one; video reruns

[ strolling down streets as she talks, occasionally glancing around in interest, bright and cheerful. it's a sunny day, everything looks bright. ]

Not that I'm not flattered, and I mean, the job is great and all that. It's nice to know I have a way to support myself. But I think they got the wrong Gothamite. I can do computers, but I'm not really the hero type.

I'd say about how I was in the middle of stuff but that doesn't seem to be an actual concern to them.

Which is actually a little unsettling in people who want me to hero it up for them. And I've got to say, handing out powers to people you don't really know all that well yet and who just got sort of kidnapped? Not actually seeming like a bright idea from over here.

It's probably a long shot, but anyone know Terry McGinnis? [ just in case! you never know. ] Or know anything more than they've told us? It'd be nice to get more of the lay of the land.

[oh god oh no. it takes her a long time to respond. all she can do is watch the post and rewatch it. max doesn't remember, she can't. if she did, she'd make some quip about how similar this situation was to that in the city.

scathach breathes. she keeps her expression impassive when she finally turns the video on to reply.]


There isn't a Terry McGinnis here, to my knowledge.

[it is such a huge problem. scathach rarely gets physical urges, but right now all she wants is to hug max. but she knows she can't. it would be weird. instead: common pleasantries.]

You're welcome. Did you just arrive?

Just about a month. [she considers. this is so hard. but she can't just let max wander around like that. even in this 1950s town, it isn't safe. this is going to suck.]

I'm Scatty. If you have any questions, give me a call.

Besides the government's interest in registering us, not really.

[she fucked up she fucked up. keep it together. don't blush like that, it's embarrassing. social skills, scatty. you have those somewhere.] Just trying to neighborly, which seems to be a thing here.

It's optional.

It's-- [she stops abruptly. she doesn't know if she can do this. but she has to, for now. maybe it can be brought up later. but scatty isn't going to be the one to tell her. she doesn't trust herself.] --it's nice to meet you, Max.

That probably isn't a bad idea.

Yes. I didn't attend.

Any style you want.

I don't do well under scrutinization.

My doors are open to everyone.

Authority issues.

I'd look forward to it.
