around, and shaking the hand that the horsegirl offers.

Black Panther has posed:
Okoye has left, the woman heading out after T'Challa and she spoke briefly.

T'Challa gives a dignified smile to the centaur. "A handshake is fine. We do not bow," he tells her with a soft smile, and will shake her hand back. "I have not met someone like you before," T'Challa comments, eyes taking in the sight of the centaur curiously.

He looks back as Strange and Jessica have not met. "Please, Jessica Drew," T'Challa says, introducing the pair, having given Strange's name already. "Jessica has been kind. She has introduced me to a few American delicacies," he says. "I particularly like the chocolate banana shake we tried."

T'Challa looks to Jessica. "I was not expecting this either. Did you wish to get a sandwich here? Or was there another place you had in mind?" he inquires. He has a cup of coffee he must have just gotten.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Soon enough, Kae's distracted by the arrival of food, two large bags of it.. Basically 4 foot subs all cut up and stuff into sandwitches for an office party or some such.. Kae of course is planning on eating it...

Kae hears the chocolate bananna shake mention and smiles slightly "They have very good sandwitches here.. I oft use the jogging tracks to get some exercise in, and well hit one of the cafe's close by for food. 'Course some of the stuff I have on me makes folks remember a normal curvy redhead and not a curvy redhead attached to a draft horse." She says with a slight smirk... Kae then finds a table near the group and well 'sits down'

She folds her legs under her self and proceeds to unwrap one of the 6 inch long sandwitch bits...

At this point there's a chirp, and a tiny cat-size dragon climbs out on her shoulder.. Kae then sighs and looks "Yes Fahn I'll give you some of the bacon." She says to the tiny creature.. Oddly though, while its movements are completely organic, close inspection makes one think maybe it's some kind of mechanised creature, or magically mechanised critter? Fanh's eyes are seemingly made up of smooth polished included amethysts, and he has tiny little runes running down his spine and other joints that are just a slightly more silver color than the dark burnished bronze of his scales.

Kae then umms and looks up. "This is Fanhuil... Kind of a lucky mistake and all." She says cheerfully.

Kae then umms and holds up the bags "If anyone wants some it's good? Some of the best garlic bread subs around... I usually get the spicy italian sub sandwitch here..."

Amethyst has posed:
Doing a brief double take, Amaya smiles. "Amethyst. Hah. Nice touch." She tells the centaur as if she were a totally normal occurance and her dragon too. It's the sandwich she gets that makes her sigh with wonder. "Earth food." She croons softly holds onto the bag for later.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen smiles softly to the whole group and then Stephen closes his eyes and sighs to himself as his mouth moves but no words come out and after a brief moment, Stephen stands to his feet and as he rises, his clothes change from a simple cream sweater to the normal blue tunic, yellow gloves and a long and outrageous red and golden cloak.

    "It seems I am needed at the border between our world at the dark dimension again." Stephen says before he takes a single step forward and seems to fade away like a gradient disolves into dust.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica looks from the others back to T'Challa. "Perhaps we could discuss further combinations if we catch dinner and eat in the park. Or...the training room. But it's up to you. I could go either way," Jessica replies to T'Challa, watching the centaur dig into her sammiches.

Black Panther has posed:
T'Challa observes the small dragon, and takes a moment to glance around at the lack of reaction from the people in the area. "Very curious," he says quietly. As Doctor Strange departs in even more spectacular fashion, T'Challa turns to look to Jessica. "I can not imagine seeing that, would ever get old," he tells her.

"That is a wonderful suggestion. I brought something along to show you. If you would like, a quiet area of the park might do. To start," he says to the brunette woman. If that seems appealing to her, T'Challa looks back to the Centar and to Anethyst. "I hope that you both have pleasant days," he tells them with a little bow of his head before he'll turn to join Jessica in heading out.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae blinks, well she did offer sammaches... "Oh yeah, you two have a good time.. Welcome to swing my my shop any time you want. It's called the Enchanted grounds, over in Bludhaven... We have some pretty amazing coffees." She says cheerfully..

Kae notes Strange dissapearing and tilts her head.. "Well someone got busy all of a sudden." She mutters...

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
"He seems to've become a little...scattered...since last we spoke," Jessica observes quietly to Kaelyn. "Thank you for the offer, but I believe T'Challa and I have a few matters to discuss. A pleasure to meet you both," she says to Kaelyn and Amethyst. "Please, be well. I'm sure we will visit your shop!" And with that, Jess turns to go with T'Challa.

Amethyst has posed:
Nodding a little, Amaya watches folks move off and Kaelyn's pile of sammies. "Have a good day. Treat that amethyst eyed beauty well." she murmurs before wandering off herself with her sandwich in bag and coffee in hand.
