A Warm Evening Breeze. (Open up to two other players)

[Deleted]

Venus's Stomach started to growl, despite the fact that she was a metal Golem, she was very much human and functioned just like any human female would. Part of this also meant she suffered from hunger. Today had been the first time ever that Her father had allowed to explore Gotham by herself and even then it took quite a bit of convincing.

"No no no I will not allow you to go out in the street by yourself,"

"Daddy please. I'm 5 years old, and I only get out like once a year, I know I WAS a statue, but I'm still just as much a human as you are."

Pygmalion held his breath, he hate to admit it, but despite the fact that she was indeed every bit alive, he tended to treat her as more of one of his precious sculptures than a young woman, being locked in house was no way for Venus to live her life.

'You're right. I'll admit it, I'm just worried about you."

"Father when have I ever disobeyed your wishes, or Betrayed your trust? I have protected your treasures, and I have helped matained your household. Father Just let me go and explore Gotham one time on my own. That is all I wish."

Pygmalion couldn't help but smile. In many ways, Venus reminded him of Galatea in many ways, very submissive, yer at the same time having a burning desire to know the rest of the world around her. IF this was Athens, he honestly wouldn't have minded as much, she'd get to see the Gardens and the magnificent temples, but this wasn't Athens, it was Gotham, and it's inhabits were the truest of Barbarians. But Bella had reminded him of the fact that her kind was made specifically to protect others. While She didn't have a violent bone in her body, she was more than capable of defending herself.
   
"alright go, but here take these"

Pygmalion gave her a stack of $5's

"you may be of bronze, but you still need nourishment."

and her father was right. in this case, her father was right, as she walked down the Saunders District, she began to look for  proper place to eat, all of the sudden, a man who looked as if he were homeless, came up to her and started flipping a coin.

"Hey lady. you want to see a magic coin?

While aware that these types "Magic tricks" were not truly magic, she still had a sort of childlike glee toward these type of illusionist tricks
 
"I'd love to see a trick."

"First I make this coin disappear, and then...what's that behind your ear?"

Venus clapped in glee, the man tossed the coin to her and walked away.

walking down the street, Venus came across a grill, and as she went inside, the place was less than settling. there was a bar in the back of the grill where the drinkers were a bit rowdy. Venus walked to one of the guys at the counter she leaned forward. Uncomfortably leaning her breast and abdomen against the table.

"Uh hey! what will it be."

 "uh I'll take a burger and a large fry.'

"That'll be a $8.95

Venus reached into her pocket, but her money was gone,

"Wha...that guy must have pickpocketed me."

All of the sudden there was  loud...

"UNACCEPTABLE!!!"

A woman in a colorful costume stormed out

"I WILL NOT SING FOR THESE THESE...BABOONS!!!"

A guy in a leather Jacket and a fedora followed after her.

"Babe wait. Great Now I'm without a singer."

Venus stood up.

"Um I could sing?"

The strange man just stood in awe as he looked up at the ginormous woman

"Wow...what are you some kind of sumo wrestler? Uh sure ok sing a scale."


" Doh Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Doh!"

the man couldn't help but kind of smile. Who ever this woman was, her voice was as big as the rest of her body.

"You're hired kid. get up on stage."

Venus got up on stage. the stage actually shook a bit as she got up on it. She tapped on the mic a bit

"Testing testing one to three testing."

the audience seemed silent causing her to get a little nervous. She took a deep breath and started to sing.

Note:the song she sings is titanic's "My heart will go on."

The owner started to grin form ear to ear seeing dollar signs in his eyes as she started o sing in a rich Opera like fullness

"I just met the new Renée Fleming" he thought to himself. 


