Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Beast, Shuri, Piper Halliwell




Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy is back in the city on what is happening to be a relatively nice morning. Very nice by New York standards. Clear sky, low humidity, 80 degrees. People are flocking out to the park to enjoy it, especially families. The hot dog vendors are doing gangbusters business. Especially the one Hank walks up to and orders four from, with a coke.

Shuri has posed:
Shuri, meanwhile, is getting in trouble. She's been trying to see more of New York, but it's hard to get a genuine experience when you're surrounded by bodyguards at all times. Her last trip to Central Park was...memorable, but still had Dora Milaje chasing people away at all times. So, today, she's snuck out from the embassy, and is minus her babysitters. Dressed like a regular young American woman, she figures she should just blend in.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper Halliwell, witch, cook, and demon magnet is in the park settling in with a smile. She's taking the park as a shortcut to the subway....but the scent of food got her interest. She too, waits in line by Hank to order a sole hot dog. And, yes, a Coke too. She likes the Park really....and is looking around watching everything going on with a grin. Piper didn't work the previous night, so she got a good night's sleep.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy carefully holds four hot dogs in one beastly hand, and the coke is opened carefully in the other. He steps out of the way to let Piper order, and starts munching. Looking around, taking in the day, he pauses, and chews slower, swallowing carefully. Looking right at Shuri, the big, blue man mutters "Well excuuuuse me Princess."

Shuri has posed:
...shit. Shuri looks surprised that someone pegged her, but there's no way the big blue guy /isn't/ looking at her. She looks a little pleading as she looks back to him. "Shh, please!" Of course, the accent once she opens her mouth only further pegs her as Wakandan. "I am trying /not/ to be noticed." So much for sneaking out.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
The reference draws a smirk from Piper as she orders, hot dog, check. The works? Yes. She does though order a fruit juice instead at the last moment then paying and being given her hot dog and fruit juice, she sits in the grass just a few feet from Hank and like him, she watches Shuri with a curious smile. Looking over, Piper raises the hot dog in a....sort of wave, and settles back, cross-legged and chews on her hot dog silently for a moment.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy glances at Piper to see if she heard him, and with a smile, he casually starts striding right to Shuri. Raising his hand with the coke in it as a sort of wave, he calls out "Julia, good morning. In from the Hamptons today I see? Glad you could come out today."

Shuri has posed:
"Julia" groans and almost facepalms. Of all the things she might be, a "Julia" from the Hamptons is not one of them. But, she'll put on her best American accent (protip: it's not very good), and smile. "It's good to be out. See things. See people. Even blue furry ones." Maybe she can pull more attention back to the blue guy than herself.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper, meantime has her phone to her ear. "Hi, yes it's Piper....oh good, Good, and yes you're booked for Sunday evening for a function. Really. You try to dress that up as a function when I know for a fact you just want to laze around, get drunk then trash the place? Oh no all I'm saying is you want to bring your friends, you pay for damages" Piper says.

She then slides her phone back into her pocket with a look and shakes her head, looking to 'Julia'. Piper's not stupid enough to follow Hank's lead. She is though curious about that girl.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy grins. "Come on Julia, that's all you've got for your old pal Hank? Would you like a hot dog? I have extra." He snickers, and leans forward a little to mutter "You looked uncomfortable, so I thought I'd boost your cover, Princess." before straightening back out and saying loudly "Where you headed? Need any help?"

Shuri has posed:
"Julia" smiles a little. "I would love a hot dog." she replies, while replying sotto voce "Thank you. I am trying NOT to turn this into a media event. Or have my guards find out I was out without them." Rocking the Princess Jasmine today.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper looks over with a raised eyebrow then steps over with a smile. She's dressed casually, jeans, her usual top and her hair down arown and freee....still she glances between the others and stays put. She's not about to cause an international diplomacy row by stepping too close to anyone, really.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy gently puts his hand out to Shuri, holding out one of the three remaining hot dogs. "Help yourself. I know the world of international travel agency is big business. I'm sure you have people flying everywhere. England. Japan. Wakanda." Wink.

Shuri has posed:
Shuri manages not to facepalm again. Her famously isolationist nation doesn't DO travel. No one gets in. But she smiles again, and takes a bite of the hot dog. She'll even give a wave to Piper. More people in this conversation may be some verbal chaff.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper nods at the wave and comes over. "Hey" she says finally and salutes with her fruit juice.with fruit juice. Verbal chaff, extra talk. Piper's got her own secrets to keep and she's at least not royaltyy. Not in the traditoinal crows and tiara sense. Still she does smile at them both.

"So what's up?" Piper asks...being way too alert for a New York morning.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy looks at Piper, looking her over. Given how she looks that's not a chore anyway. "Good morning miss. Just two old friends chatting. I met Julia at Empire State. She was studying African History, while I was studying Biophysics." He snickers. "When we met, we were both at the library, and the elevator shut down. At 3am. We were stuck in there, with no air conditioning, for 6 hours. It was awful, but only now it's funny."

Shuri has posed:
THAT marks the best decoy she's gotten so far. Shuri smiles. "Just out people-watching. Thought I would get a little fresh air this morning." Or what passes for it in New York City. It's nothing like home. "And at least I had an easier time than you." With the fur.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper looks amused, "People watching is fun. I get to do that from across the river in New Jersey though" she shrugs and looks amused by the idea. "You see all sorts in New York City....and Bloodhaven" she explains with a knowing smile.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy downs a third dog. They do disappear quickly at his size. Then sipping his coke. "Jersey. On a day like today, I can't blame anyone coming across to Central Park. Do you even have Parks in Jersey? Apart from the parkway that is."

