<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/dGTweRr.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Vivienne "Vivi" Kajahara (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257949.msg12739552#msg12739552)<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Black Ranger<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong>October 1st, evening<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Jade Panda -> BYOB Pub<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kara, Bence, Santiago<br/><hr/><br/>The meal had been delicious as usual, albeit rushed as usual, and it was kind of nice to be back out in the world without everyone in the vicinity attempting to massacre them. With the possible exception of the Jade Panda's staff, but they'd always been that way.<br/><br/>Vivi had been somewhat distracted while she and Kara traded brief fragments of conversation in between mouthfuls, mostly because she was trying really hard<em>not</em>to think about how hot it had been watching her friend get dressed. It wasn't that she was embarrassed about it, at least not too much, but it was part of the game. She needed to play it cool. Blocking thoughts out of her own mind wasn't something she'd ever needed to do before, though now that she'd suddenly been granted limited telepathic powers, Vivi wondered if iit should have been. Had she been living her entire life with people who could hack into her thoughts all around her or was that simply some mild paranoia kicking in? Most likely the latter, but still...<br/><br/>For the time being, she hadn't noticed any unusual facial reactions or thoughts out of the other girl, so she seemed to be managing. Hopefully. Maybe the blonde was busy doing the same thing as her.<br/><br/>A lineup had built up at the restaurant while they ate, so once they were done they had to squeeze themselves out through the cramped vestibule at the front past a bunch of hungry people. Vivi decided to make up for raiding Kara's freezer earlier by treating her to some ice cream, so they grabbed a couple of cones before getting back on their way to nowhere in particular, garnering more than their fair share of looks as they walked.<br/><br/><strong>"You just can't help yourself around raw meat,"</strong>the brunette quipped back at her friend's lamentation about scarfing down her sushi too quickly.<br/><br/>Instead of the clever rebuttal that Vivi was expecting, both of them heard a third voice at the same time...in their heads. Weirdly, it was starting to become a familiar occurrence. She hadn't really noticed until then, but she could also feel that pull from earlier drawing her in the same direction Kara had just run off in.<br/><br/>BYOB Pub. Not exactly the heart of Mega City's night life, but you could do worse; well, slightly worse. Vivi had been a few times with her crew from the tuning scene, and she sort of appreciated the pub's sleazy, run down atmosphere. Not a place she would have taken Kara out on a date if they'd been dating, though.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, she felt a little under-dressed to be hitting up bars. Not because of how much skin she was showing, obviously (Kara had classified her outfit as 'slutty', so she was good to go in that respect), but because she'd been forced to wear her running shoes from that morning. At least they were black. She could swap most articles of clothing with her BFF, but Kara's footwear looked and fit like clown shoes on her child-like feet. It also meant that she was looking particularly tiny next to the blonde amazon and her wedges, but whatever, nothing new there.<br/><br/>Shrugging to herself, she took another lick of her black cherry ice cream before following the blonde inside. The pub had moody lighting, especially since the owner had neglected to replace a few fried light bulbs, but Vivi still easily recognized Bence's distinctive silhouette from across the room.<strong>"Huh. No wonder you took off running."</strong>She tossed Kara a sidelong glance before strutting over to join the incredible Hulk. In turn, several glances were also thrown Vivi's way from all around the pub, while a couple of the patrons who lacked subtlety stared more openly, but it didn't bother her. She was quite used to being stared at and usually invited it.<br/><br/>"I'll take the winner," she announced from across the pool table, seeing that Bence and some other guy were already setting up a game. Feeling a trickle of ice cream run down her fingers, she dipped her head down to lick it off while her gaze jumped to Purple Hoodie, who also had a matching bruise around one swollen eye.<strong>"Jesus."</strong>That's when it clicked.<strong>"Lemme guess, you got jumped by a mob of psycho clones at the Athletic Center? Classic."</strong>She shook her head as if he should have known better.<br/><br/>At first, Vivi was going to ask which of them was down to buy a couple of hot girls some drinks, but Bence's new buddy looked like he needed them more.<em>Next round's on me,</em>she projected the thought towards the other rangers as she lifted her butt up onto the second pool table which nobody was using.<em>Vivi, by the way. That's Kara.</em>She motioned to the blonde with a slight tilt of her head before going back to work on her ice cream, licking around the edges of the cone to keep it from dripping again.
