The thought of attending an anime convention and entering in the cat girl contest was enough to draw Nika to the convention center. There were tons of people in various costumes. All kinds of booths with everything from t-shirts to signed comic books lined the insides of the buidling.
All was going well to include winning the contest until a group of mutant haters decided to crash the party. Apparently they didn't like people in general as they bullied a few other people both in costume and out.
When they worked their way to the contest area they really started to get annoying. They would pull off the ears of some of the other girls costumes or step on their tails. This is what they attempted to do to Nika but instead they got a surprising reaction.
"Eeeek! Hey watch it jerk!" The words flew out of her mouth faster than she had time to think of what was happening, but her facial expression showed her realization of what had occured.

The other cat girls looked on in astonishment as they realized that Nika's constume was for real. She could hear them start gossiping amongst themselves. Most of which was good stuff like compliments and wishful thinking. Had her tail not be in pain she would've gladly gone and talked to the other girls but that wasn't the situation.
There were three guys up on the stage. Nika had no idea there were more in the crowd. It seemed as if these dorks couldn't go into a place full of comic fans and anime watchers without having to have some numbers themselves. How tough could a bunch of people that were typically called nerds be? Well, these punks were about to find out if they didn't go away.
"What the hell? Hey this chic's tail is for real." The guy pointed at Nika's aching tail. "I think we found ourselves a damn mutant."
Nika immediately scowled at the guy as he finished his statement. "What's your problem? Can't you see you're interrupting the show?"
"Oh we're gonna have a show alright mutie." The man grabbed Nika's left arm and started yelling out at the crowd as he advertised Nika's status. Perhaps he hoped there might be more mutant haters in the crowd.
"Hey let go of me or you're gonna regret it." Nika's warning should've came with a big red flag for her to wave in front of the man and his buddies.
"Ohh the kitty is threatening me now huh? What are you gonna do scratch my eyes out and hiss at me?" The man and his buddies commenced to laughing but Nika's arm was still held firm.
She didn't have to use her hidden mutation to accomplish her first strike. She already had all she needed with her compact cat like muscles. Her strike was quick and precise as her claws extended and she clawed the man's face. Her calws sliced through his skin and ruptured the man's eyes. He screamed in pain as he let go of Nika's arm who in turn directed her attention to the other two guys on the stage in case they were going to try something.

A man shot up to the ceiling from somewhere amongst the crowd. Nika didn't see exactly what had happened but she caught most of it out of the corner of her eye. The cat girl's attention was still on the guys on the stage. That is until the two unscathed guys were bashed together repeatedly. The first guy fell off the stage as he clutched his bloodied face.
Now Nika's attention was fixed directly on the big red man who was asking if the mutant on stage was alright. The guy either had a very bulky costume on or maybe he really was that big.
Rubbing her wrist Nika carefully stepped up and answered the man. "Yeah I'm alright. I've been through much worse. Thanks for the help though. You didn't have to get involved."

A giggle escaped the cat girls mouth as the big red guy asked one of the juges if the contest was going to continue. Even though the man nodded yes all he had left to do was give out the second and thrid place prizes.
"I already won the contest." Nika pointed at the big blue first place ribbon that was pinned to her shirt.
They heard someone ask what was the trouble and the red guy started talking like he had to go. "Wait, I'll go with you." Nika headed off the stage and lead the two of them outside where they could breathe better. "I'm Nika. What's your name?"

Nika smiled and looked up at the big man. "Why do you say anime cons are made for me? Is it cause of my looks?" She wasn't trying to back Abyss into a corner with her questiosn but she was genuinely curious. Although she pretty much knew the answer already.
"So where are you from, and if you don't mind me asking how did you get named after a void?" The cat girl's facial expression was purely innocent as she asked her questions.

Nika giggled as Abyss replied to her question. She already knew the answer but it was much better hearing someone say the words. "Yeah I love winning those contests, but sometimes there's some girls who have some very realistic costumes. They are usually really good sports about the whole thing and most of the girls love when I'm around." The young girl giggled again.
"I think my favorite anime is Inuyasha. What's yours?" Nika looked around and took a deep breath of the fresh air. It was fun being in the Con but it was stuffy as well.

((OOC: OK if anyone else is following this I think this is my cutest post for Nika yet but it displays her personality to a tee.))
The cat girl smiled as the big man gave her props on winning so may contests. "Yeah sometimes there's a sore loser but most times the other girls are pretty sweet about the whole thing and the love being on stage with me." Nika played with her tail a bit nervously.
She heard a sound like small wheels clanking and squeeking. Turing to look she saw some paramedics with a guy on a stretcher. Shaking her head Nika couldn't think of anything to say about the sight. She kind of felt sorry for the guys but they were asking for it.
He asked if she was hurt but Nika smiled broadly and jumped to her feet and with a few quick fake jabs to the air she turned to Abyss. "No way. Those guys couldn't hurt me if they tried. I would've wiped the floor with them." Finishing her sentence the girl brushed her nose with her right thumb a couple quick times like a boxer. Then she sat down and giggled loudly.
"So what's your story? Are you from around here or out of town? What do you do besides come to innoncent looking cat girls aid?"

