Characters: A.J. (Shadow ), Speedy (Kenni ), Open to All heroes or villains Setting: Around lunchtime near of downtown's most popular restaurants. Previous Threads: None; it's A.J.'s intro thread to her timeline. Speedy's settled into Jump and the core team as a more familiar face by now, so it's 'after' his most recent thread with Raven in Too Close For Comfort. Plot Summary: Ace student reporter Alexandra Johnson meets any-and-all Titans or Villains that cross her path for inside scoops and fangirling, from the mask-marked to the nefarious ne'erdowells!
Sometimes, you had an autograph-asking audience to talk to during the lunch-breaks. 'Talk' being subjective.
Being a relatively new face in town, the easygoing East Titan didn't think there'd be this much of a response to him grabbing a Subway sub. Before he knew it, he was signing napkins, necklines and cookies (waste of a good baker's dozen of white-chocolate chip macadamia, in his horrified opinion) bitten to shape of his face.
Needless to say, he was touched. In. Several ways.
Moving on.
He managed to get 80% of the lipstick off his neck and cheeks--results of his 'conversations' in the sandwich establishment--with a slice of lettuce. Just in case some villain showed up, he wanted to be taken seriously!
Soon, it was back to the streets, away from the bussed-in group of zany fangirls from some part of Cali where the only Titans they ever saw next to them in a food line was on TV.
And being the new kid sucked even more. She'd only transferred into Kingston because her dad had made her and she had only been a student there about a week. Even worse, the stupid teachers already assigned a project in history class. She hated history with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. Give her a good story though and history is her best friend.
The thoughts were soon drowned out as she pulled her headphones out and put them on. It was a little distraction but since her dad wasn't around, no one could really yell at her for walking down the street while listening to music. Around her neck hung a camera, bouncing slightly with each step she took. Her gaze scanning the area ahead as she tread onward so that she didn't end up walking into someone...again. As the brunette walked along the sidewalk, a part of her thanked that higher power that invented the weekend but there seemed to be something more interesting going on a few stores away. Pulling one of her earbuds out and sticking her hands in her jacket pockets, she approached the redhead wiping his face with...wait was that lettuce?
"Isn't it a bit early for Halloween?"
Asking people questions while giving them a suspicious look was NOT a good way to start off a conversation. But then again the only people who seemed to be masked were either these so called 'heroes' or the random villain that lurked in the shadows. AJ had yet to actually see any of these but she'd been nosy enough to read a couple of her dad's case files if and when he brought them home. "You almost look like a wannabe Robin but something about you just screams that you're not Robin enough." Call it whatever you like, she wasn't being rude per se, simply curious and observant. Usually those tended to be a bad combination in this city.
There was something familiar about this Ginger. Not familiar as in that she'd met him before but familiar as in she could have sworn that she'd read something that described this guy pretty well. As she racked her brain trying to find the answer, said answer almost hit her in the face when she saw the girls in the sandwich shop. This was Speedy. He was an ACTUAL Titan. Was she dreaming? No it couldn't be, or she'd have already found some silly way to embarrass herself permanently and scar her for life. She had to get a picture of him. Just one to add to her list of things for the story she was working on.
"YOUR FUNERAL! They test that junk on animals, y'know~." He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at a quick-billed pigeon, the fat menace somehow having the wherewithall to not only zip through the air over his fingers, but also commandeer the lipsticked lettuce-leaf from them. He continued work on the Subway Melt, and his way down the sidewalk, until yet another female voice gave him pause.
Firstly because it was so much calmer than the riffraff in that sandwich shop.
Secondly, it was..early February, so the only people who'd be dressed anything like what the girl was describing were, well, his fellow Titans and he, and villains. A quick eye-dart about the premises and Speedy was the only one who fit the bill. "Can never test-run your costume too early in a city like this!"
Thirdly, because she didn't know who he was..! Even after all that ruckus? The brunette must not have been near the Subway a few moments prior.
This was promising.
However, at the 'not Robin enough' mistaken nature of her assumation of his identity, well, it was all the guy could do to keep from crying laughing or growling.
"Y'rright, y'know. Mm'mmshing 3 more traffic light colours," he said through his teeth, formed into a grin that only eased up after the inital stilted nature of its appearance. Well, at first he said it through a bite of sub, muffling the words. Then through his teeth.
"Sort'van amateur mistake ta make, that. Doesn't look like I 'wannabe' that guy at all~." He'd fallen into step with her more or less, the ambling archer's stride longer than his conversant's, and was having a hard time paying attention to his patrol route now.
"Who were you planning on dressing up as, ages from now?" He was a sucker for the eyes, after all, and hers were this lovely shade of ocean, shifting in the light. ... ..Speedy jotted that one down on a napkin and stuffed it into his utility belt for his poetry scraps.

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.
