[ Sam is wearing one hell of a grin as he makes sure his video is steady. He backs up, and in view behind him is a small pick-up truck with a high cap over the bed. It may have once been powder-blue, but those days are clearly well behind it.

But hey, it has tires. Honest to god tires. ]

It was hard enough findin' one that doesn't hover, but throw stick-shift in the mix and you'd think I was askin' to buy the first printing press. [ his grin widens. ] Hell, I feel like a hunter showin' off a trophy.

But bein' able to avoid public transportation? Or just go campin'? That's priceless.

She's gonna need a name though, for good luck. [ Sam levels a playfully serious look on the camera. ] Can't go drivin' a cursed truck. So, any suggestions?

Absolutely. In both cases. I have it on good authority that he will be hosting a fundraiser at the Hotel Castile.

Is this your way of saying I should drop by?

[ She's not so sure she should do it as Power Girl... Karen Starr, maybe. ]

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Yes, in fact -- I think that would be quite splendid. You do provide good company.

private

[boobwindow]

I'm not sure it would be appropriate.

[ Not that she thinks she really has any kind of influence on that level, but ... just in case. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh? Why not?

You don't think a superhero showing up to one particular candidate's fundraiser isn't some kind of unconscious — or I suppose in this case — conscious choice?

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Unless you outright publicly endorse him, you're only staying politically involved.

private

[boobwindow]

I'll consider it.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Fantastic. I'm proud of you, Power Girl.

private

[boobwindow]

Don't do that. [ She rolls her eyes and shudders. ] It's patronizing.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Would you prefer my praise and acknowledgement in card form?

private

[boobwindow]

It's like you want a boot up there.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

... I am going to drop the subject, then.

private

[boobwindow]

Good boy.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

So you're allowed to patronize, is that it?

private

[boobwindow]

Let's call it even this time, Doc.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Fair enough.

Thank you again for checking in on me, Power Girl.
