Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy is having a day off because it's Saturday. And so he dresses down a bit, and venture to the mall before going off on other adventures this evening. First, a strip to the food court, where he picks up three Hot Dogs on a Stick, and a large lemonade. Sufficiently armed with food, he stands at the map by the entrance there, trying to figure out what stores he needs to hit, while munching.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna exhaled a breath, a milkshake in hand as she sipped it, standing beside Hank as she eyed the rest of the food court at large. The green haired woman was dressed down considerably from anything she wore in Genosha, wearing a pair of black jean cut off shorts, a pair of flip flops and a black tank-top. She shifted her weight from side to side, peering around at the various mall-goers with vague interest. "Ya know, Scott got me all paranoid with going out to investigate things a few nights ago. Plus we ran into a few Friends of Humanity kids handing out fliers. That was pretty awkward, actually. They kept inviting me to church events. Or at least, me and Scott." She made a face, and pushed her hair back from her face with a huff of a breath.

"So, where did you wanna go? Bookstore?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy Thompson, resident walker, mechanic and all around trouble magnet's out at the mall tonight. She's taking off tomorrow for time out of the city. Whether that's seeing her old pack out west, or driving out to the mountains....she's got a list, and checking it several times. She's taking little chances....and has her Vanagon somehow fitting a packed up tent inside it, food, water, supplies. Now Mercy's on the second half of her expidition for finding stuff. The 'it is nice to have' phase

She's got her t-shirt on that states, quote, Happiness is German engineering, Italian food and Belgian chocolate.

She's got on loose jeans and sneakers, and her hair's untied and down. Glancing at her list in hand, Mercy's headed for the food court. Hungry 'yote is hungry

Plus with how good her nose is, Mercy knows exactly where the food court is. Not that she's trying to gatecrash anything, instead she's just doing her 'blending in' thing.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy easily finishes off one Hot Dog on a Stick, and has a good drink of lemonade before dstarting on the next. "I was thinking of spending some time outside today Lorna, So I'm thinking I need a big beach towel, a cooler, and maybe a portable grill. What do you thnk of that plan? Just go out to the lake."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna glanced around the food court again, her green eyebrows lifting upward as she eyed the various people as they went about their day. Though she was a public person, it was always so jarring to leave Genosha and the chaos of mutant rights to just see... normal people out and about, enjoying their day. She sipped at her milkshake again, and shrugged once. "If you wanted to go to the beach all you had to do was say so. We could just take a portal over to Genosha.." She murmured, shoving her other hand into her pockets.

"Private beach and all.." She didn't add that she could easily ask any number of Palace staff to pack them a cooler and bring out towels and food and drinks. But she thought about it, quite a bit.

Smart Alek has posed:
Alek is drawn to the food court by the waves that drift through the area, his eyes flicker their obviously odd glowing blue behind the sunglasses he wear in public (if it's indeed bright enough to not be noticable for the other reason). He watches the scents pizza, hotdogs, and other food court food drift from there. He mutters to himself, "So many colorful lights.."

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy slips into the food court and finds herself a chicken pasta. She's limping a little, thank you karate class, but it'll heal up nicely. Still, she's digging into her food but with how she looks she's distinctive, being Native American and all that. Plus how she's dressed....Mercy's sticking out in a crowd. With a fork full of pasta, Mercy's glancing around while eting. It's not that she doesn't trust those in here. It's just....trouble magnet, daughter of Coyote, and.....trouble. Lots...and lots of trouble. Mercy though is accidentally listening, though she bites her tongue and stays quiet.

"Tent, compass, matches, flashlight, did I miss anything?" she asks herself..though she's sure she can be heard, the fork set down with a clink of cutlery as Mercy sits back, sipping her water, just listening for a moment or two. Mercy's restless, really. It's the way she fidgets in her seat just enough to be noticeable really....yet not overly fidgety.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy chuckles and smiles at Lorna. "I mean something abit more local than Genosha, more like in our own back yard. Just something casual." Alek catches his attention, and he waves broadly to bring the young man on over. Mercy's limp makes him look, and couch. "Are you alright miss?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna shrugged once, "Well, it's my backyard these days.." She teased. Her gaze swinging toward Alek briefly as Hank waved toward the young man. She nodded politely, but otherwise seemed more intent on finishing off her milkshake. That done, she moved to throw out the plastic cup and returned to Hank's side, finding him playing chivalrous knight to a woman that had been limping seemed par for the course.

The green haired woman hung back, flickering her gaze over the woman that Hank had approached curiously, but otherwise not interfering.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy nods at the question. "Yeah I'm fine. I just got hit at karate class. It'll heal up" she says and twirls her fork a few times while idly listening. The beach talk gets her thinking, get out of the city for a while. "I figured I'd take a break while I'm shopping and getting things ready to take off for a while" Mercy says gently, rubbing her thigh. It hurts, getting caught on the thigh hurts. Still, Mercy gets up to throw the empty pasta bowl out too,limping again as she moves to throw it out. That done, she leans gainst her table and smiles. "Forgive my intruding but I heard you discussing a beach trip. I'm getting ready to take off myself on a trip" she says quietly. Mercy's cautious, but....friendly. And complex. And sassy, too.

Smart Alek has posed:
Alek silently approaches Henry, he does smile a bit.."Hello." he raises a hand gives the typical greeting wave, he seems to drunkenly look over the three and then he looks to the various food outlets here and at all the people, he hyper ventilates a bit, but he fidgits and recovers, "So much distractions.. I envy people to be able to drown it out."

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy shakes hsi head as his phone goes off. "Looks like something happening at the school. Why don't you guys do something without me? I'll catch up later."
