Johnny Storm is sitting a table on the the north saide of the park. Right where ther ping pong tables are. He's got next. He he watches the current players while adding his own commentary, "Hey man, you missed you chance right there? He doesn't have a backhand..hit it to his backhand!" he is insisting.

With a big smile on his face he leans back and reveals an icecream sandwhich and he takes bite.

Oddity has posed:'
Wednesday was wandering through the park with a black lace umbrella over her to block the sun from her pale skin. Upon her is a black and lilac gothic lolita dress with black stockings and high heels mary janes on her feet. A sketch pad is held against her and a pencil it held in her other hand. When Johnny adds his commentary, her attention then draws to him and heads in that direction with a soft smile curling her dark lips.

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

After a particularly amzing shot he tosses the icecream in the air standing, "NICE SHOT!" he says clearly the most excited person watching. He turns to the other opponent and says, "You didn't see that coming? No?" he laughs.

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday squeaks loudly as she has to jump to the side to avoid getting hit by the ice cream and shouts out "Hey! Be more carefully, ice cream doesn't belong on clothes... it belong in tummies." And she then stands up next to him, leaning back a little bit to look up at him as she slowly twirls her parasol while she holds it.

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm standing looks at the the table then down to the little girl with a smile, "Oh, I am so sorry little lady," he looks behind he deliberately, "Are you all alone?"

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday nods softly and says "I am but I also live here in the city on the weekends." Her eyes flitting to the ping pong game in action before back to Johnny as she asks "Why is it you ask?"

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

The mountainouse giant of a man - Bjorn Artturson, is walking through the park wearing a completly black suit. And walking next to him was of course his sidekick Borgi the corgi! As he walks he notices Wednesday, a girl he met at an underground fighting rink and...Is that The Human Torch? Quite the day it is! He lumbers over his voice booming out "Greetings folks!"

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm is standing next to the Ping Pong table on the north side of Bryant Park. He stands there talking to a much smaller girl with a ruined icecream sandwhich on the ground next to the girl. Swiftly he turns to the table and says, "Remember, I got next," then back to the girl. "It's the big city little lady," he suggests with a wave of his arms but as the tall guy shows up he smiles and says, "Greeting to you too my man."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday turns as she hears Bjorn's voice and offers and bright smile as she says "Hey Bjorn!" And she squees with joy "Hey Borgi!" She looks back to Johnny as she says "I was born and raised here. And... I can handle myself if I need to. I am older than I look."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

"Doing well Ms.Wednesday? Hope you do not plan on kidnapping Bjorn dog again!" he says obviously joking. As for Borgi he gives a bark of greeting...before be liening towards the ice-cream sandwich. It begins to lick up the vanilla treat! Though oddly avoids the actual chocolate parts. "How old are you anyways?" he wonders of Wednesday before looking ot Joihnny "...and Bjorn wonder what The Human Torch is doing here! Just playing ping pong?"

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm points towards the table, "I got next man!" he says extending his other hand. He looks down towards the dog, "Cute. And it's Johnny, my friends call me J Storm."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday giggles a bit and shakes her head and teases back "Only if you don't take me shopping for my own soon. And I'm 18. Just very petite is all." Her attention then flits back to Johnny and looks a bit amazed at him, realizing who it is and blushes softly. She says to him "It is nice to meet you Johnny. I am Wednesday."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn rubs the back of his head "Heheheheh, been a bit busy! Bjorn must go out to get parts, and Fate would have it, that every time Bjorn does he runs into trouble" he says with a grumble. He looks to Johnny and smiles wide "Et is pleasure to meet you J-Storm!" he says "Bjorn Arttursson at yer service"

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm basks just a little cuase you know, that's what he does then he says, "Hello Wednesday. I am J Storm," he repeats then towards Bjorn he says, "Bjorn huh? What brings you out today?"

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday sets her sketch pad and pencil down and takes this moment to bend at her knees so she can pick up Borgi and cuddle on him as she says "And this Borgi." He was distracted by falling ice cream after all. She then asks Johnny "So... J Storm... are you good at um... Ping Pong?"

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

"The beutiful sun! It is shame to waste such a day after all! That and Borgi needed his walk, and park is good to find abandon electronics to take home." he glances around as if something would happen. He eyes a street in particular....before going back "That and been doing the sleeping in the walk, so clearing head" Borgi barks when he is suddenly picked up. Borgi squirms in Wednesday arms seeming to object to not being able to finish the sweet cold treat just beneath his feet!

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

"Good? You won't find a better player for about twenty blocks!" J Storm lies but he believes it. Looking around the area then checking on the table to make sure that they haven't skip his turn he responds to Bjorn, "It is a nice day right?"

