Just A Night, Just An...Ordinary Night?

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:43 am

Anika was having a smoke around the garden. Staring up at the sky, she thought for a few moments, taking a long drag from the cigarette. A small smirk crossed her lips as she thought about everything that had transpired so far since she arrived. "Maybe this place isn't so bad." She murmured to herself.

((Open!))

"Oh, hello!" Nina said cheerfully as she stepped out of a hedge.

She was holding a jar of mystery fluid and there were leaves in her hair.

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:03 am

Anika gives a wave with a smile. "Hey there, beautiful. How are things?" She asks, looking the jar over curiously.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:06 am

Nina beams, "Great! I'm making pigeons. How are you?"

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:24 am

"Making pigeons?" She sounded a bit confused, but waved it off. "Something for science, I'm sure. I'm doin pretty well. Just taking a break and thinking. It's needed every now and then, you know?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:27 am

"Of course," Nina says. "I'm often alone with my thoughts. It's usually a bit more involuntary, but..."

"Oh. That's right! I saw you at the party thing," Nina says. "With Ms. Valentine. Did you have a good night?"

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:29 am

"It wasn't bad! The party was pretty nice, I have to admit. I hated being in that stupid dress, but hey. It is what it is, right?" She says with a wink.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:41 am

Nina giggles, "I thought you looked nice. Very sophisticated."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:51 am

"Well thanks." She said with a smile. "You looked pretty damn nice yourself. I saw you arguing with that guy about...what was it about? Particles or something?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:04 am

"The Pym particle guy? He was a fool," Nina says. She rolls her eyes. "He thought he could impress me with some basic knowledge. Idiot."

"I don't know what he was expecting from me," Nina says. "Those people confuse me."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:26 am

Anika gave a shrug. "Can't say I know what a Pym particle is, nor do I really care, but hey, you're the expert on it. If you say he was being dumb, then I believe you. Did you have a good time, though?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:28 am

"It was alright," Nina says. She hugs her jar a little tightly. "Kind of wish I had brought a date. There were a lot of couples."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:30 am

"Pft. But how many of those couples will stay together? We're to young to tie ourselves down, you know? Like I said before, it's best to just go out and have fun. Live a little. Relationships can be damn stupid."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:35 am

"Says the girl that shows up at the dance with Victoria freaking Valentine," Nina says.

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:03 am

She gives a shrug. "I'm not looking for a serious relationship. If she is, then sucks to be her. She's a damn good lay, I'll give her that. But honestly, fun is all I'm looking for."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:17 am

"Yeah. I'm kind of the same way," Nina says. "Only without the whole actually having fun part."

"But I do have a jar of pigeon stem cells. So, I have that going for me."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:35 am

"Pigeon...stem cells..." She didn't ask, she didn't want to know. Okay, maybe she did. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:39 am

"Make pigeons," Nina says. "It's harder than it sounds! Pigeons are super complicated."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:43 am

"And...why are you making pigeons?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:47 am

"To win a fancy pigeon show in Pickering," Nina says. "First prize gets a boss trophy."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:14 am

"No shit? I didn't think you'd be a competitive kind of girl. What all do you have to do to win this? Biggest pigeon? Smartest?" She wasn't really *that* interested in it all, but hey, Anika liked contests.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:17 am

"I don't know," Nina says. "I didn't read the rules."

"What have you been up to? Anything exciting?"

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:29 am

"I wish. Not much to do around here, you know? Getting kind of bored, to be honest. You can only beat the shit out of someone so many times before it gets kind of sad."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:37 am

"That's an understandable reaction," Nina says. "There is not much to do here. You pretty much have to make your own fun."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:44 am

"What do you do to make fun? I mean, besides...pigeons?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:25 am

"The same things any girl does," Nina says. "Reverse engineer biomechanical technologies, rearrange my culture samples, go out for drinks...you know. That sort of stuff."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:28 am

"Reverse engineer bio..." Anika just blinks a few times. "Hell, Nina, why haven't you gone on to be a doctor or top researcher or something? You're really a genius, you know."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:48 am

"Because I'm an unstable borderline sociopath with a long history of ethical violations," Nina says, smiling brightly at the compliment.

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:49 am

Anika chuckled. "All I heard there is that you're not afraid to try new shit out and you don't care about pushing people's buttons."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:57 am

Nina giggles, "Maybe if most universities or corporations were as sweet as you, it'd be a different story."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:59 am

She laughs. "Sweet? Bloody hells...far from it. You really think I'm sweet? I'm gonna have to change things up if you're coming to that conclusion." She joked, giving Nina a wink.

((This is my last post for the night! It's really late here. See you tomorrow

))

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 12:16 pm

"Oh, I'm sorry. My mistake," Nina teases. "You are a tough and mean person who is not nice at all."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:29 pm

"There we go. Inflate my ego a bit. You'll get pretty far." She says with a wink, teasing right back.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:05 pm

"How far? To Akron?" Nina asks. "Because I've always wanted to go to Akron."

It did not sound like Nina was joking.

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:18 pm

Anika decided to humor her for a bit. "Sure, why not? What makes you want to go there?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:20 pm

"I don't know," Nina says. "Which is why I've always wanted to go. I want to find out."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:23 pm

"You feel that way about every place out there you haven't been to?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:24 pm

"Of course," Nina says. "Don't you? I like to try everything. Every experience is valuable data."

by **Anika Sloan** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:32 pm

"You're preaching to the choir, love. Traveling around is invigorating. New, fresh things and all that. Try anything once, right?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:34 pm

"Exactly!" Nina says cheerfully.