 

[Kory Anders - Starfire]

With a warm evening breeze, the tamaranean princess deemed it a good time for a little down time. After an adventurous day with titans somewhere across the country and which at one point led to a deep dive in a ocean. Kory was never one to complain about a dip in the sea, nor chasing a monster or two. It did however leave a whole lot of sea weed to wash and untangle from her hair, but unpleasantries as such were worth it. After decent amount of time in shower upon her return to Bludhaven. The golden beauty, did a little extra house chores, because the laundry wasn’t going to do itself or really even Dick at times. Not that she’d call him unreliable. Just busy and besides she quite enjoyed cleaning around her place. Then taking a little time to lay out on her balcony and soak in a little sunlight. To unwind and to help plump up her skin, whilst revitalising her energy. To help her be as strong as she could be. Shutting her eyes, when she opened them again, the sun was near dusk… Checking her communications. It seemed Roy was potentially researching something down in the Bunker and as she texted Dick to see where he was at, it appeared he had a late shift at work. So it was unlikely she’d be able to see him before any night shifts came about, but she did send a message to call her, if he did find himself free. Though Dick free, wasn’t often and Kory was fine with it. It just meant she was riding a little solo for the time being and she had nagging feeling to go out somewhere. Just out, with her schedule, it didn’t happen very often. So it was best to take the times when you were provided with it. Her life would probably be in sane if all she did was fight doom and gloom…

So it was decided, well she decided to go somewhere in Gotham. She hadn’t decided where as such, she’d figure it out once she was in the air or walked around a bit. All she did decide it be something casual, so it be easy to just throw on something casual… Whilst it wasn’t summer any more and fall was pretty much on the door step. The weather was still very much in transition, whilst it wasn’t blistering hot, particularly at this time of the evening. It was still warm, mostly from a somewhat high humidity. Not that it effected Kory much, she was practically solar powered, so she was generally always warm, but she did still dress somewhat for the seasons… Kory opted for a dress as she casually pulled one free from her closet and slipped it on. It was blue in colour, came just above her knee, with a sort lace material with a lining save for the sleeves and hugged in a little with a brown belt. Keeping it casual with simple footwear and no jewellery. Leaving her red hair out and free of sea weed. It sort of natural fell in a light wavy, tousled kind if way. Kory didn’t often need to do a lot of styling to it, which was good as she wasn’t an overly fussy kind of being. Sensually joyful. Upon her way out of her balcony door, Kory did swung a small bag over her shoulder, possibly obtaining her phone, some cash and her Starfire suit. Lastly, Kory put on sunglasses, perhaps to help shield her path as the sun was setting.

Then Kory flew into the evening breeze, otherwise it was seemingly going to be a calm and steady night. Apart from a bird or two, Kory was the only one in the air, well apart from a blimp, but surely they didn’t take to much heed of a flying fire ball coming through Gotham… Now as Kory pondered where, she decided on central. It was generally a good option… Hmmm, perhaps she could check out a museum or an art gallery, although those maybe closed… Maybe something entertaining, like a play or a band? Yes, entertainment seemed like a good idea, so Kory made a slight motion in her flight path, to head towards the Saunders District. That was known for being a very good spot. Though as she approached her landing spot, she felt a slight rumbling in her stomach. Perhaps she could find some earthly good whilst she was here. So somewhat out of sight, Kory landed, though identity wasn’t really a well kept secret anymore so it didn’t matter greatly, but it was always nice to not to give someone a heart attack when they’re least expecting it… With a little check nothing had blown greatly out of place, Kory took to one of the side walks. Already starting to pass a few decent options and some, well questionable options.

Then as she walked past a door to a bar and grill joint, it practically chose her. Well, she liked to think it did. As an incredibly warm sound came from it, that was almost like an overlapping hug and companied with rather delicious smelling food. Yep, this would do. As Kory softly expressed her joy with a smile from ear to ear. Sure fancy things could be joyful, but often it was in the smallest places where one could find joy. Then of course there was just Kory, with whom joy naturally followed, besides when she’s mad of course, but thats usually with a reason… Her golden legs stepped through the door and into the quaint, not lacking of rowdy people, as she could peak at the bar and perhaps even a little rusty in places. If any eyes or heads turned her way, Kory paid little attention to it. Kory was certainly most taken by the sound coming from a stage on the other end and a little further into the place, as she halted momentarily. Kory’s big eyes behind her glasses were mesmerised as looked upon the young woman at the end of such a beautiful sound. It only caused her smile to grow, as she continued towards where she could order some food. There was already one or two people before her in line. So Kory took a little time to look at any menus, but it wasn’t long before she knew what she wanted or more what her stomach wanted. Her eyes moved back towards the stage a little, almost forgetting about food until a deep voice reminded her behind the bar…

”Ah, yes… I would like a cheesesteak, some fries and… A ginger beer, please!”

