[canaria]

[Sara (who does not remember her previous time here, and has only been here this time for just under 48 hours by now) is, quite literally, hanging out. The image on this video transmission to the network shows Sara's head and neck. She's obviously hanging upside down, because of the way her hair is being blown in the breeze outside, and the way the hair is positioned since it's being pulled by gravity.

Though it can't be seen, she's on a tree branch, her legs wrapped around it and one hand holding onto the branch while the other hand holds her device. She's also wearing jeans, black boots, a black t-shirt, and a white jacket.]

After being here for going on forty-eight hours now, I have to ask -- how many people who have heard of Star City are also here? I have apparently found myself world-hopping now, which ... okay, before I got here, I was about to start going time travelling.

[She says that last part in a tone that could be mistaken for sarcasm if someone wanted to interpret it that way instead of taking it seriously.]

Secondly, despite being new here, I'm already well into my mission to find the best pizza in this place, with no luck so far, so please help a woman out and advise me.

[Pizza is important, okay? She has priorities.]

[ Did he -- talk to this woman? He vaguely remembers something about that, but it doesn't look like she'd remember anyway. This place is weird. ]

You're from Star City? Never been, but it exists in my world at least. I'm from Central City. Sorta, been a while.

[canaria]

Yep, I am! Though I kind of, uh, went on an "extended vacation" from there once. [Got shipwrecked, stuck on an island, and recruited into the League of Assassins. You know, normal stuff. Totally Normal Stuff.]

And I know Central City. Been a while as in you've been here a while? [Or maybe he left while he was still in his world and never went back. Who knows.]

[pyrogue]

Both. Left Central after... [ He reformed, made friends with the Flash and then the Flash went and died and then later HE died. So yes, totally Normal Stuff. ] ...some stuff happened. Lived abroad for a couple years, Metropolis for a bit. Was in Chicago when I got imported last year. Weird how Chicago exists here but everywhere else I've ever lived is a no go. What's so special about Chicago?

Hey, sexy. Remember me?

[Splish, Splash, Axel's in a bath. Yo, he remembers her! The sexy chick in the bath. And, well, he feels a little like rehashing their first meeting. A playful homage to make himself above the rest of these boring dudes. You know, revisiting old times and all that. He's such a romantic.

Besides, he's hoping it'll give her a sort open invitation. Hence why he's using his best bedroom eyes... while squeaking his rubber duckie. Cause. You know. It's a bath, dude, what else is he gonna do?

This might all be more effective if he wasn't full dressed in the bath but oh well. It was a spontaneous moment of passion.] I make a damn good pizza. What's say you come on over, wash my back and I'll whip you up some Italian magic.

oh my god, *I* laughed really hard reading this though

[canaria]

[She would probably laugh if she did remember. RIP bathtub post memories. Too bad she wasn't as creative this time around.]

Nnnno, I don't remember. Sorry. [Even though her facial expressions look weird right now due to her hanging upside down, she still raises an eyebrow slightly. Should she remember? Were they like bffs here or something?]

Honestly, I'm more curious why you're fully dressed in a bathtub with a rubber duck. I have so many questions.

[SO. MANY.]

He is the most mature and adult of all

[lovestoys]

You don't remember? Aww, baby, don't tell me you forgot this pretty face?

[Though this could work to his advantage. What are the odds that she'd believe he was her boyfriend before she left? Was it wrong to exploit former memories that way? Well, for now, he's just going to play it lowkey.

The Axel version of lowkey.]

We had such a bond, you have no idea. This was our thing, you get me. Bath time. [He nods suggestively.] Also, come on, it's a bath. Of course I have a rubber duck. You can have a bath without a rubber duck.

That'd just be silly. [Says the guy in a bath fully clothed.]

[Before even commenting, he's already talked to Mick about her, which should have helped psych him up for this. Turns out, it doesn't actually make much of a difference. She's only met him once and knows him by reputation and, on the other hand, she has become one of the most important people for him.

It hurts to know that there isn't a chance that there relationship here could be anything like it has been and he's not really about to try for a rehash. Circumstances are too different.]

Couple of people from our world here. Mostly Central.

[Her sister, but he figures Laurel can speak for herself.]

Depends, with the pizza. What city are you in?

