[6collegecredits]

Characters: Darcy and You!
Date: Throughout January
Location: Here, There and Everywhere
Situation: Various, Scenario Suggestions and Specific Starters below.
Warnings/Rating: Some drinking and fun having but nothing explicit.



a. Darcy has discovered the existence of the Brazen Turtle and as such was taking full advantage of its presence. She strolled into the establishment with ease and slid up to the bar. She ordered a serving of whatever was on tap, nothing fancy of fruity for her tonight. She had a smile for most everyone around and would gladly strike up conversation with anyone interested.

b. She'd been working for Stark Industries for several weeks and as such had collected a few paychecks. That could only mean one thing; shopping. She happily fluttered from shop to shop in the various markets, and after not too long had several bags full of purchases. But, due to the winter weather things were a bit icy. With all of her purchases Darcy missed a particularly icy patch and slipped. Her bags went flying to the ground, as does she. "Oh, damn it!" She seethed and quickly went after the fallen purchases.

"Whoa, hold up, doll." He raises up a hand, glass in grip, in a gesture to get her to back that hokey train up and let him off. Jax has taken this adventure to be like one long, bad acid trip and a good reason to stay off the hard drugs. "You buy this whole trans-dimensional shit?"

Darcy laughed, more than a little amused by his reaction. She didn't really go around telling people about her work with Jane back home, just because of how crazy it sounded, but here on a giant turtle, well, she didn't feel the need to hold back.

"I'm afraid so. This isn't exactly my first tango with the concept."

[sonofsamcro]

"Bullshit." Jax's trying to call her on what he hope's a bluff, but the way the first bit is sliding off her shoulders, he's got cause for concern that either she's legit familiar with this. Or that she's just crazy and he ain't seen it yet. "You look normal, y'know? Beautiful and all, just not like you're the weird, flying psycho types I've seen here."

Her laugh skipped into a snort for a moment before she could manage to speak up again.

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment, then. Beautiful and not crazy-looking."

She paused to drink, if only to stifle any further laughter. "But I'm serious. I worked with an astrophysicist back home and other dimensions is kind of her thing. We've had more than our fair share of aliens from other worlds where I came from."

[sonofsamcro]

"Aliens." Give him a second to process that in amidst the rest, because beautiful and normal ain't supposed to shrug off transdimensional and alien bullshit like it's the same ol' deal on the same ol' day. Jax shakes his head and takes a long drink from his beer before he's set to say anything else.

"So, this is all real," isn't so much directed at her as it is his starting to come to terms with it. "It ain't hokey, but a real deal. Different worlds and flying superfreaks."

"I'm afraid so," Darcy said with a solemn nod, though she was still smiling.

"If you want I could introduce you to someone who knows a lot more about the specifics than I do. But I should warn you, she uses big words and talks really fast when she gets excited about this topic. Which...happens almost always."

[sonofsamcro]

The idea of someone talking faster that this's a good scare for him, since he's having trouble keeping up with what she's saying at a sedate, friendly pace. He lets out a breath, short and sweet, and shakes his head.

"Cliffnotes'd do me, doll," is his admission. "Lay it out the way you know it and I'll figure it out from there." After drinking a lot to come to terms with the superfreaks bit.

[6collegecredits]

"Cliffnotes, hm?"

She was familiar with the idea, of course. There had been plenty of Lit courses that she'd trudged through thanks to dear old Cliffnotes. But summing up Jane's work, especially when Darcy didn't understand half of the technical bits, was a challenge.

"Okay. So there's Earth, right? And we've got all these myths about gods, specifically the Norse gods in this case. Well, it turns out that they're not actually gods, but super powerful aliens from another world. They have this magic/science-y bridge that can send them to other worlds and that shows up as these weird anomalies throughout space, which is what my boss back home studies and tracks."

She pauses and takes a breath. "But there's more than just the Asgardians, er, the Norse-god aliens. Turns out there are all these other realms, or worlds out there that we can't see, and there's life in all of them and some of them have figured out that Earth is here and have started poking around...or outright invading."

She winces, not really sure if that could be considered the easy version of things, but it was the best she could manage.
