A Date Interrupted
Marrina and Mason were just leaving the movie, having just seen Scott Pilgrim vs the World, staring Canada's favorite son, Michael Cera. It had been a pretty good movie, overall, though the fight scenes were a bit over the top. Giving the super-villain battles they'd been in, it was hard to find them realistic, even with the over the top attitude of everything else.

"You know," Marrina told him, as she took his hand, "Michael Cera kinda reminds me of you."

	"You think so? I'm still trying to get my head around the demon hipster chicks." Mason shakes his head skeptically, then grins. "It was a fun movie though. Definitely the second best one I've seen take place in Ontario." He smiles, slipping an arm around her waist and nuzzling her shoulder. "Of course, I could be biased because of the company."

	"Oh, definitely. You're both these sweet, nervous, geeky guys. It's adorable," she assured him. Marrina smiled. "You're too sweet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason smiles and stops them in their tracks, turning them to hug her, giving her a quick kiss and touching his forehead to hers. "Well I'll take your word for it. I at least haven't heard anyone tell me the opposite." He pulls back a little, something apparently on his mind. "So, I wanted to ask you--" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Before he can continue, there's a faint rumble, followed by a manhole cover bursting open and an Atlantean male bursts forth, brandishing a club made out of coral. "MISTER JEFFRIES! PREPARE YOURSELF!" He charges. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What on Earth...?" Marrina gasped. She took to the air, ankle-wings fluttering rapidly, trusting Mason to be able to be able to take care of himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I knew it! He finally sent an assassin after me!" Mason yelps as he scrambles backwards, away from the assailant, erecting barriers from the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Atlantean smashes apart one of the barriers, catching sight of Mason once more. "If you struggle, it will only make it harder! Yield before me, and I will end you with relatively little pain, before I claim the princess' hand as my own!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina had already swooped down to strike, but skidded to a halt in mid-air when the "claim the princess's hand" bit came up. "Wait, what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason had already called ahead asking everyone to meet him in the Temple of Boom when he and Marrina got back. "Hey guys... sorry it's kinda late, but... uh... there's kind of a situation. With Atlantis. And Marrina. And me." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marrina took a deep breath. "Apparently, the council of Atlantis has arranged suitors to fight for my hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seven of them in all. Well, six now. Six presumably very dangerous, very crazy, Atlantean nobles. All who want me dead apparently, because Marrina and I are dating, and they think we're... ah... doing stuff." Mason enunciates almost every word. A pause. "I'm the squishy one here!"

	"That's... a good question, actually," Marrina said. "No one ever brought this up to me before, except maybe for a couple of advisers asking why I hadn't chosen a consort yet. But I pushed them off and Namor was glaring enough to get it tabled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-09-14 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina went to the comm room, using the communications suite there to contact Namor. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Mason had agreed to let Marrina do the talking, but was waiting outside the room in case he was needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After several minutes, Namor appears on the screen. "Marrina, my darling. I am glad you called. There is a matter of import that I need you to come to Atlantis for, as soon as you are able." Namor tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina fought to keep her expression neutral. "This... wouldn't have anything to do with the Atlantean who attacked by boyfriend, would it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-09-15 02:40 am UTC (link)
	In spite of everything else, Marrina smiled. "That's great," she said, and meant it. Her sister deserved it. Curiouser and curiouser. The one they'd fought had said it was Namor's idea. But while Namor was many things, a liar wasn't among them. "Okay," she said, after a minute. "I'll be there as soon as I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We will be waiting, Marrina." Namor says, closing down the link. He tells his people to immediately make preparations for Marrina's arrival and for a major ceremony. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once the door to the comm center opened, Mason stood up, tilting his head at Marrina in concern. "Well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
