When: November 11, after classes
Where: A coffee shop in FDC

With another day done, Wave decided she needed a break.  A book in hand, she decided to try paying a trip to one of the city's coffee shops, getting herself a hot drink and catching up on some technical journals.  One needed to stay abreast of the latest developments in the fast paced world of technology and mechanical engineering.  She found herself a quiet place to sit by the window, and sat down to start enjoying her coffee, not knowing that fate had different plans for her.

Rouge just needed a break. Staring at screens of idiotic students gets old after a while. Caffeine was her drug of choice, and thus, coffee time it was.

Rouge entered the café and ordered a double espresso something-or-other. To her surprise, who was sitting at the table right beside the cashier but WAVE, Sonic's girlfriend and a general pain in her ass! This was too delicious an opportunity to pass up. One-upping Sonic's girlfriend, I mean.

"Why, hello there. Mind if I join you, sweetie?"

Oh lord. So much for her peaceful afternoon. Wave looked up, and making every attempt to appear like she was happy to see the bat, she said, "Not at all. Please, have a seat." Whatever Rouge wanted, Wave was sure she wasn't going to like it. "What brings you here?"

Rouge sat down and crossed her legs in her usual seductive manner. It was force of habit at this point in her life.

"Ohhhh, just taking a break from work to relax~. Watching our moron students walk the halls can be droll, I admit. But it's a living." She shrugged, but never lost her crafty grin.

She glanced over at the bar to see if her drink was ready yet.

"And you? Designing your next 'big invention'?" Rouge turned to watch the passers by along the street outside. Without turning back to Wave, she stated, "You -do- know Eggman will always be one step ahead of you, don't you?"

Wave's eye twitched. But she did her best to hide it. "Maybe, but unlike him, I don't sacrifice quality for quantity," she retorted. "I had no idea you had so much admiration for Eggman," she remarked.

Rouge scoffed. "Well, not so much admiration as an idea of his commitment. We DID work together, briefly." She stopped and scratched her chin for a moment. "Though he also insisted on riding around in a mech suit the entire time. That was a bit odd."

She placed both hands on the table and looked Wave in the eye as she stood up. "But I guess it's not much different from you lot and your hoverboards. If you'll excuse me, my drink is ready."

With a wink, Rouge left Wave alone for a minute to go collect her drink.

"It's better than what YOU ride to get ahead," Wave mumbled under her breath after Rouge left.

"The correct term is Extreme Gear," she reminded the bat when she came back. "And it's not like you haven't used them before either," she added. "As for Eggman's mech suit, he'd probably get winded if he had to walk for more than 5 minutes at a time."

Rouge's ear twitched when she scarcely caught what Wave was muttering. A bit perturbed, she decided to leave it alone. She figured if that kind of thing was what Wave needed to feel better about herself, it's fine with her. Rouge was hoping she'd do something similar in the presence of others so she could play on it and milk her own response for all it was worth. Ahh, the downsides of being "crafty" -- having to wait until the right moment. Tsk.

"HAhahaha!" Rouge laughed as she sat back down, crossing her legs again and leaning back, staring Wave right in the eye. "I don't doubt that! If the buffoon even attempted one of those.. *gesturing to indicate a skateboard or something like one, notably biting her cheek in disgust* hover gears you all use, you would have two boards in a split second. He can make vehicles for his racing all he wants; it'll never be faster than Sonic or Shadow, and he'll never even compare to the hover boards. He just makes a fool of himself every time. Hahaha!"

"He should stick to kidnapping and robot construction. *nods* That's more of his thing, don't you think?" Rouge took a sip of her drink.

"For once, I'll agree with you," Wave said, sipping her drink. It took all her effort to stay calm.

"So, how is work treating you?"