Then to the doggie he says in a very high voice, "Doggie like icecream no? Johnny like icecream too..."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday pouts and sets Borgi back down. Though Johnny's words make her smile as she says "I like ice cream too. Maybe... after your game we could all grab some perhaps? Since you are the best celebrating victory would be in order and... it will be my treat."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Borgi cants his head at Johnny confused once Wednesday puts him down. He begins barking as if in emergency. Actually ignoreing the icecream and ciricling Johnny sniffing at the man to make sure he was okay it seems. Bjorn speaks up "Relax Borgi...he is fine, just trying to talk to you." the dog is unperturbed and persistant in making sure Johnny was alright. "Bjorn would love that Wednesday....though be warned, Bjorn is banned from Charlies Icecream...it is long story." he looks to Johnny "Best eh? Bjorn bet he take you down!"

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm didn't expect a challenger, "This is my hood! I know the movers and the shakers around these parts," then looks up Bjorn's frame, "You are pretty long though...might be a challenge. Hmmming he turns his gaze towards the puppy and back to the voice, "You understand right...right...yes you dooooo..yes you...doooo."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday giggles to Bjorn and says "You'll have to tell me about that story after we go shopping for my own corgi." She perks up and looks intrigued as Bjorn suggests himself as the opponent. She then says "It will be very exciting to watch you play against one another. Though.. can I make 1 rule?"

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn grins "Aye, but you not know Bjorn!" he exclaims. But than the grin fades "...long?" he blinks not being used to the term. He has been called many things, long is not among them! The corgi howls in worry before jumping up at Johnny. Bjorn chuckles and looks to Wednesday "And what is this rule of yours?" he asks her as he goes to take a place at the finally open ping pong table

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

"Yes you dooo...yes you dooo..." Storm adds a few mini barks in as he starts to kneel. "Ruff..ruff...you dooooo..."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday looks between Bjorn and Johnny as she says "No powers allowed." A grin curling her lips, thinking that adds more to the challenge.

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

The dog jumps up and licks Johnny face repeatedly, his fluffy tail wagging furisouly! As for Bjorn he looks to Wednesday and cants his head "Fine, Bjorn will hold back his strength." he says. "After all, do nit want to break the table!" he laughs. After all, it not like he can just turn that off...he'll just have to be gentle

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm frolics with the dog for a moment before saying as his face is being licked, "Hey! We have next!" the guy responds, "You said only one of you," J responds, "Well yeah, but he only wants on game....wait," he turns to the dog, "Yes You Do!" then he finally stands, "Just one time. I'll wipe the table with him."

"My powers wouldn't be any help here. I would melt the ball then my opponent would call foul!" he smiles and almost poses for that smiles before kneeling again to the dog.. "Ruff....ruff.."

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday find somewhere to sit down as she waits for it to start and says "True... but I just wanna see how it goes anyways. Cause... it means I won't be using mine either." A grin curls her lips as she smooths of the ruffles on her skirts.

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn pick up a paddle and well his large hand almost engulfs the paddle. But none the less he seem enthaused "Bjorn would not call foul, he would probably just keep on hitting the ball!" he laughs "Come on lad, you got plenty of time ta play with Borgi afterwards!" he exclaims before looking to Wednesday "Very open with yer abilities eh?" he wonders

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm ruff ruffs again then says to the doggy, "I'll be right back.." he says in a very high voice.."Right after I beat your daaadd," he stands and walks over. He snaps and the other player tosses a paddle in his direction which he catches behind his back with one hand while grab the ping pong ball with the other. He nods and smiles lightly, "yeah.."

Squaring up on the other side of the table he says, "we all have powers here? I have to say that I do not know you two?"

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday shakes her head to Bjorn and comments "Not entirely. I... am still working on mine and haven't made an appearance just yet is all. And... I am Oddity."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn readies his paddle as Borgi goes to sit besides wednesday "Aye - and incase you were nit paying attention, Bjorn is strong, can fix and communicate with electronics, and very good at changing size." he explains

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm smiles confidently and begins to serve, "Here is comes big and long," and he hits the ball relatively normally, not trying to kill it, just a normal serve, "Let's see what you got," he turns to the dog and says, "Yeah...yeeeasshhh..let's see what he's got."

SERVE!

<DICE ROLLER> Johnny Storm rolled 1d6 <6> + 0 = 6

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday quietly watches with a smile curling her lips, excited to see who wins.

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Being big and Long can be useful...but sometimes it can be a bit of a hinderence. As Bjorn goes to slap that ball down, he misses, and the ball instead bounces off his torso and back onto the table "....Bjorn may be a bit rusty" he admits. But he is unperturbed! He picks up the ball to serve this time and he gives it a gentle tap in service, sending the ball bouncing once on his side and than bounding over to Johnny side.

