Bendytime: Right after the Whole Thing.
Well, that had been eventful. And now, Cindy was standing here, trying to ignore the hunger. Lots, and lots of hunger. Either for food or for that smoking hot Amazon that she'd decided to stop staring at so much. So she was singing a song under her breath to try to distract herself.

"Who wants to be some handsome, stuffy playboy?/Who wants to face the bad guys all alone?/ The last thing that I need/ is to be a romantic lead./ I want to grow up to be Peter Lorre/ and steal the girl for my own."

	"Who is... Peter Lorre?" comes the voice from behind her. One of those problems with committing to ceasing to stare at someone is losing track of them. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Cindy jumped, then turned. "What? Oh, um... he's... just this weasely little actor. Tended to play contemptible characters, the kind that caused other characters in the movie to remark 'I don't mind a parasite, but I object to a cut rate one.' He'd sometimes accomplish some interseting things, sneaking around and being despised or overlooked, though. And it's a really catchy song."

	"Your English is fine," Cindy assures. "As good as my Japanese, better than some of my others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What else you speak?" she asks, then pauses, noticing the mention of some of her languages not being all that good. "What else you speak good as English?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-11-12 06:47 am UTC (link)
	"My French and Spanish," she admits in the former, "Are pretty darn good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu looks distinctly relieved. "If your French is good, do you mind practicing? This is much easier. My Spanish is not horrible... a little better than English maybe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"French is just fine, no problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-12 06:56 am UTC (link)
	Saishu switches over comfortably. Her French is definitely not Parisian, but still, definite fluency, even if the accent sounds odd. "Thank you. If this is going to become a... thing... I do not even know just what... but a thing where this group stays together or near each other, perhaps you can help with my English?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-11-12 06:59 am UTC (link)
	"I'd be very happy to. And I suspect it may become a thing. Except for you, the rest of us could easily be picked off if we don't stick together, and it's pretty clear that anyone might be interested in coming after us light-contaminated people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-12 07:01 am UTC (link)
	A bit of thought on that. "Hmm, you seem to know these other people who came for all of you. They could help you... but you're right. Probably best we watch out for each other for now. There are many enemies out there. I know some of them, but not all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-11-12 07:06 am UTC (link)
	"The others have their own affairs that people like Harry and Lenny shouldn't be dragged into. So yeah, I think our sticking together might be best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-12 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	A bit more thought. "That makes sense, yes. So we will watch over them while they learn. Eventually, our enemies will show themselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-11-12 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Cindy smiles and nods. "I can make arrangements for a place for us to all stay together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be very generous of you. If you can manage that, I can definitely help protect people. So, with all these people knowing you, are you another descended from heroes I should have heard of, but have not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, my parents aren't heroes precisely, but they've worked with them, so I know a lot of the gang. Dad's a metahuman, and he and Mom have both done business with heroes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahhh, yes. The blonde girl seemed to think I should know her. Pretty enough, but not famous where I'm from. I have a lot to catch up on. You know Black Adam, perhaps? Or Seraph?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-11-13 06:20 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, Petra's based in New York," Cindy says smiling. "Sounds like you haven't been there much. I've heard vaguely of Seraph, and Black Adam is famous, of course, but my family don't know either of them personally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-13 06:24 am UTC (link)
	She nods. "I know Black Adam, Kahndaq is not far from my home. I haven't ever been to New York, but I know of it, a little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where is home, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-13 06:34 am UTC (link)
	"Egypt, mostly - in the ruins of the City of Women. A long way from the cities. Sometimes Kahndaq, but not often. Moved around the Middle East and into Africa at times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...I'll have to work on my Masri," Cindy mutters. "Is it okay to ask why your family moved around so much?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-11-13 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Saishu brightens. "You speak Masri?" she inquires curiously. "My second language. My mother and I. She was... not welcome back in the City of Women, after she chose to marry. When she returned after my father died to see if they would take me back and raise me, they were gone. So we lived as nomads while she taught me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
