Hunting Grounds
Her friends told her she was an addict. She told them that so far as addictions went, hers didn't cost her a penny, didn't carry any risk of cancer, and the places she found herself at 2 or 3 in the morning were a lot nicer than on the corner looking to score a rock or joint.

So, she was at her usual haunt on the Middle East Side, or "Mutant Town" as it had become more commonly known. She knew she was dressed to kill, and was just looking for someone to have a good time with. If she could try something new, all the better. For the moment however, she had a nice virgin cocktail to keep her company.

	It wasn't his typical scene, but Zak was willing to give almost anything a try. And hopefully, he could keep a pretty lady and her cocktail company. "Hey there." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lisa flashed him a smile. "Hey there yourself, handsome." Not hard on the eyes, seemingly at least cleaned himself up for going out. She could do worse. She leaned back on her stool, resting an arm on the bar. "And what do you do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who, me?" he grinned. "Nothing too special." Yet, his skin rapidly changed color and physical property of the counter. It was hard wood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ooh, some kind of metamorph. Never tried one of those before. Lisa smiled wide and all but licked her lips. "Well then, a nice guy like you could ask a girl to dance. After she finishes her drink of course." She reaches over to stroke his arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-06 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	And she does. Zak smiles and asks, "D'you wanna dance, miss?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-06 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Only my mom gets called 'miss'." Lisa grins as she slips off the chair, finishing her drink and putting the glass aside. She offers her hand to the boy. "I'm Trish." Dance partners get a name. Dates get her name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-06 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"M'name's Zak," he told her as he took her hand and lead her away from the counter, "Nice to meet'cha, Trish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-06 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Trish followed along to the dance floor, moving actively but not too intensely, sizing him up for a bit. "So... going to ask what I do?" She smirks, closing some of the distance between them. "I'm kind of infamous around here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-06 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't go for that kind of info. It's not important to me." He moves well. You could tell he was no stranger to dancing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lisa keeps up nicely, still smiling.

"Well, it's really only fair that I let you know. They call me the vampire of the middle east side." She grins, showing teeth. "I'm a power-thief." She pauses, then shrugs as she moves.

"Well, power-divider, but that doesn't roll off the tongue quite as smoothly. I can take half of someone's power, and use it. One of the main reasons I come here as often as I do."

	Zak smirked. "That's a pretty damn cool power." He wasn't worried about her doing that to him. He had back-up if he ever got de-powered for some reason, and it was hiding in the back of his pants. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-06 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Mind if I try yours on for size?" She smiles, moving in close again, putting her hands on his shoulders. They're rather nice shoulders too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-06 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure. It'd be cool to see how others see me when I take on some properties." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She smiles and looks at him, her eyes turning black for a moment as he feels his power being siphoned. Her body tenses and she lets out a satisfied breath as she feels the intake happening.

She feels it out, then starts taking on the properties of her leather jacket. It happens slower than he absorbed the wood, but sure enough, her body changes.

"Awesome..." She lets out a breath that most people would associate with saying they need a smoke.

	It felt wierd, almost uncomfortable. But it was over soon and Zak watched intently as 'Trish' gradually took ont he physical properties of her leather jacket. He smirked. "Nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-06 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	She grins as she inspects one of her hands. "Funny, this is what Mom always told me would happen to my skin if I didn't wear sunscreen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you pull it off nicely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's my lot in life. On my own I'm nothing, but put a target in front of me... and I can strip them down as I like and take some for myself." Lisa smirks, tugging him off the dance floor and to a booth.

No sooner do they sit down than she feels the surface of the table, changing to that as well. "Just to let you know, this'll stick with me until I let it go. Your power feels pretty well behaved. Not too much of a fight to hold onto. Probably be with me until I go to sleep tonight.." She sits close to him. "Whenever that is."

	He smiled at her. "It doesn't have to be any time soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She winks as she tries out the steel of one of her rings, shifting again. "We'll see about that. Play your cards right and you might be around for your powers to come back." She flags down a waitress to put in an order for another mixer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-07 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned. "I hope we're not playing poker, then. I suck at that game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-07 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	She rolls her eyes, then smirks and scoots away a bit in her seat. "Nuh-uh, proximity privileges revoked for that one." She rests her head on one hand and eyes him. "So, you live in the city?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-07 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckled. First time that had ever happened to him. "No. I live off the beaten track with a lot of other mutants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-07 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	"'Off the beaten track'. Well that's wonderfully vague. You trying to be mysterious on purpose? I'll give you an A for effort, but a C on the execution. You look too wholesome to be mysterious." Lisa orders herself a shirley temple as the waitress arrives. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	omni_absorber 2010-02-07 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Haha. Well, so much for trying. I live at 'Xavier's Institute for Gifted Children'." He put on a rather announcer-esque voice persona when he said the name of his home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	your_talents 2010-02-07 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	That gets him another intrigued smile. "So you're one of those private school kids pretending to be normal to the rest of the world?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
