61 - Video - Bad luck

[ichoosefight]

[ Obviously all of these messages were meant to be audio, because at the moment Steph is changing clothes. Into her batsuit. Let the record show that her bra does not have any bats on it. Her underwear is all up in your faces. ]

[ Private to Elle ]

Hey! Howie sent me. Long story short, I'm on your side and our mission is to keep Sveta alive. And preferably everyone else, but that might be a touch difficult.

[ Private to Dally ]

Inmate of mine! Fallen down any stairs today? Just check in, if you don't mind. I think I'm a few good falls from a broken ankle.

[ Public ]

Okay, so I know it seems bad now, but look on the bright side! I don't think anybody's died. With all the people falling down stairs and burning themselves on the stove, we have yet to have a casualty that I know of.

[ Private to Friends ]

How many times do you think you can fall out of, off of, or over things before you break something? Just so I can keep count.

[ Steph and Gravity already had a long-standing rivalry. Bad luck just makes it comically bad. ]

Steph. We can see you.

You... can... [ paaauuuuuse. Look down at self. Blush. Smother communicator with a pillow that immediately falls of. Continue to dress even faster. ]

Ohmygodwhydidn'tsomebodysaysomething! How long has the video been on? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

[ Trip over something on the floor. Fall out of view. Commence cursing. ]

How much did you see!?

[restoringhonor]

Nothing! Sorry! I don't know why nobody said anything!

[ And finally she's back, rubbing her nose and fully clothed over her batsuit. ]

Right answer, buster.

[restoringhonor]

[Long suffering sigh, dear GOD this is awkward.]

Sorry.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Just. [ Cough. ] This never happened.

Except for the falling all over myself, that's been happening a lot.

[restoringhonor]

Yeah. I noticed. Are you alright?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fine. I should just probably stay away from stairs. Gravity and I don't exactly get along.

[restoringhonor]

I don't think anyone's getting along with it right now.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It's got a special grudge, just for me. Goes back years, to the day it first tried to squash me on the concrete...

[restoringhonor]

... What?

[ SHRUG. ] I like high places.

[restoringhonor]

Right.
