Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:09:57 PM)
*more maniac driving, lane changing, riding the double yellow and an obvious beliefe that speed limits are for four wheeled vehicles, Alex pulls into Aislinn's Garage.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:10:49 PM)
Jareth, most likely yelped when Alex took off like that, and clung to him to make sure he didn't fall off. The man walked places a lot, and never popped wheelies on his bicycle, so yeah. By the time they got to the house Jareth was a little shaken, and most likely promising himself he'd call a cab next time. Muttering a little in mandarin.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:12:30 PM)
See how relaxing that is? *running his fingers through his hair because of the tangles from teh wind in his hair* Aislinn purrs like a kitten when we go for a ride. *Alex slips his shoes off before heading inside, and tosses his shirt in the hamper on the way back to the bead room* I am gonna make myself comfy.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:13:21 PM)
Twitch.. Jareth prys himself off, considers being sick, and decides against it. Instead going to the kitchen to wash his face off. "Dude.. you drive like a twister on wheels."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:15:01 PM)
That's freedom, my man! The freedom of a long winding road with no speed limits or cops, just you, the bare minimum you need to get some speed, and that winding strip of tarmac. Cars cut you off from all that freedom. It's not natural. *he returns, dressed in a pair of gym shorts and that's it.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:18:41 PM)
"Yeah.. sure.. if you say so. I don't do the driving thing." He shudders, splashing the water over his face, wiping it off with a towel and going to find somewhere to flop down. Likely on one of the chairs. He looked exhausted, but that wasn't much of a change from normal, and he was eyeing Alex sideways, before smirking faintly. "Sorry... I don't know if I've ever understood them. My feet and the dirt get along too well."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:20:39 PM)
Nothing wrong with a long hike, mind you, but that's a different kind ofo freedom. A lot more work to. *alex smiles and sits down on the couch, stretching like a jungle cat* Oh, I hope Ailsinn's weekend at the office is going ok. She gave Pedro some time off, and was running herself ragged last night.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:22:18 PM)
He nodded a little.. frowned a bit.. "Yeah.. I hope so too.. So um.. what were you saying about Montoya?"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:23:02 PM)
Montoya has become the new Question, and She hooked back up with Bat Woman in an on again off again thing.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:23:50 PM)
A confused look.. "Uh... okay. I have absolutely no clue what you're on about.. I just have to say."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:25:31 PM)
During the Brightest Day, The old question was dying of cancer, and Montoya who had worked with him was trying to get him back to Shangrila. He... didn't make it, and that was very sad, but she took up the mantle of the Question. Faceless mask aand all. And she used to date the woman who became batwoman in college and they crossed paths on a case recently and old sparks rekindled.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:27:17 PM)
"Oh.." More of a blank look. Apparently you're getting farther into the universe than he knows. "Okay then... I only watched the cartoon... That's where we got the idea for the name."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:28:27 PM)
Ah, ok, well, the Question was in the Justice League cartoon... I have the DVDs around here... No... no I don't. That was in part of the lot I sold to buy Aislinn's ring... *he looks chagrined* If I had it we could watch it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:30:32 PM)
"I'm sure we can find it again.. " He chuckled.. "I need to know who this Question person is.. so I can rag on Izzie with it."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:31:15 PM)
Heh... His super power is paranoia... here let me see if I can find a clip... *alex pulls out his phone and starts searching*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:31:48 PM)
Curious looks.. "So.. this is a good guy?"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:33:16 PM)
Yup. He thinks it's all one big conspiracy. *alex fiddles with his phone, then makes a eureka face* Here... watch this. *Alex tosses Jareth the phone with a video cued up.*
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:33:26 PM)
(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDBxlOfJnoQ ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:33:47 PM)
He catches it and watches, half wishing for popcorn.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:34:06 PM)
*there is popcorn in the kitchen*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:38:12 PM)
"The chick is batwoman?""
