Nope, I wasn't waiting long at all, just a few minutes! It's no big deal. [ Was she supposed to say she didn't wait at all, even the few minutes...? Trucy wasn't sure, but she didn't pause to fret about it. Leon - because that was what the badge said - certainly looked upbeat and that was at least a good thing. She hadn't really minded who would show up to meet her, so long as they had fun.

First dates were supposed to be fun, weren't they? Granted, she hadn't really had anyone to ask about that, since she was pretty sure everyone would make a big deal about it, and the ones who might be more low-key hadn't ever dated to her knowledge...

Her world was full of eccentrics. She adored it, but it made it hard to get actual advice on actual teenage girl things, sometimes. ]


You look nice, too! Leon...what's your full name? I'm Trucy Wright!

It's Leon Kuwata! Nice to meet you!

[First name first, huh . . . he's starting to get used to that here. In his opinion, his name sounds pretty cool that way, anyway.

Leon gets comfortable, folding his arms on the table and taking a quick look around the restaurant again before making eye contact. It's a nice place that he probably never would have thought to take a date to himself, so if it's her thing, he'll have to keep that in mind . . . and if it's not, it's not his fault, so that's a weight off his chest. But so far, he's highly approving of everything Mabel set up for him. Damn, what a cute face!]


Heh, this's my first blind date! How about you? You look pretty chill with it.

[Of course, so does he, despite that.]

That's the way to be! You just have fun and go with the flow, right?

[ Sorry about the inevitable Fatherly Inquisition that is likely to follow your super cute date, Leon. Trucy's one of the very few kids in Cerealia with a parent present. Not that she minds it, given she signed her own father up for the blind date event in an effort to get him dating, too.

She's a loving daughter, really. ]


This is my first date ever, actually! [ Which doesn't seem to bug her in the least. She's seventeen now, as of a few days ago ICly, but she's never really had the time for romance. There's been way too much stage magicianing and helping to solve murders and schoolwork and being CEO (until Daddy took over again, of course) to bother with boys. But in Cerealia she...

Well, she still does her magic and schoolwork, but she's not a CEO and she isn't playing murder-solving assistant, so her schedule is just a little freer. ]


I agree, though!! It's always best to try to have fun and go with things as they happen! Otherwise you'll stress yourself out waaaaaay too much. Polly never really got that...oh, he's one of my employees back home.

Waaaait, you serious? One o' your employees?

[He'd been about to protest the "first date" thing. That's crazy! How could a girl this cute never go on a date? But then there's the answer, and it's a hundred times more surprising than never having dated before. Isn't this girl around his age? (A little younger, right; he has to remind himself of that, still. But whatever, close enough.) How could she have employees?

Leon grabs the menu to look at, but he's too busy with this first to think yet about the food.]


What kinda job d'you have where you hire people?

Oh, I was CEO of the Wright Anything Agency! But I scaled back to focus on school a bit, so I'm just the head of the Talent Branch of the Agency now - I'm our very best act!

[ The Talent branch consists 100% of Trucy Wright at the moment, but she never mentions that part because it sounds so much less impressive than just pointing out she's the head of the talent branch, okay... ]

Polly was with our Legal branch, but I took time out of my work to help him out a bit as necessary! Anyway, almost everyone from home who's here is from the Legal branch...

[Waaaaait a second here. This is beginning to sound familiar. Leon stares; why is everyone here a lawyer?!

Well, she'd implied she wasn't, sure, but still! This is starting to get weird!]


--Wait, you know a girl named Athena?

[Maybe it's at least the same agency. That'd be a little less coincidental . . . or would it be more coincidental? It might at least explain the age thing. Teenage girls in that world sure do get a lot of really important-sounding jobs, like lawyer and CEO.]

[ Because lawyers > everyone else, duh. ]

Athena Cykes? Yeah, of course! She's one of the Agency's employees, too! Legal branch. Though I bet she'd do well in the Talent branch, too! She'd make a great lovely assistant to the magician...

