Superkids! 2007/01/22 	 Eleven Kibin Lorelei Cliff Worth Trick 1

Scene: Main Street

Kibin walks calmly along Main Street, looking for anything out of the ordinary, or any crimes in progress. None have been seen so far, so he continues walking along, yawning.

There's a bit of commotion outside a store where Lorelei appears to be signing autographs. An alert-looking Cliff stands just behind her, looking about. The paparazzi are out in force as well, perhaps because Lorelei hasn't been seen much since Christmas.

Kibin notices Lorelei easily when he sees the store, it's hard not to. He decides to walk over. The crowds don't seem to be letting him through... so Kibin just waves at Lorelei from a distance.

Lorelei spots Kibin through the crowd. "There's Kibin," she says to the crowd, "Dinosaur and superhero! A rarer sight than me, surely!" Sure enough, some of the crowd (and cameras) turn in Kibin's direction.

"Ooh, a real dinosaur! Can I touch it, mom?" says one little kid.

Kibin blinks, surprised by this sudden turn, and waves meekly to the cameras. "Um. hi"

The cameras snap a few photos - meanwhile the kid runs away from his mother and tries to grab Kibin!

Lorelei tries to slip away at least somewhat while attention is momentarily on Kibin, but the photographers are having none of it. "How about a photo with both of you in it?"

Kibin steps away from the kid, not exactly knowing what to do now. Well... at least Lorelei isn't so swamped now for autographs... He says to the photographers, "Uh... yeah, I don't mind."

The kid clumsily misses Kibin by miles - indeed, tripping over his shoelaces. He falls down, and starts crying.

Kibin glances back at the child... didn't mean that... Hopefully it'll be all right, so Kibin gets ready for the picture with Lorelei that the photographers suggested?

The mother pushes her way to the child - unfortunately it's getting a bit crowded with mindless photographers. Meanwhile the child bawls louder than ever.

Lorelei agrees to the photo, though she's looking a bit concerned for the child now.

Kibin sighs, gult getting the better of him. He goes help the child, helping him up and taking him to his mother.

The mother smiles and thanks Kibin for his assistance, and tries to comfort the child. Photographers snap pictures of Kibin and the kid.

A big crowd is gathered outside a store where Lorelei has been signing autographs and being photographed. The photographers have just had a few of her and Kibin together, as well. Meanwhile a child attempted to hug Kibin and fell down and started crying. Kibin took him back to his mother.

Eleven stands around in the back looking at the scene. . o O (She's sure popular these days...)

Kibin looks around for something out of the ordinary...

There are too many people here. It's hard to smell anything among all these smelly bodies!

Kibin looks confused for a moment... and then shrugs it off and leaves the child with the mother.

The boy seems to settle down once he's in his mother's arms, and the photographers encourage Kibin to pose with Lorelei for a few pictures.

Kibin doesn't mind much, or at least doesn't show that he minds, and complys with the photographers for a few shots with Lorelei.

The mother takes the boy away into the crowd.

Eleven can't see over some heads and starts trying to push his way up to where Lorelei is!

"Hey buddy, I was here first!" says a large man who doesn't appreciate being pushed past, without even a glance at Eleven.

Eleven gives the guy the 'finger'. "Up yours!", replies the calm asian gun man. He tries to get Lorelei's attention with a wave.

The man turns to face Eleven down. This initial look suggests he's not impressed. Then his face registers recognition. Then he pales. "Uh, look, I don't want no trouble...."

Eleven nods to man and continues to push his way towards Lorelei. Eleven seems to just savor using his bad reputation for his own purposes.

Lorelei seems completely oblivious to Eleven - probably hasn't even spotted him in the crows.

Eleven frowns and makes a loud ahem noise before greeting the blond beauty. He seems to be not paying any attention to Kibin. "Lorelei."

Lorelei turns, recognising the voice. "Oh - Eleven! Long time no see!" A dozen paparazzi turn their cameras on Eleven.

Kibin rubs his eyes from all the flash cameras. "How can you stand all of those camera flashes all the time..." he asks Lorelei.

Eleven nods in agreement with Kibin's question. THe gunman frowns at the paparazzi and motions for his gun in a threatening manner. Warning them that there could be trouble if they keep it up.

Eleven adds, "Yeah, it's been a while. Seems like you are getting pretty popular these days."

It's enough for the paparazzi to turn back to Lorelei, anyway....

Lorelei grins and shrugs. "Well, you know, since this summer... and Decemeber especially...."

Kibin looks around at the various photographers, commenting, "I seem to be pretty popular too... don't think I've got this much publicity..."

Lorelei grins to Kibin. "Dinosaurs alway play well, at least to the kiddies..."

Eleven nods to Lorlei's comment. "Yeah it was a long trip.." However, the gunman suddenly seems distracted. "What the..." He looks around to see if he can spot who took his prized possession!!

Kibin nods at Lorelei, saying to her, "Yes, I liked dinosaurs too when I was a kid... not many kids don't have dinosaurs to play with." He glances at Eleven, asking, "Something wrong?"

Eleven doesn't want to admit he lost his weapon so quickly, so he just murmurs something in Chinese to Kibin.

Eleven hrms as he eyes someone pushing through the crowd. He finally says something comprehensible to Kibin, "Kibin, you get any weird smells from that Red headed guy in the long coat?" Jack turns away from his acquaintances and starts pushing his way through the crowd trying to follow!

Eleven continues to push along. He doesn't say anything to get innocent paparazzis in trouble..

Kibin follows Eleven, saying, "Um... he has no smell."

Eleven blinks, "What? No Smell? Not even a human stench?" He tries to look back at Lorelei to notify her something is amiss and gives a sign of good job of keeping the camera guys busy.

The crowds part for an angry-looking Eleven - at least the people who tear their eyes away from Lorelei long enough to notice. Lorelei nods and focusses on keeping innocents (and paparazzi) distracted.

Kibin says to Eleven, "There's just some kid that can make illusions or something... why do you ask?"

Eleven seems suprised. "You know that red headed kid?"

Eleven continues pursuit...

Kibin follows Eleven, shaking his head... He says to Eleven, "No, just some kid using illusions and pickpocketing or something..."

Eleven nods to Kibin, "You know that for sure?" He glances around to see if they are still following and if they are clear of innocents.

Eleven asks Kibin, "You smell my gun on him?"

Kibin sniffs around, hmming, commenting, "Can't tell where your gun is, apparently lots of people have guns... and can't exactly tell where the kid is anymore." He glances back at who Eleven is following, saying to him, "You do realize that's an illusion, right? His leg just went through a woman."

The guy/illusion has broken free of the crowd and is running across the street.

Kibin heads back into the crowd, sniffing.

Your vote for Eleven has been recorded.

Eleven frowns in frustration. "Damn illusion! Where is the guy that took my gun?" He looks around and tries to remain calm. But, it is his gun!

Eleven nods.

Eleven sighs and goes to see what Amy is up to. He'll need some luck with this..

The crowds, alas are stupider than usual and no help. Lorelei is probably something to do with that....

Eleven waves to Lorelei, "See ya laters. I'm glad to see you are doing well." And with that, Eleven is off for the Lucky Finds..

Lorelei waves back, asssuming the crisis is over...