With just a little pausing as to what drink, spotting the ginger beer tap made up her mind as she politely gave her order. Not the healthiest of options, which even though she was gifted genetically she still watched what she ate, but she indulged sometimes. Well, maybe a little more at times, but doing what she did as Starfire alone sure helped burn the calories. There were other activities of course. Which could also make one quite hungry… With a little wait, the kind man gave Kory her ginger beer and someone would bring her food out to her when it was ready. She was just to be getting to sit down and to fully engage in the performance. As with her drink in hand, Kory motioned through the couple tables and pondered what would be a good place. Spotting the booths set a little along the side. Kory opted for the second one close to the stage. Placed her drink upon her table and slid into the comfy quite worn in cheats. It even creaked a little as she sat down. Picked up her ginger beer and took a nice good sip. Feeling extra refreshed. Relaxed. As Kory’s attention focused on the stage and the woman singing a very heart felt song. It was somewhat of a saddening song, but in the moving kind of way. Who ever this woman was, she was very gifted. Kory offered happy whistling sound as she’d often seen humans do when they liked a performance, though this caused a few eyes on her. Perhaps whistling wasn’t expected for a opera kind of performance? Kory may have flushed a little extra golden, but she was happy to show her enthusiasm. She’d maybe restrain from whistling and just wait for the time to applaud, but she’d almost not want it to stop. Briefly Kory got her phone and quickly texted friends, who might be free to join her, life was always best shared than alone… Quickly, so she could get back to watching.

After the performance, the crowd started to cheer causing Venus to take a bow. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a certain redhead with hair that looked like it was of flame
 However she got distracted by the manager.

"Yo kid that was wonderful your going to be the one next big thing."


"Thanks." Venus said with a bow. "Um who is that woman over there


The man turned around and let out a whistle.


"Wowzers. That's Kory Anders. Some of the boys back in the big Apple have been talken about her...and she looks hot."


Venus giggled she'd always wanted to make a new friend.


"I think I'll say hello."


"What are you nuts? She's a part time celebrity. You don't just go up and say hello."


Too late the large woman was already at Kory's table though in order not to be rude, she tried leaning back to keep her large breasts from invading the woman's personnel space.


"Excuse me, but have we met before?"

[Kory Anders - Starfire]

The tamaranean princess was quite fixated on the very talented performer on stage. For all Kory knew, the woman was a professional… If not she certainly should be. Kory even tapped her foot a little, though it was a rather slow beat kinda song so it didn’t exactly allow one to really get into it, but it was still greatly enjoyable nonetheless. Particularly even with Kory riding solo in the booth she sat at. Naturally she sat back in the comfy seat and relaxed her back even more. Relaxing in general. Unwinding after the adventurous day. Mostly with a joyful smile on her face, though as the lady hit even higher keys. Saddening words or at least heartfelt words. It sure leant a tear, maybe even two to trickle down the tamaranean’s golden cheek. A little in sad from the tone of the song, but also in a little joy of the moving performance. Kory swept her tears a side as the lady sang through the finale and Kory was certainly one of, if not thee first to applaud. Enthusiastically, no less… Then as if after such a beautiful and sensational musical ride… It was over… Leaving the tamaranean a little disappointed she’d hoped for more, but suppose it was as Roy said you wanna leave your audience wanting more. As Kory half placed a hand over her thudding heart as if it was swirling to come back down from the emotional ride. Whilst she did somewhat watch the lovely performer a little even after the performance was over, she really wasn’t paying much attention to notice the lady had seen Kory in return and Kory’s attention back towards her drink. Taking a lengthy good sip. Checked her phone, perhaps this was very human for her to do, but she did this more when she didn’t have company… She wasn’t aware of anyone talking about her or even really watching her. Least nothing until she heard a whistle. It certainly made the red head to look up and turn around. A natural reaction for anyone to do, right? She couldn’t really know it was for her. Though she may have briefly caught her name, but she was recognised often enough. She was used to attention and she was used to not really paying much attention to it. Particularly when it wasn’t always positive. So Kory naturally brushed it off and sip her drink again. Though she did let her covered eyes look around the room. Kory always did prefer a more direct approach… So whilst she wasn’t expecting the lovely young lady from the stage, she certainly was delighted nonetheless as she approached where Kory was sitting.

