Smoke Ring #001 [In Person - Backdated to April 1st]

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[He's watched, is fully aware and from listening to everyone else, realizes that they're not in Kansas anymore. Or Amestris, if that's comparable.

Either way, the tall, blond, muscular Lieutenant (ex Lieutenant now? He's wondered that himself..) finds his linebacker able frame sitting silently, reflecting over a cup of coffee. If the time around here indicates anything, it's his birthday.

While concentrating on the watery ripples in the pool in front of him, he sighs a heavy sound, something he's been doing much of lately. A hand moves from his cup and through the untamed front of his blond hair and unruly bangs, back through it though it does nothing but momentarily displace it. The next movement is accompanied by a sigh and the recline in a creaky chair which he pays no mind, he's in some strange place against his will obviously and more notably, can't do anything about it.

He needs to get home. Something that no matter who asks, no one has the answer to.]]

Threadjack! [In Person] (since someone needs to keep an eye on Megs~)

[Having woken up with calico cat ears has been quite an experience, and she was still trying to get used to being able to pick even the slightest sound. So when she hears the unmistakable voice of her boyfriend, she goes straight to the pool room. Her ears lie flat against her head for a moment. That was too loud. And then she walks over.]

Megamind, don't scare the new guy.

[In Person] Yes, yes she does. She's got her hands fool with this one. XD

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

[Startled, he whips around to see his girlfriend standing in the doorway and his face morphs from innocent to busted.]

Oops.

[Then the ears catch his attention and he grins, pointing at them.]

Oh! I had those too!!

[didlookback.livejournal.com]

Really?

[Her ears flick.]

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[Jean, though not looking too completely impressed by this, at least isn't going to make anything of it. ...Even if he wants to he isn't sure that he can actually do anything against 'Megamind'.

Man, he thought his parents disliked him naming him an androgynous name.]]

Megam--

[[He turns his head and blinks at the approach of a dark-haired bombshell ...with cat ears. This place is determined to keep him on his toes, he's sure of it.

He tips his head respectfully and clears his throat. With females anywhere near him, the situation is much too nerve wracking for him to say much more than "Ma'am" politely and wish he had a hat on to tip instead of just looking outright nervous.]]

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! See I found out through someone who found out through someone else that people that have ears are....

[He leans in close to Roxanne and whispers.]

virgins.

[Addressing Jean, he grins]

Just Megamind if you please. It's a chosen name. The other name I had wasn't a good name. You likes?

[Not that opinions really mattered to him. He's used to criticism.]

[didlookback.livejournal.com]

[She raised an eyebrow at this.]

But I don't have a tail. Did you have one?

[She gives a polite smile to the blond man.]

Hello, I'm Roxanne Ritchi. I'm this guy's girlfriend. [She tilts her head towards Megamind]

Do you know where you are?

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

[He gives a sideways glance at Roxanne about the tail and one brow raises.]

*Crosses fingers about LJ -_-*

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[Jean's just staying nice and quiet after his first little interruption to the conversation, unsure what's really going on. He takes down the information mentally, but that's as far as all that goes.]]

[[He first addresses Megamind's go around.]]
Yeah I .. Yeah I guess that'd be a pretty good name, good as any I suppose. Long's a person likes their name don't really matter.

Girlfriend mm?
Lucky man, that's for certain-- I figure I'm in some sorta .. World. Been watchin' the little movin' picture box here.
[[He takes his communicator out, showing it, then feeling stupid instantly as though that were the only one. Ugh Jean, get it together.]]

I uh [[He figures he'll try and cover up his oops]]-- Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc.
[[As is customary he holds his hand out to shake the man's hand first, especially if this is a girlfriend. Treading on gentle ground here.]]

It's been a pill these past few days. I think it's okay.

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

[Acting all suave, he leans against the door in a sort of male pride fashion with a smirk.]

You better believe it. I'm the luckiest man around.

[Straightening up, he looks at the hand and juts out his own hand in a firm grip around Jean's hand.]

