[i]JT had dealt with her type in the past - Diana and Jess gave him pointers on what kinds of things to pick up on. A woman like this in a VR for combat was suspicious enough, though the irresistibility of her voice? JT's mind immediately shifted off the soothing words that she spoke, and pheromones became his best guess. JT played ball and kept a relaxed, unwary composure, but he knew this game all too well. After all, he had written a book on Dojo History, and the tale of Bellicose was enough to tip him off.
"Right, ain't much t'explore in Belltown. Aside from a couple o' hotels down by the tavern," JT said, hinting at a potential room. He had no intents to sleep with her, namely because he already had a few FWB's and wasn't in the market for another, though he did know it would be the best place for him to at least talk to her. [/i]

-
“Would you like to show me around?” [i]She asked, approaching and brushing up against him. There was a bit of a playful nature to her, though too there was an air of danger.[/i]
-
[i]Thankfully JT had taken a certain liking to danger - Not in the sense that he enjoyed having his life threatened at every step or anything, but more or less in one of him bring familiar with it. He grinned slightly and shook his head slightly, then looked to the storm behind him. The sandstorm wasn't letting up just yet, but it was starting. "Alright. Did y'wanna see the hotels, my particular one, or th' rest of Belltown first?" [/i]
-
“Lead the way.” [i]She said, mock bowing to him.[/i]
-
[i]JT didn't waste time by hitting the points in Belltown that a normal person wouldn't go to (namely the side streets), so he stuck to the main road with her. He walked down it and pointed out some of the more important locations, eventually entering the hotel he was staying at, where he led her upstairs to his room. In true gentlemanly fashion - which, let's face it, JT rarely shows - he held the door for her to enter. [/i]
-
[i]She smiled and entered as he held the door for her. During the tour of the VR town, she’d been quite impressed, and been making mental note of everything he’d told her. Force of habit. Upon entering, she seated herself in one of the chairs in the room, waiting for whatever came next.[/i]
-
[i]JT closed and locked the door, though rather than heading to a bedroom, he sat down across from the unnamed woman. He didn't let it be known, although he was mentally compiling a document with information on the woman - appearance, personality, all the important bits that he wanted to keep track of. "So, 'fore we do anything else, mind if I get yer name?" [/i]
-
“Anna.” [i]She replied with a cute smile.[/i] “Do you do this to every girl you meet? Show her around and then start your questioning?” [i]She couldn’t help but giggle. As far as he knew, she was naive and very sociable. Other than that, he didn’t have a whole lot to go on. She was a newbie.[/i]
-
[i]"Depends on th' girl. Only the interesting ones come into 'ere." She was a flirt, he would play ball. Perhaps she wasn't an immediate danger to JT, perhaps she was, he wouldn't find out anything about her if he didn't play her game. [/i]
-
“Should I be flattered or upset about that?” [i]She asked with a smirk.[/i]
-
[i]"Trust me, pretty girl like yerself? I'd aim ta flatter." [/i]
-
[i]She gave a confident smile.[/i] “Why thank you.” [i]She said.[/i] “Do you spend a lot of time in here, you know, as opposed to the real world? Do you like it better here? Do you feel things here?” [i]She asked like a child, quickly, interestedly, and expectant of answers.[/i]
-
[i]"It's quieter. World outside's hectic, the sim 'ere is basically a place for me to relax when I ain't keeping the world from blowing up." JT gave the answer to the question perhaps a little too easily. His guard could have been higher and he admitted to acting as a sort of glue for the world, though he did exaggerate enough to hope she hadn't taken him seriously with that last bit. "What brings you 'round Belltown? Ain't everyday we get visitors in th' discount Dodge City." [/i]
-
“I’m new here. I went out to do a little exploring, found a sim room, figured I’d check it out.” [i]She said cooly.[/i] “Gotta say, you must have your work cut out for you with all the crazies around here.” [i]Anna said, cracking a grin.[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah, there's too much bullshit on this planet." JT spoke with truth then, not even attempting to hide anything. It was a fact, especially since the world gets attacked regularly, there's no police force in the biggest city globally, and there's occupations by several military forces every year. It was chaos, though JT stayed for some reason. "Let me give you some advice; Head offworld, go to Earth or Amoridia, some place that ain't complete hell." [/i]

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 11/26/2017 1:39:28 AM“Offworld’s kinda boring though, don’t ya think? I like a little adventure.” [i]There was a twinkle in her eyes. He didn’t need to know where she’d come from.[/i]
-
[i]"There's adventure, then there's Tatakai - A place with a war every few weeks, and that ain't an exaggeration." [/i]
-
“Keeps you busy at least. Gotta think about the positives in everything.” [i]She remarked with a shrug.[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah, guess so. That, and th' pretty lass sitting next to me." [/i]
-
“Well if I’m keeping you too busy, I can let myself out.” [i]She said, standing up. Time to see how this would pan out.[/i]
-
[i]"Who's to say you're a bad kind of busy? There's definitely a good kind." [/i]
-
“I’m listening...” [i]She said, her forming smirk hidden as she faced the door[/i]
-
[i]"Well, we have a bed and some time - How 'bout we make use of 'em?" [/i] [spoiler]For the record if this goes anywhere, we TimeSkip. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]That was implied. Did you really think I was gonna bother with PMs lmfao?[/spoiler] “You aren’t good on pick-up lines, are you? Guess you make up for that with your whole saving the world thing?” [i]She said with a chuckle. If he wanted it, he had to at least work a little bit for it.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Nah though I just wanted to make that extra clear. [/spoiler] [i]"You could say that. Though hey, it kept ya from leavin', that's a good start." [/i]
-
“Maybe I didn’t leave because maybe I’m interested.” [i]She remarked, walking back over to the chair.[/i] “Maybe I just like to listen.” [i]She flashed a mock-innocent smile[/i]