”Greetings… Doubtful, I’m pretty good with remembering people I meet and with a gifted voice like you have, I don’t think I’ll be quick to forget… Would you like to join me? Many call me Starfire, but feel free to call me Kory… What is your name? ”

With a genuine warm and friendly complimentary tone, Kory did pause briefly, but no she was confident that she hadn’t met this woman before. Still, she was delighted to meet her, offering to take a seat with her at her table and also offering her names. It was more common for her to be known as Starfire than Kory, but generally her closest friends called her Kory. Kory was confident there was a chance of a new friend, thus Kory was most interested in knowing her name, if she’d be kind enough to offer it. Kory had straightened a little in her seating as she was most welcoming to the chance of new company. Perhaps even get a little insight as to where this young lady came from and her talents… Kory wasn’t never often judgemental, if anything she could be guilty of being too open. Too accepting of what humans deemed strangers… Though there was something with this woman’s eyes. Demeanour that just seemed a little different than most humans. There was a very innocent look about her, but Kory couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Whatever it was, it hardly would effect Kory liking the woman. She’d just been around so many different races and species to perhaps pick up differences that others may not… Then not long after the greeting of the lovely lady, did Kory’s food arrived. Reminding her stomach it was hungry. She smiled with glee and her senses. Least her nose and mouth slightly took in the delight of the aroma. Pulling off her shades, placing them in her bag. Her green eyes lit up a little as the plate was placed before her. Wasting little time before picking up a simple fry. Popping it in her mouth and thoroughly enjoyed it. Clear with the look of joy on her face and extra bubbly smile.

”Gratitudes… Would you care for any food, drink? My shout, after that most heartfelt performance. Its honestly no trouble at all, if you would like!”

Kindly the tamaranean thanked the waiter who had delivered her delicious looking food. Kindly giving the woman a chance to order anything, she may like before the waiter left. She didn’t want to be rude and not offer with her plate before her. Even so far as to offer to shout for the woman’s food, though she needn’t take it if she didn’t want to. It wasn’t any attempt to flash her she had cash, but because Kory sincerely wanted to offer it. It just so happened that she had more than enough cash to do it. Being a model secured that, before Earth she never had to deal with cash, but to live on this planet money certainly helped to get by. Not that it was easy for Kory to understand how a bank and everything worked at first, but that was why it was good to have great friends that did. Money sure helped to experience certain joys in the world, but Kory could always find joys with spending a penny. With a delightful smile, Kory picked a couple for fries and eating more. Even picking a little from her cheesesteak that had fallen from the bun. Sure at times she missed certain tamaranean foods, but Earth sure knew how to take her tastebuds elsewhere… Plus, fancy things called sodas. Or was it a beer? As Kory pondered slightly as she sipped at her ginger beer. It at least was delicious and fresh. Humans sure had creative minds

[Deleted]

Venus was happy to see the woman be so up and friendly and gave her a gracious smile after the woman asked her name

" My name is Venus...  Venus de Milo."

Venus's smile turned into a look of embarrassment and awkwardness as the young red head offered a chair. there was no way a seat made of such flimsy materials such as wood would support her half ton body.

"Oh um...this is embarrassing."


Venus began putting her body into a cross sitting or Indian style position. getting her thick blubbery body in that position wasn't the bad part. When she placed her large butt on the floor, the impact caused a sound that sounded like a large boom it also caused a tremor that lasted a good 5-8 seconds. the room immediately fell silent and all eyes fell on the large woman. Venus tried holding back the tears, but a small one escaped the corner of her eye.   she wiped it off hoping that this Starfire would not notice. She then tried to continue the conversation as if nothing ever happened though her voice was still on the verge of breaking


"um I appercate your offer, but the reason why I even sang tonight was because I got pickpocketed so I hopped I could sing in exchange for some food.


it was then that the manger came in and interrupted.

