Roof of Chilly Boulder, Saturday night

Jessica needed a workout. A Spider-Woman workout. She'd finally found some information that helped her put two and two together and she was the kind of unhappy that required the putting on of a costume and the punching of ne'er-do-wells. Frustratingly, there weren't any petty criminals around here and she didn't have a car to go out and find some.

That was why she took the time to put a sign up by the entrance of Chilly Boulder.

Commit a crime tonight?
Use the fire escape to get onto the roof.
COLLECT YOUR CRIME PRIZE!!!
This is not a trap.

She didn't think it was going to work, but working on an art project helped a bit. And maybe, JUST MAYBE, somebody would be dumb enough to commit a crime in Fandom, see the sign, and see what was waiting on the roof. If they did, Spider-Woman would thank them for being stupid by punching their stupid face. In the meantime, she was going to practice the hell out of some katas.

[OOC: If anyone's around and wants to talk to an angry costumed person on a rooftop.]

"...what if I merely want ice cream?"

Well, you did get a villain at least, Jessica.

"Are you going to steal the ice cream?" Spider-Woman asked, pausing her kata after a kick. She already had a feeling this wasn't going to lead to punching at all. Dammit. BE MORE EVIL, LOKI.

Loki gave it serious thought before responding, "No. I have money to pay for such things."

"Then I can tell you that the sign lied. It was a trap. The prize would be punches," Spider-Woman said.
abitlowkey: (about to lie to you)

"Truly," Loki replied, not even able to pretend he was ignorant of such things. "However would people know for sure? The ruse is so clever."

"I'll be honest, I was hoping for the kind of exceptionally stupid criminal that you usually get in New York," Spider-Woman said. "Maybe one was on a boat tour along Chesapeake Bay and decided to stop off, rob something, then get some ice cream. I know it's a stretch, but it's not impossible."

"I would prefer a New York hotdog," Loki admitted. "They taste of delicious food poisoning."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-11-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey. Most of them won't give you food poisoning," Spider-Woman said. She was willing to pick a stupid fight with someone if she couldn't pick a fight with a stupid someone.

"Maybe thirty percent are dangerous," Spider-Woman argued. "At most."
abitlowkey: (...seriously?)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I believe that to still be an unacceptable high number."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-11-03 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Just stay away from the sketchy vendors and the number drops to five percent," Spider-Woman said.
abitlowkey: (niiiiiice)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"They're all sketchy," Loki countered.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-11-03 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"That's a stereotype," Spider-Woman said. "Most are just angry."
abitlowkey: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
...well, he had to grant her that. "It cannot be easy with all the invasions in that city."

"And the petty street crime alone is enough to drive somebody who works on the street off the rails," Spider-Woman said.

"A wonder they stay in business at all!"

"It's nice that we can agree," Spider-Woman said. "I still want to punch somebody, though. So I'm not going to thank you for lightening the mood or anything."
abitlowkey: (...seriously?)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Might I suggest a venture off island then?" Loki said. "Perhaps you will find better luck there."

"... I don't have a car, and the Portalocity delays are terrible right now," Spider-Woman admitted.
abitlowkey: (smiiiiirk)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Loki gave her a sympathetic look. "I am sure you will find a criminal here then."

Liiiiiiies.

"Don't patronize me," Spider-Woman requested.

"Wait. You do magic and stuff, right? Do you have any kind of teleportation powers?"
abitlowkey: (...seriously?)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2013-11-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"None that will help you." A beat. "Unless you wish to go to Hel."

"That's not a neighborhood in Baltimore, is it?" Spider-Woman checked.
abitlowkey: (niiiiiice)

Loki gave that all the consideration it deserved. "Close."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-11-03 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Close is too far this time," Spider-Woman sighed. "Well, thanks anyway."
