RP POST: The Perils of Personal Ads

[wright_idea]

He doesn't want to take the responses, but he knows they're coming.

Well, he thinks he knows. Maybe he'll get lucky and nobody will respond at all. But Phoenix somehow doubts he's that lucky, to be honest. With his luck it's going to be some crazy person with a gun, or who is an assassin in their home dimension, or thinks the color green is really funny. Or who jumps straight to sex. That seems to be common in the Nexus.

He sits in his office, tapping his fingers nervously. Phew. He wishes he could find whoever posted that thing.

((Feel free to post responses to the personal ad here! Poor Phoenix.))

Oh, look. A young lady with short, curly red hair has just entered Phoenix's office. She looks nothing like Li, nor does she look like any forms he's previously taken. That London accent of hers might be vaguely familiar, but London is a big city. Lots of people from there. Yeah.

"Hi. Is this where I come in about the personals ad?"

DON'T DO IT PHOENIX IT'S A TRAP.

Phoenix blinks at this new young woman at the door. Another personal ad response... great. "Um, yeah, I guess so, though I didn't actually... oh, never mind. Want to come in?" He indicates the couch in his office, which is definitely seeing more action than usual. Though not in that sense. Shut up.

"Oh, I prefer to stand, thanks." She smiles, politely. "Couches attract alien rays."

"So, any luck with that so far?"

Li is so amused. And Phoenix is cute when he's flustered, which only adds to the amusement.

"...Wait, what?" Oh shit, have the crazies finally started answering the ad? Because that would be the start of the end, and --

Er... "Any luck with what?" He's now confused. Like that's hard.

"The ad, of course." She rolls her eyes. 9_9 "Duh!"

"Oh, er, a few hits, including you..." [And you are so getting crossed off the list ANYWAY.] He seems to be trying to rally himself again. "Um, I'm Phoenix, what's your name?"

[clever--fool.livejournal.com]

"Ahh. I'm L-- Lily. Lily Linden." Yeah. That's it. "It is absolutely a pleasure to meet you, Phoenix."

There is a little curtsie which manages to not reveal a pantyshot despite the shortness of her skirt.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you, Lily." There's something odd about the name, but he can't put a finger on it. Hmm. Weird. "So, um, what kind of world do you come from? Anything interesting?" Hey, it's been a good conversation starter SO far.
