Pixie Cabin - noonish, Thursday

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny was thinking this was becoming habit: Go to cabin that's not his, pick up chick, wait, get grilled by other cabin mates, then pick up chick. Hang out, do whatever. Be totally cool. 

But this was not a date. No way. This was just a going to lunch, hey! new friend! thing except Tori is totally hot with a surfer bod! and you just couldn't go wrong with pizza. If they were to go out at night for pizza? Totally a date. Night changes everything. It was written down somewhere - 

So, there he was, at the Pixie cabin door, knocking. Knock. Knock. Knock.

(up early because sp is so much love today, and for water_wonder please, though if any of the cabin mates want to have a go at him, you're welcome to it and whoa, deja vu..)

"He doesn't go by Doom, he goes by Troy," Bel said helpfully. "Dr. Troy. Works in the clinic. But if you ask me, there's something shifty about the guy."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"What do you mean, shifty?" None of this boded well, none of it.

[demonbelthazor]

"I just get the feeling he's up to something," Bel said, keeping a straight face.

Johnny nodded, understanding, or misunderstanding. It didn't really matter at this point in their conversation. "Most doctors usually are. But if this is who I think it is? He's definitely not trustworthy."

[demonbelthazor]

"What'd this guy do?" Bel asked, curious. "Must've been something pretty bad to get you all riled up like that. I was waiting for you to throw down."

"Aside from trying to kill me and my friends? A lot. He's got powers and he uses them in ways not collectively beneficial to the good of society. Course he's a billionaire; funded our trip to space..." Johnny frowned. "That's neither here nor there right now. He's no good. And if he is alive and here? He needs to be destroyed."

Johnny didn't crack the hard composure of his expression, but he did relent slightly by saying, "I apologize for that. For my behavior. I hope the mistake was understood."

[demonbelthazor]

"No problem," Bel said. "We get that kind of thing a lot around here. Half the people in Fandom have had their twin show up at some point. I wasn't too happy to see that doctor guy here. But I'm totally prettier than him anyway."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

That, got a chuckle out of him and though he would never admit to Doom being pretty, cause that just wasn't normal. He did joke around, "I'll save judgement until I see him. And I am going to see him. Anything specific I should know about this guy?"

All right. Belthazor was a goodlooking guy in a totally non-Doom way.

[demonbelthazor]

"He's pretty full of himself," Bel said. "Real arrogant. I've never seen him do anything, but, yeah, I get the feeling there's something sinister lurking underneath the surface." He grinned. "And I would know."

"Sounds just like Doom, the cocky son of a..." Johnny sighed, ran his hand back through his hair. "How would you know?"

[demonbelthazor]

"'Cause I'm a demon," Bel said casually.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Come again?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Demon," Bel said, conjuring another fireball, then clapping his hands together to extinguish it.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"From hell?" he asked dumbly, watching the whole fireball thing.

Then, because he was a show off, he lit up his hand.

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, pretty much," Bel said. "But I don't go there anymore." He eyed Johnny's hand. "Neat trick. Where's you learn to do that?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"That's good to know. Hell's gotta suck." he said, waving his hand slightly. "In space." What? It was true basically.

[demonbelthazor]

"You from another planet?" Bel asked. Around here that wasn't uncommon, after all.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm from New York City." Last week Johnny might have wtf'ed at that question.

"So you're a demon - do you still phone home?" That was just kind of scary. Demons. Hell. A place he never wanted to visit.

[demonbelthazor]

"I pretty much avoid home now," Bel said. "I don't play well with other demons."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Right. So, pleasure meeting you, Belthazor," Johnny grinned and extended his now extinguished hand. "Things cool between us?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel shook Johnny's hand. "We're cool," he said. "Just keep your hands off my girlfriend."
