Gotham University, New Gotham City, Tuesday

Dinah had sent Raven a text that she'd be on-campus this afternoon, and was hanging out waiting for her first class of the semester to start ("Political Terrorism: What We've Learned Since No Man's Land").

Hmm, another global text:

Add/Drop 'A History of Vigilantes' ? Depressing, uplifting? Or add 'Prisons and Asylums: Where Arkham is Failing'?

So what was a girl to do on a slow night on patrol except do her reading for class while hanging out in a graveyard, really? Take a moment to send a text message, that was what.

Someone tell me again why I thought it was a good idea to pick a major with a molecular bio prereq?

Not that this was the class reading Kennedy was doing at the moment; it sort of had to take a backseat to her Portuguese homework. It was a convenient thing to complain about, though.

[blondecanary]

Dinah's thumbs were flying.

Aaack. Molecular anything. What the heck is a prereq to? Taking a sip of her mocha, Dinah added, How's the demon-slaying?

[brat_inslayage]

Phys Ed teaching degree. Hey, useful and convenient to the whole teaching-girls-to-fight gig. Kennedy squinted off into the distance; nope, just a passing stray cat. And Willow won't do my homework for me. Upside, the book makes a good weapon.

[blondecanary]

Cool! See, that was a job Dinah might be good at, if the whole private eye thing didn't pan out. And she shouldn't, but I'd have asked her too. When are you gonna need that in your job? Either job. Seriously!

[brat_inslayage]

It was a few minutes before Kennedy replied; she'd pocketed her phone to put her Portuguese textbook in her backpack, pick up her stake, and circle around to a different part of the graveyard.

Hell if I know. You could probably just about hear her whining. I'm in charge of training girls to fight. Do I really have to know how the science stuff works?

[blondecanary]

Not unless you have to rescue someone from a mad scientist... oh wait. That was a little more likely than would usually be true. But then, that's what you have Willow for? It's what I have Barbara for, jeez.

[brat_inslayage]

Yeah, the mad scientist thing? Totally not out of the realm of possibility.

That's what I tried to tell her! She thinks I should still learn it because it's, and I quote, "really nifty."

A moment, then a second message:

I'm dating the world's biggest most adorable nerd.

God help them all if Willow and Barbara ever got in touch.

[blondecanary]

The geekgasm would be visible from space.

Nifty! Nifty. You're dating a girl who says 'nifty.' Dinah couldn't let that go un-commented on. THAT IS KEEN.

Okay, so, just signed up for the vigilantes. Can always drop if it's pointless. Got Soc, "Sex and Crime" and History of Asia. And Stats. AGAIN.

They were enemies.

[brat_inslayage]

It would be epic.

But more relevant at the moment:

YOU HAVE A CLASS ON VIGILANTES? UNFAIR.

[blondecanary]

An implosion of technobabble from hyper-brained redheads. Terrifying.

I DO. For once it's unfair in my direction, though! WOO.

Can't believe junior year is happening already. Graduation in a year and a half!

Also, you have to come here and fight crime.

[brat_inslayage]

Yeah, one hot geeky redhead was all Kennedy could handle.

Okay, no. Time needs to stop moving so fast. She paused, mid-text, and tried to translate that into Portuguese. Tried. It didn't go so well. Maybe on spring break, assuming no unforeseen world-endy?

Which would be fall break for you, I guess. The seasons are confusing me.

[blondecanary]

That would be cool. Oh wait, when is it there? It's September 4 here. Dinah had totally lost track by this point. Also assuming no Fandom extra-weird. Hey, Priestly's going to be working on-island!

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy had found herself a convenient crypt to perch on and go back to her studying by this point.

September 4 here, too. Time stopped doing the wacky, I think. Which was good, because math? Still not Kennedy's strong point. Is he? Cool. Next time I drop in I'll have to say hi.

[blondecanary]

Finally! Dinah punched the air, got herself a couple weird looks, and ignored them. So yeah, Spring or Fall break, whatever works out better. Or meet up in Fandom and compare notes... how're the new kids whipping into shape?

[brat_inslayage]

What, the kids in Fandom? Tiny, but they'll be fine. Kennedy grinned at her phone screen. Unless you mean my newbie Slayers. That's going a little less well.

[blondecanary]

Either/or. Yay Fandom kids, still resilient... what's up with the newbie Slayers?
