Treat Yourself (D10, LA Neumark Mall)

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

Mei laughed. "Wrenches works, less chance of them running away after you throw them."

Mei winced slightly and spoke to the hairdresser saying she wants her hair dyed white not bleached then spoke to Alex again.

"So you say you haven't really thought about the future but have you ever considered the arena, or do you really enjoy the travel?"

[Alex Kovac]

"Oh ... none of that... I wouldn't last a day in the arena and well traveling is nice and all." Alex said quite modestly. "Gives me time to study. I may low at the library and try my best to remember the books I have read."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"What kind of stuff do you read, genres I mean?"

[Alex Kovac]

"For recreation Fantasy and adventures. For study math, statistics, and mech schematics. Well that last one is also for recreation depends on my mood." The stylist started to spray the braid. "Why not get a wig instead of dying your hair? I like your black hair."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"I don't know, I've never really thought about it; never worn one before. Would one even fit over my hair or would I have to shave my head? I hope not, I want to grow my hair out once I don't need to wear a helmet anymore."

[Alex Kovac]

"No need to shave your head...there are caps and ways to style the hair so it doesn't show." Alex looked at the stylist for confirmation. She did nod. "So you can even go purple or pink without damaging your hair. Ooooooooh go long curls... that might look interesting."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"I'll have to look into that, I honestly never considered it before. Have you ever worn a wig? Probably not since you already have long hair."

[Alex Kovac]

"I have... it has been a long time. I wore a nice red one once because another bet lost to Rico." Alex giggled. "I should stop making bets with Rico but it so fun from time to time."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"One of the two of you really likes the color red it seems...and I'm starting to think you lose these bets on purpose. If that's the case maybe I need to start making bets with you, though mine are probably a lot less innocent than Rico's."

[Alex Kovac]

"Rico likes it and I am a softy of his whims. I sometimes just let him win. It keeps his moral high." Alex giggled. "I wouldn't bet on that Mei..." the Penguin winked. "I... probably would tell you the odds of something happening."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"OH REALLY." Mei exclaimed. "Well then...no no never mind, I'm going to spare the staff here." Mei shifted uncomfortably in her chair.

[Alex Kovac]

"I am no diviner just know how to calculate odds." The Penguin shrugged. "But if you want we can go to the arcade some day or try some pool."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"I'm crap at video games sadly, I like pool but I wouldn't say I am good at it and I'm generally terrible at anything the requires reading people like poker. Piloting is the about the only thing I am good at."

[Alex Kovac]

"Oh come on, you should be good in sims games or music ones." Alex smiled. "I think there might be a dance one. Let's try that one... pleaseeeee!" The Penguin made puppy sad eyes trying to convince Mei. The manicurist wasn't very pleased by the Angel moving the hands so much.

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"Oh a dance off? That sounds like fun, I'm definitely interested. But the dancing is only half the fun, gotta think of a bet too and that's where I am stuck. I'm just not sure what to bet you."

[Alex Kovac]

"Oh..." Alex laughed. "How about start with something simple... something silly... you know."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"Silly and simple works, thankfully this isn't something we are doing today because I will need time to think of something. Normally my bets and dares are either risque or punishing or both, like the time I made Pickle wash Gǔ wearing nothing but a banana hammock. We all lost that day." She said with a laugh.
