you got that something, i think you'll understand

WHO: Those who signed up for this and OPEN to gawkers.
WHERE: Various locations in and around Heropa and Cape Canaveral
WHEN: February 11th
WHAT: Ill-fated doings.
WARNINGS: SHENANIGANS ...

Today's for something a little bit different from the regular superhero business, but imPorts won't be expected to give anything less than their best.

Upon arrival at their destinations (whether voluntarily or if they had to be tricked into it), participating imPorts will be greeted by a member of the TV station crew and filled in on the general gist of the proceedings -- and introduced to their blind date!

To record the proceedings, small flying drones mounted with cameras will be following the characters around all day! These can be dodged or avoided (within reason). Feed from the cameras is live and will be broadcast on television and the internet. At the end of their date, the cameras will be turned off, and participants are free to spend the rest of the day as they wish.

[ ooc; sub-threads for various locations to be posted below! The threads are also open for onlookers or meddling friends, but please ask the players involved before jumping in. ]

[ Thanks is croaked out, barely audible, bit backstage she gets, somehow, even quieter. When the shark comes of, her hair is a mess of static, and the green of it only makes the red in her face more pronounced.

Slow, steady breaths. Slow, and steady. When the rest of the costume is finally pulled off her, Ruka is quick to fold her unburdened arms, watching Tadashi out of the corner of her eye.

I suppose there are worse ways, to spend half an hour inside a shark.

[He almost asks if she's okay, but then she makes the joke and. Well, if she's making jokes, then she doesn't want to talk about anything serious then. He'll leave it alone.]

Guess not, but there are probably better ways to spend a day in a shark park?

[Maybe? Hopefully? If nothing else, Ruka looks like she needs some water. There's a thought. He looks around now that the staff is leaving them be.]

Snack bar, maybe?

... Yeah. [ Her arms uncross--the danger of prying seeming to pass--and she begins trying to comb her hair into its usual style, obscuring part of her face. ] I think I skipped breakfast this morning, anyway.

[ And dinner the night before that, probably... the past few days have been a haze of grief, and thinking back, she's not exactly sure how much she's had that wasn't chasing alcohol.

Whoops...

Her hands brace on her knees when she stands up, with less wobble than before--though there's still too much red in her face.

Ready?

[That does get a relieved smile from him. So she's not in too horrible condition then. Awesome. And because she seems pretty intent on getting her own footing and breath, he gives her enough space so it doesn't feel like he's trying to coddle or anything like that.

With a nod, he gestures to one of the direction signs, pointing the way to the concession area and waits for her to start walking.]


Whenever you are.

[ She's good at reading people, but Ruka isn't focused enough on Tadashi to dissect his reactions; it's task enough to keep her own body working right at the moment. An attempt at a disarming smile, hands folding together, feet moving one step in front of the other in a straight line... at least the air is colder than it was in those suits, and still being winter, it's cold enough to chill that sense of overheating.

And for the season, it means that the park itself isn't crowded, either; another mercy.
]

Sharks aside... [ This whole mess, she means. ] ... how are you settling in? I know it hasn't been very long, but...

[ But getting Tadashi to talk about himself, especially on a safer subject, means less attention to spare on her state. ]

[ He follows along the path, guiding them through the area while she talks. She seems fairly preoccupied with something physical so best he take the lead. ]

It's been fine, really. Got an easy [Boring] job, Hiro wants me to get a job working with him though.

Oh? [ And there's the shack of snacks, its attendant killing time by washing the glass counter for what is probably the eighth time today. Her pace slows. ] Are you interested on that?
tadeadshi: (36)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-06 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[Honestly, he's interested in seeing where Hiro works and maybe working with him, but he's hesitant even if he can't place why exactly. But he talks to the poor attendant and a minute later hands her a bottle of water with a smile.]

If it means we can work together, it's probably worth checking out at least.
