Being normal is pretty boring anyway, isn't it?

[she grins back, a little one, and rests her elbows on the table and her chin on her hands]

@caffeinisms

It looks like a facepalm to me. [she pauses for a moment, almost like she's thinking about it, before she grins - one of those shiteating grins] Like it's already preparing for all the stupidity that'll go on around here.

[because there's teenagers, and that's a magnet for stupid]

[she doesn't seem to mind the dry tone, at least. Nor the ignored offer]

What team are you on? [because she doubts he's just a stray - she hasn't seen any cats around here]

@intelligencedesign

[continued here]

She's heard that question so many times today that she automatically answers, rather than hesitates like she normally would. It was nice, to be open about what she was, in a way.

"I'm an Enforcer - we basically protect humans from the supernatural." It was the shortest answer she could give. Just because she could be more open didn't change the fact that she'd be a little bit of a shit about giving answers.

I wish I could explain it better than that, but. [she shrugs a shoulder] That world's adopted a lot of things from the human world, that being one of them. It takes a lot of energy to get back there if you can't find one of the entrances in.

[she can't help but grin a little. It was probably becoming a thing, to introduce what you are along with the who part]

It's nice to meet you, Natasha. [and without missing a beat] I'm a baku, Earth, 2014.

[caffeinisms]

And here I thought we were here to save the world. [ kind of an ignorant statement, given the fact that there are several worlds represented here, but. that's cooper for you. sometimes. ]

[dreamvour]

That could happen too. You've never seen an anime, have you.

[in those, somehow, the stupid boy main character always somehow finds a way to save the world. Then again, comparing their situation to that is . . . well. She isn't being serious, at least]

[bellbound]

Orange.

[He's wearing a CDC cuff around his neck. The interface would glow orange, if he were using it. At least with Orange he won't be on the front line - hopefully.]

[dreamvour]

Hmm. So that makes us teammates.

[she pushes up her sleeve to show off her own cuff, before she rolls it back down]

[caffeinisms]

Anime.

[ oh god. oh god. that's a pretty foreign word to him, honestly, and he is all about these new concepts. ]

You know, I can't say that I have.

[dreamvour]

[her human friends back home would be so proud of her, explaining what anime is and all that]

It's another word for Japanese animation. There's a number of them based on less-than-intelligent protagonists who somehow manage to save the world, all while doing stupid things along the way.

[bellbound]

[He supposes this is meant to foster a sense of camaraderie or something of the sort. Mogget does not do camaraderie.]

In that case I'm certain we'll meet again, Baku.

[He inclines his head and gets up, ready to stalk away. He'd rather not stay in this mess hall longer than necessary.]

[caffeinisms]

You think we're all stupid.

[ whether he's right nor not, he doesn't say it with an attitude of disdain - rather, one of amusement. ]

Blatant manipulation generally says otherwise.

[blackhand]

[That gets a pause, and a huff.]

You're talking to someone who prefers to be awake at night rather than day. [A beat.] What do you think?

[dreamvour]

[she isn't about to stop him; cats do what they want, and whether or not he's really a cat, well . . . it'd be rude to ask. So she just lifts a hand to wave]

I'll see you around.

[dreamvour]

[she snorts and shakes her head a little, glancing towards where the statue is again]

On the contrary. Humans are some of the smartest creatures I've ever seen. Anime characters are fictional anyway.

I wasn't even considering the manipulation, though.

[dreamvour]

[she looks a little surprised when he throws the question back, then shrugs a shoulder]

I've never been normal. So I guess saying that makes me a little biased.

[debts]

[ Her eyebrows lift, though it's the kind that's expectant rather than surprised. ]

That's not a name.

[ Black Widow, Natalia Romanova, Natasha Romanoff; yeah, she knows all about those. And 'a' isn't a categorizer for a name. ]

[dreamvour]

Baku is my name, and what I am. Or Chiyoko, sometimes.

[she may as well start tossing that in, for the people uncomfortable with her. Though Natasha doesn't seem to fit into that group]

[blackhand]

Let's just say I'm a fan of the dark.

[And the stealing he does in it. If anything, Garrett is incredibly good at blending into the shadows.]

[dreamvour]

Isn't there a saying about fun and night . . . ? Either way, we have that in common.

[technically, she's a creature of the night. That's when humans dream the most, after all]

[blackhand]

That it's meant for the worst people. At least, back home.

[Night usually meant thieves, assassins, and lowlifes were about. It was where Garrett thrived.]

[dreamvour]

[she makes a noise in her throat, wry and amused]

Worst is subjective.

[blackhand]

It all depends on who you ask.

[He may be repeating her words, but it's a confirmation of sorts. An agreement.]

I tend to think the best work then.
