BBQ time
True to his word, Jordan found the kitchen, but no one cooking. Finding a good selection of the food put out for their arrival, but no grill, he takes a couple grates apart, cleans them up, and sets up a firepit outside with makeshift grills over it. A good fire follows, and its not long before the phantom smells of steak earlier are becoming real ones. The heat doesn't seem to bother him any, beyond being warm enough to hang his shirt over a tree branch. Despite his commentary, he hasn't given anyone a hard time for bikinis or lack thereof.

Alex had found the person who had cooked the steak he had been tracking, but by the time he found them the steak was gone. He was hungry and dammit he didn't feel like going outside and running something down. It was just too much effort and he liked cooked meals better.

Giving up on someone making their way into the kitchen to make some food, he wandered outside. The smell of cooking food reached him and once again he followed his nose.

In the form of a white tiger, he made his toward where a firepit had been dug.

/Please tell me you made extra/ he said. One of the problems with being unable to take human form was the lack of ability to cook food.

	"...you must be Alex," Emily greets. "Wow. Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ugh, man make fire! Man cook meat!" he replies to Emily. "Come get your fresh, hot meat before I devolve further into the realms of proto-humanity or innuendo. At this rate I'll be Ozzy Osbourne any minute now."

He dishes up the seared fish onto plates, reaching onto the grill without sign of discomfort to do so.
"So if this is Jordan's Angels, and Alex is Bosley, are you Kate Jackson or Lucy Liu? Cause I think Belle there has some Cameron Diaz going. I also think she's just the quiet type."

Alex gets a nod. "Hey Boz. Of course I'm making extra. Let me guess, rare?"

	/I am. Who are you?/ He flopped down on the grass not too far from the fire. /Why am I Bosley and who is Bosley?/ /Well done. It's not often I get to eat a cooked meal. Lack of hands./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina made a face. "Liu and Diaz are not Charlie's Angels, she said. "Stupid Hollywood." "I'm Tanya Roberts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2009-08-19 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"She was awesome in the old school Beastmaster too. Ok, you're Roberts alright." He looks to Alex. "Bosley was one of the characters in Charlie's Angels, no matter which version you go with. And all good... well done I can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel waves hi again to Alex, and nods a little at Jordan's 'quiet' assessment, and smiles at little at the silly movie-star comparison. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, but at least the Hollywood version added some color in there, if you know what I mean?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2009-08-19 05:55 am UTC (link)
	"But Hollywood's got nothing on my angels. Color range goes all the way to psychadelic purple, and you three would be way hotter in bikinis." He glances at Marrina and winks. "And your Playboy shoot would completely outdo Tanya Roberts' shoot." Pause. "Not that I'm suggesting anything. ust saying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Emily holds her tongue before she suggests that Jordan pose for a Playgirl shoot. She's not entirely sure that he wouldn't, right then and there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The thick fur was a little too much on a warm day like this one. Alex shifted into a pitbull. He would have went with a snake, but he wasn't sure about the girls and how'd they react to snakes. He didn't say anything. The subject of Playboy and bikinis weren't much interest to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, now that was enough to make the sea-spawned Alphan blush. "That's all your better be doing," she told Jordan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2009-08-19 06:32 am UTC (link)
	That Mel blushed kind of goes without saying. "Alex, if you don't mind my asking, how old are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2009-08-19 07:35 am UTC (link)
	He holds up a hand to Marrina. "Told you, harmless long as you don't take me too seriously. Besides, you decided on the angel. You are cute when you blush though. Like Belle there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily scratches the pitbull behind the ears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-08-19 08:51 am UTC (link)
	/Seventeen/ he answered. He turned and gave the new girl a quizzical look. Most people didn't scratch ears or even pet him after they realized he wasn't a normal dog. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 08:54 am UTC (link)
	She pauses. "Do you want me to stop?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-08-19 08:58 am UTC (link)
	/Just not used to people doing that once they know/ he said. The scratching did feel good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A shapeshifter, a brick, a ...whatever it was exactly Mel did, her, and whatever it was a relic of whatever did for you. Strange group, Marrina thought. "So..." she ventured. "Alpha Flight. Any ideas? Dad didn't exactly speak too highly of it..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh sure. Since I volunteered when I really didn't need to, they were pretty forthcoming with information. We're answerable to Department H, with occasional supervision, aka babysitting from Department K - who look after the security risks and potential supervillains. So obviously they think very highly of us. The project has provisional funding, so if we make them look good, we get to keep going out and risking our necks. We make them look bad or all bite it on mission one, they say oops and placate the taxpayers with a small refund check."

	Mel frowns, not in surprise, merely in reflection. "Mom and Dad hear enough from Department K as it is," she mutters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oneyoungwoman 2009-08-19 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"My mom didn't really think highly of Department H, either... but she also didn't think highly of me, either, so go figure." Emily grins. "I think we'll help the team look good, though. I think we'll kick ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
