Strange Encounter
Date of Scene: 19 September 2019
Location: China Basin, Old Gotham

Cast of Characters: Black Canary, Namorita, Daken




Black Canary has posed:
Gotham City is a curious place for a lunch date. Particularly when the two individuals are actually from the other side of the continent. Few, however, could argue that the food to be had in Gotham's China Basin was not worth a road trip just for lunch. When access to a teleporter is as simple as walking into the next room there are even less reasons not to.

Dinah and Namorita have made just such a jaunt to Gotham today. The little tea room and ramen shop is not crowded at the moment, given that the east coast lunch rush ended an hour or so before, making it perfect for them to get a quiet table near the window.

Dinah settles into the chair and sighs, "It's always nice to get a window table here. It's better than any movie, just watching daily activities around here."

Namorita has posed:
Namorita sits across from Dinah, dressed in her customary green two-piece. Perched on the edge of her seat, the Atlantean's long hair is pulled back into a ponytail that shows her distinctly pointed ears. One leg crossed over the other, her bare foot bobs and ankle wings flutter occasionally.

Apparently some people CAN get service without shoes.

Nita nods in agreement to Dinah's statement, sipping her coke. Yes, it's a tea room, but the Atlantean blonde has a notorious sweet tooth. "It's better a night when you can't see all the pollution." she offers. "But it certainly is colorful."

Daken has posed:
What a wonderful day to get some Ramen, or so Daken would think. He had just finished taking out some scumbags who tried to mug him. Did he kill them? Of course not, but they certainly will probably arrive at the hospital with a long recovery time.

Daken walks through the door to the shop, his hair falling to his shoudlers and not quite in the customary faux-hawk that its usually in. But rather nice and long. He wears a simple jacket with gray jeans, a black shirt, and some combat boots. He looks around the place, his cologne failing to stop his Pheromones from affecting surrounding people. A couple suddenly starts to argue in the corner vehemently. But he notices Dinah and Namorita, and if they notice him while he notices them, he'll give them a little wave.

But he just goes and tries to get himself a simple Miso Ramen.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake just sighs at the bare feet. Nita will do as Nita will do. She sips her tea and conceeeds the notion. "Agreed. The lanterns and neon are amazing together. It's almost like stepping into the streets of Blade Runner." A pause as the man enters, and the argument almost begins on cue. It's odd but correlated? Hard to say. Some people are just wired funny. She offers a smile to the man as he waves then looks back to Nita. "Just about as dangerous most of the time, too. Gotham has never exactly been a peaceful city."

Namorita has posed:
Nita's gaze flickers towards the door out of reflex, and she smiles at the wave. Lashes lower a touch and she tucks a stray blonde lock back behind her ear. Dinah's voice draws her attention back, however. Was she just flirting? "Of course 'dangerous' is only relative." she offers. The argument distracts her then, and those arched brows wrinkle. "But I do like the lanterns and the neon. Chinatown has colors that would even put a coral reef to shame." There's a brief pause as she takes another sip. "Do you know who that guy is who just walked in?"

Daken has posed:
Daken noticed Namorita's actions. She flirted with him, and if she looks at him again, he's watching her. But, he comes over with his miso ramen in the cup her holds in his hand and he smiles at the pair. "Hello there, ladies." Daken puts a hand to his chest. "I'm Daken. Do you mind if I join you? Place is pretty full."

He has a point there. He looks between Dinah and Namorita, clearly a hopeful look in his eyes that he hopes its okay. He doesn't want to sit on a bench outside or something. THat ended badly for him last time!

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake nods to Nita, "Danger is always a relative" she jokes. Looking to Daken again, she shakes her head, "No. But it looks like we're going to get a chance to, regardless?" A wry wink is offered to her friend and then she looks up as Daken approaches and introduces himself. "That's a unique name. Daken. Pretty cool." She shrugs at the request and glances to Nita, "I'm okay with it. Nita?" Looking back to him, she offers, "I'm Dinah, by the way."

