Sirens
Sirens went off for the fifth time of the night, less than two blocks from Lisa's apartment in Mutant Town. Not that this was anything new. The recent crime wave, the drug traffic, and just the fact that it was District X meant that something was always going on. Or going down. Deals, hookups, people looking for fixes, college kids looking to dash in and out of the wrong side of town, everything that made the district come alive, and was slowly killing it.

Lately though, it seemed like the death of the area was approaching faster than ever. It was time to start taking action.

She called up her female co-star.

	"I'm free after the stuff at the Plaza in the morning. Are we going to be able to trust these people to answer correctly or am I going to have to sing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mm. I could snack on a telepath to be on the safe side, but I'm more in favor of picking up strength and durability in case I need to hit a panic button. Be ready to do some quality control on our answers." She flips open another address book of 'contacts', licking her lips as she does so.

"I don't think it'll be an issue. We're the pretty ones from X-Factor, remember? People like us."

	Pauline chuckles a little. "I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You really okay with this? I know you and Dino are all out and proud mutants, but Mutant Town can be... well, it's something to see." Honestly, she's looking forward to some potential culture shock, but she doesn't want to hear it from Julian if she gets a co-worker damaged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not like I've never been there, Lisa. I've gone with Miss Vange plenty of times, and we played that little club on 11th Street three times in the year before we started with X Factor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh... well good then." Maybe Blueberry isn't as sheltered as she seems. Lisa makes a note to actually consider talking to her co-stars more. "You just had a show before New Year's, didn't you? How'd that go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We did well," Pauline said pleasantly. "I liked the way we fit 'In My Backyard' into the set -- I had to be careful, though. My date for the night was at the show, and I had to be careful not to look at her, because you don't want genuine smiles during a song like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One corner of Lisa's mouth twists into a smirk. "You're dating someone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. If it starts being a regular thing, check with boss-man in case she has to sign off on anything before stuff gets filmed. So what do you know about Mutant Town? Ever headed underground?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indie_minor 2011-01-17 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Mostly Miss Vange's clientele and the club scene. Only been underground once, when I was 14." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Went down to get away from the crowds for a while. There were a few people, but everyone was keeping to himself or herself. I didn't sing. Had the feeling I really didn't want to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah... they're not what you'd call a chatty bunch, not that I can blame them." Lisa nods to herself. "Haven't been down there since X-Factor took off. Far as I know, there's always been mixed feelings about mutants who live more in the public eye, down there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, probably." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, we'll see what we can find out just talking to the standard residents at first. I'll meet you at the plaza tomorrow. Keep it casual, and bring a flash-light." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. Can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)
