A Job Well Done
It had been a long two weeks in New York, but in the end they had managed to get quite a few recruits for the new shows. Now that they were just about done here in New York, they'd be heading off to Los Angeles. There were always people looking to be the next big star in that town and recruiting should be easier.

The screening process was slow because the boss didn't want just anyone in the shows. He wanted people that would deliver action and most importantly ratings. Not your everyday ordinary Joe Schmoo off the street would do. The boss wanted people with charisma, or ones who could provide a lot of action. Mutants were great for the latter and they couldn't just come out and ask people if they were mutants. There was a battery of very specific questions and then a small "screen test" to see what they could do.

So far the boss had been pleased with the ones that had been found and sent back.

They had two more days here in New York and then it was off to Hollywood where the pickings would be better and easier. Sweepzweak couldn't wait to get to Hollywood where sun and beautiful women awaited.

	Chris kicks out like a mule, tensing the rest of her muscles to dull the blade's impact, claws fully extended on a foot-paw now the size of the boy's head. She hollers to the rest of the team. "Take the rest down hard! This one's a talker, he'll give up their location when I'm done with him!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Indeed I am. I'd much rather talk this over, say, over coffee." he replies glibly, as he does a one-handed cartwheel out of the way of the kick, brandishing the blade again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris shifts further, growing exponentially in size, now more comfortable on four limbs, even if she could still manage two. She's beginning to become a definite presence in the room. She charges the annoying little jackrabbit, ignoring what's becoming a much less imposing weapon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The weapon wasn't that imposing in the first place, as these things go. He flourishes with the blade a couple times, then does a forward flip over her shoulder, bounces off a wall, and comes up at a new angle, trying to use her size against her and make her keep turning. "I definitely preferred you before, beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rather than turn, Chris raises an increasingly large paw and slams it down towards him. This guy was a pest as well, but at least his tastes seemed within the bounds of reason. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unexpected, he dodges by the narrowest of margins, his shirt getting torn on a claw in the process before he dodges with a pirouette. "And creative too. Its a shame you're so determined to fight with us. You'd be a huge star." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why do I keep getting all the freaks? Dancing, great. She's losing to a frickin dance-queen. She feints with another downward slam, ending up using it to launch herself forward to thrust with her other forepaw. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She doesn't appear to be losing, since, while he follows the move with a quick stab, the semi-sharp sword doesn't do much damage to her massive form. He appears mostly intent on defense, and on keeping her occupied.
The gets hit this time, thanks to the feint, though he rolls with it- literally, going into a backward somersault, almost over exaggerating how hard she hit him.

"Nice moves. You'd be a natural action star. Leading lady material all the way."

	Shows what he knows. She'd rather work in costume design anyway. Chris does her best to press the advantage, trying to drive him into a corner with wild slashes, mixing in the occasional snap of her jaws to keep it unpredictable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sweepzweak proves hard to pin down. Just as it appears she's succeeding, he darts back, bouncing back and forth up the corner, wall to wall to run up it, like something out of a ninja movie, before doing a flip back out to the center of the room, brandishing his sword again. "Or perhaps the villainess. You can be as intimidating as you are pretty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A whip of the tail to distract him, followed by two savage swipes as Chris' size wavers momentarily. Her higher processes are starting to get a bit fuzzy as she maintains her transformed state, including her sense of caution. She's taking up a considerable portion of the room now, snarling fiercely at her opponent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He weaves between combatants, her own teammates included. If she's going to fill half the room and attack that fiercely, he'll damned well use her own teammates against her, and it may have been part of his plan. Now and then he pokes at her with the blade, though the cuts, at worst, wouldn't be bad. "Sound and fury, sweetheart, sound and fury." (Reply to this)(Parent)
