Characters: Charlie, Grant/Red X (Shadow), Open(?) Setting: Burger By Carmen, around 8:00 PM, mid-December Previous Threads: Plot Summary: There's a new player in town and she's hungry for... food of course! Will she get her burgers in time or will she end up eating the table? Other people show too but the burgers are key!
Food, she really needed food. Didn’t this stupid city have a decent place to eat?
Well, Charlie did just get to Jump this afternoon so she really hadn’t had a chance to look until now. It was smaller than New York, warmer too but that was one of the upsides of this new place. Reminded her of L.A. and all the fond memories, then the not so fond. But she had other things on her mind, like the gnawing feeling in her stomach or the fact she might collapse if she didn’t sate it. The blonde was even feeling a little cranky from her low blood sugar, she’d already snapped at the poor doorman at her building. It wasn’t Sean’s fault, the old guy had been nice when she moved in. She’d have to bring him back something sweet, maybe a cupcake or a donut. Sean looked like a donut man, maybe a cruller or something. Ooooh, a fritter sounds nice…
Now she wanted a donut… or a dozen.
Charlie combed her fingers through her short hair with a frustrated sigh. She looked at her smartphone, her Melp app showing her all the best places to eat nearby. It was currently more important than watching where she was going, funny enough when a collision with a person seemed imminent she shifted enough to just slip by them with a sort of airy grace. She was used to navigating through big crowds, even bigger than these ones. Usually, she’d be picking things off them but tonight was focused on one thing. Well, two things now that she narrowed down her food search to a burger joint just up ahead. She really hoped they cooked fast.
When she entered to the place her eyes scanned the menu above the counter before approaching the teen with the burger hat, “Listen close cause I’m gonna talk fast and I’m only gonna say it once. I need three number two meals with everything on them and two number four’s sandwiches with extra ketchup, don’t skimp out on the fries and for a drink, I want the biggest cup with every soda in that machine of yours. Stirred not shaken. You got all that, sweetheart?”
The cashier nodded slowly, “Was that… for here or to go?” She looked a little stunned by the sudden onslaught of orders by the thin girl. Of course Amy, her name tag said, assumed it was for more than one person.
“For here please,” Charlie smile and held out a shiny black card without even waiting to hear the bill. “I’ll be sitting over there and don’t wait for it to all be done, bring whatever whenever or else I’ll start eating the table,” she half-joked and carried her huge cup of soda to the empty spot. The sugar would hold her over for a little while but the longer she waited for food the more appetizing the table looked. Eyeing it, she wondered if maple wood tasted anything like maple syrup.
Food sounded like a good idea. Especially after a job well done and cops busy frantically looking for a skull masked thief. A smirk played on the blond's lips as he walked down the sidewalk, sirens blaring as the cop cars whizzed by him. Though the job wasn't big enough to attract the attention of the Titans, there was still a ton of satisfaction in successfully stealing from a lawyer. Not just any lawyer mind you, a lawyer who tended to prosecute villains once they were caught. He didn't exactly steal per se. He just made a copy on a flash drive of a few files.
Still wearing down from the adrenaline, Grant nearly passed a burger joint he hadn't been to in ages. And right now, the smell of burgers and fries filling the air was enough to draw him in. As he set foot into the burger place, his crystal blue gaze swept over the people inside before settling on the girl behind the counter. With every step he took towards the counter, he could almost feel the eyes of some of the customers on him. It was fun being good looking and knowing how to use it. He stopped at the counter and did a once over of the menu before flashing the order taker a breathtaking smile.
"Well hello beautiful, just staring in your eyes almost made me forget what I was doing here." His tone was calm and sounded honest, his eyes flickering to the order taker's nametag for a split second. "So, your name's Amy. Pretty name for a pretty lady." The more he spoke to her, the more poor Amy looked like she was about to have a heart attack. In a way, it was funny but what made it priceless was when the girl couldn't respond because she was stunned. Grant partially thought it was because she was so naive, but then again too many people were nowadays. When Amy fled without taking his order, another cashier took her place and smirked.
"At it again, huh? Will this be your usual?" Bridget, the nametag said, spoke almost trying not to laugh at her coworker's reaction. Clearly Bridget remembered him from the last couple times he had been here but he couldn't quite remember her. "Always and give the girl over there who looks like she's about to eat your table a double chocolate milkshake...on me" As he replied, a faint memory of his last time here echoed in his mind, reminding him that Bridget was one of the few people his charms didn't work on so he didn't bother trying. He pulled his wallet out and pulled out a few bills, enough to pay for what was coming and then some, and handed it to Bridget before putting the wallet away. "Keep the change, I'll be over at my usual spot." Walking away from the counter and sitting at a booth across the room from Charlie, he flashed her that little smile of his as one of the cashier's brought her the milkshake he'd ordered. It would be enough to stop her from eating furniture for now, after all they did have the best milkshakes.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
