Harley Quinn has posed:
A blonde woman, late at night, is in deep concentration. The kind of concentration of a person who is trying to put together one of those 15000 piece puzzles that have no edges and no snapping portions. It's... maddening concentration. And currently this pigtailed blonde in denim shorts and a black and red plaid flanel, tied up to expose her midriff of course, is staring at this city sized chess board.

There's a person on the other side just facepalming, and he is waiting, and she's standing there, stuffing her face with a hot dog. And the guy goes to speak but the woman holds up a hand with a finger up. Then she slowly brings it to her lips. Letting out a loud, "Shhhhhhhh! I can hear ya thinkin'. Yer disruptin' my game."

The guy slumps and sighs, "Just move the pawn, do it. You'll have me in checkmate. Please?! We've been at this for over an hour and you've hardly made any moves. Please! I just want to lose and go."

Why hasn't the man walked off? Who knows, perhaps an altercation from earlier but he looks a bit wide-eyed, maybe terrified of the blonde. Then she walks up to the pawn and she quirks her mouth back and forth, finishing chewing down her hot dog before turning to her king that's nearby and tips the large piece over. "I surrender, ya win. Congratulations." A big smile on her lips and she wipes her brow, "Whew, that was a tough game. Ya can go now." And the guy just blinks, and then shakes his head, heading off. His friends murmur something about the blonde just showing off and is a crazy woman and all. As Harley starts to hum some 50s rock and roll, as she is going about liesurely resetting the game.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy was giving a talk today, it being the 4th, it was about the history of great American biologists. Coing out late, he swings by a park and orders a half dozen hot dogs from a cart. Holding them in one hand, and a coke in the other, he steps into the park, and sees a ... chess game going on? So the large blue man in a brown suit, with darker brown patches on the elbows, comes up to watch.

Danger has posed:
Walking up behind Henry, a girl with short brown hair, spiked up here and there, a button nose with slight sprinkling of freckles on her upper cheeks and ruby red lips smiles at him and then states, "That is a lot of hotdogs for one person." She nods her head and adjusts the softly yellow glasses she wears. A grey shirt with what appears to be a gorilla's face (that is seemingly wearing glasses itself) adorns the shirt and a pair of jean shorts adorns her legs. She follows the blue, furred man over to the chess board and looks at it, "And that is a large chess board." She considers and nods, "What an interesitng night this is." She then looks over to Hank, "Oh, I am bad at this. I am Danger though many simply have taken to calling me Daro."

Harley Quinn has posed:
It's an interesting pause as the heavily accented blonde starts singing a bit, "Earth angel, earth angel, won't you be miiiiiiine?" As she is continuing to reset the game. She's tipping up the large pieces with seeming ease, maybe they are hollow or something. Once she has all the pieces set back up she starts to walk back in the direction of the hot dog stand, "Greg, George, Jorge, or Smith. I ain't rememberin' yer name fella. But I need some more brain food, this time make it another veggie dog, wit' the spicy mustard an' sauerkraut."

When she stops to look at the blue man and his apparent companion. She tilts her head a bit, "Spiky hair ain't in season lady." And she gets her hot dog, which she hands over a gold ring for, and then she's walking back in the direction of the chess game. "You two jus' gonna stare or someone gonna die tonight?" A pause and chuckle, "I mean, ya are eatin' 6 hot dogs. That's dangerous, an' definitely ain't kosher. Undercooked pork..." A shake of her head, "Ya'd have ta be crazy ta eat tha'."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy is eating one hot dog after another relatively quickly, as he comes up to the chess board himself. Adjusting one piece after another with his feet, helping reset the game. "I have a strong stomach," he winks to the young woman. "I'll play. Name's Hank." Looking over to Danger, he consdiers her. "Good evening Daro."

Danger has posed:
A smile and she nods her haed, "Good evening, Hank." She then looks over at Harley and blinks, "I'm not sure I am capable of death, especially not by hot dog." She shakes her head as she approaches and looks over the board before looking to Hank, "Oh, you will be playing?" She nods her head, "You must have some talent at such a game to wish to play so readily." She then looks back at Harley before looking her over, "You seem familiar, I have been told though, that it is rude to look people up on the internet when they are standing right in front of me. I am Danger."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Well, the name is Harley, my friends call me Harley." Offers the blonde pigtailed woman. And she looks over Beast, "So, you get yerself bit by a radioactive Yeti or somethin'?" A bit of a shrug, "Ain't like I care, 'cept fer how dangers it is fer me." A bit of a pause as she eats one of the veggie dogs she got.