Nice to meet you, Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc. It's good to see a strong man in a uniform to help with the cause of keeping this Man-or safe from evil-doers.

-_- yes, yes it has *eats it*

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[Jean is absolutely inwardly amused by the animated personality this ..whatever this thing is has, person? Person. The sudden movements keep him on his toes, but otherwise so far it looks like there's really no worries for being assaulted.

'Strong man in uniform?' that was an interesting way to put it.]]

So far nothin' from home's been threatenin' this place, so I"m not quite sure what I gotta keep in line. But I'm no tenderfoot, you sayin' there's more than just a buncha' bored, event wrecked people around here?

Watch it. It's got splinters. XD

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

I don't really have an answer for that. This Man-or is like a giant experiment just dying to be dissected. It's belly waiting to be cut open just to see what makes it tick. Care to get your hands dirty?

[He smirks playfully. Of course Megamind isn't going to harm anyone here. He's generally harmless for the most part, just very animated and thinks of things like a giant game.]

Yo. Miss me?

[didlookback.livejournal.com]

[She notices that the this man, Jean, shakes Megamind's hand first. Lovely. And then the conversation catches her attention. She turns to the blond man.]

What do you mean by that? Is there something dangerous in your world?

:D YEP

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[Jean ...isn't so sure about that kind of wording. Dissected? Experiment?]]

..Not opposed t'helpin' out but I'm no scientist either. All my help's in my arms n' legs.

[[Jean takes a moment to think of how to phrase it gentle enough for a lady, it's impolite to just say "HELL YEAH there is" or something along those lines when there's a Lady present.]]

Yes ma'am, strong things, hard to kill things.

Same here!!

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

[Megamind is rubbing those hands with a menacing expression of "I'll take care of those".]

Ooh, sounds fun.

[Insert evil cackle from a not so evil alien.]

[didlookback.livejournal.com]

[She lightly elbows Megamind while still looking at Jean.]

What are they?

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[Jean's a little on edge, but he's not showing it, this guy moves fast but Jean's no slow-poke if it comes down to it.]]

Guarantee ya it ain't no fun. They're called 'Homunculus' Ma'am, I'm not an Alchemist, so .. not too sure what exactly makes 'em. There's lore of course but, only speculation.
[[Then again some of the humans working for them, or their cause, are just as bad, but he hasn't seen those people either so no worries in his mind.]]

Suffice t'say, if I see any of 'em come here, I'll warn whoever'll listen.

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Megamind rubs his ribs now from the light jab and he's keeping quiet, taking the hint that he should be listening and not butting in so quickly. The rub was more as a reaction than something from pain.]

[didlookback.livejournal.com]

They're that dangerous?

[Roxanne gently puts a hand on Megamind's arm, silently telling him that she didn't mean anything mean by that jab.]

..................... LOL I had to count on my fingers too ._.

[2ndlt-jeanhavoc.livejournal.com]

[[These two are definitely a tight knit two, that's something Jean's happy to see even happens here.]]

Yes Ma'am, they're that dangerous- vicious creatures. Sooner take your head off than shake your hand unless y'got something they want far's I've been able t' make out. If for some reason I ain't around and anyone's goin' by the seven names of the deadly sins- y'steer clear of 'em.

[[Yes, Megamind, he's looking at you.]]

Er.. If your home place don't have any mention it's: [[He raises his hand so he knows he's got them all, one by one counting them down and re-starting his hand when he needs more fingers instead of moving to the other one. It's a bad habit leave him be.]] Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, or Wrath.

LOL Shocker point number 1 is coming up. XD

[big-bang-blue.livejournal.com]

[Megamind blinks in horror at the realization that something from the Bible was brought into a physical form.]

You mean the Seven Deadly Sins. Yes, I've heard of them.

[He grips Roxanne's hand a little tighter. It was a frightening concept even for him and he's thought of some pretty strange things before but never quite that extreme.]

Do they personify what they represent?
