Streets of Fandom near Needful Things; Wednesday Afternoon

[totalwildcard]

Harleen was just trying to get to the gym. Sure she was feeling a little bit disoriented, having woken up in a strange place with the weirdest dog she'd ever seen, but if she wanted to get that scholarship to GSU - which she desperately did - then she had no excuse for not trying to get in any and all training and exercise she possibly could.

Even in a town she didn't recognize.

Even if she saw --

"What the frick is that?"

And had she seriously just said 'frick'? This long after finally getting away from the nuns? (Okay, it had been like a year, but that was a long time in cursing years.) The thing that was clearly eyeing her from down the street had tentacles, and looked like it was made of snow, and surely that deserved something stronger out of her mouth than 'frick'.

"What the fudge."

The thing threw a snowball at her. Hard. Harleen yelped. Okay nevermind about the swearing! Time to try and duck for cover!

(open! major sp warning until later in the afternoon but I have to get Harleen the Teen out here)

Sabine, after a long absence, had gotten back into town last night.

Yeah, it was going to be a whole thing later.

But for now, she was swooping in from somewhere or another, blasters out, aiming at the monster's tentacle. "Need help?"

"Yes!" Harleen... didn't quite shriek, but something close to it. "And what is that thing?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"It looks like snow?" Sabine said, blasting off another tentacle easily. "As long as it dies."

Maybe stop toying with it then, Sabine.

Harleen flinched at the sound of the blast. She was cowering in the doorway of... some business or another, and seriously beginning to consider just ducking in for safety.

"I just wanted to get to the gym! I don't even know where the gym is!"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine dispatched the rest of the monster, and lowering her blasters, said, "You don't know we're the gym is?"

[totalwildcard]

"No!"

Actually...

"I dunno where anythin' is!"

But on the upside, the inescapable Brooklyn in her accent sure was coming out in full force?

"Are you new?" Sabine checked now that her comment actually posted wtf.
