Might as well look the part... (open, New Guardians)
Heather was sitting in the middle of the New Guardians' living room, idly watching the Cubs game on the television, but mostly focusing on the sketch pad in front of her. She wasn't nearly as good with drawing as she had been with sculpting (even before sculpting got really easy), but she had a good enough eye for it, and had had plenty of color theory to back everything else up.

Carefully, she colored in the design in front of her, taking extra caution both because of her greater strength and simply because her sense of touch was not quite what it once was.

Yeah... Not too bad.

Considering she'd named them, putting her money a bit more where her mouth was was not necessarily a bad thing. Even if they weren't really supposed to be super-heroes.

	"Hey, Heather," Lenny greeted as he wheeled his way into the living-room? "What are you up to?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-18 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, hey Lenny," Heather said. "Just doing some sketches." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-18 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh yeah? What of?" he asked, coming over to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-18 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	Oooh, he probably wasn't going to like this, she realized belatedly. "Um... us, actually. The... team? Costumes, I guess." Which is why the one on top probably made it all the worse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-18 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	And for a very brief moment, Lenny blanches, looking a little pale. Compose yourself, man! "The art is very good," he managed. Focus on the facts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-18 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Heather forced herself to smile a little. Because, well, awwwkwwwward. "Thanks," she said. "I'm not that good at it, really. But I can do preliminary sketches for sculptures and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-18 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, don't belittle yourself. These are nice." Even if he didn't particularly care for the subject-matter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-18 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	She let herself actually smile. "Thanks," she said. "I mean, I don't know if we'd ever actually wear these or anything..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 12:13 am UTC (link)
	He smiles too. "Maybe..not sure I have the muscles to pull that outfit off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"You'd still look better than some of the other heroes out there," she said. Wait, what? Sooo many ways that could be taken. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 12:47 am UTC (link)
	And Lenny really wishes he was blue so he could hide the blush that was undoubtedly covering his face. "Um..thanks," Lenny says, trying to maintain his composure. "...sooo..um..what's yours based on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 12:55 am UTC (link)
	Oh, God, had she really just...? Yeeeah, she had definitely said that. Sooo pretending not to notice the blushing. Because she would be too. "Oh, um.." she reached out to grab the other sketches, dropping a couple, before finding hers. "Here we go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"It's pretty," Lenny complimented. "but would you be comfortable with your legs exposed like that? I mean I know a lot of the costumed crowd does, but I don't see the point. That that there's anything wrong with your legs." ...well shit, that hadn't come out like he thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, now it's Heather's turn to blush. Or it would be, at least, if she could. "I think I'll be all right," she said. "It's a lot less slutty than a regular Star Sapphire uniform. No hooker boots or peek-a-boo chest window." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	And Lenny tries very hard not to picture that...and fails. He shakes his head briefly to clear the image out. "Good point" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Heather picked up on a brief surge of something, but it was quick and faint, and probably was coming from Cindy and Saishu, since she was fairly sure they were in the building. "It's still kind of based on a Star Sapphire. The old one, who used to fight Green Lantern." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"You're basing your costume off a supervillain?" he asked, confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Just a little," she said. "It's a good look, and nobody really remembers that one anyway. I think there's some connection between the old one and the Corps that's around now, but I dunno what it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-19 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"...You're doing costumes," Jess asks picking up only a little bit of what whole thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-19 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Not exactly my area of expertise either," he admitted. "I was always confused how a supervillain had ties to a..Corps of Love?" And here comes Jess. Do NOT be awkward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-19 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Awkwardness? In the New Guardians? Heaven forbid! "Should maybe ask Ganthet the next time he shows up for lessons," Heather said. "Oh, hey, Jess," she added. "Yeah." She rummaged, finding the appropriate drawing. "I kinda based this one a little off of Jade, the old Green Lantern's daughter, truth be told, but I think it works...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-19 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Jess grins a little. "That's good, especially considering I'm more of a.... in your face kinda person. Covering up more makes sense. I like it." Jade, she puzzles over the name. "Green like me? Had a twin brother or something? I seem to remember something about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-20 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, went by the name Obsidian I think. There were documented cases of mental troubles which he caused him to fight against his family a couple times." He notes any looks they may give. "Somebody has to research these people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-20 12:39 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that's her," she said. She smiled. "Good job, Lenny. I know a little bit... mostly about the ones who lived in Opal thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-20 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"I know a little about the Green Lanterns. Not a whole lot Never had cause to learn, ya see." Jess shrugs innocently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-06-20 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"That's true enough. Now we got people like the Cyborg Superman and Hector Hammond af.." Lenny bit his tongue to keep himself going on a rant about how unfair this all was. "I think I need a drink. Be right back," Lenny says, heading off to the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-20 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	Well. Awwwkward. "So," Heather ventured towards Jess. "How's tricks?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-20 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah even Jess could see that. "Been good. Talked Harry into visiting my folks with me. We did the whole road trip thing." Jess looks amused by the whole thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-06-20 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Heather nodded. "Sounds nice," she said. "Road trip road trip, or teleporting road trip?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
