Down by the Bay (well, Sound)
Jo spread out a blanket and took her sneakers off. Even if she could still feel the grass crunch underneath her weight, it was a stretch of unseasonable warmth, and the sun was shining. She was able to dress relatively lightly and get out to enjoy the day. Ferries in the distance, tourists and day-trippers milling about, and at least half a dozen restaurants' grease traps filling the air from the middle distance. She was still in need of a new violin bow, but there was no reason she couldn't get out and take it easy while working on some arrangements. She digs out her notepad and gets to work, humming to herself, the notes carrying on the breezes around her.

	Something catches Joanna's attention and she picks her head up, looking around and sniffing the air. A guy is walking semi-towards her carrying a plate of something. She seems only half aware of her surroundings as she rises and moves briskly straight across the grass, staring straight at him as she comes close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fried food, beer and plenty of sun. For the moment, he's not even noticing Joanna approaching him, lost in the lull of being starving after a long road trip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She comes to an abrupt stop in front of him as he sits down, sitting down beside him. She's breathing slightly heavily from the power-walk, and still looking right at him. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gets a glance and a curious tilt of his head. But, hey, cute chick coming up to talk to him. Must like the biker type. "Hey." he replies, digging in his pack for one of the extra beers he bought at the shop. "Want one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-01-29 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"...no." She abruptly reaches out and grabs him by the shoulders, pressing her mouth to his as her eyes shut. And... after a few moments, it's decidedly Not Normal. Her skin starts to pale as her first transformed state fills out her figure. The energy of the Ghost Rider starts to cascade from one body to the other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a moment of welcoming the kiss - because, well, its Nick. Then he can feel the shift, and tries to pull away. Not long after, he's exponentially stronger in those efforts, and she's kissing bone as the Rider tries to tear free of the succubus' grip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the flames arrive, Jo's higher reasoning reasserts itself. OH SHIT SHE'S LOOKING INTO FIRE! "Aaaahhh!!" She falls over backwards onto the ground, scooting away on her rear, her enhanced form's presence now strictly in contrast to her absolute surprise and bewilderment. "What the hell?! Why are you on fire?! What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's taken enough of the demonic essence that Zarathos hasn't immediately jumped entirely to the fore. And oddly, he's not sensing the driving need to send this one back to Hell - he's just not sure why. "What are you?" the gravelly voice of the Rider grates back without answering her question.

	She looks up at him, pupil-less eyes wide in confusion. "I... I'm a waitress." A beat. "And a street performer. Uhh... you do know you're on fire, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2013-01-29 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	Not quite sure what to do with this one, and, well, cleavage... Nick comes a bit more back to the fore. "Yes, that happens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-01-29 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh... hi?" Joanna gets to her feet, her transformation starting to recede. She brushes herself off. "Does that, uh, happen a lot?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2013-01-29 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Likewise, some of Nick's transformation is starting to fade, though the pentagrams on his hands are still flaming. "Fairly often, yeah. And how about you, do you go all pale and perky every time you start making out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-01-29 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Joanna's eyebrows go up at that, and she gives him a skeptical glance. "I'd like to think I stay perky even without the whole pale thing, but... no, that's not usually what triggers it. It, uh... it happens when I perform. Playing or singing. I'm Joanna. Joanna Ketch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well... that figures. Danny's kid? Cousin? Something related to Danny Ketch?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinks in surprise again. "You know him? He's my old man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know almost everything about him, up to a point. He's one of the former hosts of the Rider." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joanna blinks, tilting her head and squinting a little bit, before comprehension collides with her. "Oh! Oh shit! THAT'S why you were on fire! Oh... oh dude. This is weird. Uh... are you here to do some vengeance-ing? I'd say avenging, but I think the guys in New York have a copyright on it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2013-01-30 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, that's why I was on fire. Not here for any vengeanceing. Here on a road trip to get some distance after the last vengeanceing. I only shifted because you were trying to... I'm not sure what that was, but it wasn't good." (Reply to this)(Parent)