Looking over in the direction of Danger and she quirks her mouth, "Yer danger? Ya ain't seem so much to me. Don't worry though, it'll clear up, I'm sure. Jus' antibiotics, it's a good word." And she looks between the two, "So, the blue man group is up first? Winner takes all. Two players enter, one player... makes like a tree."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy first grins to Danger. "Nice costume by the way," he nods approvingly. "But I don't mind you looking me up. The wikipedia page is reasonably accurate. At least between Friends of Humanity vandalism attempts, but those stand out. And noI'm no chess expert, but it's all for fun right?" Then nodding to Harley, as he eats another dog prettyq uickly, then drinks from his coke. "No yeti. An experiment went wrong. You go first, Harley."

Danger has posed:
A look over at Henry, she considers and nods before she looks to the side and stares for a moment, "Dr. Henry Philip McCoy, MacArthur Genius Grant recipient as well as awarded the Nobel Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom." She then considers, "Mutant activist and member of the X-Men." She nods her head and hten looks over at Harley Quinn, "I do know you but you did not give me permission." She chuckles a little and then considers, "Was that a good point for a laugh?" She asks of no one in particular before tapping her chin and looking distant.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Walking over to the chess board, Harley Quinn thinks about her first move. Moving the Knight out from the protection of the pawns, it's a bit of an awkward motion since she's got to get one big piece around another large piece, but there's plenty of room after she picks the piece up over her head. These pieces, since Henry picked them up as well, aren't that light. They are meant to have people push/slide them on the board and have low-friction disks on the bottom like those used to move furniture.

Listening to the ramblings of Danger for a moment, about who this Henry McCoy fellow is, she ooohs, "A doctor? Doctor of what? We're in some high class company fer sure. I too, am a Doctor. Of Psychology." And eyeballing Danger she shakes her head, then nods, saying, "Yes, no." In reverse of her head actions. Then she offers, "Yer turn Doctor Experiment went Wrong. Or did it go very right? Hmm? Things ta think about. An' you..." To Danger, "Ya got some kind of internet gadgetty thingie. Ya can look me up on? Does it have a good picture of me?"

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy still has his hands full: one with three hot dogs, the other with a coke. So as he digs into a nother dog, and has his accomplishments read, he uses his nimble, bare, but massive feet to push a pawn. Swallowing. "Yes ma'am. I have doctorates in Biochemistry and Biophysics. And well, my experiment went right if you consider blue and fuzzy to be a success. Most... seem to disagree. At least I'm well respected in science though. What's your degree in Harley?"

Danger has posed:
"She mentioned Psychology and technically I am an internet gadgety thing that can be used to look up things on ya." She adds Harley's affectation to her words and then consideres for a moment, "It appears to have you in a picture with the man known Joker in some form of dance." She nods her head, "You are also wearing your outfit that you typically wear when you are acting as your alter ego by the same name." She then looks to Harley, "You are also not supposed to be out here, however, I am not currently acting in the capacity of law enforcement and playing chess is not against the law so I will not hold it against you."

Harley Quinn has posed:
"I did. An', hmm, ya are an internet thingie?" Harley walks up to Danger and spies over her, squinting, and getting really close. Then pokes the other woman right in the shoulder, before mentioning, "Are you one of them really interactive sex dolls or somethin'?"

Though she pauses an tilts her head, "Alter ego? I ain't got not alter ego. I'm many things but I ain't got no Multiple Personalities. I'm jus' me. Harley." Reaching up to scratch at her forehead a moment or two she looks over at Henry, "Is this thing yers? I was wonderin' what with you both bein' here at the same time an' all. I know that bein' blue can be a pain an' all, so companion dolls sure could help."

Moving back to the board she moves her knight forward again, placing it right in the way of the pawn. "Check, yer pawn. It's really close to my knight. Horses spook terribly."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy chuckles. "Right, psychology. Sorry. Been a long day and I'm juggling food and chess. Apologies, doctor." He emphasizes that last word, nodding to Harley. The rest of Danger's data dump makes his eyes, shift, and he looks to Danger, humming and having another hot dog before he consdiers Harley again directly. "No, to my knowledge Danger here is neither a sex doll, nor a possession of mine. He'll then defend the pawn, very slowly starting to develop in the chess game. "Joker, isn't he that guy who..." the man asks, gesturing in a vague rolling motion with the hand holding two hot dogs.