Looking at her claws she smiled. "Yeah, they can be pretty handy." SHe giggled when Abyss mentioned he spends his time rescuing cat girls, but when he mentioned being part of a mutant rights organization she didn't comment. She wasn't exactly sure how well a mutant rights group views Xaviers institute so instead she let it slip by and focused on the next thing.
"No, I'm not a wanted criminal or anything. I don't rob people or hurt them on purpose unless they deserve it or keep pushing me. For the most part i'm just a happy go lucky cat girl." Her stomach rumbled a little and she quickly placed both of her hands over her stomach to muffle it. Looking up with a bit of a blush and a smile she went on. "Yeah, I think getting something to eat sounds great. You pick the place."

As Nika was already standing she took Abyss's hand and vaulted herself up onto his shoulder where she crouched and hung on. "Oh yeah, Hard Rock Cafe is cool with me. I've never been to one beofe to be honest. What's it like in there? Are there a bunch of head banging people in there? I love hard rock but I like rave and techno style music mostly. What about you?"

After being set down back on her feet Nika smiled as she noticed some of the anime people had decided to eat here also. A waiter came up and the hostess instructed the young man to seat the big red man and the white furred girl at the bar stools. "I thought it would be best so that you guys don't ruin your tails. I love your outfits by the way."
Nika muffled a giggle as the lady finished her compliment but she really was very nice. "Well thank you that's very sweet."
"Here you guys go. Can I get you anything to drink for starters?" The man was probably in his early twenties but very polite. Then again who wouldn't be polite if your tip depended on it.
"Umm...I'd like a raspberry iced tea if you have it." Nika looked to Abyss and waited for him to make his selection. While she waited the cat girl could hear lots of different conversations going on. People talking about their work, others discussing what to do after they finished eating and still others talking about the con.

"Oh those sound pretty good. I don't want anything else right now." Nika smiled at the waiter as he wrote down their order.
"I'll have them right up."
Nika was still looking around the place. There was lots to see and lots of people as well. She then turned back to Abyss as she wondered what he was thinking.
"So tell me more about yourself. Do people ever call you the red hulk or anything?"

"Well, I've visited New York alot. I'm originally from Boston. So that's why I don't have the tourist look." Nika couldn't help but giggle a little. She didn't want to go into her childhood as the conversation was on a happy tone.
The waiter returned with their drinks and the appetizers. "Here you guys go. Enjoy."
Nika sipped her tea and then grabbed a cheese stick. The breading was crispy and the cheese was nice and melty. So much so that when she was able to get the cheese to seperate from the other half of the cheese stick some of it landed on her bottom lip.
Knowing what was on he lip but pretending to not notice she continued talking to Abyss to see his reaction.
"So what other things interest you besides Anime cons and places like this?"

He ate the cheese she thought to herself. She wasn't expecting that. It was a bold move on his part.
Slightly giggling, "Yeah, I love those contests. Well, let's see... I like the outdoors, I only like water when I'm drinking it or in a shower, I love dancing and soaking up the sun both outside and laying infront of a window indoors."
Nika finished off her chese stick as it was getting a little cool then sipped her tea again.

"Yeah, going somewhere wild soulds be pretty cool to see. It would be different that being in the city." Nika ate a potato wedge. She liked it as much as she liked the cheese stick. It was really tastey with the cheese and bacon bits.
When Abyss asked his next set of questions Nika smiled. "I'm 16. My favorite color is white and I don't have a favorite movie but I do love the broadway show Cats." Nika sipped her drink.
"So now you're turn. How old are you? What's your favorite color, as if I didn't know? What's your favorite movie?"

"I was thinking you were in yoru twenties or so. You seem pretty mature." Nika giggled at the look on Abyss's face when he realized her age. "Don't worry if you had ordered a drink from the bar it wouldn't have bothered me. I hope you don't feel uncomfortable now." Nika had a bit of a worried look on her face. She was enjoying having someone to talk to and hang out with.
"I didn't try out for the part but I did get to talk to the cast. They were all really great. In fact, one of the girls plays a white cat and she said she loved it. She was glad to see me because it inspired her more she said." Nika smiled proudly. "They also said that I can go watch them anytime I want for free."
