Test Scene
Adrienne would, if she was forced to admit it, admit that she rather liked the Thunderbolts. She had been playing Robin Hood for quite a while herself, but it was rather a nice feeling to be doing something positive with her life here on a different kind of scale. And the converted firehouse was pretty fancy, as far as digs went.

Also, they didn't ask questions when she went out at night and sometimes wasn't back the next morning. ...Too often, anyway. And the guy had deserved it.

Also, big screen TV, Olympics. The long jump.

"Sacre bleu! You call that a jump?! My fa-thair could do twice that and on a bro-can leg!"

	"Wouldn't the Olympics be considered too dull for your dad's taste? Manny asked, flopping on the floor Indian-stule with his gallon of ice cream. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A little blue ball of light appeared in the middle of the room and blinked for a moment. But before anyone could have time to let that random sight register, a swirl of familiar blue flame right above the armchair brings Martin in the room. "They should have more interesting sports in the olympics than long jump." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He does prefer to get his excitement elsewhere," she confessed. "No chall-ange in competition like zat." She jerked, startled, when Martin arrived. "Mon dieu! You should warn someone before you do zat!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny is decidingly nonplussed. "You'll get used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin sighs in frustration. "Ugh! But I did warn you this time! I even sent that blinking light thing! Did nobody see that?" He'd even taken the suggestion from last time and sent a warning ahead! There was just no pleasing people. At least Manny was getting used to it. Good, because if he wanted to scare Manny he'd prefer it happen when he was actually trying.

"So why long jump? I think the fencing is cooler."

	"Zat is your idea of a warning? Incroyable..." Adrienne grinned. "One must always be aware of ze competition, no ma-tair how pathétique zey may be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny raised an eyebrow. "Que? You think a bunch of long-jumping hombres are going to try and take your job?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, it was far too obvious a warning," he muttered to himself, clearly put out. He normally didn't even send warnings. "I think the ones you should worry about are people with powers to do really long jumps. They'd be better competition. You can compete against Jack if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did not say zey were very good competition," Adrienne replied. "Jacque? Ah, oui! He is, 'ow you say, quite ze strange one, but ze boy, he can leap." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack was strange? Let it go, Mannuel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-27 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Martin personally thought she was a little strange too. But just a little. And mostly because he couldn't understand her some times. "He can be odd but he wants to be a big superhero is why." Because that certainly explained a lot to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ze_leaper 2012-08-27 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"Ah yes," she agreed. "He wishes to be ze big American super-hero. Good for him, I suppose. But he will nev-air be as big as ze heroes of France." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...What heroes are there in France?" He'd certainly never heard of any. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah, saw them on the news once with Ben Grimm," Manny recalled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-27 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Well that wasn't impressive. They only named one and some generic team name, and the one guy was some bird? Or did he just dress like one... "So what does he do?" Certainly not magic with a name like that... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He has his own flying costume," Adrienne explained. "And he is a master of Savate. Not as good as my fa-thair, and maybe not as good as moi, but still, quite good." She considered, "Also, he is a writer, in his true identity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-08-27 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	"And how do you know that? Is he one of those heroes that doesn't bother with a secret identity?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-27 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	A writer? What a silly secret ID. That sounded boring. "That's not a very interesting secret ID. Why bother with one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I met him once, a job for ze Silver Sable. He works for her sometimes." She shrugged. "I do not know why he both-airs, but if it works for him, c'est la vie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny shrugs, and then eats some ice cream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-27 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	Martin shrugs, "I don't have a secret ID." Well technically that's because he didn't have a civilian one since on paper he was legally dead. Details though. "What kind of ice cream is that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Even without a secret identity, Mar-teen," Adrienne said, "you must still have ze flair! Look at moi! I have no secret, but I am still ze Leap-air!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin makes a finger gun and without warning a bright blue light shoots out to explode into a multitude of sparkles in the middle of the room, like the mini firework it was. The self satisfied smile as he blows off the wisps of magic lingering on the tip of his finger says it all. Flair? Amateurs (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ze_leaper 2012-08-28 12:13 am UTC (link)

	magic_hands 2012-08-28 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"Oh it's not the sort of magic that will set fire to anything, don't worry." They should be more worried about the contents of the room changing colour or turning to animals if he'd aimed wrong. Not that that sort of thing hadn't happened quite a few times in this HQ before... He had done his best to cover up those accidents. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tre bien, Mar-teen," Adrienne said. "We may make a showman out of you yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Martin's showman enough," Manny assured. "He doesn't need work on it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-28 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	Martin tips his hat to Adrienne at the praise and shoots Manny a 'you're just jealous' look. People always wished they could do magic. Or at least they should, he thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Adrienne chuckled. "You are good," she said, "though you are still no Jerry Lewis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who's Jerry Lewis?" What? He was young enough not to get most references, and if this was before even Manny's time... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In your opinion," Manny corrected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-29 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't get it...why would I want to be Jerry Lewis?" What was the point of being a comedian. The best sorcerers were certainly not funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fif-tee mill-yon French people can't be wrong," Adrienne giggled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-08-29 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Manny just shrugs and eats some ice cream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-08-30 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Completely missing the reference, all he can think is that yes, they can be wrong. He leans over to try and catch a glimpse of just what kind of ice cream Manny is eating. (Reply to this)(Parent)
