Speaking of the movie and the muse... Sky Captain was so underrated.

So friends of yours were talking about it and that made you remember me? Gee who does that remind me of?

Look don't worry about me, I'm sure I'll keep myself busy with a story, you go do...whatever it is that you do.

[ohhhh kay. Red guys, blue guys, hooves and fur...this was turning into an interesting night.]

That's always been my credo, you don't get to be a top reporter as a woman without being about the best reporter on the block.

So it would seem.

[There is a smile. Hank did have a slight weakness for lady reporters.]

But where are my manners? My name is Henry McCoy. But you may call me Hank.

[Have a large furry hand held out in a handshake]

[intrepid_girl_reporter]

Hank McCoy, pleasure to meet you. Polly Perkins with The Chronicle.

I think you found your manners just find, better in fact than some men I know.

[She shook his hand, the fur was different but there was no fear reaction in her.]

[azure_intellect]

Then I would hate to think the kind of men you have run into before.

[Hank thinks for a second]

The chronicle...the Chronicle...may I ask which Chronicle you work for? there are a few that I am familiar with, most on the East Coast.

[intrepid_girl_reporter]

We're not the biggest paper in New York but we have impressive numbers for circulation.

[azure_intellect]

Ah, yes. New York is a town I'm very familiar with.

[But if memory served, didn't the New York Chronicle go out of business in 1967?]

So, Ms. Perkins, what do you specialize in? Are you world news, politics, possibly headlining?

[intrepid_girl_reporter]

Makes sense, you look the New York type. [Meaning of course that New York welcomed everyone, it only grumbled about it under it's breath afterward. Welcome to the Big Apple, just avoid the rotten core.]

I specialize in front page news, the stories other reporters are too scared or too dumb to go after. My by line runs by more news print than Saks Fifth Avenue ads. Politics, scandal, science, war, technology, medicine, world events...you name it and Polly Perkins is there.
