voice ;

[ the captured voice is brisk and to the point. ]

Anyone here know anything about sewing? I have a—suit. It needs altering. It's got a bunch of metal parts too. Don't know if that'll affect anything. [ and a lot of uncovered parts. hence the need for altering. ] We can negotiate a price.

[ a little pause where she seems to debate leaving it there. it's a long shot, but... ]

Is there a record kept of transports? Or a way of knowing who has ever been here?

[ another pause. ]

Thanks.

I'm more familiar with things like body armour than straight up metal, but depending on what the parts are like, I can probably manage it all.

[Or she can just wrangle Atlas into helping, if more serious metal work is needed, she doubts he'd mind.]

'Kay. [She considers asking a bunch more questions, but, no, actually just seeing it would be best.] If you're in the Transport housing I can drop 'round in a couple minutes, or you can come to me if that's easier?

[She sounds casual enough, even if she's mostly concerned about which option will make Sweet Pea more comfortable, rather than which one is easier.]
controlledvariable: (civvies -- this isn't going as planned)

One-oh-four, right down the bottom. [a beat] Don't mind the cranky Australian if she gets to the door before I do.

[She loves Ellie, but still.]
controlledvariable: (civvies -- I'm only a little amused)

[Steph huffs a quiet laugh in response. Maybe they could swap Jim for Helena.]

Just the Aussie. There's a flirty American as well, but he's out at the moment, and he usually stops if you smack him hard enough.

Oh, sorry! [More than a little sheepishly; she's so great at introductions.] I'm Steph, the other one's Ellie. I'll see you in ten.

[No but really she's just going to tell Ellie to leave the door alone to save anyone having to deal with The Surliest Australian.]

[Steph opens the door with a smile and a little wave, holding the door open so that Sweet Pea can come in if she wants.]

Hey. [From the bedroom, there's a muffled don't believe anything she tells you! but Ellie apparently isn't going to grace them with her presence. Or maybe she's tied up in there. We'll never know.] Can I get you anything? It shouldn't take me long to figure out whether I can handle the metal work, and you can walk me through what you want.
controlledvariable: (PB >> you gotta try a little harder)

The one and only, at least amongst the Transports. [Stephanie pls.

But she grins at the comment about hot chocolate.]
It's an old family recipe. [a beat] Not my family, but still.

[Technically the Pennyworth family, and it's really not the same without the 80% cocoa chocolate that Alfred uses, but it's still pretty good.] Take a seat and I'll get some started.

[As she leads the way into the kitchen.

Apparently someone is in a good mood. The reason for it is probably the girlfriend who's still chilling in the bedroom.]
controlledvariable: (Batgirl -- maybe it'd work)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-07-16 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[she can do zat]

No problem. [milk and chocolate and other vaguely fancy ingredients are set to cook on the stove before Steph takes a seat across from Sweet Pea.] May I?

[with a nod to the bag; even if that's why the other girl is here, it still feels rude to just start rifling through someone else's bag.]
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- judging you so hard)

[Steph's eyebrows go up, curious at whatever it is that's inspiring that sort of reaction, so maybe she's taking the clothes out a little more quickly than she might otherwise.

Her curiosity gives way to a wry expression, looking up at Sweet Pea for a moment before she finishes her inspection. First, and carefully, she sets the pauldron on the table, checking it for any damage, because that would be something a little beyond her.

The rest of the outfit isn't... terrible (she's seen a lot worse) but her main concern is how little protection it offers in combat situations.]


Are you a meta? [a beat, as she rememebrs that not everyone is familiar with that term] I mean-- do you have powers or anything? 'Cause this is all well and good if you're invulnerable, but if you're just a baseline human you're gonna need a hell of a lot more protection.

[More than just some altering.

Steph would rather start completely from scratch on something like this.]

Nah, but my best friend's an alien with superpowers. [With a grin, before she lays out the outfit on the table, to get a proper look at it.] Did you have anything in mind for what you want?

[And with that Steph gets up again, moving back to the stove and the cocoa, though she's still facing Sweet Pea, waiting for her answer.]
controlledvariable: (Batgirl -- did I break it?)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-07-30 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[... Fair.

Give her a second while she pours the cocoa into two mugs, setting them both down on the table before going to grab a sketchbook and a pencil.

It's only a few seconds before she's seated again, opening to a blank page.]


I like the tunic, but I think it'd work better as a jacket over something a bit more protective. Do you wanna stick with the black colour scheme or branch out a little?

[She's just going to do a rough sketch of a basic black bodysuit with the tunic over the top, though she's changing the front of it to a zipper so that it'll come on and off more easily, giving it two sleeves instead of one, and adding more fabric to the bottom half so that the back can be laced up without losing the way it sits near the figure's legs.]
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- this is awkward)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-07-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That's... not quite what she expected, but Steph nods anyway.]

I did a similar thing with my suit, and it's work pretty well for me. [Trying to be a little reassuring.] Do you have any other weapons you want to keep on you?

[Since she can incorporate holsters and such into the design.]
controlledvariable: (Batgirl -- maybe it'd work)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-07-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Gurl you're worrying.]

Yeah, but -- Do you want to holsters or anything as part of the outfit, 'cause I can work them in easily enough?
