There's something very inviting about a pizza parlor. The combination of spices never fails to set a man's stomach to grumbling, and Captain Hammer is no exception. He's arrived twenty minutes early to put down an order for three extra large pies, figuring that would probably be enough to feed the ones who responded to his proposition. And if more arrive, they'll just order a few more pizzas.

He figured this was a good way for the people stuck in this weird little dump to know who they could befriend (each other) and who they could rely on to punch villains in the face (and that would be him).

The pizzas were set out on a long, high table ringed by barstools. There were plates, napkins, forks for the weak, a basket of breadsticks, a pitcher of root beer on one end, and a pitcher of real beer on the other. Hammer himself was perched on one of the barstools, enjoying a slice of pizza heaped with pepperoni and olives. One boot rested on the floor, the other was hooked on the lowermost rung of his barstool.

"Man you can eat fast," Captain Hammer pointed out. He wasn't about to neglect his new fan. Some of the people in this place were oddly prickly, so he preferred to spend his time on those who actually appreciated his company. "You must have a killer metabolism. Like myself!"

He could eat nothing but Twinkies and still look as good as he did.

Hey, he was buying them pizza. That was enough for her to be a fan. She quickly finished the slice she was working on then looked to him with a smile.

"Oh yeah! Plus I get tons of exercise. So I'll be good!" She can't let herself get rusty with Crescent Rose after all.

[yesterdays_hero]

"Glad to hear it! Here, allow me." He filled her glass with beer...ROOT beer! Ah ha ha!

"Now, if I'm not mistaken, you're a superhero in training. Is that right?" he asked, before enjoying another bite of pizza. The elaborate get-up suggested that was the case, whether or not she'd brought her weapon along with her.

[onecream_fivesugar]

"Ooooh thanks." And she'll quickly take a drink of that root beer once it's poured.

"Superhero? Not quite." But honestly being a superhero sounds pretty awesome. It's like super and a hero all in one. That's cool.

"Back where I'm from I am training to be a huntress though, which kind of sounds like the same thing. They fight monsters and keep the people safe."

[yesterdays_hero]

"I think we'll get along just fine, then," Captain Hammer reflected. "My job is to protect people too. But the only monsters we have, are the monsters who prey on innocent, weak civilians just trying to earn an honest day's pay. ...Or picking on bums too, I guess."

The first part still sounded cool in his mind, though.

"Either way, we may end up working together fighting the rising tide of evil in this city. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do."

[onecream_fivesugar]

Ruby's not quite sure how to take the bums remark. I mean regardless of a persons financial situation they need to be protected too, right?

"Is there a rising tide of evil here? Oh man! I'll totally help you fend it off!" Luckily she's easily distracted thanks to her do gooder nature.

"Trust me when I say what I do is pretty awesome."

[yesterdays_hero]

Hammer didn't pick on bums. The "monsters" did. But he felt he had to clarify that it wasn't only the hard-working citizens who needed to be saved. Even worthless people need never be victimized so long as Captain Hammer was cleaning up the streets!

"That has yet to be seen," Captain Hammer chuckled good-naturedly. "But if a hero like me has been summoned here, then there is most certainly evil afoot. I'm here to fight it." He supposed he could consider a spunky wide-eyed sidekick to follow him around. He'd always fought alone, because he was the only one with real super powers. If this girl had some unique ability as well, then why not?

[onecream_fivesugar]

"Well if there is a rising tide of evil, you can count on me to help take it down."

Ruby as Captain Hammers sidekick? I can't anything bad coming out of that at all.

[yesterdays_hero]

Sure!

[Why not? As long as she's not a burden, he doesn't mind having a tagalong.]

This is a big place, after all, and I can't be everywhere at once. Always good to have another pair of eyes watching out for villainy.

[onecream_fivesugar]

"Great! Well I'll keep my eyes peeled and kick any evil butt that decides to 'cause trouble." She could get used to this superhero thing.
