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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	/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)

	She pauses. "Do you want me to stop?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	/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)

	"Of course we're going to kick ass. We're us. We just need to make sure we're not expecting any great favors from the Canadian government. We fall somewhere between social science experiment and Canada's action figures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily grins at him. "Does that mean we get to play dress-up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan grins. "Damn right we do, starting with gratuitous fanservice skintight costume design. Cause if Dept. alphabet soup got us clunky, one-style fits all military togs, I'm hiring us a personal designer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel looks down at the purple sundress that had once been yellow. "I'm not very good with keeping clothes the way they're supposed to look." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got to be something I can swim in," Marrina said. "And no gloves or boots." She held up a hand. "Webbing and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, so purple, resident nudist and swimsuit, no problem. Everyone can design whatever they want, out of whatever materials. I can set up a computer program so people can play with designs if they want, or just go into town and find a designer who can work with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A computer program sounds cool," Emily agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Tempting, if I was sure you'd follow through, and if I was sure Ma Belle there wouldn't disappear through the floor and never be seen again. But if you're feeling daring, I have an alternate proposal for you, if you want to play dress up. I'll pose in anything that'd actually qualify as a male's costume you want to put me in while we're figuring out the shopping if you'll do the same. Up for a bet?"
