Dinner
Kalypso had told Jack she would set something up for him to meet her brother Dae and she had done just that. She went with dinner at a casual place, nothing fancy, and a place that served nothing too exotic. She knew of Jack's sensitivity to strong tastes and smells and she wasn't sure of Dae's preferences. The two siblings were still getting to know each other and it would take some time. So simple fare at a small bistro it was.

Kal and Jack were a few minutes early and were shown to a table.

	Once they were seated, Jack took Kal's hand and squeezed reassuringly. He leaned close to whisper in her ear, "Anybody turns me into a furry animal and you'll have a very devoted pet following you around." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I thought you were already my devoted pet," she said with a wink. "If not, I guess I have to work on that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His smiled widened. "Oh I am, but you'll agree this form has better perks to go with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her smile grew. "I'll say it does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dae arrived about on time and made his way over to his sister and her boyfriend. "Greetings, sister. And you are Jack, then? It's nice to meet you." He extended his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kalypso greeted her brother with a smile. "Hello Dae. Jack, this is my brother Dae." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Jack rose from his chair and readily offered his hand. "It's good to meet you, Dae. Thanks for coming out to dinner with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded to both of them and then sat down. "It's not a problem. I was actually looking forward to this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I've been looking forward to it too. We didn't get much time to talk on Titan. I didn't know what you liked, so I tried to pick a place that would be acceptable to all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not much for spicy food," Jack admitted. "The menu here has pretty good reviews." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I have no particular preferences on food. Anything is good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Kal nodded. "I picked this place because they don't really have spicy food and they have a good variety," Kal explained. "So, Dae, are you back to work or have you just returned from Oylmpia?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Jack motioned to a waiter while the two talked so their drink orders could be taken. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	"I have gone back to work, yes. There was some very rushed explaining given to my employers about my absense, but everything remains in tact." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good to hear. Dae is a professor at Empire State University," she explained to Jack. "He's probably the only member of the family with a real job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Sersi was a successful party planner for years before she regained her memory and you worked with her," Jack reminded her. "It's not an easy business to be successful in. Were you raised here?" he asked Dae. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I was raised on Titan," Dae replied, "I didn't know that Sersi once had that profession. Although in truth, I had only been in her company for a short time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, but it was more so she could go to the parties than an actual real job," Kal said. "She hasn't worked since regaining her memories." She turned to Dae. "We had a slight problem with Sprite erasing all the Earth Eternals' memories for a bit. Mom and I thought we were mutants and she ran a party planning business for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Jack chuckled. "She works hard trying to move us in together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	"That is... interesting." He almost chuckled at Jack's comment. "Yes, Sersi does seem to enjoy setting people up." Even with herself, not that Dae was complaining. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Mom...is Mom. Though in her defense, she hasn't tried to move us in together for awhile now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Sersi's been very nice to me," Jack said, squeezing Kal's hand. "Not too many mothers would invite their daughter's boyfriend to move in while he's waiting for his apartment to be ready. Not too many that I know, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Sersi is a very nice woman. I can recall my first meeting with her here on Earth. It was... pleasant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	The waiter came over and Kal ordered the grilled chicken with vegetables. As much as her mother had her own life, Kal still didn't want to think about Sersi and Dae being together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Jack selected the grilled fish and rice. "That's right, you have different mothers. I have a half sister show up from another dimension with a different mother and it's on weird side when I think about it. I'm looking forward to meeting your father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Chicken fingers and fries. He'd never had that combo before. "Father is... an interesting man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-16 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"From what I've seen of him, I will agree with that," Kal smiled. Dad was another one she was still getting to know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-16 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"My parents are pretty normal, even by normal standards," Jack said. "Married and still together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-16 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Father had- has, a habit of sleeping with many women. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-17 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"Jack's parents are really nice," Kal said with a nod. "Very normal compared to our parents and family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-17 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"They loved Kal when she visited us in San Francisco," he told Dae. "Mom always asks about her, and my mother doesn't like people as a rule." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-17 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"She sounds like a very smart woman. My mother is slightly different. She is very much a people person." Just not in the same way as Sersi. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-17 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"I used mind control on her," Kal joked. "I made them love me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-17 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"Then I'll hope it doesn't wear off any time soon," he joked back at her. "My mother liked people that paid on a filled contract. Dad's a lawyer but he still manages to like people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-17 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Dae chuckled. "I'm not sure our fathers would get along very well. Earth lawyers don't seem to like mine very much. At least, not here in New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-17 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Dad takes mutant rights cases, so unless yours is against that, they're probably get along just fine. Mom's the dangerous one that doesn't play nice with others sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-17 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I think Dad would get along with Jack's dad just fine. Dad gets along with just about everyone." There was the exception of their uncle, but that was complicated. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-17 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	"I suppose he didn't mention his trial here on Earth, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-17 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Your dad was on trial here?" That was an interesting thing. An Eternal on trial. "Who tried him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-18 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I think I recall seeing something about him being on trial at some point, but I don't know any details. Of course this is before I knew he was my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-18 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I don't quite remember who tried him. But he was accused of using his unique power to manipulate women into sleeping with him. I won't speak on the whole thing, though. You should ask him about that yourself if you really want to know the details. Just know that it was all resolved. Just not on Earth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-18 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"I can do without the details," Jack said with a head shake. "I think I remember something about it. My parents moved from New York to escape the insanity of spandex and capes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-18 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like Dad alright," Kal said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-20 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"He sounds like an interesting guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sunspot 2010-04-20 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Very interesting indeed. Luckily, it doesn't run in the family." Much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-21 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"Something like that," Kal said with a smile. Kal had her father and her mother on top of it. The two were a lot alike in some ways. (Reply to this)(Parent)
