90,27 - Fourth Wall Day Strikes Back
[ Video ]
[ The feed opens on a doll, two white eyes in a black face with a purple hood. A hand can be seen moving the arm so that the doll waves. ]
Hello, outside world! [ The comm falls over and Steph picks it up to show her whole face this time. She just got out of the infirmary, and she’s feeling a lot better now. Another day or so and she’ll be good as new. There’s just one problem. ]
I’m bored. I’ve decided, pool party for sure. I’d make it a gym party if I thought that wouldn’t be completely lame.
So who all is out there this time around? Anybody I know?

You recognize this golden, whiskered face, don'tcha? ]

How's Narnia?

It fairs well. Caspian has come into his own.
What of you?

It's good to know some things in this place are constant.

First you wear the Robin costume just like me, then you come back from the dead just like me. Does someone have a crush?
no subject
If crushing was responsible for all of my decisions I'd be questioning my sexuality. [ Not that she doesn't love Babs and Cass, just... not like that. ]
And technically I was never really dead.

Oh, it's sort of complicated, I'm probably still in Gotham right now even though I'm here on the barge. It's a space-time thing. [ You should be used to that by now, right? ]

So hey, how's stuff at home?

You know what they say. Early to bed, early to rise... something. Though I don't think they meant early in the morning when they made that saying.

Yeah, actually things are getting kind of serious. [ She fiddles with a piece of shoelace tied around her finger, a small smile on her face. ]
Assuming she can see it, if not, can edit. ^_~
perfecto ;3
He may have hinted about asking a certain question on our anniversary.
[ And by hinted she means he straight up told her, because they were playing truth or dare on Wonderland-drugs. ]
no subject
DETAILS!
[She refuses to let her jealousy show, because Steph deserves this, and she's genuinely happy to hear about it. It makes her miss Jesse more, but she was ready for that sad when this day finally came anyway.]
no subject
So Kon's having some trouble with his genetics being unstable, and we're working on it, so we've been talking about the future a lot. And we just took port in Wonderland to pick up some escapees, and the whole place had this weird effect on people. Like, it drove them crazy. So we got kinda goofy and were just messing around, and I asked what would make our anniversary perfect for him, and he said it would be perfect if I said yes.

If I wasn't so busy, I'd just post my icons in the tag! xD
pish posh, I can pretend x3
Anyway it's too early to be talking about this stuff. Tell me about how you've been?
no subject
Oh, and Mohinder recently found someone with a power we've never seen before, so that was kinda cool. He can turn people into animals, it's crazy.

Why, was there another animal flood, then, I take it?

[Private]
Hey, um...can I bug you about something?
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
Well. Which conversation do you want to have first?
private;
private;
[Here, she loses what composure she's kept, her voice breaking and eyes quickly welling up.] I thought we'd get married. He was always talking about kids and...[Claire shakes her head, unable to continue from crying.]
private;
You don't think he's ever coming back?
private;
I do, eventually. But we just thought it'd be easier to separate. I don't know, just in case or whatever, I guess. He told me not to wait around...that's why his cabin looks like our garage; he "moved out". Today, I was trying to be cute when I told him he has to come back inside the house, when he's home, but it just brought back the whole 'go find some awesome superhero boyfriend' and 'don't wait for me'. It's not that I'm waiting, I'm not, like, refusing to talk to other guys, but I miss Jesse. So much. I planned on being with him...now I have to consider that that plan might not happen now, and it just...sucks. Or what if he finds someone else on the Barge?
[She shakes her head.] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
private;
But, if you guys have talked this out already and you're still this unhappy... has he said he wants to come back? [ She's a little concerned Jesse might be using this as an 'out'. ]
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
[She bites her lip.]
No good will come from asking this, I know it, but it's called morbid curiosity for a reason; has...has he been with anyone else? Barge shenanigans aside.
private;
Are you sure you really want to know?
private;
[Claire has not been waiting for him, true, but she hasn't actively sought out another boyfriend, either. Again, marriage. Kind of hard to want someone else when you thought you found the final one.]
private;
private;
He's not with her still, is he?
private;
private;
.....
Okay, thanks, Stephanie.
[And then she changes the subject.]
What do you want your wedding theme to be? What colors?
private;
Would purple be too cheesy?
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
private;
Okay, that does sound like a pretty amazing cake.
private;
So. Do we want to end this on our own terms or just keep talking until we're cut off?
private;
[ Like when she left the first time. It's hard to say goodbye, but it's a whole lot better than not saying goodbye. ]
Keep an eye out for that pandimensional portal I'm working on.
private;
Claire nods, biting her lip to try and not sound so sad.]
Is this it, then? Are we saying goodbye now?
private;
I'll see you later, Claire.
private; - :C
[She blows two kisses and waves goodbye. And then the feed cuts off.]
Action.
Hey, sounds like the two of you are having fun.
Action.
It's Claire. Wanna say hi?
Action.
By the way, what's a maid of honor?
Action.
It's a wedding thing. Bridesmaids take care of the bride and the maid of honor is the one in charge.
Action.
I thought when people got married, they just went to the courthouse and got the license signed?
Action.
I thought you'd been reading up about this stuff.
Action.
Action.

Action.
What did you want to do?
Action.
When I was first started working at the cafeteria, one of the incentives for working there was being able to use the kitchen to make a special meal. I've been holding onto that reward and I want to cash it in now. What would you like for dinner?
Action.
Action.
[Kisses her cheek and then he kisses her on the corner of her mouth.]
Let's do that camping trip we always talk about doing in the CES room. It might only be for a night or two but it'll still be nice.
Action.
Action.
Action.
Action.
If you're back in good health and feeling up for doing all of those things, then I couldn't ask for a better anniversary gift.
Action.
Action.
Action.

Pulls back with a small sigh and smiles at her.]
Didn't you say something about me saying hi to Claire?
Action.

matching shrug icons. I love it
I'm just cool like that
I'm Stephanie. Are you from Gotham too?
no subject
[And there's respect there, now. It takes a lot to get out of Gotham without getting completely messed up, but it looks like Steph's done it. It kind of gives Artemis hope.]
It can be a tough place, but I like the birds and the bats. They keep things interesting.
no subject
I'd say they keep things liveable, but maybe that's just me.
no subject
Shit, man, how are you talkin' to me right now?
no subject
It's, um. Let's go with magic.
no subject
It ain't magic. What did you call me?
no subject
Dally? Sorry, I may have you confused with someone else.

Have you ever heard about the idea of parallel worlds?

We don't do a lot of partying around here.

I'm Batgirl these days. Talk about a promotion, right?
no subject
So is her surprise.]
Wow. Haven't seen one of those in ages. [She wondered what had happened, sometimes.] Batman finally accepted you into the club, huh? [Her tone is rueful, with the slightest hint of old resentment - but approving. It's about time.]

no subject
Good for you.
[A deeper smirk.] He might have been a little shocked to see me wearing his symbol, when he got back.