Danger has posed:
"While I am fully capable of such a function, I am by no means that." She states to Harley and when poked, Danger really doesn't move...at all. She's like a fixed object. Her skin feels normal enough but she's rather, well, heavy seeming. She looks over at Hank a moment and then back at Harley, "If you are attempting to embarass me, I lack shame. I apologize." She states, "Should I have apologized? Hmm." She then looks over at Hank and considers him a moment, "Murders people for his own amusement?" She asks and tilts her haed, "Is that what you were going for?"

Harley Quinn has posed:
There's a pause, and Harley looks between those gathered and she mentions, "Mistah J ain't a person who murders fer his own amusement. He strategically ends the life of someone else, fer the greater entertainment of those around him. As well as himself. It ain't as selfish as yer makin' it out to be."

Harley puts her hands on her hips and she continues rushing forward with the Knight piece. Clearly without strategy, even taking a pawn but putting it in the direct attack of a Bishop from Hank. "I wasn't tryin' ta embarass you. I got plenty of sex worker friends."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy is really starting to question whether he should linger longer in the park. But first, he finishes his last hot dog, andthen finally gets to use a hand to take back her piece. "Danger, when to apologize is whenever you feel it's right, or you've done wrong to another. You've done nothing wrong. And Doctor, have y ou consdiered getting back into science?" His chess play is defensive, listless, as he's more interested in the people, than in the game.

Danger has posed:
A look at each as they move the pieces and she simply considers the board before taking in a breath and letting out a sight. She clearly thinks both of them could do better and has seen enough of others using that sigh to express it to do it herself. She looks to Harley a moment before saying, "I suppose one can look at murder however they wish. It is still murder." She nods her head, "HOwever, that is not what we are here for." She nods her head, "Also, it is good of you to befriend those in such positions. Based on what I am aware of, they are not well treated by many."

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn continues to play. Not even offensively. She's sacrificing pieces without making many gains through the process. Though she smiles in the blue man's direction she says, "You've played this game before. I get it, you were hustlin' me earlier but now yer really putting me in a vice." As Danger talks, Harley Quinn waves a dismissive hand at the murder commentary and then adds, "I know, I'm a regular good samaritan." And a little shurg to Henry, "I dabble in the sciences still, here an' there. Makin' things, engineerin' an' all. Mostly work as a lab assistant fer some chemicals an' such. You know, till I can pay back my student loans an' all. Those things follow ya fer years." Turning to Danger, "Now, there's a crime ya can put inta yer database. Or... memory, or whatever ya got in there."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy is definitely regretting this. "Well, I hate to say it, ladies, but I need to get back home. I'm a teacher, you see, and there are students in summer school. I do hope you choose a better... more peaceful accomplice Harley. And it was nice meeting you, Danger. Good evening." He finishes his coke, and crushes the can in both hands.

Danger has posed:
"I will see about it. There are those that believe college should be free. I am inclined to agree." She nods her head brefore Danger nods to Hank, "It was nice to meet you, Dr. McCoy, you are an interesting person that I hope to meet with again." She then looks over toward Harley, "I am not involved in your game so I shall leave." She nods her head, "I should return to my home as well, though I hardly need sleep." She smiles to Harley, "If you wish to speak more later without involving crime, I will be glad to." She nods her head, "I can even show you my capabilities." She then turns to start off.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Everyone is leaving and Harley has many of her pieces taken so she quiets down. Not waiting till both have left yet, she moves from one piece to the next. Hiding behind each of them, lifting her legs up high and moving on her tippy toes forward, like some cartoon character sneaking about. The only thing missing is some high pitched twinkles everytime her toes touch the ground. Once she's next to Hank's King, she knocks it over and then turns. Laughing, she runs, "I wiiiiiin!" She hops over a bench, does a side ways flip over a couple and them bending down to pick up something they dropped. Sliding over a car hood she grabs onto one of those sight seeing buses coming back from a long day of travel, and hangs off the side. "I won I won I won!" Is heard from the distance.
