38-He never tires of this curse

[amansgottadowhat]

Well hello, visitors. To those who remember visiting this place before, welcome back, so lovely to see you again. To those who are new, greetings and welcome. Allow me to help you with anything that you might need or any problems that you run into.

I am Captain Hammer and I am more than happy to be of assistance.

[OoC: You know what? Go for it; anything. I can always erase whatever I don't want him to know from his mind. And for the link! Because Hammer's stupid.]

Comments

YES.

Captain of classic songs? I think I'm alright with that.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That so? Good for you, Captain Hammer.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And you are?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Oh, pretty much just a girl next door. In the figurative sense, because I don't literally live next door. And it does kind of depend on the neighbourhood we'd be talking about. But essentially, yes, girl next door. That's me.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

And does the figurative girl next door have a name she'd like to be addressed by/

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I s'ppose you can call me Ann.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Ann. It's lovely to meet you.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Is it?

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

But of course.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

How do you know? I could be a complete and utter bitch and that wouldn't be very lovely, would it?

Speaking of being a bitch, I'm turning in. Night! To be continued tomorrow!

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Ah, but you've been perfectly pleasant to me so far, now haven't you? So I can say that it is, indeed, lovely to meet you.

Haha, I only just got up 20 minutes ago. Oh time zones, gotta love 'em

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've made fun of your name, but you haven't quite noticed my intention, or you're just immune to sarcasm.

omg wow, that's awesome. What country are you in?

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

What some people count as teasing, others may count as a compliment. And besides, you only know my name, and not me as a person.

currently the Netherlands, though originally from Germany :)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That's something I can't argue with.

Oooh, awesome! Where in the netherlands?

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Would you like to attempt to get to know me a little more? Perhaps we can get a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Studying in Maastricht :D Where are you from then?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Oh, why not. Hot chocolate sounds nice enough.

I- only know countries. And I'm from Long Island, off of New York.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Do you have a preference for location?

Heh, well, the Netherlands aren't even a particularly big country~

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Me? I barely even know this place. You pick, but nothing sleazy.

Haha yeah, but I thought I might know. Buuuut apparently not. Also, you wanna log or assume?

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Cafe Juliet is always a nice little shop.

If it's any consolation, I'm terribly at geography :D Either is fine with me, whichever you prefer!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

You're paying.

Haha, as long as I'm not the only one! And I'm intrigued now. Logging it is!

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

But of course, I couldn't imagine not paying.

[and with that, he shuts off the device, heading to wait at the Cafe]

Many people have said that he was a terrible flirt. He disagreed with that, though. He was fantastic at flirting. Admittedly, he did charm people quite a lot, but why wouldn't he? It was a great natural gift, like his incredible strength, to be used.

That's not to say that he was intending on getting into Ann's pants, then again not to say that he wasn't, but this meet-up was about proving himself to someone who didn't quite believe. And if Captain Hammer likes one thing, it's good public relations.

Well, and beating up villains. And showing off. And sex. And himself. And-

At any rate, good PR probably made it to the top ten list of 'things that Captain Hammer likes'. So, due to that, here he is, outside of Cafe Juliet, waiting.

Definitely not. And oh, he so cracks me up, seriously :D

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Ann arrives a little later, stopping and mustering Captain Hammer with raised eyebrows. She doesn't know him, so she doesn't dislike him, but he does seem kind of full of himself and oh, she likes poking fun at people who're full of themselves.

Plus, hot chocolate. That alone is reason enough to be here, especially if he's paying. Ann isn't gorgeous by any standard, but she's reasonably cute and not above using that to score some free hot chocolate, ever.

"Hi."

I'm glad to hear it! I'm always worried about the balance I strike with him.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

"Hello, you must be Ann." He extends his hand. None of that fancy, kissing her hand business. She didn't seem the type.

"I must say, you look quite-" you can barely notice the hesitation where he realizes that he's used the word 'lovely' far too much in this conversation, "pretty," he finishes. "Especially since you've only just arrived! Then again, I suppose it doesn't come as a surprise that someone as generous as yourself would be so composed and enchanting."

I don't know his canon, but I am sure amused :D

[chatona.livejournal.com]

"I must be, yes." She grins at first, but then her eyebrows rise higher and higher at his next words. Generous? Composed? Enchanting? Right. She tries to contain her laughter. Her lips might be twitching a bit, though.

"You said something about hot chocolate. So lead the way, Captain Hammer." Nope, she's never going to stop being amused by his name.

What! You must watch it, it is fantastic and only 42 minutes and Neil Patrick Harris~~~~

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you were to ask him, he would have completely logical reasons for describing her as such. That is, in Hammer!logic. So, fairly passable logic in normal terms.

He opens the door, gesturing with his hand. "Ladies first," after all, it didn't hurt to have some traditional charming techniques, "pick whichever table you would like."