"kid you were magnificent. I can see the headlines now. Gotham Has a New Prodigy. It Ain't Over Till the Fat Lady Sings"   

Venus her face away trying to keep herself from snarling at the man. After that minor earthquake she caused, the last thing she wanted to be called was the Fat Lady. The Manager however didin't pay much attention as he set his gaze on Starfire

"And miss Anders I must say it is an honor to have you here. My name is  Harvey and if there is anything I can do to make your stay comfortable let me know. In fact I tell you what. the both of yas  take my whole inventory. it's on the house.


Harvey then signaled the bartender


"Yo Benny get every one out of here will ya we got a private party going on here."



the man nodded


"you heard the man, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here."


Everyone left in a single fashion. Leaving only Venus and Starfire in the restaurant.


Waiters brought plate after plate. all of which had a little bit of everything. when Harvey said take the whole inventory, he meant it literally. There was so much food even Venus with her large appetite couldn't eat it all and she didn't plan on trying.  

"I'll let you to Superstars get to talking."

While Venus started to chow down on a plate of pasta, she still tried hard to figure out where she had seen Starfire from. She knew she saw her from somewhere she just couldn't figure out where. Then it hit her.

"I know where I know you from. My Father used some of your pictures as templates for his sculptors"

[Kory Anders - Starfire]

The tamaranean princess was always happy to meet new people, never the less new friends and well she was generally happy. Perhaps wouldn’t really wanna see her mad or let alone pissed off, but certainly she had no reason right now. Kory was in a positive happy mood and curious to learnt his lovely woman’s name… Venus? Oddly the first thing to pop in Kory’s mind was a Worm, but it was hardly likely this woman was from Venus… She just shared the name. Kory lightly pulled some hair behind her ear. Venus then more or less told Kory where she was from, yes the tamaranean knew french. Kory had also visited France on a few occasion, being able to fly sure had perks.

”It is a wonderful pleasure to meet you Venus… Venus of Milo? You are from Greece? Like the statue? Well, not currently as I’m sure its still housed in the Louvre…”

Naturally a red brow raised as it appeared this woman shared one of the titles to the famous statue, though perhaps the comparisons ended there? As clearly this woman wasn’t missing any arms or limbs. Nor was she chalk white or marble. Though she was still a beauty all her own. This was just slightly confusing, although having lived her life, Kory had experienced far stranger things… A slight frown came to her brows as Venus seemed reluctant to join her or more reluctant to take a seat with her… Suppose Kory hadn’t taken into account the woman’s size or more weight. As Venus spoke and Kory did feel tad bit bad, as the embarrassment was clear on the woman’s face. As well as Venus tried to maintain it or hide that fact. Kory was someone that was very much in tune with her own emotions and thus she was often very in tune in reading others emotions. In this instance it wasn’t all that hard to see. Kory had found herself in very similar, if not in even same circumstances. Kory was just in a position to embrace who she was and what she was. As Venus took to a seating somewhere on the ground by the table, Kory offered a gentle hand to help as Venus sat and unavoidably shook the ground. Kory expressed an understanding expression as she caught sight of the tear upon Venus’ cheek and the notable eyes upon her was only adding to Venus’ insecurities.

”There is no need to feel embarrassed, Venus. You’re not the only one to make the ground shake. Believe me, I’ve broken my fair share of walls; among many other things I have broken. We are who we are. If we want people to accept that, we first have to accept ourselves… Chin up, you are beautiful!”

