Toxxic 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 The Scene: The Electric Ballroom, Camden, London The Time: Friday 29th July, 11.45pm “Jesus, he sure can go, can’t he!” Chris Card says with feeling as he and Jet watch Toxxic whirling, spinning and windmilling like crazy to the punk music currently pumping out of the Electric Ballroom’s speakers. “I’d fall over if I tried that,” Jet admits, then peruses her glass. “Then again, that might be because I’m getting drunk…” The Philly Madgirl sweeps her black-and-red dreads back out of her face, then squints over at the dancefloor before laughing to herself. “What?” Card asks, trying to see what has amused her. “The guy Toxx likes is over there,” Jet giggles, taking another sip of her vodka and Coke. “No wonder he’s dancing so hard.” “What? Where?” Card asks, then cuts himself off. “Wait a minute - the guy Toxxic likes?” “Yeah,” Jet says, turning to look inquisitively at Technical Perfection. “Whoah, OK, back up a minute here,” Card protests, mind racing, but all he can do is repeat himself. “The guy…” “Chris, Toxx is gay,” Jet says, giggling again at the expression that crosses Card’s face. “Well… mostly, anyway. Didn’tcha know?” “Uhhh… NO.” Card says, with considerably feeling. “What… when did that happen? I mean,” he continues, “I thought you and he were-” “Oh, we were,” Jet admits, “but we sort of broke it off around February-ish. He’d been thinking about things for a while and decided it wasn’t for him… and to be fair, it means I don’t have to try and stay sober anymore,” she continues, suiting action to words and knocking back the rest of her drink. Then something seems to strike her and she fixes Card with a gaze that’s only slightly unsteady. “So you know when I was training with you, and me and Tasha would go out in the evenings, and all those stories she told you about the guys and girls I ended up with… and you never worked out I wasn’t with Toxx anymore?” “I, er… well, I guess I thought you guys had some kind of arrangement,” Card admits. Jet snorts with laughter. “Yeah, we had an arrangement alright,” she agrees, still laughing, “we’d arranged that we weren’t together!” She controls herself and leans closer to be heard over the music. “Chris, Toxx and me are still good friends, and we’re still gonna spend a lot of time together. But we are not dating!” “Right…” Card says, digesting this before looking up with a glint in his eye. “So, I don’t suppose-” “No way,” Jet cuts him off, levelly. Card shrugs. “Well, you can’t blame me for trying…” “I can, but I won’t,” Jet tells him. “Now move outta the way, cos me and Tasha want a go in the cages!” With that the dreadlocked beauty barges past Card, grabs the sultry figure of Natasha and heads off for the dancing cages where a bevy of gothic sluts have already been bumping and grinding this evening. As Card watches with a considerable amount of interest he is suddenly aware of a presence at his left elbow. “Yo,” Toxxic gasps, picking up his glass of Coke from where he left it and -having sniffed it suspiciously to make sure no-one’s pulled a Spike Jenkins on him- downing the remaining vegetable-based carbonated beverage. When Card doesn’t respond immediately Toxxic looks up at his training partner, then narrows his eyes at Technical Perfection’s apparent uneasiness. “What…?” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 Well… mostly, anyway. Ahahah. This is a twist to the character I didn't expect. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure where one can go with this, but it's cool to see regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 *shrug* If it was part of the character all along, it seems kinda odd to introduce it after this long without provocation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 Psychological element. Now he can say that all these guys he beat got beaten by a gay guy. It wouldn't bother me, but it might dig at some people. EDIT: The Pretzler character seems like one who would be bothered by that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
