strangetrip | [EP] Just chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool

Unlike others at the Inn, Clarice didn't get a ghostly visit and she was very much okay with that. She had enough ghosts in her head without visits from home telling her how much she screwed up or will screw up or whatever. Even though the weather had been mild, the sunsets coming later meant that spring was on its way. The nights were still freaking chilly but it was warm enough out now to enjoy the pool. At least a heated one and if it got too cold there was always teleporting to her room. Alcohol helped to keep you warm, too and since the pool had a bar, it was win/win.

Clarice did a few laps in the pool while she waited for her lunch to be delivered. As she came to the end of one lap, she saw Molly with a plate of food. "Perfect timing." Clarice said as she pushed herself out of the pool to eat the chicken and fries with her Manhattan. "Thanks!"

There was a quirk to her lips when she pulled the cherry out of the drink and popped it in her mouth to make a knot with the stem. It was a fun reminder of Thor and she made a mental note to see what he was up to.

"Very cool," Thor confirms. "But you don't have any of that where you come from, do you?"

"Nope. Just mutants, no cool animals." She paused, "well except Zingo back in the mutant underground. Cool animal but just a regular dog." And man did Clarice miss her a lot.

"How did you wind up with Zingo?" Thor asks, taking another sip of his beverage.

"When I joined the mutant underground, Zingo was already there. My first day, well full day there, I showed a friend what happened if I try to portal some place I've never seen or been." She smiled slightly, "I demonstrated with a chew toy and didn't realize that it was Zingo's favorite. I felt bad when it got cut in half, that I fixed it for her and we've been hanging out ever since. I think it also has to do with she and I are obviously different from the other mutants. I have pointed ears and she has fur."

Thor smiles at that. He loves animals.

"So all of your other mutants look human, then?"

"Most are, yeah." Clarice nodded. "Some are like me or even less able to pass for human." She paused, "I heard a rumor when I was on the run that there were a group like me, that can't pass for humans, that call themselves Morlocks and they live in tunnels."

Clarice's smile turned wry, "of course they could be like the giant alligators that live in the sewers of New York City. An urban legend."

Thor hums at that.

"I was a legend once," he says. At least to the Midgardians. "Anything is possible."

That made Clarice grin, "Thor - the man, the myth, the legend."

"The god, the myth, the legend," Thor corrects.
