Who: Adam Jensen & all the ladies
What: DATES. Only not really, we'll just be grabbing coffee.
Where: Campus cafeteria where Rick can see. Unless you wanna hit the city afterwards dohoho.
When: WHENEVER
Warnings: tba though I'm pretty sure Adam will behave this time around. because he's a gentleman. occasionally.

[ So, whoever you are--probably a really attractive lady, possibly one on Rick's lists of favorites, even--at some point during a typical schoolday, when it seemed the most convenient and not at all suspicious, Adam has chatted you up and asked if you would like to spend your lunchbreak with him. Only to discuss school/work and socialize a bit, of course.

And, crazy as you are, you agreed.

So here we are, sitting in a rather secluded corner, a fair distance away from silly and way too nosy students, each with their beverage of choice in front of them. Hard to say where this is going, but Adam's intentions seem innocent enough for now. It may really not go beyond discussing the usual, but there's still the evening if the chemistry is right... and it had gone well enough with Miss Aran before. Kind of. ]

... And you came to this school in particular why, exactly?

[ Always a good conversation starter. ]

Isn't it obvious?

[ Evve held up her paper cup of coffee with a smirk on her face. ]

Free coffee. [ She took a small sip with that, leaning back in her seat to look around the area. They could've stood to go elsewhere, and she couldn't imagine why someone would want to sit in this area and attempt at a discussion. It might've been showing in her face as she eyed the loudest section of vocal cords in need of clipping. ]

[ Well he's not at all opposed to going somewhere else. Adam also knocks Rick is probably around here somewhere so if he ends up leaving Campus together with Evve, all the better. ]

Free, but I've definitely had better.

[ In other words, it tastes like shit. Which might be the reason why his own cup is still almost full. ]

Did you want to go somewhere else?

[ Where it's more quiet ... and for better coffee of course. ]

Only if you're buying.

[ Well, that was blatant. Way to this girl's heart - Well, not that close. More like the way to this girl's upgrade from mediocre existence to acceptable company was food, drink, and withstanding her dry humor gracefully. ]

Before I put effort into walking anywhere, however... What's the catch?

[THE CATCH IS HE'S NO GOOD FOR YOU AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE THROW INTO A JEALOUS RAGE WHEN I FIND OUT ABOUT THIS.]

Sure, why not.

[ He somehow got enough money. HOW ABOUT WE HEAD TO STARBUCKS ... ]

There's no catch, really. I just don't like sitting in my office the whole day on my own.

Really.

[ She wasn't entirely buying it, but since he was buying the drinks, she could accept it for as long as the fillings were free. She took this moment to remember their email exchange and smirked. ]

I guess attempting to find your admiring vandal was too much of a hassle? [ By this point, Evve was sure she knew who it was. She made it known to her co-worker but only because he was fingering the wrong person for it. Otherwise she didn't care much at all. ] I'd need a break as well, I suppose. They can be quite tricky.

That's not how I'd put it. I'm just - used to a different work environment. There's a difference between taking care of the security of a moderately big biotech corporation and ... hunting down troublesome kids playing pranks.

[ Pretty much. Maybe he's just being lazy, too. ]

Alright then. Shall we go?

Sounds more complicated... [ Evve stood from her seat, coffee officially abandoned for the prospect of something far more... consumable. Igh. ] But no one ever said children would be easy, hm?

[ She was imagining his previous career along the lines of something with a little more action involved. By his looks, he practically screamed gun-friendly. Then again, she only had novels to go by. Maybe they'd get caught in a shoot out. He'd take down the enemy and then carry her away to free coffee.

Like hell she'd do anything with a male lead that she normally read about. GROSS. Coffee was good. It's at least have an interesting journey attached. Sigh. And she did. She was so boooored lately. ]

[ And many of Evve's assumptions are spot-on, in fact. Adam's a lot more action-oriented and usually went on super secret corporate espionage infiltration missions. Or just punch-everyone-into-a-coma missions. ]

No. I wanted to have kids myself, once. But only one or two. And I'd make sure they have some manners.

[ Hahaha no. Anyway, he also abandons his seat and coffee and will lead Evve to his fancy car so they can hit the city, aw yeah. ]

[ARE YOU TWO TALKIN' ABOUT HAVIN' BABIES

YOU'D BETTER NOT BE HAVIN' BABIES TOGETHER]

[~~They're simply discussing the subsequence of something far more fun, Rick~~

But fancy cars? Evve would enjoy a ride in a fancy car. She whistled with mild impression, giving it the once over before letting herself inside. ]

Do you drive fast?

[ She'd only been a car a couple of times. Well, more like a bus. Otherwise it had been boats, trains, and her trusty ol' paws for travel. ]

When I have to. I had plenty of excuses to drive fast when I was still a cop.

[ He still does it, whether or not he's still a cop, because Adam doesn't care. He takes the driver's seat, and he's not exactly a reckless driver, but he's not overly careful, either. ]

Where you thinking of a place in particular?

Well, don't be boring. [ She shut her door and leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes and considering his question. ]

I've only been to the city once since my arrival here. I didn't get much of a chance to explore it, considering I was trapped with a bunch of children and a giant sandwich. [ Oh.

Her bright brown eyes revealed themselves, lashes fluttering open in his direction. ] Between the car and the coffee, I hope I'm not asking too much of you when I say "Impress me".

I try...

[ Failing that, he could tell her a few pretty exciting stories, certainly, but those are... better kept to himself. ]

Though I didn't get to see much of the city myself, yet. Been to a few places, though--there's a nice café that serves some decent coffee. Cake, too. But if you're in the mood for a proper meal, there's this one steakhouse I've been to recently...

[In Cammy's world, invitations like this did not go unanswered. Here was a man she had never met before, and she had just returned from a mission... there could be something up. So, why not check it out? If he really was just an outgoing kind of man, then no harm done, but if he had other intentions... she could nip it in the bud while still young.]

I transferred into university from Capcom. Across town.

[RICK WAS WATCHING. IN THE CORNER. BEHIND A HANGING PLANT.]

[ NO OTHER INTENTIONS WHATSOEVER. He's just trying to be nice, honest, and he looks very interested.

It's miles better than sitting around in his office yelling at people through mail, anyway. ]

Really. And what did you do there? Any reason you transferred here specifically?

[Cammy, for all her skills in observation, took no notice to the green eyed robotic ball hidden in the nearby shrubbery.]

I was just taking classes, and then I graduated. Capcom is Smash's rival school, but there always seemed to be something a bit different about it. Call it curiosity.

[ Neither did Adam, for that matter. It's hard to single out someone like Rick on his radar, but Adam's sure he's watching and fuming. ]

Well that's a little odd, transferring over to the rival school... sounds more like you might have been unhappy back there.

There were still plenty of people I got on well with over there... But maybe I was. What about you?
