The End of One Show Just Starts Another
Chris had always thought that the six day interval between Christmas and New Year's was the hardest section of days on the calendar to get anything done at all. However, this year on the 28th, she had something she damn sure wasn't going to miss. Pauline had invited her to come to one of her shows, and to go out afterward for sandwiches and whatever else.

For fun, and to make sure Pauline saw her there, she'd brought along a sign with a picture of a kitten with "I CAN HAZ!" pasted beneath it.

She couldn't help but grin as the band was introduced and brought out.

Pauline doesn't manage to notice Chris during the opener. "Sects and Violence" always has her bouncing on her heels, pouring on the energy too much to keep that good an eye out.

It's amidst "Of Rice and Yen" that she sees the silly sign and notes who it is. Pauline grins. But fortunately, she's over it soon.

After all, she can't go around looking genuinely cheerful during "In My Backyard."

	Chris nods when she sees Pauline spot her. It's a good show, and her girl can definitely sing. None of that studio-produced voice. It's the real thing. After the conclusion, and roaring applause, Chris waits near the backstage entrance for her date. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pauline downs a glass of water after the last encore and heads to find Chris. "Hey there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-12-30 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Chris smiles and greets her with a wrapped package. "Hey you. Merry belated Christmas. It's cold out." Inside is a tastefully faded black denim jacket, with streaks of a shade of red toned to complement Pauline's own coloring. "The show was fantastic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indie_minor 2010-12-30 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"Aw, thanks!" "I got a little something for you, too. Happy Pre-New-Year." And she'll hand her a small thin box containing...leather. Just leather, not a leather anything. "It's recycled leather. The supply-side being a little iffy sometimes and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-12-30 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"Score!" She can't help but paw through the pieces. "This was really thoughtful. Thanks." If it were further along in the date, Pauline would be getting a kiss, but Chris is still feeling things out. She smirks as she looks at her own handiwork. "I was hoping the color-match would go well. The liner snaps in and out so it's good for warmer weather too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hah, try it with fur sometime." Chris shakes her head. "You all set to go? I'm starving." She carefully refolds the leather to fit it into her messenger bag more easily. She'll find a recycling bin for the box. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Doorstep pym_kitten 2011-01-11 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	A little time to digest, and a lot of dancing later, Chris and Pauline arrive at the latter's doorstep, pleasantly exhausted from the evening's events. "So..." Chris faces Pauline, holding both her hands between them, examining her shoes for a moment, before looking up again. "...I'd like to do this again sometime." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: The Doorstep indie_minor 2011-01-11 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"That could be real nice. Gotta take things as they come a little, you know?" Pauline slips one hand away enough to move it up to her shoulder and lean in more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Doorstep pym_kitten 2011-01-11 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	Chris gives a happy little shudder at that, blushing. "I agree." She licks her lips and her own hands make their way to Pauline's waist. "So we've agreed we'd like to see each other again sometime." She restates, grinning like a fool. Wait... when did she start kissing Pauline? Shouldn't she be aware of having moved in to do that? Oh just go with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Doorstep indie_minor 2011-01-11 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Pauline kissed her intently. What got out of control for her was when she started to hum a little against her lips. She abruptly broke it off. "...sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Doorstep pym_kitten 2011-01-11 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Chris rubs her lips, eyes flickering to feline for a moment. "Don't be. It was nice." She smiles, then pauses. "Or was that some kind of acoustic prelude to potentially Hulking out or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Doorstep pym_kitten 2011-01-11 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Chris blinks as she processes that. "I see." She nods and strokes a hand over Pauline's cheek, fingertips trailing over her jawline. "Duly noted; I'll do my best to forgive any heat of the moment stuff, but probably best to keep any groping to skin level for now." Her eyes half-close as she gives her date a somewhat wicked gaze at the mention of skin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pauline smiles. "If there were any accidents, I couldn't get lots of actual information or anything. It's all certain parts of the brain. Emotional stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The Walk of Shameless

2011-01-12 04:47 am UTC (link)

The dancing and pleasant delay at Pauline's doorstep had left Chris catching the last of the off-peak trains coming back to Salem. Technically she was old enough she didn't need to worry about a curfew, but she'd just as soon not talk to Logan or Fearless Leader at a quarter after five in the morning.. As soon as she was on Institute grounds, she transformed to her catgirl form, helping her creep inside a bit more quietly.

	Chris doesn't spook, but she does turn around rather quickly. "Hey..." She grins, then chuckles. "What if I did?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, I'm glad. That smile on your face suits you. Should do it more often, Kitten." Joey smiles, stretching a little.

"You're...different lately. In a good way, not that you were bad before. How do I say this...?" Joey says, looking her over for a moment.

"Your don't do the coloring with your hair and brings out your eyes. You smile more and you've got a bounce in your step, even when you're all Hello-Kitty. What's her name?" Joey asks.

She smiles. "Yeah... there's a girl, but... there's other stuff." Chris leans on a wall as she collects her thoughts.

"Ever since Providence... everything about my power just feels more natural. None of that... how do I describe it... it's like there was this friction between what makes Mom like she is, and what makes Dad like he is. They didn't go with each other, but there was no way to untangle them either. Now..." She flexes a hand, and it morphs, only about halfway down her arm. "It all just flows."

Her eyes flick upwards to her hair. "Haven't really thought about that much. Just tried to look more pretty and natural for the big formal event. Pink and violet highlights don't really mesh with a ball-gown. Haven't bothered changing it back, it's pretty close to my natural anyway."

She smirks. "And yes... the girl. Her name's Pauline, she's the co-vocalist for Now I Can Haz Machinegun. They're that group that got pulled into that whole X-Factor thing. Adorable, sings like awesome, and Anya set me up with her as a date for the Stark party." The smirk stretches into a grin. "I met her after I went to her show to-- yesterday night. Dinner and ice cream and a lot of dancing afterwards... and I walked her home."

She doesn't kiss and tell, but her eyebrows flick upwards.

"Wait...you mean the blue girl from X-Factor? Dude! I've got a running bet with, like, five people that if X-Factor ever kills anyone, /she's/ the one they have hide the bodies." Joey says, chuckling.

"Seriously, it's good that you're doin' so well. Everyone should be happy. So now everyone in X-Force is seein' someone except Ana-Pants. Of course, she's a little more of the grumpy type, but I bet we could find her someone." Joey says, half-seriously. He's been looking into the idea for awhile, but Ana-Pants is hard to "shop" for.

	"Hell, if I'd known you were so determined, you could have pointed me at her." Chris laughs. "Tell you what, I'll keep her in mind as a backup. Pauline and I haven't said we're exclusive or anything, but freedom to mess around elsewhere's not the sort of thing I go and just assume. Bad form." She cocks her head. "So what's got you up early, or still up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know if Ana likes girls, so I didn't think of it. Actually, it's hard to tell what Ana-Pants likes. She's hard to read most of the time." Joey says. "I'm just trying to surprise Babe by being up earlier than her. She doesn't think I can do it, but I'll show her." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
