Star Struck

It took a minute for Jasper to realize that he probably looked like a fool as he stumbled over to her. But in his line of work, finding talent was hard and it was even harder to hang onto said talent. She seemed a bit timid so pressuring her probably wouldn’t be the best route to take and that wasn’t him or his style to begin with. “For all it’s worth I think you did a wonderful job.” He said with a nod as she excused herself to get back to work.

Picking up clients at random locations is like trying to pick up women, sometimes you fail horrible and sometimes you take home a piece of gold. This time Jasper walked to the bar and took a seat staring ahead through the glasses and into the mirror. She was good, really good and with a vocal couch she could be great. The man sat in the chair staring at first into the mirror in front of him then back down into his beer mug. If he kept drinking he’d look like a drunk who’s blabbering some nonsense or trying to get into her pants because she had a beautiful voice. Flagging down the bartender he asked for an order of French fries and some barbeque sauce along with a soda.

After giving it about a half an hour and paying his tab he approached the girl once again, “Hi, me again.” He said innocently as he pulled his glasses from his face and slipped them back into his pocket. “This is probably going to come across as some horrible pick up line but I’m a talent agent and I’d like to learn a bit more about you. Here.” With that he reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. In doing so he pulled out a sleek looking business card and placed it on the table. “Here’s my card. You can come by at your earliest convenience and see me at the office or schedule an appointment for us to meet somewhere with my secretary. You name the time and the place and I’ll be there. With a little bit of practice you could easily go far and I want to help. Have a good night… Penelope.” He said reading a name tag before giving her a small wave and heading out the door.

The morning rolled around and like clockwork the man was back in his office at 9am in a pair of black slacks with a brown dress shirt and jacket. He stood the large window overlooking LA, it was a beautiful sight to see and growing up in the city he could appreciate the beauty of the city that some hated so much. His mind traveled back to the girl from the bar, hopefully she’d call or show up but who knows…

Nightwing: The New Knight(EasilyAmused and Jones Sparrow)

The so called ‘hero’s’ expression darkened as she went on to talk about her father and was met with a very unhappy gaze of her own. Did he honestly think she was lying? Her small hands bunched up into fists but she kept her composure as much as she could as he turned around and walked away from her saying something about looking up information on Harvey Dent. The blonde’s head jerked back when he climbed upon his bike. “You think you know!” The blonde shouted at the leaving bike. “You think you honestly know?!” It was frustrating to say the least. Too many people were accusing her father of being a bad individual and now even the so called ‘super-hero’ is doing the same thing.

Kicking her foot against the tire of her car she let out an angry grunt before placing her hands on her hips. Why was everyone out to get her dad?! And what’s with this Harvey Dent character? And how long was she going to have to wait for a tow truck to arrive and take her away from her; it would be rather awkward if Dick went by and saw her broken down. Maybe she should keep her distanced from him for a while. He was too nice of guy to get make him feel bombarded with the sudden attention from being in town. Plus he’d get enough of that as is.

A few days went by and the blonde kept in text contact with Dick most of the time. Nothing crazy or continuous but allowing him to know that she was around if he wanted to hang out. But instead she took her time visiting the library, digging online and looking through information at the paper and the stuff she was finding about this ‘Harvey Dent’ character wasn’t the best information she had ever heard… this guy seemed like her father, he couldn’t be! This man was a bad guy, an evil person hated by the town and Batman and everyone! Her dad was a great man! Her dad was a good guy, a nice guy and he helped people. He was getting companies out of deep debt; he was giving people jobs and allowing her to travel the world…

Abbie spent a long day going out for a drive before returning back into town. Her fingers drummed along her stirring wheel as she drove in her black shirt and blue jeans. A man stepped out in the middle of the road causing her to slam on her breaks in surprise. Her car screeched to a stop and she jerked forward, her hazel eyes wide in surprise as she stared down the young man.

The man was in a hooded cloak, his arms behind his back and a sinister smile on his face. His body turned facing the car as the blonde stared out her windshield at the snarling man. His arms left the confines of his back and his balled up fists rose into the air sparks of electricity exploded from the gloves and slammed down with a forceful blow onto the hood of her car. The last thing Abbie remembered was screaming for her life and passing out.