Kindly and most importantly strongly Kory spoke to Venus. Even quite personally as she was quite familiar to this instance, given her powers. Which apart from her star bolts. Her strength and her flight was very much always a part of her. So landing whilst making the ground shake or breaking through a wall. Sure sometimes it was purpose to get to the other side, but she had also frequently done it by accident. Not to mentioning just breaking random objects. As Kory sculled her ginger beer and then purposefully shattered the glass in her right hand. As if it been nothing and hardly even a scratch on her hand, but it was notable enough to draw some attention by eyes Venus had caught attention from. More or less proving Venus wasn’t alone in what she experienced or felt. That it was possible she could embrace who she was. Of course it may not be all in a day thing, but Kory offered her support. Her advice nonetheless, as she placed a couple golden fingers beneath Venus’ chin. Complimenting who the woman was. In and out. Kory smiled from ear to ear. It didn’t waver much when Venus then kindly declined Kory’s offer and explained why. It seemed fair enough. Even if Kory was going to respond. They were then interrupted by the manager? Kory assumed or owner. She couldn’t be too sure. Kory smiled a little again as he seemed to compliment Venus, though she frowned as it sort of turned into a not so nice compliment at all. One snap to the jaw and he’d never say it again, but perhaps that be crude. Sometimes it was best to ignore it, it wasn’t like Kory could really go a day without someone comparing her to a carrot. Not really preferred, but carrots weren’t so bad so she just ignored it. Usually… Even more so popularity or fame. As the man, named Harvey. Knew Kory, quit well. Sure she was completely unknown, but she wasn’t that famous. Movie stars and Music stars were generally more sort after than a model. Even Superman or Wonder woman were more popular than Starfire… Suppose she could fit in there somewhere, thankfully not this often. As Harvey sure went far beyond trying to please Kory and give her comfort. When she was perfectly comfortable already and in turn this was actually making her less comfortable. Food she didn’t need nor order. Even as Kory shook her head, Harvey was insisting. Even so far as to throw out the rest of his customers. Really?

”This is really unnecessary, you don’t need to kick anyone out… ”

Even as Kory insisted, Harvey had already signalled to the bartender, whom then signalled to everyone else and before Kory could even stop this. They were already leaving and out the door. Leaving Kory feeling she might as well follow them, but suppose she could use this to get to know Venus a little better… Plus all this free food, fit for over 50 people was giving her an idea. Assuming neither Venus nor Kory could eat this all. Kory knew of people who could very much do with with more food or even just food in general. So the tamaranean was content for now, to finish what she had ordered and chat with Venus. Then Kory be up to fulfilling her idea. Perhaps Venus could even help her. They just might need something to cart all the food in, whilst Kory was strong enough, it might be somewhat difficult to balance all these plates for even her. Perhaps boxes or something would do. Either way Kory figured she could decide better once they had eaten and could see what they hadn’t eaten… Oh, Kory did signal for another drink, given she had finished hers following the destroying of the glass. Which she would definitely pay for, though before she could even signal. She was brought another ginger beer and it was just as delightful. As Kory took a sip and she picked at some of the fries on her plate. Before attempting to wrap her hands around half of her cheesesteak. Taking a nice chunk out of it. Juices half ran down her chin, to which she stopped with her finger and bringing to her mouth. Yum, yum. Kory smiled at the beginning of Venus’ next words. As if she was almost about to guess, but then as Venus mentioned about her father… Well, that was certainly not what Kory had in mind. Kory motioned her mouth to speak, but stopped momentarily. She was pretty sure she hadn’t modelled for a sculptor, well perhaps that one time in Italy, but somehow she doubted this had any connection.

”I’m sorry? Your father makes sculptures?”

Looking down to where the woman sat. Kory then found her voice enough to clearly not understand what Venus had meant that her father had used her pictures. Hopefully in a good way, as Kory wasn’t really interested that much into how other men or even women at time did whatever they did with her pictures. She’d really rather not think about it. She smiled softy, though suppose from the sounds her father was an artist? A Sculptor? That sounded quite complex and exciting… Oddly it sort of looped back to this woman’s named. Venus de Milo. Suppose she was just named after the famous statue! This would explain why, if she had been. To that Kory took another bite from her cheesesteak and another sip at her drink followed. She half wondered if Venus’ father took orders, as Kory smiled at the thought, but somehow she couldn’t be so sure Dick would give the ok on it.

[Deleted]

Venus couldn't help but kind of giggle when Starfire asked her if she was from Greece.

"My thick accent didn't give it away? Well technically I'm not from Greece but I have strong Greek roots."

