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.

[gevurah]

What are you doing here?

[detriments]

[as if reciting from a paper:] State Tourism Advertising.

[gevurah]

Sounds fun.

[detriments]

I was enjoying being a PR before. But it's not so bad. Not so different from what I did before.

[gevurah]

How's tourism looking so far?

[detriments]

If I'm totally honest? [She smiles, almost diplomatic about it.] Their ideas are a little antiquated. They're glad I'm around to help.

[gevurah]

[ Curiously: ]

Are you sticking with it?

[detriments]

I think so. I know I'm counting on a promotion.

And what do you do?

[gevurah]

Job hunting.

[ Ha. ]

I think I may have found something.

[detriments]

Really. What are your areas of interest?

[gevurah]

[ Punching crime in the face. ]

I know how to fix up cars and bikes.

I'm good with my hands.

[detriments]

Not so usual for a woman.

[gevurah]

Why waste time taking it to shop when you can do it yourself? If it's not a major problem.

[detriments]

I have to admit I'm a bit of a cliché in that aspect. If there's someone I can hire to do it for me, and I can afford it? [well.]

[gevurah]

[ She can't take her Batwoman bike to a shop, unfortunately. ]

I like using my hands.

[ AS U KNOW HUEHUEUE ]

[detriments]

[BFBAGDHA]

I know who to hire next time, then.

[gevurah]

Let me learn how the hover bit works in this world and I'll gladly take the job.

[detriments]

I'm sure they'd happily give some kind of workshop to an import.

[gevurah]

One of my roommates got placed at a shop, so I'll be checking it out.

[detriments]

Oh? Is this roommate more technologically savvy?

[gevurah]

[ Good question. ]

He's learning his way around it.

[detriments]

A partner in your studies, then.

[gevurah]

Now it sounds like school.

[detriments]

[she laughs, lightly.]

Sorry.

[gevurah]

Anyway, I'll text you about dinner sometime soon?
