[Sm is wandering the hallways in a green dress.  She felt kind of awkward since she was looking for a man who usually wore a fish... But they agreed to meet and go to dinner yesterday. For her it wasn't really a romance thing, more of something to pass the time.  Besides she had never been on a date before, the results could be interesting.]

[A low wolf-whistle could be heard as Gary makes his appearance. The journalist approaches from behind, taking a moment to admire her curves.]

[He arrives sans-fish himself, dressed in a black suit instead of his usual brown one.]

Nice~ [Definitely still staring]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She slowly turned around.]

Ah, there you are.

[She smirked a little.]

Glad you like them, but where are we going to eat?

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Don't you worry your disturbed pretty little head.

I know a great restaurant here. [He hold out his arm for her]

Shall we~?

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She smirked, then wrapped her arm around his.]

Lead the way.

[Sorry I have to tag slowly for now]

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

[Gary starts walking with Mantis, heading towards the elevator]

Hope you weren't waiting long.

Its okay, I will be tagging slowly too x3

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She walked with him.]

Nope, I had just started looking infact.

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Hm. Guess I've just got good timing.

[He presses the button for the elevator, and steps inside with her when it does]

So what's been going on with you since we first met? Anything interesting? [Pressing the button for their floor]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

Not really, it's just been the same old stuff for a while now.

[You know, freaking out and all that usual junk :\]

Although I somehow ended up with a kid for a few days once... And there was that time all those people where running around here... Well I guess it really hasn't been that boring after all...

[She gave a nervous laugh]

[OKAY, I should be better at tagging today XD]

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

[For a moment Gary damn near considered running for the hills when she mentioned having a kid, because he's a great guy like that. But he relaxes at the "for a few days" part.]

...Hngh. So there a room that gives people kids, huh? [He makes a mental note to avoid the hell out of it]

[When the doors to the elevator open, he steps out with her and heads down the hall]

Almost there, babe.

Yay :3~!

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She nodded.]

You're not much of a kid person are you?

[Not that she was really one either.]

Good, I'm starving.

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Eh... It's not like I don't mind goofing around with kids from time to time. But I just don't have the time to babysit someone that can't keep up with me. [Pretty blunt, but it's the truth. Kids are fine as long as they're not his responsibility.]

[Gary continues walking arm-in-arm with her until they reach the double-doors. He pulls one open.]

After you~ [The man gestures her inside the rather fancy restaurant. Candlelit tables, classical music, large decorative fountains- you name it. It's there.]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

I guess that's understandable.

[She could understand. It was hard taking care of her 'kid' for just three days after all.]

Thank you.

[She looked around, taking in the beauty of the restaurant.]

It looks wonderful.

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty sweet huh? I found a few of these fancy-smancy shindigs when I last snooped around the building. [He walks inside himself, and finds a nice-looking table off to the side of the room. Gary strides over and pulls out Mantis' chair for her.]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

You must have a lot of luck then.

[She sat down.]

Usually when I explore I only run into trouble.

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Well... that's not to say that I haven't run into a few interesting rooms.

[He also takes his seat, across from her] I guess it all depends on what you define as "trouble".

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

That is true. Mind if I ask you what kind of rooms they were?

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Well... the worst thing that happened was when I turned into a chick for a few days. Even that wasn't SO bad.

I was also forced to sing a few times. But hey, I've got some pretty good pipes. Then there's those times I got put in some pretty wild clothes...

...All in all, it was nothing serious. [Gary removes the top off of a large dinner plate in the center of their table, and smirks.]

Heh. Looks like we're having fish. [A large flounder, specifically.]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

I guess swapping genders really isn't all that bad, just a little embarrassing. I was also forced to sing once, but I also ended up dancing till I nearly passed out... Nothing really all that serious for me either.

[Well nothing that you would bring up on a first date anyways >.>]

Well at least this fish smells good.

[She laughed lightly.]

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

I never thought my old buddy smelled too bad. Guess I'm just used to it.

[He lifts the eating utensils from a napkin and begins cutting the flounder with a knife.]

But enough about me. I'd like to hear more about you.

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

There's not really much to hear. I guess there is my powers, but they really have only caused me more grief than anything.

[She sighed.]

And it seems that wandering is all I do anymore, that or read...

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Actually, I would like to hear more about your powers if you don't mind.

[Gary rests his elbows on the table, not taking his eyes off of the woman.] Were you born with them?

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She frowned, then shook her head.]

My powers are... more manufactured than anything...

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Oh? [He continued to press the subject]

Then you were unwillingly experimented on.

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She shrugged.]

At that point in my life... I didn't really care what was happening to me. I... I just let those people do what they wanted to me.

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

Hm. So what exactly are you capable of? Is it just reading minds and telekinesis, or can you do even more than that?

[It should be quite obvious at this point that a good deal of his interest in her stems from his journalistic fascination with the paranormal.]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

Well I can do this.

[She held a napkin in her hand, and in a few moments it had started on fire.]

But otherwise that's it.

[She could tell, but she really didn't care either way.]

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

...Wow.

[A short laugh] You really are something else, babe.

[He places a large piece of the flounder onto her plate, then his own. Gary then begins eating.]

Couldn't help but notice that accent of yours. [Chewing] Where are you from?

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

South America...

[She picked up her fork, but she didn't start eating yet.]

I was born in Brazil. Where are you from?

[She's hoping for the subject to change :|]

Computer broke. Using my sister's laptop :(

[justatuna.livejournal.com]

[Because his 2nd favorite topic outside of the paranormal is himself, Gary allows the subject to change. For now.]

Heh. The Big Apple~ New york City. Though I was born in Buffalo.

D:

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She let herself start eating.]

I've never been to New York, what's it like?
