Original Prankster
Ah, New York. He hasn't been here in a while. He hasn't seen some of his little cousins (it had been a long time since trying to find irony in using 'little' had been funny) in a while, either. Never even got a chance to catch up on some of Iason's extraplanetary shenanigans.

And when he found that he and Kalypso were out and about alone, he went right after them.

"Miss me?" He said as he came to a sudden halt on the very street corner they were standing on.

	"Yeah, its nice to see people from home. Earth is nice, but still pretty unfamiliar. You're sure you need to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's nice to see you too, of course, but --" Oh, my how domesticated can you get? Suddenly, Sprite perks up. "Is that a flash mob?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whatever it is, please don't do anything to attract attention. Ikaris has said that we are to keep a low profile while among humans." Or so she had been warned when she was in Olympia. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He glances towards the window. "Is that a what, now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A flash mob, a kind of...performance art." Sprite looks over there hungrily. "And I won't completely mortify Ikaris. There's such a thing as sublety. Style. Please excuse me." And he was off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whatever he is about to do, it cannot end well," Kal said to her cousin. "We should probably grab lunch while we have the chance. Otherwise who knows how long it will be before we get a chance to eat again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 06:18 am UTC (link)
	"It can't end well, but maybe he'll just watch whatever it is and go scheme for a year or something. And not eating isn't a big deal, not like we need to... but it is enjoyable. And a good way to chat for a while. Everything been ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-27 06:28 am UTC (link)
	"This is Sprite and judging from everything Mom has told me about him, he won't just sit by and watch. He will do something and...." She rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." "Everything was okay," she said after a moment. "Ask me that again after whatever it is that Sprite is going to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 06:39 am UTC (link)
	He nods warily. "Yes, he will do something. The question is whether he'll do it on a whim, or wait and scheme and make the details perfect for a year or ten. Either is possible, and I'm not sure which is worse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let's go grab that food." She hook an arm around his and nudged him to get him moving. Sprite and whatever he was going to do could wait for a little bit. "How are you liking life here on Earth? Are you adjusting okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 06:46 am UTC (link)
	He's happy enough to be dragged along, and doesn't mind the looks they get. His cousin is cute, after all, and good company. And the one who really sort of understands the whole Eternal thing. "I think so. I have some good teachers. You got me off to a good start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-27 07:03 am UTC (link)
	"The Avengers are treating you okay? I'd hate to see what would happen if Mom found out they weren't. Goodness knows what she'd change them all into." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 07:10 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, its great there. Still kind of trying to fit in comfortably, but they're treating me great and teaching me a lot of things. So... speaking of which, I'm supposing Aunt Sersi wants to meet with me at some point?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-27 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"Good. I didn't think they would be mean or anything, just sometimes they can be difficult." Kal shrugged. "I assume she does whenever she gets home. She's been gone for a few weeks. She didn't say where she was going." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 07:24 am UTC (link)
	"That might be just as well. I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to say to her. I'm not too worried about difficult, anyway. Everyone is really nice, I'm worried I'm, uhm... a bit of a distraction though, now and then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-27 07:42 am UTC (link)
	"Mom will be glad to see you. The most she'll do is throw girls at you. Unless you're into guys and then it will be guys." Kal really wasn't joking. Her mother liked to enjoy life. It just happened to be a really long life. "It's not a surprise. You are incredibly good looking and some of them are teenaged girls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He laughs and shakes his head. "I like girls... Mom would throw ten kinds of fits if I didn't. And therein lies one of the two problems. One, I'm not sure what Earth etiquette is on these things. The whole dating thing seems like fun, but I'm not really ready for a girlfriend... especially a mortal one. I'm still kind of wrapping my brain around the idea of such short lives... and second, Mom will have ten more kinds of fits if I even think about seeing anyone for too long. We finally cleared up after our last trip that I can't handle kids yet, but she'd still prefer I get used to, erm, sleeping around is the term?"

"Well for guys, there's no social faux paux with sleeping around. Some guys make a life out of it. Tony Stark, Anya's dad, was infamous for sleeping around. He was one of the few mortals who could come close to competing with my mother. Which, I'm sure they've slept with each other at some point. For girls it's different. They're not supposed to enjoy having sex or have it with more than a few mem. Double standards. Mortals are strange at times."

"I'm sure my mother would say go out and have fun, whatever fun entails."

"Right, but those are social standards, which isn't the same as, well, how things work. I'm like dad that way, I guess. Worried about mortals' feelings and all. Besides, if one gender its fine for, what happens with the girls who are supposed to be looking for these life-long commitments when guys just sleep with them and go on? I don't want to make myself unwelcome either."

"Well the easiest thing to do would be to lay out the expectations right off the bat. Tell them that it's a fling and nothing serious. If they can handle it, you get to have some fun and if they can't, then you keep looking for the next one. Though I by far not the expert on this. Tony Stark may be a good person to talk to. The man lived that kind of life for a very long time."

	cosmic_son 2009-05-27 08:59 am UTC (link)
	He takes this in, then nods. "That's good advice, with one small flaw. One of the really cute girls there is his daughter. I'm not sure that discussion would go over so well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kal blinked and then started laughing. "You sure do know how to get into the thick of things. Daddies can be over protective of their daughters, that is true, but Tony Stark isn't like most dads. I've always gotten the impression that Miss Stark does what she wants with or without her father's approval or permission."

Kal shrugged. "You could always talk to my mother."

"I'm not sure talking to your mother would help. Or how much talking she'd let me do. I have a feeling I know her answer. And yes, I'm familiar with fathers and daughters... you should have seen the fireworks when mom tried to set me up with the Kree warlord's daughter, without mentioning it to her father... or mentioning to me she hadn't mentioned it to the warlord."

	"Your mother is a special case," Kal said. "She wants grandbabbies. My mother just wants me to have fun. As much fun as I can possibly stand, despite knowing that I have a boyfriend already." Kal shrugged. "Mom and Tony Stark are the only two hedonists I know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He rolls his eyes. "Believe me, I know she wants grandchildren. Despite being possibly the worst seductress ever. She has no concept of subtlety, no matter how many times anyone tries to get through to her. She'd completely flip if I ever tried to have a girlfriend. But this whole hedonist thing sounds like it has potential. I'm somehow sure it'll get me in trouble somehow though."