Venus actually gave a bit of an awkward pause. She didn't quite figure out how she'd explain her origin/ would this woman even believe the truth? then again this woman claimed she could smash through walls. the shock of what of her embarrassment still weighed heavy (no pun intended) on her. the words helped a little, but she still felt embarrassed.


"I appreciate your complement, but the thing is your slender and beautiful and I'm a big hulking blubber woman that makes sumo wrestlers look like Kate Moss. And you can actually do something with your figure. mine just gets in the way.

Kory seemed interested in the fact that her father made sculptors. she decided to tell the truth, considering what this woman seemed capable of she just might believe her.

"My father is Pygmalion. the sculptor you reference in what you call Greek mythology. See he created me out of bronze and somehow I just came to life. I can't explain how. You see, I was not born I was made.  technically I am no more than 5 years old as you can see my design was actually more based on The Venus of Willendorf minus the hair of course. Oh I probably seem crazy right now.

Venus started to smile a bit as Kory seemed to perk in interest.

"Don't worry my father doesn't have any nude pictures of you."

Benny decided to serve Kory an extra glass just in case.

"I hope you don't mind you ladies interrupting I figured I'd give miss Anders here an extra drink to go. Oh and hey don't worry abut Harvey throwing a private party here. He does that anytime some minor celebrity comes here. you ought to have seen him when the Nostalgia Critic came here about a month or so back. Don't worry about that glass ethier. trust me it happens all the time."  

He then looked at Venus

"Hey V you said you wanted to put that bulk of your's to good use? Tell me just how strong are ya?"

"I can lift a car fairly easily why?"

"Well you see one of my old buddies. He used to be a part of the Family (Mafia) before he went straight and he decided to open a sumo wrestling club. Vegas style. glits glammer  almost like a carnival attraction. There are a bunch of big girls  like you out there and you may feel right at home. of course you don't have to."

 he gave her a flier and said goodbye.

Venus looked at the flier and then at Kory

I'd think I'd feel better if someone went with me. Would you be willing to come I think my Father would love to meet you.   

[Kory Anders - Starfire]

There was a slight shift between Kory’s brows as Venus giggled. It was a very nice giggle, but suppose she was giggling at her. Kory’s cheeks shaded a little extra golden as it seemed she should have picked up the greek accent.. Hmmm, perhaps it was the little time Kory had spent with Venus, that hadn’t allowed it to register or simply Kory hadn’t been around very many with that accent. Some accents could potentially sound very similar and Kory couldn’t exactly say she was as in the known, but perhaps that was just down to not being human. Nonetheless, Kory was certainly delighted to hear. As Kory’s brows relaxed and her lips turned into a soft smile. Between snagging a few fries. Yeah, she was rather still hungry after her quite adventurous day, even the night before. What was it the humans called it. Ah yes, the burning calories. Kory wasn’t much one to count calories, but she could swear she felt she had burn thousands. Hmmm, that was perhaps overstating it.

”Oh… Well, it is a beautiful accent… Have you visited Greece?”

Delightfully Kory responded in her natural positive beam. Although hearing greek roots, still made her think of a tree, but suppose it was a suppose to… Curious if Venus was not born in Greece, if she had visited. Kory could imagine it be on her do list, who wouldn’t want to visit where their roots originated from? Kory took a sip from her newly filled ginger beer, it was certainly a nice taste and refreshing in between her food. To which she did pick at her cheesesteak again, her eyes certainly bounced around the varies other plates before them… It was almost as much as the pie feast Kory had once, ah yes. The pies. Which had naturally caused Kory to dream of pies from weeks. She almost day dreamed, but upon Venus next words. It easy retract her back on track… Why is it often that people speak about Kory’s appearance as if she isn’t aware of how she herself looks and thats it is something rare? From where Kory was from she was one of millions with very similar appearance. Beauty was more often from the inside, because there are quite attractive people with less attractive inner qualities. Although Kory would have to put doubt of the word ‘slender’, given most particularly in the modelling word did ‘not’ consider Kory slender. She was certainly far more curvy than the much skinnier models, but she was certainly more slender than Venus. Which hadn’t even remotely bothered Kory and she’d seen far bigger, even stranger shapes.

