Who: Phantom, Wild Child
When: Tonight
Where: Outside a fast food joint
What: Accidental friendship?
Simon had been looking forward to his purportedly very casual date this evening. However, his date had taken the very casual theme a little too far. He had driven Simon to a fast food joint. Simon was not amused. He was not big on fast food to begin with but, a date? Was this guy kidding?
Looking around did not make him feel any better, neither did the noisy clatter of trays or the alarms that persistently told the employees that whatever was in the fryer was ready. There were children running around too. This was beginning to look nightmarish, and Simon was just upset enough that he decided to leave without even saying a word.
"I'm going to have a smoke. Pick any table," he muttered disinterestedly. Simon's voice was deeper than one would imagine looking at him. He looked like he would have a really high voice, but he didn't. He had a pleasant soft purr of baritone in his voice. Simon hurried out of the establishment, reaching for his pack of cigarettes. He gritted his teeth, and made the mistake of throwing a long, dirty glance back over his shoulder at his date, who was stupidly standing in line waiting to order.
While he wasn't looking, someone on a skateboard was hurtling towards him at top speed. Simon could have easily phased and let the skater pass through him unharmed... had he seen him.
