Who: Cindy and Kurt.
When: Monday evening.
Where: P. J. Clarke's.
What: Drinks, maybe dinner, followed by battle. Typical Monday fare.
Rating/status: R for language later.

The plus side of being back in the 60s was the fact that, while many things about this New york were different, most of the old hangouts were still there and were just as fun as she remembered them. PJ Clarke's was one of such places. The food was good, the drinks were better and a smile and and few well chosen words got Cindy a table ahead of time.

As she took a seat, she glanced around, keeping an eye for her young date. As much as she longed to go back to her own time and her life of undercover action, it was nice to just relax and get to know other people. And Kurt seemed nice and normal, maybe a little too nice and normal...

Oh well, she could use this evening to see what made this lovely boy tick.

Kurt was in fact nice and normal. Except for having to worry about blue fur, a tail, yellow eyes, and fanged teeth when he went out in public - yes, he was actually the epitome of a pleasant young man! He was also nervous. And shy. And somewhat awkward around women, especially one who looked like Cindy and who apparently could make weapons out of rubber bands like Cindy. He was constantly afraid he was doing something wrong, and perhaps that's why his luck with the opposite sex had been...bad. But it wasn't as if he was faking his inexperience. Being a circus freak for twenty-one years wasn't exactly the biggest draw for women, or so he assumed.

Now here he was, dressed nicely in a pair of jeans, a crisp shirt, and a blazer he probably looked like a hipster tool but this type of clothing never went out of style, right? He also was glad to have met up with ~~1960s~~ Charles Xavier, in order to be honing his abilities, earning his keep, and actually having a roof over his head. He had been waiting to call his friend Alison until he actually had the money to pay her back, and now that he did, he felt so much better.

Image inducer on! Now just not to stutter. "Guten Abend, Cindy," Kurt smiled, sliding into the seat across from her. "I'm so sorry, I hope you weren't waiting long."

	"Hello, Kurt," Cindy said after he greeted her. "I got her a few minutes ago. Fantastic place isn't it? One can't deny the charms of the 60s." A waiter approached, ready to take their drink orders. Cindy didn't have to think it too much. "I'll have a Martini," she said before turning to Kurt. "What's your poison?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is definitely charming," Kurt agreed, chucking a bit. He supposed that was one way to put it, anyway. "And here I thought I'd only get to read about the 60s, without actually living in them."

Drink orders, right! Now, what the heck did he want? Having just turned twenty-one, Kurt hadn't really dipped his toe into the lake of alcoholism yet. But of course, Cindy already knew that and didn't seem to think he was a complete dork - she was here, right? "Just a Manhattan, please," he said to the waiter, and that was probably a good choice. The name of the drink matched the locale!

"How is the job hunt going?" he asked Cindy, once the waiter left. "Have you found anyone to hire you to jump from a great height yet?"

	"I don't know if the trouble is worth it," Cindy mussed as their waiter approached. She decided to leave the ribs for some other time. "I will have the tomato soup, the Cobb salad and a side of grilled asparagus." The waiter nodded and turned towards her partner. "Save room for dessert," Cindy said. "I want to split a cobbler."

	"Issues?" With apple cobbler, really? That was new. Kurt had heard of being afraid of...spiders or snakes or enclosed spaces. But applecobblerphobia was one the medical books probably hadn't diagnosed yet. "Is it just apple or is it peach too...and where are you from?" he asked, curly head tilting slightly, curious.

	With a sight, Cindy moved her arm around Kurt's and led him outside. So much for a nice normal guy and their nice dinner. "They are soldiers," she explained as she led the way. "Nearly indestructible wooden soldiers that usually wander around in groups of threes." She looked at him. "Can you throw a good punch, Kurt?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll be healed in an hour tops," Cindy said with a shrug. It would have healed faster if Cindy hadn't spent the last few days overworking. She arched an eyebrow as Kurt went back to looking human. "That's a trick you don't see everyday at the circus." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
