Can You Hook A Girl Up?
Chris shook her head for the fifth time at ideas of anyone from the Institute to ask, but if there were any prime candidates, it just wasn't jumping out at her. She'd already gotten some ideas for dress designs, more mainstream-classy than her personal tastes, but they should show well, but as for someone's arm to be on, she was coming up empty.

Then again... there was someone who might be able to help.

She dialed up an old friend.

"Hello, Stark Industries? I found a dead bug inside my mp3 player, and I refuse to stand for that sort of thing from you people."

	"I'd suggest calling an exterminator," Anya said. "Hello Chris." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Between Stark stuff, MIT, and running your own super-team, I'd imagine so." Chris steels herself. "You tend to know everyone, so I just figured you'd be the one to ask if I wanted to avoid going.... well, I guess 'doe' instead of stag?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So you're asking me if I know someone who you could go with?" Anya asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. Keep me posted." There's some more small-talk and catching up before they each have things to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Anya dialed Austin's number right after hanging up with Chris. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Austin is just wrapping tonight's scenes when his phone rings. He sees Anya's number and grins. "Hey, princess. What's up?" he asks, Southern accent coming to the fore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I need a huge favor," she said. "I have a friend who needs a date to the charity ball. Do you know anyone who would be willing to take her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-11-26 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"Hm, I might know someone. One of the guys on set could stand to get out a little more. What's your friend like?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-11-26 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Exactly how did one describe Chris? "She's...unique. She's bi so a guy or a girl will do. She just doesn't want to go to the party alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, she is? Okay. Then the guy I'm thinkin' of probably won't do. He's a devout Christian-type." Austin says, going over a few other people in his mind.

Almost instantly, he thinks of another unique person that might be interested in a party like this.

"I think I know someone else who might go. You ever watch that show X-Factor? The one about the mutant heroes?" Austin asks.

	"I try not to, but Molly likes it," she said. "Why?" She had an idea she knew where this was going. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Turns out that I struck up a conversation with Pauline Fantasia not long ago. We hit it off pretty well and I told her I'd keep an eye out for her at the next big function I went to. She wanted to gain some exposure outside the show and meet new people." Austin says.

"She's pretty unique herself, and not just because she's a mutant. Maybe she'd be interested in goin' with your friend. I'd have to get in touch with her, though." Austin says.

	"Oh, okay. That should work. Let me know and I can let Chris know." Now that that was over. "How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-11-26 06:04 am UTC (link)
	"I should know within a couple of days." Austin says. "I'll call you with the word." He was glad for the change of subject. "Today was rough, but I got a call from this pretty redhead I spent all day thinkin' about and it magically got better." he grins. "How are you?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya blushed. "I'm good. Busy. Finals are fast approaching and I have a few projects to finish up. Lots of stuff going on with the family and the new brother. The holidays. So I'm the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-11-26 07:27 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, you got the new brother? How is he doin'? Did you tell him you were gonna show him the ropes of life?" Austin asks, remembering when his own little brother was born. He and Jackson had a love/hate relationship, but they were usually there for each other, until Austin left home at least. "How are your parents doin'?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-11-26 08:35 am UTC (link)
	"Of course. Don't want him taking advice from my other brothers," she said. "They're doing great. Already roping some of us into babysitting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-11-27 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"You are truly troublesome, Anya Stark." Austin chuckles. "That little boy is a lucky guy." "So, this party you invited me to...is that all you had planned for the evenin' or would you be up to go somewhere afterward?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, but someone has to teach that kid how things really are." "How about we play it by ear? See what happens?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-11-29 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"All right, fair enough." Austin says. "Do you have your friend's phone number? I might give it to my friend Pauline when I call her to see if she wants to go to the event." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-11-29 05:13 am UTC (link)
	"I'll text it to you," she told him. "Any idea of when you'll be in the Boston area?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Actually, I'll be there next week. The film I'm shooting right now is scheduled to tape a few scenes down there. Maybe we can catch up when I get there?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
