- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
It's a 'calm' day in Chicago, as far as calm days go. Mostly because the city just got a late snowfall and now there's slush and crap outside. And delivered food and or beverages sounded like a good idea to Harry. Also, he's more than slightly intrigued by 'delivery from anywhere to anywhere.'
So, now we've got an order for tea, chinese takeout from some place in Nebraska, and pizza from some spot on the North Side of Chicago. Harry's grinning over at Inga. Okay, so he's a jerk.
"There. We'll get you your tea and we'll see who this girl who's faster than light is."
- Inga has posed:
Inga had thought he'd just call for coffee from a nearby cafe. She doesn't know precisely where Nebraska is, but by his grin she gathers that it is rather far away. She shakes her head at him as she gets dressed, unbraiding her hair to comb it and prepare to re-braid it neatly once more.
After all, she's got time. Certainly the woman will not arrive in less than an hour! Inga then descends on Harry with a comb, trying to fix the extreme case of bedhead he is currently sporting. "I take it Nebraska is very far from here?" she asks.
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
Harry... does not mind the grooming. He's not awake enough to protest. Bluh. "It's... well. Depending on how fast you drive, it's at least.... 8 hours by car? It'd take me a while even cause I don't have a proper Way anywhere close to that so I'd be winging it."
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo wasn't kidding when she claimed to be the fastest thing alive. In her time in this new 'Unity' multiverse, she's done her homework and research. The warpgates are just new shortcuts for her to rock through, and despite relying on technology rather than magic, she's been learning every trick she can to shave time off of her best runs.
First the order for the Chinese take-out. Nebraska? How about SLOW-braska. She's there before she can even blink, skating through a number of warp-gates, popping out next to the place. The food is picked up, slung across her back, and she's off like a shot, shattering a window in her wake as the mach-cone forms around her.
As she zooms along the Great Wall, she looks down at the slowpokes, frozen in time next to her. She's been going faster than ever lately... The tea she gets from her great grand-uncle, grown in his back yard high in the mountains. Luckily? At the speed she's travelling, not a DROP gets spilled, though she does gag a bit as the twine cuts into her throat. She pushes herself harder than ever, the world turning to streaks around her.
The pizza place is last of all, and she zooms through it without stopping, grabbing two boxes of the ordered pizza and slipping out the door around one of the customers. A second later, a windstorm rips through the establishment, leaving on customer with egg on her face! And sauce everywhere else.
*DING-DONG* comes the doorbell as a deafening boom rips through the area as GoGo stops, spinning in place so that she can wind down her momentum.
- Inga has posed:
Inga's eyes widen a little. "I assume you mean 8 hours by car, which I gather is a long way. 8 hours seems quite reasonable by horse," she observes casually, grooming Harry like a monkey, picking through the snarls in his hair.
The doorbell rings and Inga freezes, blinking in disbelief. "That cannot be her," she comments, even as she hears a BOOM over the radio that makes her wince. She puts the comb aside and starts quickly braiding her hair, nudging Harry with her hip to go get the door.
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
OH GOOD. EXPLOSIONS AT HARRY'S HOUSE. THIS IS A NEW CONCEPT.
Car alarms, windows rattling, police calls, and all of that incoming. Harry's whole body jumps and he nearly tears his hair at the comb, as he starts, reaching for a pistol in a coat he's not wearing. "HELLS BELLS."
He manages to disengage himself, and stumbles over to the door, looking a little haggard as he opens it up. "Zuh?"
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
There's a short, pretty Korean girl standing there. A pot of scalding hot tea hangs around her neck, and in one hand is a bag of Take-Out. In the other, a nice double-decker pizza. "GoGo Tomago Delivery. Done your way, your when." she says, panting like a racehorse. "I'm GoGo, from San Fransokyo Institute of Technology."
She's dressed in a skin-tight body-suit, her head covered by a hard-line helment. At her feet and hands are a pair of discs that appear to not actually be attached to her hands or feet at the moment.
- Inga has posed:
Inga follows Harry to the door, standing behind him, quickly (well, relatively quickly considering present company) braiding and tying off her long white hair. She looks quite impressed at the speed with which Gogo arrived. It's mind-blowing! "By the gods! That's remarkable!" she says, pushes past Harry to motion GoGo inside. Inga's eyes bug out slightly at the outfit she is wearing. Goodness, how does she even get into that thing? Is it painted on!?
Inga herself quickly throw on a sweater and a long skirt. "How do you move so quickly without...falling apart?" she asks, attempting to relieve her of the burden of tea and food, placing things out on the kitchen table.
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
Harry's eyes blink a bit at the light but he definately gets out of the way for Inga sto start bustling around a bit to get food moved. There's a bit of a grin though. "Hhahaha. You didn't say you were going to be cute and fast."
A cough. "Not as lovely as my partner, but still. Howdy, Harry Dresden, wizard detective." He notably does not get any closer than say... two feet from GoGo.
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
"GoGo Tomago. I'm a student." she says, taking off her helmet and shaking out her hair. "It's a technological thing. My friends and I build all of our own equipment. You should see Fred. His suit can launch him two stories into the air, and he's never once broken his legs on the way down. Not for lack of trying though."
- Inga has posed:
Inga gives Harry a bit of a look, then rolls her eyes in his general direction as she gets some nice tea cup down, kept tucked away in a cabinet where a clumbsy wizard cannot acdidentally smash them up. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Gogo Tomago," she comments. What a strange name! Though she might likely think the same of her. "Inga Freyjasdottir," she says to Gogo, bowing in an incredibly old fashioned way. "Please, have a seat. Would you like a cup of the tea you've brought us? A trip like that, you must need a drink," she comments.