============< [NO LOG: 2276] End of Bjorn Artturson's pose >============

<DICE ROLLER> Johnny Storm rolled 1d6 <2> + 0 = 2

<DICE ROLLER> Bjorn Artturson rolled 1d6 <4> + 0 = 4

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm opens his arms wide, "What's up big man?!?!? What you got?" and as the ball comes back towards him he tries to crush it.

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn flashes a grin "Well if you insist!" and he slams his paddle into the ball! The ball richoets off his paddle with a very loud 'bang' sound before bouncing off the table only to go high up and begins its decent onto Johnny side

================<* [NO LOG: 2276] Wednesday has posed *>================

Wednesday excitedly watches, taking the time to pick u Borgi once more and scritch behind his ears and upon his neck.

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm lounges at the returned ball but misses his at his attempt. He eyes Bjorn intently and as someone brings the ball back to him he says, "You are pretty good big guy..pretty good. I guess that I am actually going to have to play for real," he tosses the ball in the air and spins it at the same time and launches it across the table towards the big dude. "Here it comes!"

=============< [NO LOG: 2276] End of Johnny Storm's pose >==============

<DICE ROLLER> Johnny Storm rolled 1d6 <1> + 0 = 1 <DICE ROLLER> Bjorn Artturson rolled 1d6 <4> + 0 = 4

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

"Bjorn is 64 years old young whipper snapper! Bjorn best be good at SOMETHING by now!" he says with a boisterious laugh! As the ball comes his way Bjorn seems to track that spinning ball, brining his paddle back and *CRACK* that ball is just whipped back back to Johnny! "And there it goes! Haha!" Borgi noses up to Wednesday enjoying the scritching. The dog nuzzles and licks her face happily, with no icecream to distract him! Seem he loved the pets!

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm darts to his left this time trying to return the ball but again he fails, "You? 64?" he turns towards Wednesday accusingly, "He is using his powers isn't he?" he points towards his opponent and in a moment of softenss he also says to the dog in a very high voice, "IIIIIIISSSNNN"T he...I know...I knoooowwww."

Picking up the ball he says, "This is my house, we must protect his house, zero serving two," he pumps both arms and serves again. "Return THIS one homie!"

"BAM!"

=============< [NO LOG: 2276] End of Johnny Storm's pose >==============

<DICE ROLLER> Johnny Storm rolled 1d6 <3> + 0 = 3 <DICE ROLLER> Bjorn Artturson rolled 1d6 <4> + 0 = 4

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

"Surprised?" he grins wide "And please, Bjorn is not even hitting that hard!" he claims. He might be hitting at optimium human levels...mabey. It hard to tell sometimes. But none the less as the ball comes his way once again "But if you insist!" and *SLAP* the ball is again denied the right to be missed by the big man! It careens back to Johnny

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm dives to the other side of the table to try to hit the ball but his misses again. His pin pong peers start to chuckle. After a stern look at his friends he narrows his eyes at Bjorn, "Ok long dude, I am going to stop taking it easy on you, I was only trying to be nice," he steadies himself to serve, but the chuckling distracts him and he turns, "Hey..shut up..I am trying to concentrate here..teach this old dude a lesson."

Back to the table..he tosses the ball and spins it even more before serving.

"BAM TIMES TWO!"

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn eyes are alight with mirth "Come now, it is but a game!" he exclaims "And you know, it better to admit when your just having bad luck" he claims. But this time as the ball slides over, he goes to take his swing, paddle pulling back

And he whiffs it. The ball just passing over the top of his paddle. The ball bounces off his rib cage and clammers onto the table. Bjorn looks at it and laugh "Well seem you got a point now!" he exclaims. He picks up the pong "My serve!" he drops the ball and let it bounce once before striking it to Johnny, his demineer never changing.

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm smirks at his final success and rubs his forhead as if he is sweating but ofcourse, he never sweats. He grimaces, "Come on old man...this is my house," and then the serve comes and he CRUSHES it just...it ends up not hitting the table at all on on the ground a few feet from his opponent. This does not make him happy and he swears, "Damn IT! OK. OK. You are up 4-1. As soon as I figure out your game plan you are toast old man."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn laughs "Game plan? Lad, you need to cool down! Bjorn has no game plan!" he claims "Just litterly hitting the ball! Perhaps you just need to work on your aim!" he gives Johnny a wink there "But how about we call it evens eh?" he offers

==============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Johnny Storm has posed *>===============

Johnny Storm is not about evens. He extends his hand again, "rematch!" he demands. "My aim is perfect! You just caught me without a warm up."

=============<* [NO LOG: 2276] Bjorn Artturson has posed *>=============

Bjorn smiles easy "Just as you caught me!" he says with a chortle "Well, why not go up agaist one of your good friends here or Wednesday? Bjorn should give these old bones a rest eh?" he states.