It has been several days since anyone has heard from Abigail Dent. Abbie came too finding herself tied to a chair, her wrists tied behind her and her ankles to the legs of the chair. Head spinning and eyes blurry she stared up at the figure in front of her.

“Sounds like they miss you. It’s funny though; if they knew who your daddy was, they wouldn’t give to shits…” The man’s voice said with his back turned to the young woman.

“So, that means you know who my dad is, and you know he’ll be coming for me.”

“And he’ll be killed.”

To that, Abbie began to laugh and laugh hard, “R—really?” She said through her laughs, “You think, you can beat him? You’re in for a world of surprises and a world of hurt….”

“Your father is Two-Face, I’m not scared of him; I’m the Electrocutioner!”

“And I’m the daughter of Two-Face and I’m on the new Bat-Brat’s shit list. Do you honestly think you’ll walk away from this alive? One of them is bound to kick your ass. The only difference is, one will let you live. The other, the one more likely to be pissed, will kill you.” To that the Electrocutioner turned around, activated his gloves and gripped her biceps causing her to scream out in a tremendous amount of pain. A pain that would only last so much longer because she had no doubt that her dad would be kicking down the door of the warehouse by the docks real soon! Either that or… Bat-Brat.

Star Struck

It was a long day for poor Jasper Collins. After sitting at his desk for nearly 9 hours listening to multiple people telling him why they should be considered to become one of his clients, he was feeling the headache. Shaking his head he ran his fingers through his hair before throwing himself back against the chair. “Oh god…” He said aloud as he looked up at the ceiling of his office. The high rise building of Los Angeles overlooked the city but he couldn’t help but enjoy the look of the ceiling. Why was his job so hard… okay maybe it wasn’t ‘hard’; the hardest part was listening to talentless people who thought they were talented.

The large chair spun and the brunette pulled his hands from his hair and allowed them to fall to the sides of the chair as he stared out the window overlooking the city. He needed to get out, he needed to do something but he needed to go undercover. The paparazzi loved to follow him even though he wasn’t the one who was ‘famous’ compared to his friends/clients. Then again when you’re the highest paying publicist in LA and commonly known as a star maker or ‘Mister Hollywood’, you do get a lot of unwanted attention.

Climbing out of his chair in his blue dress shirt and black slacks, the 37 year old threw his jacket over his shoulder and left his office shutting the door with a purpose, the purpose being to do something other than be in his office. A small sigh left him as he parked his car at his flat and went out for a walk, it was just a little past 7PM and the sun was setting on LA giving the beautiful city a welcoming glow to the night life before Jasper ducked into a nearby bar.

After about two beers and some French fries he was finally feeling at ease and settling down in his own form. A sigh left the man as he sat back in his corner and watched the crowd. People-watching was always interesting because very few people realize that people were actually watching them. Sometimes he would laugh; sometimes he would shake his head and others he would cringe. It wasn’t until the owner of the small bar announced that someone would be kicking off the karaoke night. His body shifted slightly in his seat as he watched the young woman get up on the stage.

He was nearly out of his seat in shock and stumbled over the chairs at were partnered with his table as she finally finished the song. Holy hell she was good; finally some talent after a talentless day. “Excuse me.” He said nearly stumbling over another set of chairs. “Hi,” This was new, normally people came to him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of glasses and slipped them onto his face. “Sorry to bother you, you are a really good singer. Do you sing often?”

Bump

Would love to crack out a male character including my male doctor.
Or any of the new characters I have listed above as well, just haven't migrated them to the site yet.

Anyone up for a cheesy bachelor TV show theme?
Where we mess with people?
Would prefer a 1x1 and we share control of the other people in the house.

I have a small idea for this but I don't want to go into huge detail without scaring people off.

