exsilium | [video]

[ The video clicks in and Dinah is sitting comfortably inside some building, munching a hotdog. ]

Someone please tell me there are cheeseburgers in this watery hellhole. Mr. Pinkerman, I think I at least found a temporal alternative.

[ You just give her a moment to finish devouring the hot dog. Once she’s done, she’s ready to get down to business. ]

Oooookay, so I got the You’ve Been Chosen! Tour, saw the sights, got myself soaked wet and found the dirtiest, smelliest and cheapest hot dog stall that has ever been put in a corner. Exsilium, huh?

[ She shrugs, her tone casual, but those who know her might notice the tension in her shoulders and the sharpness in her eyes. ]

Sure beats Apokolips any given day in my list of worlds to suddenly get zapped into. I mean, if you can work out the plumbing issue… [ She points at the rain that can be seen in the window behind her. ] It would be great, really.

Anyway, I’m not much into whining. Name’s Dinah, Dinah Lance, and if you’ve seen a trigger happy…uh, blonde, do let me know. Babs, Helena, Zinda, if you’re hearing this, I’m starving, so be the friends you’re supposed to be and get me something to eat.

[Renee knows that feeling. There's a reason she's steered clear of Gotham, and it has as much to do with the good memories as the bad. Because she hasn't really moved on with her life, hasn't built something solid for herself. When she sees Kate sometimes all she can think about is how she's rarely felt happier than in her arms. How much she wants to go back.

And she can't do that. She's not ready, may never be ready, and she can't just keep bringing Kate into her life, only to leave her or lose her and have them both suffer that hurt again. Somewhere it has to stop.]

I...

[She'll what? Leave again? Find a new city, try and rebuild? There's no other cities apparently, nowhere to escape to. Is she going to spend her time here dodging her ex, avoiding any potential allies, staying off the network? Time to grow up Renee.

The stoicism in Kate's voice hurts, but she tries to channel it in her own. Can't create false hope]

Yes. We should. Your place or mine?

[ Too many people living in hers and with the chance Roslyn might drop by, she opts to avoid that scenario. God, how is she going to explain this to Ros? She'll figure it out later, she supposes. First thing's first. ]

Yours, if you're [ she catches herself before saying "home" ] alone right now.

[ Her heart beats like a jackhammer. Too fast, too nervous. She wants to see her and yet is already regretting saying anything, not giving herself time to steel herself. But they never get to have these reunions on their own terms, do they? ]

[ ooc: would you like to log this? since i feel bad spamming this post. :c ]

Just me and whatever passes for pigeons around here. Take the rooftops and you'll find me.

[Rarely does she feel such a mixture of joy and gut twisting dread as she does in this moment. She hates herself for being so happy just to see Kate again, but it's best to get the pain over with quickly.]

See you soon.

[OOC: Absolutely. I'll go set something up, please feel free to PM me if you'd like to include anything in the setup]

[ She opens her mouth to say something, but cuts the feed instead.

A part of her figured someday this would happen. ]

[ ooc: i'm good with whatever! i'll wait. ]

Well, you can tell a Transport apart from a Native pretty easy. We don't usually bite our own.

Aye aye, captain.

[ He's probably too young for her anyway. Too young meaning not older than her, because this is Dinah.

And so no commenting on the clothes and the stuff or anything. Dinah knows when not to pry. ]

Thanks. I'm going to be getting myself acquainted with this place pretty fast, so I probably won't need much. Which is exactly the way I like it.

I know, it's pretty interesting.

Technology is kinda crazy in my world, so I guess some people get to do all kinds of awesome stuff like that. I would rather stick to Earth though. I like it here.

Huh, at least the sense of humor is intact.

Find me at the entrance then? We'll coordinate our masks or whatever over a terrible hot dog then.

[ Dinah knows this isn't Vic. She's still not sure of what it means, or if she trusts this new Question, so obviously meeting her in person is the way to go. ]

What did we do to these guys, anyway?

And don't sugar coat it.

Humor's the best mask there is.

That's the sweetest offer a woman's made me in a long time. I'll meet you in a bit.

[She needs allies, and she was joining the Birds before she left, which makes Dinah a strong candidate for one. Besides, she'll need the hotdog after her talk with Kate]

I...suppose I'd never thought about it that way. I always just wanted to go and see everything. Even if it was awful.

I should've known you guys were gonna be next. They were crazy not to start with the League from the beginning.

[ said some beaming twelve year old in a domino mask. ]

I think just showing up is enough of a problem to the natives. We're not from here and we're taking their resources. We're also part of a war effort, so I don't think that puts anyone at ease either.

He's one of those, actually.

[SPACE CAPTAIN.

Becase look okay as much as she will antagonize the fuck out of Jim, she still thinks it's pretty damn cool that he's captain of a spaceship.]

I figured you'll adapt pretty fast, Babs and Helena did. [Steph... sort of did, but mostly by kind of holding herself apart from everyone.] But if you need any clothes tailored or anything, I'm your girl.

[In case the sewing machine and projects didn't give that away.]