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:38:22 PM)
No, That chick is Huntress.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:38:31 PM)
Still watching, vaguely curious. 'I thought something was off."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:38:50 PM)
Wait untill you get to his rant about shoelaces and magic bullets.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:39:06 PM)
"Oh jeeze.. " A grin.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:41:31 PM)
"Tell me what you know.. " Laughing.... "Right.. you don't want to ask conspiracy guys that, do you?"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:42:13 PM)
*Alex snerks* Oh dear god no. I also like that Supergirl was surprised he went through her trash and his response was he went through -everyones- trash.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:42:39 PM)
He snickers.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:43:16 PM)
He's bad ass, if not a little crazy. Girscouts and crop circles... *he chuckels*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:43:24 PM)
"Wow.. that's hilarious... I am so going "Orange Socks" the next time she says something odd. "
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:44:01 PM)
Blue overcoat, fedora...*he laughs loudly and hops up to get himself a water*
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:45:04 PM)
And he sounds so defeated when he offers to take her to dinner and a movie instead of pouring over the stolen files.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:45:59 PM)
Still laughing.. he shakes his head.. "This.. okay.. now I see why Izzie picked him. I dunno if she knows about Question, tho.. I wonder." He pondered.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:46:59 PM)
He palmed his phone out, and fiddled around with it for a moment.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:47:15 PM)
Well, technically the JLU cartoon is considered to be in the same continuity as the Batman: The Animated Series, and Dan didn't die, so Montoya never took on the mantle. I love his mask though.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:48:01 PM)
He snorts.. "I'm no purest.. I'll tease her either way. See if she gets it." A grin.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:50:57 PM)
*alex chuckles* Be my guest, and try and drop in that bit about thirty two flavors, it's one of my favorites.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:51:03 PM)
"So who're you.. Batman or Gordon?"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:51:33 PM)
Where I come from, You can't give yourself a nick name, I think it's up to you guys to give me on.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:51:35 PM)
(( one ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:51:55 PM)
He chuckled.. "Yes you can. It's a code name. I totally picked the Joker."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:52:40 PM)
Well, i think we need to at least Ask Aislinn. Because you know I am leaning towards Batman.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:53:11 PM)
"Batman works." A smile.. "I thought it fit, honestly."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:53:53 PM)
I could see a case made for Gordon, as well though. I've grown a little. *he smiles and holds his fingers apart a smidge* Not much, just a little.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:55:28 PM)
"Hey... I always said Batman should've been a cultist." He shrugs.. "Just not me."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:56:13 PM)
I can see that, more an ascetic extatic, and there is a lot of endorphins envolved in fighting.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:57:05 PM)
A nod.. "Not to mention, fear is one of the sacred passions." Quietly.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 10:57:40 PM)
But he walks the line between fear and will so very well. *settles in comfortable with getting metaphysical about comics*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 10:59:03 PM)
He nodded a bit. "Fear, Hatred, Rage... you may or may not be surprised how dark that line can get. Some don't even see a line."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:00:13 PM)
I've been way over that line, I know it all to well. *alex has that thousand yard stare as he remembers the war. His hand goes to his hip, and he is having a pain memory*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:01:44 PM)
"Yeah.. supposedly the whole tradition was getting way offtrack before the Shazar renamed it to the Cult." A bit of a flickering frown.. he eyed Alex. Reached over and poked him gently. "Hey, you're here, not there."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:02:28 PM)
Sorry... *snapping out of it* War is hell. *he forces a smile* so where were we? Becoming strippers?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:03:30 PM)
He nodded. "Totally." Though, whether he meant the first, or the latter was up for debate. "You just gotta borrow that thor outfit again."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:04:06 PM)
Actually... *and he turns a spectacular shade of red* I don't have to borrow it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:06:31 PM)
This gets a laugh from Alex.. "I'd say we should do a calendar sometime, but nobody wants to look at scrawny old me.'
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:06:41 PM)
Alan*
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:07:39 PM)
Hey, it's not like you don't have a video that has garunteed results in sixty days. *he smiles* No one would want a calander with me on it either.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:08:42 PM)
he snorts.. "Bah.. You're... You're built, man.. Seriously. Scars do not discourage all the ladies."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:09:29 PM)
Well, Yes, I am built, but I'm kinda old, too.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:09:56 PM)
"Feh... So what?" He shrugs, just smiles up at him.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:11:14 PM)
People want to look at younger guys. I mean... *he shrugs* Aislinn likes me for me, so I really don't care about anyone else, but I think there is a rule somewhere that calender studs have to be under thirty.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:11:52 PM)
A head shake.. "Feh.. screw the rules, do what you want."
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:12:24 PM)
(This user has entered Aislinn's Abode) (IP = 71.206.245.81)
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:12:50 PM)
Well, Aislinn isn't here, so that rules that out. *He flashes a giant grin*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:14:01 PM)
A laugh.. The two of them were in the living room, clowning around. "Oh.. right right.. should we stage a heist, steal that jar back?" A wink.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:15:34 PM)
*A crisp knock at the door - shave-and-a-hair-cut, pause, two-bits*
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:15:57 PM)
No, she hasn't put them in a jar yet. I am a good boy and know which side my bread is buttered on. Hers. *Alex is lounging in a pair of gym shorts, his hair is now shoulder length, and he's got funny scars like claw marks down his chest. Hearing the knock Alex hops up and heads to the door* Izzy!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:18:06 PM)
"Izzie?" he sits up a bit, peering.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:18:39 PM)
Coem on in! *alex motions her in* We are sitting around, semi celbrating the release of my first ever work out video!