[ Especially because practically all lawyers are really good at voice projection. Which is key in assistant-ing, so far as Trucy is concerned. ]

So you're one of Athena's friends?
babermetrics: (honks la cucuracha horn)

[personal profile] babermetrics 2015-07-30 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah, somethin' like that . . .

[Close enough. They've met a couple times, and he has a date with her in three days, which is probably not a thing you mention on a date. Still, friends seems--well, Leon would like that, but they're still pretty new to one another, and he's not sure how Athena feels about it.

He laughs, dragging his water over with one hand for when he wants it. Which is soon, but not while talking.]


I met her when she threw an alien at me? Ha ha! So yeah, I know her. I knew she was a lawyer, and she said there were a bunch o' others here too. Ah, you know Larry? I know him too! We went out to lunch!

[That one was so not a date.]

Wait a sec, what magician? You're a magic law firm?

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-07-30 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Trucy giggles, mostly because that's a few questions at once. Or two, so she holds up a finger, putting off the second question for a second. ]

Uncle Larry? Yeah, I've known him since I was little! Although he's from before he ever met me, so he only knows me from here. [ He's not her actual uncle, but as good as... ]

As to the magic...I'm definitely a magician! But we're not a magic law firm. Like I said, I'm the head of the Talent branch - you know, like entertainment? I'm actually really popular back home, and my show is doing well here, too! But it's pretty much completely separate from the Legal Branch, even if I do help them out sometimes!

[ Mostly because she enjoys spending time with Apollo and her dad. Trucy shrugs a little, hooking some hair behind her ear as she considers it. ]

Althooooooough when I say "Anything", I mean it! We take on all sorts of jobs, really. I contract a lot of them still even though Daddy took over as CEO, and, well, a lot of people do just come to us on their own. Or they did at home, anyway. We have the best defense lawyers around!

[For getting-to-know-you talk, this is actually interesting, if mostly because it's so . . . out there. The last thing Leon expected in his date was for her to be an ex-CEO magician working for a law firm. (Do most law firms have entertainment branches? Leon's not sure. That doesn't seem to make sense, but there's nothing about lawyering that he actually understands, anyway, so for all he knows it's a thing.)

She's not getting less cute, either; he's briefly distracted by the playing with her hair, taking a sip of his water and nodding. He ought to be looking at the menu, but whatever! The point of a date's not the food, unless it's a bad date!]


Sooo you're lawyers but you've got talent too? Is that how it works in America? That's kinda cool. Like, you think of law stuff as real stuffy and boring, right? Just a bunch of older dudes in suits and ties arguin' all day? I was real surprised when I met Athena, and now you're like, tellin' me you put on shows too! That's totally a game-changer!

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-07-31 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome to come to one of my shows sometime if you want! I work in the Arcades these days.

[ Sometimes in conjunction with a cute fortune-teller named Pearl. Trucy occasionally adds "special effects" to Pearl's love-fortunes, which means a lot of smoke and glitter and images in the crystal ball... ]

And law definitely isn't stuffy or boring! Geeze, I dunno where you got that impression? The courtroom is always a battleground...sometimes actually literally. Prosecutor Blackquill seems to think so, anyway...he's been known to set his bird on people as a distraction.

[ the aa legal world makes no damn sense ]

Wait, you serious? Why the hell ain't there more lawyer action movies?

[He is so here for this. Why hasn't he ever gone to see a lawyer movie before, damn! He always assumed they'd be about, like, the law and stuff! Leon leans across the table excitedly:]

You ever, like, help out by usin' magic as a distraction? You could pull a bird out of a hat or somethin'! Or maybe an explosion . . . ahhh, that'd be aaawesome! I'd one thousand percent go see that movie!

[He's kind of forgotten there are actual legal battles involved at this point.

He's leaning on the drink menu, though, and glances down at it when it shifts under his arms. Hmmmm.]


Hey, so, if you know about legal stuff, d'you know what the drinking age is here?