”If you looked like me, then you wouldn’t really be you! It doesn’t mean, I don’t understand attracting negativity. You really think I appreciate being compared to a carrot, called a freak because I’m not human or being told I have floatation devices on my chest? I don’t, but I’m also not about to apologise or cut off my boobs… It seems most humans have some insecurity and its very easy for some to focus on others, rather than focus on themselves. It is your life and you only have one body, well particularly on this planet. Appreciate it and in one form or another, we all have one.”

Kory responded generally positive and kindness. She wasn’t trying to be overly insightful, but she was never one to live in negativity. It was a tamaranean way of living, so it was very natural for her, but as she noted it mean she wasn’t aware of any negativity that she sometimes. Even often attracts. General was usually surrounding the fact she was an alien and things that she couldn’t change, not that she wanted to. Because whilst it may bother others, she was very much comfortable in being her. Living her life. Not just because she was a tamaranean, but also her time as a slave. She had seen so much suffering and so many lives cut short. She had almost given up on her own at a time, but there came a time. Even now free that she vowed to live her life and she would allow anyone again to stop her. To control her or trap her. Though, hopefully Kory hoped it may have at least comforted Venus. As she looked very beautiful in Kory’s humble opinion. Even through her bright emerald eyes…

”Pygmalion, that is a wonderful name. He must be a wonderful man… X’hal, you come from bronze… A statue… It kinda makes me think of, A mom for christmas! X’hal, I love that movie. I should watch it again, its been so long… Crazy? Hardly, I’ve heard of and seen even crazier things. Although many things on this planet is still very weird to me!”

Kory had listened intently and responded in a similar manor. Not much remarking how Venus was made because it sounded crazy, more Kory remarked in quite an excitable manor. She could actually understand her father wishing, doing this because he potentially lonely. It did just kinda made her think of the sweet christmas movie, but it was hardly crazy. As Kory confidently disputed. Whilst it wasn’t common at all on her planet, it was safe to say she had seen many other crazier things. Though oddly as even as her eyes looked around, this planet could still be quite strange to her, but delightfully generally. As Kory happily smiled. Though she then blushed as Venus spoke again. Kory simply smiled and nodded. She couldn’t imagine there were really any to find, she didn’t really do nudes. So if he had, she may have to consider he had been actually stalking her and Dick hadn’t been so careful to hide his… Oooh, wasn’t that so kind of… Benny? Was it? Kory was sure that had been his name. Either way, she kindly thanked him. Kory listened as the man spoke, she didn’t share the same opinion as far as celebrity. Famous to an extent, but mostly because Kory aka Starfire was considered a super hero not because she was a super model. Kindly Kory smiled and sipped again at her new drink. She would have considered responding, but his attention then went to Venus… Kory just sort of half listened, not to be rude. Eating a couple more fries… Hearing, sumo wrestling club. How had Kory not heard of this? In Gotham? Kory paused on ‘vegas style’, made her think of a casino. Then paused on ’carnival attraction’, that made her think of rides or a circus. This was certainly a human thing, putting several things together. Sipping her drink again, as Benny left and Kory waved slightly. Before Venus brought her attention back…

”Sure, I love carnivals, the rides, the candy… My boyfriend used to be in Haly’s circus… When were you thinking of going? If its tonight, I am on call, so I may need to disappear at some point! I would be an honour to meet your father!”

happily Kory responded, certainly at the idea of a carnival. Its probably wasn’t exactly how she was picturing it, but even if it wasn’t she was always up for something new. It sounded excited nonetheless. She noted Dick a little, given it was sounding also similar, she had wonder if he knew about this sumo wrestling club? He would know Gotham more than she did. Hmmm, would Bruce know? He knows everything, he had to know… Picking up her cheesesteak again, she was curious as to when Venus was wanting to go… Tonight? Hopefully Kory would have time to finish some of her food…. Hmmm, perhaps another night, although even as Kory could even fathom, it was safe to say she was on call every night. Crime and evil never waits for a hero, but Kory would certainly allow any time she had…. Hmmm, she’d need to let Dick know though. To that note as she balanced her cheesesteak in one hand, she texted him on her phone in her other hand, but chances are he’d be busy.