Namorita has posed:
Namorita chuckles softly at Dinah's reply, and then that -guy- is standing at their table. She leans forward a bit, resting chin on hand as she smiles up at him. "Don't mind a bit, Daken." she replies. "Call me Nita." She shifts those long legs and her ankle wings flutter a bit more. "You aren't dangerous, are you? We were just curious."

Daken has posed:
Daken chuckles a little bit as they introduces themselves. "Nice to meet you Dinah, Nita. Beautiful names." He offers them both a handshake. If they accept, they have the choice of also possibly accepting a chaste kiss to their knuckles.

Gentlemanly.

He takes his seat at the table and he looks at Dinah. "Thank you. I don't get compliments on it often, so it means a lot." He looks then to Namorita.

"Well, dangerous in the exciting way." He teases the both of them. "But no more dangerous than the average person."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake shakes the hand. It's a firm grip with callouses on the palms and pads of her fingers. Like a gymnast perhaps? Those knuckles have some scars and callouses of their own. A fighter perhaps?

She nods, "No one gets compliments enough these days." She then arches a brow in amusement at the exciting comment. "Careful. Don't use all of your best pickup lines at once..." She smiles and sips her tea.

Namorita has posed:
Namorita's grip is firm and professional, the nails short and manicured. She also bears callouses along her palm, perhaps from holding tools. Her knuckles and forearms are clear of scars, however. Perhaps even a bit -too- clear.

Yes, she allows the kiss upon her hand. And yes, she lowers her lashes demurely for it.

"Manners and decorum are lost social skills anymore." she replies in agreement. Shooting Dinah an amused look, she chuckles again and shakes her head. "Oh, I disagree. Please continue with the pickup lines! Women like to be flattered."

Daken has posed:
Daken looks between both women. Fighters, certainly. Though maybe Dinah is a bit more experienced with it? Less scars. Spends less time getting hit or spends less time fighting. Often a toss-up. But since both women allowed the kiss...

Daken laughs at the difference of opinion apparently. "Well, in that case, if you ladies would like. I would gladly rain sweet nothings on the both of you, since you both seem intrigued..." Daken seems amused more than anything, but he clearly has a flirtatious personality.

"Treat ladies like queens, I like to say."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake smirks at Nita. "I didn't say he should stop you minx." She murmurs as she starts to sip again, "Just didn't want him to run out too soon." She looks back to Daken. "Well sure. As you said, compliments are few and far between these days."

Namorita has posed:
Namorita's eyes are bright as she watches him over the rim of her glass, sipping slowly. She gives Dinah a *look* as well, almost like she would nudge the other blonde if they were on the same side of the table. "Fair enough." she replies, lowering her glass. "I've never understood that expression, however. Shouldn't it be 'sweet SOMEthings' instead of 'nothings'?" Leaning a bit across the table to Dinah, she stage-whispers. "If we keep him talking, then he won't run out on us."

Daken has posed:
Daken looks between the ladies and he just chuckles. "Who should I start with first for the compliments, then?" Seems Daken was apparently interested in making a game of it all. But, he sseem to invite the ladies to sit closer to him to make the complimenting easier. After all, everything was important!

Body language, eye contact...these were important. Not to mention Daken's pheromones were working harder because he was actually enjoying his time with Dinah and Namorita. "Lets see..." He looks betwen them.

To Namorita, he smiles. "Your eyes are beautiful, like the perfect reflection of the ocean in the pale light of the sun. Your hair like gold, beautiful and pure." Well, his pickup lines certainly turned poetic.

Then to Dinah.

"You are strong, smooth, and perfect. Your eyes are fierce with heat and your voice is like the sultry feeling of silk. Your hands are rough, but they are rough from the conquering of many trials. The flower that blooms in hardship is the rarest and most beautiful of all." Though that last bit seems to be said to both ladies. He notes the scars.

He is clearly enjoying himself in the taking-too-seriously the comments on pickup lines.