[canaria]

Central City must be popular here. Close enough, I guess, yeah?

Also - I'm in Maurtia Falls.

[Same city as last time she was here.]

[catchacold]

It's my city, so I'm not knocking it. Porter has taste.

Good to know. I'm in Heropa.

[Mostly, right now, he's at a loss and needs longer than necessary to reply, because he's busy staring at nothing much.]

Say when you need something.

audio

[devoutish]

Are you hanging off a bar, or have you got floating powers?

[This is clearly the most important thing to address here, since Alfie has never heard of Star City and also doesn't really like pizza.]

[canaria]

Tree branch, actually.

[Though he's on audio, she's still replying in video so that she can move the device to point for a second or two at the branch where her legs are hanging from, and an arm studying herself more.]

Floating powers would be pretty freakin' cool, though.

video;

[heckblazer]

Fish and chips is better for you, y'know.

[ And this next part he adds under his breath. The screen blurs while he fumbles with the device, assuming his feed is already shut off: ]

bloody showoffs.

[canaria]

Well, clearly you've never had a good pizza. [That tone is one that's 100% a fake offended tone.] When I find one, I'll pass along the info. Pizza's part of a well balanced died.

[Balanced. You know, like she's doing at the moment -- yeah, now she's just making intentionally shitty jokes.

Although, she does laugh a bit at the quieter comment.]

If I wanted to show off, I would be jumping from rooftop to rooftop while broadcasting. This is just hanging out on a tree branch, be-leaf it or not. [And there's two more. Or maybe one and a half. How many shitty jokes can she fit in?]

private, text.

[ewenique]

You may need to set stricter parameters for finding good pizza. Potentially screen the responses based on the reliability of the sources and account for subjectivity.

[canaria]

[her response is also locked.]

well, yes, good point.
I mean, at this point, not tasting like cardboard or like old school lunch pizza is a definite plus.

( text )

[classification]

[ Never a conversation he imagined having, but. Here we are. ]

The "best" is mostly subjective. It depends on type and location—of not just where you are but where it is styled after, as well.

[ Not that he has particularly strong feelings about pizza. He just likes being organized and knows A Lot about businesses in the imPort cities. ]

[canaria]

True, it is. But, better to get a variety of recommendations and filter out from there, yeah?

Video

[foreshadower]

Fond of Star City, are you? Sadly, there is no such place here, but many of us have some...version of it, where we're from.

Personally, I've been there many times. [ A pause. They had a similar conversation with the last Sara, but... he won't point that out. ]

But why on Earth would you be looking for pizza? Couldn't you choose a better -- or less cliched -- dish to look out for?

[ Gross. ]

[canaria]

From there, yeah. Good to know it's not completely lost on everyone's memories, I guess.

I'm craving a good cliche as of late. Kinda like craving even worse junk food that you shouldn't eat. [Not that pizza is... especially healthy. Hence why she said "worse".]

video;

[cleptes]

[She's lovely. Stunning, even. With a nice voice.]

I've heard of Star City. Through someone else though, not because I come from there. [read: Snart.] Afraid I can't help you with your pizza mission, but I do know of a couple of good bars.

[canaria]

[right back at you though, Bela.]

Yeah, it seems as though a lot of people here know of it and passed along the knowledge. More poplar than I anticipated. [A quick laugh.] But, ooh yes, I could go for a couple of bar recommendations too.

video;

[heliophilic]

There's a Star City back where I'm from, but I doubt it's the same place. It usually isn't.

As for the pizza, you're going to have to narrow it down to which city you're in.

[Pizza might not be his favorite, but he's still eaten a decent amount of it to make an appropriate recommendation.]

[canaria]

The multiverse is proving to be massive. [well, no shit, Sara?]

I'm in Maurtia Falls here.

[the_caped_crusader]

[Bruce is, as usual in these videos, sitting behind his desk at the top of Wayne Tower.]

As you can already tell, there are a few of us here familiar with Star City.

[A brief pause.]

You must be Sara. I had the chance to speak with your sister.

[canaria]

[To the first statement, she nods. Yes it does seem more familiar than she even expected.]

Yeah, I'm Sara -- Laurel is great; you're friends here? [Or maybe they spoke just actually once.]