Inga looks to Harry then. Tehcnology. Her lips purse thoughtfully, noting how he stays at least two feet away. "Mphm, don't get too close to Harry, he'll break your...technology...things," she says.
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
The Wizard snorts and again, still stays a short distance away from GoGo. "So what, like a bunch of techies? That's okay. I've got a bunch of kids i know who all turn into werewolves sooooo maybe the same thing?" You're getting old, Harry.
He sniff snffs out the pizza though, shufffling over towards the table to get out a slaice and chew on the cheesy goodness.
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago chuckles... "I uh... Think so. All of us but Fred are science majors. Also, keep the werewolves away from..." she pauses, thinking. "You know... Yeah, I'd love some tea, thanks Miss... Igna?" she asks, holding out her hand.
- Inga has posed:
Oh, right, hand shaking. Inga extends her hand, giving Gogo's a shake. "Science...majors?" Inga asks, her expression one of obvious confusion. Might now be worth explaining.
Inga pours a cup of tea though, for herself and Gogo before looking inquiringly to Harry, asking without words if he'll have some as well.
An eyebrow raise to the wizard. "Hardly the same thing. Shapeshifting I can understand. Technology? Tch.." she shakes her head.
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
"Well, it's... she's a student, Inga, an advanced student. Like Billy and Georgia." Actually, almost exactly like Billy and Georgia. "You'll have to excuse us, GoGo. We're a pair of magi and are Set in Our Ways." Also partners, it would seem, as Harry rubs at Inga's shoulder in passing.
"So what brings you to the Union? I know Gofast is appreciated but anything more than that?"
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago nods and chuckles. "Magic... You know, a month ago magic to me was a stage magician." she says, sipping her tea. "The closest anyone came to real magic was Hiro creating the microbots. As for what brings me to the union? Well, they're the good guys, right? What more reason do I need?
- Inga has posed:
Inga laughs lightly, nodding. "Mm, stuck in our ways. He'll at least know what you are talking about...I am...ah...from the past," she explains. The far, far past.
Inga takes a sip of her tea, face lighting up with pleasure. "This is wonderful!" she exclaims.
A warm smile is given to Harry when he rubs her shoulder. He is apparently forgiven for his cute girl remarks.
"The Union is very nice. People really support each other, even with the myriad of worlds in trouble."
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago chuckles a bit, and takes out her gum, sticking it to her helmet. "Well I got it from China. My great granduncle grows it himself." she says, cocking her hips to one side. "Mind if I grab a slice of pizza? Going through warpgates always makes me hungry."
- Harry Dresden (206) has posed:
'Good Guys'. Harrys face twitches a bit at that. "Ehhh, call it more 'decent people' and I'll agree with you on the Union. Most everyone is good, yes. Sorta like most other places." He sits on his kitchen counter and smiles. "San Fransokyo tells me there's a bit of a grographical difference between your world and ours though."
Let's change that subject!
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago nods. "Oh you better believe it. We're a High-Tech city. EVERYTHING is tech... Our world doesn't have any magic that I know of."
- Inga has posed:
Inga gives Harry a curious look. Does he have some doubts about the goodness of some one his allies?
Inga shrugs this off for now, watching Gogo. "Of course, help yourself. We won't eat all of it--well, we might but it's quite alright as Harry seems to have ordered more food..." which Inga begins to poke at. She's not in the mood for pizza, oddly enough. "No magic? Hmm. Where I am from, it is...more subtle than the magic I have gained since I came here. Very loud and flashy sometimes," she comments with a shrug. "I certainly never thought I would be able to shoot fire and lightning around."
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago shakes her head. "Yeah... Where I come from, my friend Honey Lemon is the closest we come to a wizard. MAN, you should see some of the things she can do. She's got this purse with all kinds of things in it. She just hits a few buttons, and she's got a chem-bomb all ready to go."
- Inga has posed:
Inga looks interested. "Oh? What is a chem-bomb, exactly?" she asks, once again sipping the delightful tea.
"I would purchase this tea in quantity. How fortunate you have a family connection!" she remarks.
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago smiles. "Chemical bomb. She'll mix different chemicals and it will create a little explosive package to deliver them in. And uh... I guess I could. He doesn't grow bulk normally, but I can get you a bit more sometime."
- Inga has posed:
Inga smiles brightly. "Ah, that would be excellent. I don't need too much, just enough for me for a while. I could hardly expect you to deliver me tea whenever I want it," she laughs. "Indeed, what do I owe you for the service?" she asks.
"Ah, chemicals. Alchemy, then. Very interesting! I know another who works with such things, a woman named Kyra. She is also a student at a university."
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
"She'd be furious if she heard you call it alchemy. She's serious about her science sometimes. But yeah... I could get you enough or a month or two at a time. He grows enough for that at least."
- Inga has posed:
Inga gets up to get Harry's wallet, finds it mostly filled with receipts for pizza and beer, then gets her own pouch. "I'm...not good with money, but what do I owe you for the deliveries? I shall also give you an advance for the tea," she explains.
A small frown. "I do not know what is wrong with alchemy...though I do not know the difference I suppose."
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago shakes her head and gets out a calculator. "It's a pretty hefty sum. He wanted some fairly exotic stuff." she says. Then she quotes a rather stiff bill to pay.
- Inga has posed:
Inga blinks. That seems a pretty large figure! Though, what does she know?
Inga pulls out a few coins. Gold coins. Pure gold coins. "Will this suffice?" she asks.
- GoGo Tomago (736) has posed:
GoGo Tomago stares at the coins... "Maybe I should hold a crash course in modern economics and the monetary system." she says as the curtain goes down.
