That didn't take long, did it?

[ Unsurprisingly, Kate sounds tired to some extent. What is surprising, to her at least, is that she isn't as tired as she had anticipated being after finally being cured of her mania. No longer are her words bursting with vigor, her voice tempered and quiet. ]

Something was bound to happen not too long after imPorts began to show up here again. [ A beat. ] Just like the City. I wonder what comes next.

[ There are footsteps in the background, padded and soft; not hers, for anyone with good ears. ]

The more things change, the more they stay the same, hm? A pessimistic expression, I'm aware. Maybe I need to change it up a little for my own pleasure. Familiarity is nice, but repetition gets boring quickly. [ Another pause. ] The fifties was known for its experimentation with culture and style.


[ PRIVATE to FELICIA HARDY, RICK BRADBURY & TROY BARNES ]

I owe you an apology.

[culver]

I don't know for you, but I have been thinking about getting one.

[gevurah]

Oh? What and where?

[ She's not opposed to it. Nill's old enough for that. ]

[culver]

[hold on let me choose.]

Would a bird be too cliche?

[gevurah]

They're popular for a reason.

[ She's actually toying with the idea of a blue bird tattoo. Because canon couldn't decide if she had it or not. ]

Where would you want it? I can look up a place for us and see how much they'll charge.

[culver]

That's true. Maybe on my wrist. Or my hip? I haven't really thought about where yet.

[gevurah]

Hips do tend to hurt more. You might want to go for the wrist with it being your first tattoo.

[culver]

That's good to know. I will think about it more.

[gevurah]

We can go together when you decide.

[culver]

I would like that. We can make a day of it.

[gevurah]

And get Chinese while we're at it.

You alright with needles and a bit of pain?

[culver]

Yes I think so.

[gevurah]

Okay. Some people get nervous their first time.

[culver]

I think I can handle it.

[gevurah]

I'm thinking of a bird now, too.

[culver]

I think a bird would be good for you.

[gevurah]

I'll keep thinking it over.

Consider whatever you get an extremely belated birthday gift. We didn't get a chance to celebrate, did we?

[culver]

We didn't. I think the apocalypse was a good reason to forget, though.

[gevurah]

Not many places to take a birthday girl.

Is there anything else you wanted to do?

[culver]

I've never been to a roller rink.

[i assume there is a roller rink somewhere]

[gevurah]

Seriously?

[ Not judgmental; she's stunned Nill's never been to one in the City. ]

We can do that.

[culver]

Then it's a date.

[gevurah]

Not letting anything come between it.
