( Today, Franziska is filming from an odd location for a wannabe-prosecutor. She is, in fact, perched about four feet up a tree in a Heropa park, precariously positioned on a fortunately positioned branch. Her ever-present riding crop is by her side, its handle enclosed in one tight fist. )

All right, so I've been here for almost two months already, and there's something that I've been wondering. If one comes from a world where superpowers are non-existent, what is the best way to activate one's new powers here? I've heard everything from 'close your eyes and wish it' to having an accident, to 'it comes with time'. Well, I've been waiting and I've been trying very hard.

( She frowns, kicking her legs into the air. ) Yet, I still cannot fly. If anyone has experience with activating such powers, or any knowledge of flying, I would welcome your advice.

( This would be the perfect place for something along the lines of 'thanks in advance', but Franziska doesn't offer it. Instead, her scowl merely deepens before she turns the feed off. )

Doesn't mean I was volunteering myself.

You don't even know who I am.

Does it matter?

You tell me, chica. [ sigh. ]

...If you really can't find anyone else, then fine.

As long as you promise not to drop me, that's reassurance enough. ( A beat. ) Unless you think that would work.

All right. How about I come back to you in a week if no-one else volunteers?

How about I promise to catch you in case it doesn't work?

Sure. [ after a second because well, she should do this formally if she'll be helping out this girl. ] Just look up America Chavez.

Franziska von Karma. America... ( What an odd name, although she knows better than to say that aloud. )

That's good enough for me.

Good luck.

Thank you.

( This would usually be followed by some declaration about how she doesn't need luck, but considering their previous conversation, she's sure that the other woman will take it the wrong way. )
