So... Hi.

[ man it's tricky starting these things, isn't it? well, it wasn't the first time. but that was before she turned into a manic not-zombie for about a week, so. eh. anyway! she's not sick anymore, but she still looks a little worse for wear. she sounds tired, voice rough from screaming once she really started to lose it. she almost only went on voice instead, but she's not really the type to hide. even if the right side of her face is marked up still, dark scars of long scratches she gave herself while she was sick, trying to get the buzzing noise in her head to stop. the nanites might've amped her body's ability to heal, but traces of the Flare aren't completely gone just yet. STILL.

Rachel's been stuck in bed for too long, and if she can offer something helpful? she's going to do it. and no she's not thinking of the long-term, but she probably is going to leave the offer open for more than just this. compensation? what's that? ]

I know everybody's busy cleaning up and getting things back to normal, and I'm not, um, there yet with the being able to help thing, so... I thought I'd offer something I can do. [ taptaptaptap her fingers drum on the flat of her sketchbook, off screen ] The Porter, or whatever, gave me the power of being able to pull the things I draw off the page and make them real. Only stuff, and food, not animals or anything too complex, but. If anybody got reckless while they were sick, like I did, I guess I'm just offering to replace anything that might've gotten broken or destroyed because of all this.

Or- anything, I don't know. Clothes, food, supplies for rebuilding. Pretty much anything. I'd just like to help. [ she pulls on a grin, her hand moving up to absently scratch her face but aaaah no nope not doing that ] Just let me know, yeah? I was thinking about heading to the park later on, so I can meet people there, or- Wherever. Just let me know.

No-! What have I done? What have I done?!

[ she yelps and laughs as she continues trying to stretch herself further away from him, pretending to scramble for her notebook ]

Nine hundred Tic Tacs, coming right up-!

[Then there's a strong breeze and Kid is gone; the pages of her sketchbook haven't even stopped flapping before he's back, grinning cheekily and tossing a little box of Tic Tacs up and down before popping it open and crunching on a few.] Beat you to it.

Oh, well, check you out, Mr. Speedster.

[ she drops her pencil, hands moving up to complete her look of "oh we're all soooOOooOooOoOoOo impressed". but then she's just kinda watching him, and it's- it probably should be weird hanging out with somebody wearing a very yellow superhero costume. and a mask. like a half-mask thing. but somehow it's not? eh. she'll think about her life choices later.

for now she's just narrowing her eyes, like she's been observing him for a very particular reason ]

Are you- Did you just chew a bunch of Tic Tacs? All at once? I don't know if I can trust a guy that willingly chews on peppermint Tic Tacs. [ she leans in a little closer, eyes narrowing all the more, voice a ( silly, it's silly ) whisper. like she's trying to sound like Clint Eastwood or something. ] Are you some kinda- [ dramatic pause ] crazyperson?

[KF crunches on a few more and flashes her what he thinks is a winning grin. The midwestern accent he uses is a liiiittle too good to be anything but learned from birth.] I don't know nothin' 'bout crazy folk, little lady, but I can assure you I am not one of 'em.

[ she breaks character pretty quick, her lips buzzing in that "pbbt!" way that happens when you weren't expecting to laugh so suddenly. she sits back again then, shifts around even though she's still just kinda curled up on the bench. ]

Yeah, I ain't buyin' it. You're a bonafide crazyperson. [ she's not really putting on a voice anymore, and her attention is up on the sky, apparently, as she lets her head tip back and leans back on the bench ] That's okay though, I happen to like crazy.

[O-oh.]

Uhhh, how much do you like crazy? [Wary instead of the usual eager, just because...........he has no idea where he stands with Artemis and this girl is...awesome (SHE MAKES FOOD AND SHE LAUGHED AT HIS DUMB JOKES) and under any other circumstances he'd have asked her out like four times by now but like...he really likes Artemis and he doesn't want to do anything shitty if they're going out? Or were they just macking on each other because it was New Years'? DAMN IT WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE TALKED BEFORE HE VANISHED.]

Oh, so much. I'm obsessed with it. Ob-sessed. [ her voice isn't completely deadpan, but it's close. and when she sits up to look at him properly again, her eyes are wide, all fake earnest ..ness ] We're in love now, didn't you know? That sandwich was my proposal and you accepted it. That's how much I like crazy.

[ she nodnodnodnodnods like this is all very serious

but she's quick to give him an "oh pls" look soon after ]

Relax, you're fine. You're cute, but I just meant in a.. what I look for in a friendship way. I like crazy.

Ohhh-kayyy okay okay. I get it, I get it. [KF sighs loudly and rolls his eyes so hard he probably pulls something.] I'm just- I dunno if I have a girlfriend and I'm trying not to flirt just in case I do so I'm not that kinda guy.

You don't know if you have a girlfriend.

[ that should probably be phrased more like a question, but it just isn't ]

I don't! -Don't look at me like that, it's not my fault! I got grabbed back here before we had a chance to talk about it. I mean, lots of people kiss on New Year's. [except he...really hopes they ARE going out. When did he go from not liking Artemis at all to wanting to hold her hand all the time?]

Alright, alright. So... you want her to be her boyfriend, you're just not sure if a New Years kiss means you actually are. [ she leans back against the bench again, heels bumping against the grass in front of her as she stretches her legs. she's slouched down enough that her head can just rest on top of the back of the bench, butt off the seat, but she's comfy so whatever ] Have you talked about it at all? Before the kissing, I mean.

Not...really. Kinda sorta. Um, I dunno if it counts, we had amnesia at the time, so. [KF rubs the back of his neck.] And it wasn't really like talking about it, but like...I dunno. Gaaah, it's really complicated! No, we haven't talked about it.

[ it's a little refreshing to meet someone that babbles just as much as she does. ]

Hey, I'm not judging. --I mean I was a little bit, but now I get it. Complicated with a side of amnesia doesn't exactly get any easier after you get blipped to a place like this out of nowhere. If someone comes over here and tries to get all up on your spandex, I'll let them know you're unavailable, so you don't have to worry about trying to explain anything. [ she's grinning even as her eyes shut, like she's about to take a happy cat nap. she won't, but it's an option ok ] No need to thank me!

[oh man just wait until he really gets going the two of you can go nuts with it]

Wow but I'm gonna do it anyway: thank you so much, defending my honor like that. Y'know, [and now KF sounds like the sweetest darlingest southern belle there ever was, even crosses his legs] I was gettin' all worried 'bout that. These men 'round these parts, they're just savage, I swear! Girl can't even walk down the street without gatherin' unwarranted affections, if y'understand my meanin'.