Nightwing: The New Knight(EasilyAmused and Jones Sparrow)

The blonde bounced her legs gently on the bumper of her car as she played a game on her phone while awaiting the tow truck. Stupid car breaking down; maybe it was time to get a new one… but she loved her purple car. Could you blame her? It was purple! A smile moved across her face but it dropped. Oh god, what if Dick needed to leave his house for something and found her broken down on the roadside. She’d look like such a fool and probably a lot like a stalker who was finding any excuse to be around him. Oh god…

A small hand moved over her face and pulled down her features as the thought went through her mind. That would be highly embarrassing and god knows she ‘needed’ that right now. She didn’t want to bombard him with attention and bug him with more and more company when he most likely just wanted to settle in. Her head turned up, hearing a light sound of an engine echoing along the road only to see that it was a motorcycle with… great…

When he climbed off of his bike she slid herself off of the hood of her car and put her phone in her pocket then placed her hands on her hips. Her foot tapped lightly against the pavement under her feet and it became very apparent that she was not happy with the sudden appearance of Nightwing.

“Listen,” She said sharply as he rambled on about her father, “I don’t know what you ‘think’ you know but my father is a good man. He’s an entrepreneur who brings businesses out of their depths, helps people find jobs and allows people to grow. I don’t know enough about his business to be able to answer that but I will say that someone who’s from a rich family will normally be targets for kidnappings. That’s what happens in this town. Your suspicions are completely misplaced and I feel more stalked than I do protected at this point.”

She took in a deep breath and pulled her right hand from her hip and held it up. “I know I shouldn’t be ungrateful for you saving me at the Iceberg Lounge but at the same time; you’re insulting my father and it feels like you’re stalking me.” Her gaze moved to the ground, her foot kicking against the pavement. She didn’t want to be mean to him but at the same time, this was getting out of hand. “Everyone’s been after my dad lately, probing me with questions and demanding answers…” Her caramel gaze moved up to look at Nightwing as her hand dropped back to her side. “He’s all I have and everyone’s treating him like he’s a bad guy but he’s not. You have no evidences, just suspicions and that’s what get good people in a lot of trouble. Please just, just leave my dad alone Nightwing.”

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Why didn't Robin consider Robert a threat? She'd hope Robin would have done a little more research into who he was up against. Robert wasn't exactly an easy person to deal with, in and out do the courtroom, though he's gotten better, she had to admit that. Maybe not out loud but she was willing to admit that inside. But he was too good at his job for him to be taken as lightly as she felt Robin was... Maybe that was her job. She was getting to now Guy and reporting back to Robin; maybe he expected her to do the same thing with Robert, he just didn't feel like it needed to be said.

Feeling that was a safe conclusion. She continued on her casual walk into the office. Most girls strive to have the coy grace that Marian naturally excelled at and she showed no wrong step as she closed the gap between her and Robert. Stopping at the edge of his desk, she placed her hand gently upon the glossy oak. "Something wrong?" She repeated in a light questioning tone. "No..." Pause, "Well yes, but no..." She found herself moving against the desk leaning her butt against it and rested her small hands on the wood.

"It's nothing big... Or major. Just--- kinda wondering." She was having difficulty looking at him for some reason. Was this a good idea? Well... How else was she going to find out more about him and what he's found out about Robin Hood so she can throw him off the trail. At the same time, Robin might get mad at her... But Robert shouldn't be overlooked. Plus... As much as she didn't want to admit it; she had a good time with him on their 'not date'.

"If you had time, in the near future for..." Her blue eyes flicked back to him as she crossed her ankles and gripped into the side of his desk for balance. "Another 'not date'?" With that she pulled herself from the desk rather quickly.

"So yeah..." She said quickly back way her way towards the door. "Just---think about it. No rush and if... You don't want to--- that's okay too. Just--- a thought." By the time she finished stumbling over her words she was at the door frame. "Okay, bye!" With that she took off down the hallway to hide in her office with her door shut.

Really? This girl could shoot better than most people on the force, her hand to hand combat skills were wonderful, she's smarter than people give her credit for and normally a smooth talker with an unmatched charm that could make men crawl at their feet. And here she was, stumbling over her words like a fool to... To Robert Locksley!! What the hell?! Was she actually---nervous and unable to be flirtatious? What happened there!

The blonde sat at her desk leaning back in defeat in her chair. Her nervousness probably got the best of her and he'd not agree to anything with her. Her free hand tapped on the wood of her desk between he phone and her mouse while her other rested on the arm of her chair. Well that wasn't how she expected it to turn out... Good job you idiot!
