Not you again!
So after the torture that was karaoke and then later having to deal with the...Pippi girl, well...Thomas needed to get out of the city for a short bit. And the arms dealing he'd been working on shutting down in Gotham had a trail that led back to Hub City. After the fiasco last time he'd tried to shut down the arms trade in Gotham (and had a buffoon crash it then think he was helping well...) he needed a big win here. That last encounter had ruined his plans and he'd needed to start from scratch.

No, this was not a happy Robin swinging towards the secret meeting place.

	And none to green space rocks either unfortunately... "Just asking to see if there was anything that shouldn't go on the pizza," he responds, purposefully ignoring the capital letter declaration there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No need. I'll pay, you were assisting me after all." And he didn't like to be in anyone's debt. "I'll order and bring it up to the roof." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Varon sighs, but decides not to quibble. "I shall await you there, then." He gives Robin a nod of respect, then makes a hop up to the roof with a mere feat of strength, rather than flying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robin appears later on the roof, swinging up with a large pizza box in hand. Meat Lover's Supreme of course. Because when you spent a full night crimefighting you tended to get starving. And no way was he going with vegetarian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Varon, through some means or another, had managed to set up a table and chairs for them to eat at. "Ah! At last! Let me assist you with that my friend. While you were procuring the food, I took the liberty of acquiring refreshments." A pitcher of lemonade and one of soda are each on the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Where did you get these?" He hoped Varon would return them. There was nothing wrong with eating pizza with your feet dangling off the edge of a building. But oh well. He puts the pizza down on the table along with the cheese sticks so they have a full meal. "Post-mission pizza it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I found some discarded scrap metal and crafted the furniture myself. I had the drinkware and beverages on the Interstellar Headship, my vessel." Varon explains, holding out Robin's chair for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-10-29 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Robin simply puts his hand on the back of the chair and pulls it out more himself before sitting. He doesn't need to, it's just to send the message that the chair pulling was not very appreciated. "Where are you from exactly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Varon seats himself and starts eating as well. "Oh, now that I am most happy to divulge, my friend.

I hail from the city of Tynol, the shining jewel in the crown of the Sombrero Galaxy that is the planet Valeron! Long have my people and our ways served as a bastion of peace and prosperity against the savage brutes that populate the rest of our planet.

This is excellent pizza."

	He takes note of the info to look it up in more detail later. "It's pretty good pizza, yes. Sounds like an interesting place. How does earth compare?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Terrans are.... very widespread. You seek to fill up and exploit every last bit of arable, and unarable, land you can find, you squabble over rights to fuel and perceived historical significances. You have nearly two hundred defined countries and more than ten times that many languages. The majority of your species treats other lifeforms, however rare, as disposable. While almost archaic by some culture's standard, and not widespread, you've made more technological advances within the past century than some cultures do in a millenium. It's beautiful and terrifying all at once." Varon says, leaning back in his chair and gazing up at the stars as he eats.

"Your fashions are undecidedly backward though. They seem to have peaked about forty years ago, and then just went... askew." He shrugs. "But the food and the women are amazing."

While he does manage to hold back a shot about how everything must be perfect then in the Sombrero Galaxy, he has to raise an eyebrow at the fashion one. "...The 70s? Really?" Talk about backwards. "But I'll agree on the food and women. Though I suspect the latter must be hard for you with all the strange customs."

As he says that last bit, an idea forms in his head and a decidedly mischievous smirk starts. Oh he has the perfect revenge for a certain someone. "Actually...I know someone who might be right up your alley for that. Civilian I saved a while ago, complained about lack of dating life. Very nice, quiet girl, does charity work and all. I think the best way to describe her, in your terms, is...a paragon of virtue. Helping the innocent and impoverished, while never failing to maintain that impeccable reputation for respectability and decency in the face of society's injustices. I think you'd get along."

	"Increasingly less strange, since a good friend of mine started my... ahem cultural acclimation process. My people had put certain things aside for the past centuries, but I'm beginning to learn about them... in-depth." ... "I am intrigued." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well," he shrugged. "If you're interested I can find her number for you. Seems like she needs to get out more and you might be good for that." Torturous too but he's not going to exactly say that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would be most honored, my friend." He grins broadly, raising his glass to Robin. (Reply to this)(Parent)