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:19:25 PM)
*She raises an eyebrow* Congrats, Olivia? Hi Jar...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:19:44 PM)
"Thor here cuts a good figure.. and doubts anyone would be interested in a calendar.. so I'm trying to talk him into it." A grin.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:21:15 PM)
He hopped up, looking haggard as usual.. and bounced over.. stopped himself from impulsively hugging.. and raised a brow.. "I think Olivia went to the Chantry.. actually."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:21:35 PM)
Aislinn will murder me, bring me back from the dead, murder me again, and then stuff my soul in an ashtray if I did a naked calander! And yes, Oliva is now at the LeLaurie House.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:22:01 PM)
Is there another Olivia? *She rubs the back of her neck*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:22:15 PM)
"huh?"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:22:43 PM)
Statistically speaking, I think there has to be. *alex moves back to the couch, gettign comfortable, and flexing his toes some*
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:22:43 PM)
Oh, fuck. Right. Zanelli. No, I was thinking Newton-John.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:23:56 PM)
"Um.. Okay." He was trying to remember who the heck that was..
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:24:33 PM)
*Alex helps Jareth out with a musical cue* Sumer days, waisting a way, but oh those hot summer night?
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:24:37 PM)
(( nights ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:25:43 PM)
Another blink...."uh" He facepalmed.. "Sorry.. Just.. went right over my head."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:26:08 PM)
She was in grease, had a brief but awkward musical career.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:26:16 PM)
Pop culture and you have never exactly developed a working relationship, hun.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:26:35 PM)
Also called "Juice" Newton... *prompting helpfully*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:26:38 PM)
"No.. no they haven't.. " A sheepish grin.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:29:30 PM)
A shrug then. "Luckily some things are obvious enough I can roll withthem."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:30:36 PM)
If not, you always have me around. For ten years, All I did was live pop culture and fitness.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:31:08 PM)
Well... *She clears her throat, and then just nods at Alex* There's that, yes.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:31:35 PM)
"I'll let you run me around the yard, if you want.. Can't guarantee I'll be a star student, though." A grin.. Then he looks at Izzie. "You doing alright?"
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:35:15 PM)
*She shrugs, and fishes out her pack of cigarettes* Usual. Work has been hell, but it still beats being pinned at a desk.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:35:49 PM)
*Alex grimaces* I think I would rather eat my own hand than be stuck at a desk.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:36:09 PM)
"Yeah.. same here.. Desks are NOT for me.' He crossed his eyes.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:38:42 PM)
I could tell you stories about the charmer they put me through for psych clearance. I will say - one benefit to all the hoodoo? *She taps her temple* Could play him like a fiddle.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:39:52 PM)
A wry look, and he shook his head.. "There -are- perks to this insanity, at least."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:40:24 PM)
*alex chuckles* Fiddle huh? Did you win the shinny fiddle made of gold, then? Because I saw teh devil cheat with his back up band of demons.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:42:35 PM)
Not gold, we are operating on a budget here.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:42:46 PM)
"Sterling then?" A grin.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:42:55 PM)
Or plated?
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:45:40 PM)
Krylon.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:46:06 PM)
*Alex snerks* Ahh the krylon touch.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:47:41 PM)
*Her mouth tugs to the side in a wry smile*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:48:06 PM)
He chuckled.. "Figures.. Ah well.. at least it's shiny?!"
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:48:26 PM)
And chip resistant!
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:49:01 PM)
Weatherproof!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:51:29 PM)
A grin.. he stretched a bit, got up.. and went to get himself a drink.. "So.. Izzie... " He points at Alex. "Batman or Gordon?"
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:52:24 PM)
*She raises an eyebrow, looking Alex over* Mmm. Hal isn't an option?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:52:47 PM)
"Not if we're sticking with the Batman theme."
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:52:49 PM)
You are the ones that make the rules, not me, I just live by them.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:55:02 PM)
Manhunter, maybe... I don't think -any- of us are Bats, proper. We are not the night.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:55:17 PM)
"Though -I- don't see why we have to stick to one area." Gets himself a glass of water, comes back sipping it.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:55:42 PM)
You really think I'm J'onn j'onzz? Super man but alergic to fire? *alex scrunches his brow*
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:56:29 PM)
Nope, not the Martian.
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:56:55 PM)
I could even buy Nightwing, or not-evil-Jason-Todd...
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:57:13 PM)
Just so long as I don't wind up being Robin... *eyes izzy warily*
Isabel Ross (Nov 19, 2011 11:57:38 PM)
You would look good in tights!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Nov 19, 2011 11:57:44 PM)
Snorts.. and he rubs his nose.. apparently.. that had been bad timing.. because he goes for a towel.
Alex Steele (Nov 19, 2011 11:58:08 PM)
You know, other heros besides robin wore tights... *his eyebrow is still arched*
