There has to be some trick. I mean, Manuel's an empath, but I don't think he'd use his power like that - SOMEONE would have beaten the crap out of him for it. He's got that whole "foreign guy with the funny accent" thing going, maybe that's it.
Hey, he's going out for coffee with Marie-Ange this afternoon. Up for some covert surveillance?

I think its that he's the guy who wears sunglasses inside too.
Sure. A sneaky guy is me. But I don't think he's going out for coffee with Marie-Ange for like, dating things. She's dating Doug, and I mean, yeah, he's a dork, but he's a dork who does freaky kicky shit.
I was talking to Dr. McCoy about it last week. Apparently it's not all about the dating stuff, he says. I mean, I went out for coffee with Paige and did just fine talking. I don't know HOW, mind you, and there's nothing there in the dating type area (she's already got two boyfriends, remember?).
But even without his power, women seem to want to hang out with and talk to Manuel. Or apparently just jump his bones, and there has got to be some trick to it.
Hey, I told Dani I'd take her out for burgers to make up for her being such an irrational twit yesterday - I'll see if she'll settle for coffee. We will need disguises.
Okay. Yeah, coffee with Dani'd be cool. I promised her a backrub, cause apparantly my hands are like, warm or something. I dunno. Mutant freaky dog-boy strength, I guess. Healing thinger. I dunno. It gets me more food, I am so not complaining.
Hey. You're a genius. Why the hell am I hungry all the time again?
So what's the plan for making it so Manuel gets just his share of girls and no more and stops being like Suave Guy?
You promised Dani a backrub. Under normal circumstances I would question your ulterior motives.
See, it's like industrial espionage. When there's a rumor that, say, Chrysler's coming out with a new car, the folks from Ford are going to want to know what it is so they can build one just as good. Theft of trade secrets is a time-honored business tradition.
So if we find out what Manuel's secret is, we're free to make use of it ourselves. I mean, if it comes up.
Eh. She's Dani. Its like giving a backrub to my old babysitter or something.
So we ... watch him and figure out what his secret weapon is? What if its that he's Spanish? I mean, then we're f'ed.
It went pretty well. Ran around in the trees, scared the crap out of some deer, she went all Grr at it from the other side and then yay, fresh venison, yum.

If it's that he's Spanish? No, that's too easy. I've known too many Spaniards. Besides, I speak Spanish. It's not exactly the language of love, more like the language of cheap migrant labor. No, he's crafty - he knows how to talk to women and woo them, and his secrets shall be ours. He may have years of class and experience and breeding, but he's no super-genius.
Good deal - in fact, I think I'm going to go grab one of those sandwiches before PE. Venison's pretty good. Hey, wait a minute. She changes forms like Catseye does, right?
To: (Inspector Gadget) From: (Brain) Subject: OBPM
I think there's, like, a difference between Mexican and Spanish. I dunno, I only remember how to ask for the bathroom.
We should take notes. Or video! Hey, can that little PDA thing you have take video with sound?
And yeah, she changes into a wolf, but I wasn't looking. dude, that's just wrong. I mean, we were chasing deer. Sides, she does a half-girl-half-wolf thing so I think anything important would get covered up by fur. Mostly she was a wolf though.
Yeah, I can get video and sound. Hey, that would work. Like field data collection. We'll be like spies and stuff! Mr. Dayspring should give us extra credit.
Oh, of course. Very wrong. Very - what's the word Manuel uses? Not on. You'd never do such a thing.

On that note - how'd hunting with Rahne go?
