An [i]adventure[/i]. That sounded thrilling and exciting and a whole bunch of other -ing ending words that she couldn't think of in the moment. Could this be the start of a grand journey of growth and discovery, of friendship and camaraderie, of hardship and sacrifice? Probably not, it would probably be just a walk and talk psuedo tour of the environs until they stumbled onto where they needed to go but the point of the matter is it [i]sounded[/i] grand and cool and that was all it needed to be. An adventure. Moreover, an adventure with someone who knew how to work a digital crowd; if the whole hero thing didn't work, Riley was confident she could find some way to make broadcasting to strangers on the internet a viable career path. 

If she could survive nuking herself with radiation she could survive the bubble that was internet content creation! 

[color=A2CD48][b]"So, Jess,"[/b][/color] Riley started speaking as the adventure began, as they all do, with a step. It would be a boring adventure if she didn't talk to her guest party member. [color=A2CD48][b]"That handshake, I'm guessing that's not, normal?"[/b][/color] Riley paused a moment and realized that she was one to talk, hell everyone here would probably qualify as not exactly 'normal' to the eyes of the ones whose only super power was not losing their patience at the deli when a customer argues over pickles for fifteen minutes. [color=A2CD48][b]"Well, you know what I mean, I mean, like, [i]normally[/i] your abilities don't...glitch out like that? I thought it looked cool, it was like all...glitchy blinky! Hey, maybe that can be your hero name..Blink! Oh...wait...no...I think that's taken. Still, totally cool!"[/b][/color] 

The best part about an academy like this, Riley figured, was getting to know the other people and what they could do. She might've been alone in the thought but personally she felt like everyone's powers were cool no matter what. They were cool because they were special! She was going to have to keep a list once she figured out everyone's abilities, just so she could know or even help them think of cool names for their hero phase. She already had a first draft hero name so she assumed that put her one step ahead of most but still two steps behind those people who knew how to use their power at will. But what was school for if not learning!

[color=A2CD48][b]"How long have you had your powers? Is that too personal? I dunno if it is. I dunno if some of us are like...super tormented or pained by the knowledge of their origins or something dramatic. I almost died to get my powers! It was awesome! And S.H.I.E.L.D. paid my medical bills!"[/b][/color] Riley then pointed towards a building that was getting a decent amount of traffic to and fro. It seemed as good a place as any to search for their 1-D destination. [color=A2CD48][b]"Let's go in here, the D stands for Do Enter!"[/b][/color] 

This adventure business was easy!

In that moment, after paying attention to the body language, the cleared throat, the licking of lips, the way the girl's eyes couldn't seem to look away, Charlotte knew she had made the right call. More the loss for her brother, whose current claim of 'dibs' had been whisked away, quite like karma coming back round. Before responding to the One Who Stared, Charlotte gave a quick nod of appreciation towards Lydia - she didn't want to act like the only two people in the room were herself and Starstruck - Charlotte would have to remember that little name. [b][color=#ff0532]"Room mate, you said? I'm sure we'll get along swimmingly. We can gossip. Talk about boys."[/color][/b] Charlotte returned her gaze to the Southern Charm in the room, gazing towards her with piercing blue eyes. [b][color=#ff0532]"Or girls."[/color][/b]

Charlotte stepped further into the room, her height imposing but carrying her with confident strides. She assumed her brother was rolling his eyes, but she knew well enough that were the situation reversed (and it might well could've been had it not been for his lack of sincerity) he would be laying it on even thicker. When it came to the Children of Thor, they had a certain knack for this that made it seem...effortless. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, and what they had and used well was just...confidence. Show interest, if interest is reciprocated then go in for more. Simple. Effective. Learned from the best. 

[b][color=#ff0532]"You know, I don't play many games. But when I do..."[/color][/b] Charlotte was standing close enough to 'Dibs' that if it were any other sort of interaction it would look like she was about to fight. There was a knowing smile on the corner of her lips, an alluring lilt of the eyebrow, and a slight turn of the head all while her eyes remained gazing into the other pair of eyes. Intense contact, but not threatening contact. The kind of eye contact that almost made one consider doing something bad. [b][color=#ff0532]"I play for keeps."[/color][/b] Charlotte spoke in a lower, husky voice, just above a whisper that was meant for one set of ears but was heard by the room. And her grand finale was a simple gesture of trailing her finger slowly along Binx's jaw to her chin where finger and thumb gave a little parting flick. 

[b][color=#ff0532]"Let's play sometime, Binx."[/color][/b] 


[color=A2CD48][b]"Oh MAN am I glad I got that on stream!"[/b][/color] From behind everyone came the voice that some would likely be familiar with. [color=A2CD48][b]"If you guys kiss right now, could you keep it like...PG-13? I don't wanna get banned, but seriously, keep going, that is some primo flirting! One of you must have pheromone powers because whatever you two got going on? It's [i]working[/i]."[/b][/color] 

Riley Quinn had focused her phone camera on the little display between the two women. Thousands of people had witnessed the show, and based on the amount of emojis and caps in the chat...they loved it. [color=A2CD48][b]"Oh, you guys don't mind being streamed, do you? I'm kinda live streaming this, gotta keep my fans happy. Pretty soon they're gonna have to call me HulkStan620,000 followers!"[/b][/color] 

[color=A2CD48][b]"Oh, right, my friend and I are looking for a 1-D, do you guys know where it is?"[/b][/color]