Shuri has posed:
"I know it's called the Garden State. Presumably that isn't just to be ironic." Shuri adds, as she takes another bite of her hot dog. "Though I've heard of Bludhaven. Nothing good to say about that."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"Actually...yeah. But they're small" Piper points out. "Then again I live in the worst bit of Bloodhaven, Avalon Heights" Piper shrugs looking over them both, sipping her fruit juice. "We got parks out there but nothing like this. I wanted to come here to relax and reconnect with nature" Piper points out with a nod. "I'm Piper" she nods, offering her hand....well...the one that's not got juice in it.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy has no hand available yet, one with the last dog, having eaten two and given one to Shuri, and one with a coke. So he shrugs, and grins "Hank McCoy. Good morning. Speaking of the park, why don't we go over there, to that tree with a bench under it. Better than standing out under the sun, since Julia's right, the fur does trap the heat."

Shuri has posed:
Shuri actually feels a little guilty, as she offers her free hand to Piper. "Julia." She dislikes lying, but one does what one needs to. She'll then nod in agreement to the idea of the bench, and starts over that way.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper shakes the hand and nods to Hank. "Sure, it looks like a nice placce to sit and talk doesn't it?" she asks with a nod to the bench and tree. "Do you want any more hot dogs or...?" she asks and looks over to the vendor for a moment then.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy chuckles and raises a finger. "Actually I do, good idea. You all go on ahead and I'll catch up." He then goes back to the stand and orders four more... and another coke.

Shuri has posed:
Julia starts over towards the bench, and then stops, frowning. Perceptive eyes might notice the symbols on the beads of her bracelet light up for just a moment. "Sorry...I just realized, it's later than I thought. I'm going to have to run. Good seeing you!" And with that, the girl will start off with a purpose. If someone's calling her on the kimoyo beads, it's important.

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper shakes her head as Julia runs off, though she won't turn down free food. Instead, Piper's greatful for free food, and then some. "I'll take a hot dog please" she nods with a pleased look. Free food is best food. Given she owns her club...that's not a shock.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy chuckles. "Julia was always a busy one. Natural born leader." With a grin, he hands a hot dog to Piper the same way he gave it to Shuri. Just holding out that hand for her to take one. "Ahh, it is a decent day today isn't it? Nice weather."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper nods and takes a hot dog. "Hey thanks, you ever in Jersey, drop by my club" she offers with a nod before biting into the hot dog with a smile. Piper though is happy with the free hot dog, she's still got her fruit juce in her other hand, too.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy slowly sits, making sure the bench is going to handle his weight first, though. "Oh really? Thank you. What kind of club is it?"

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper leans against the tree, behind the bench. "It's P3. Nightclub, you may have heard of it since we geta lot of bands. Dingoes Ate My Baby are playing at the weekend, for example" Piper nods. "I run it, with help.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy nods. "Dingoes Ate My Baby. Youknow, they found proof that woman was telling the truth. Awful story." Then pausing to eat. "That must be young people music."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"They did" Piper says and looks thoughtful. "Young people music, like....early 20s age wise. College kids" Piper nods. "See, I'm past college but get a lot of people like that in my club. Makes for good business mind" she admits with a nod. "Just....gets tricky when people decide they're bailing, right?" she asks and chews more on her hot dog, sipping her juice. "So what're you up to, aside from being out for a walk?" Piper asks.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy sits back, and quickly wolfs down another hot dog. Starting to fill up here now. The large shoulders roll. "Ido have a talk to give today. Otherwise I'm just enjoying that I have no classes to each today, and that the weather is nice."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"Ah, you're a professor, Seee, why couldn't I have met mine at Garden State then when they were out for a walk and food?" Piper asks. "I'd have totally done better in school" she mock whines, "I still got my degree though" she whispers and sips her fruit juice looking amused. "I mean, I always got told professors shouldn't meet their students outside of school hours, ya know?" she asks.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy grins. "Techically these days I'm a high school teacher, but I have been a full university professor in the past. What did you study?"

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"Accounting" Piper says dryly. "Then, I became a chef and club owner. Funny how that works out isn't it?" Piper asks with a knowing smirk. "I got my catering business too ya know, it's there, it brings in money for my family" she adds with a laugh. "Though come on, I hire guys who deliver all over the area. Flying pizza delivery, or food box deliveries get real interesting" she nods

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy chuckles and nods. "A chef and a club owner. I don't see anything funny or weird about that. Not being able to run numbers is what kills most restaurants. So congratulations on having the skills to beat the odds."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"Yeah but it was boring" Piper says gentltly. "I don't doubt it is really useful but...." she sighs. "Just so boring in how it's taught though" she admits. "It's an interesting subject, but it's taught so, so wrong" she muses and sits by the tree, leaning against it. "High school teacher, what do you teach?" she asks.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy laughs. "Some people find money very interesting. Others find it terribly boring. Some enjoy working with the numbers as a puzzle. I Guess that say sommething about you, that you find money boring. I teach Biology. My doctorates are in Biochemnstry and Biophysics."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
"Ah!" Piper nods sagely with a smirk "Biology teacher. The one 'ology'" she says with air quotes. "Where you can't burn things or throw things at people and say it's an experiment" she adds with a smirk, "Not that I did that of course. But" Piper admits, "Others in my class did. So I know first hand how boring biology can be....again, if it's taught wrong" she shrugs and laughs. "You sound like you teach it right mind" Piper adds with a nod. "Good job"

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy sits back and hums. "Thank you very much, Piper. I do try. These kids, a lot of them don't have anywhere else they can go, but the Xavier Institute. So I feel like i can do a lot of good for them, and I do what I can."

Piper Halliwell has posed:
Piper nods, "You're doing a great job, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise" She nods. "World needs more people like you" she adds and looks serious.
