[tagging Kate]

"Well, holy shit." The sentiment is understated, but there's a slight emphasis to convey that this is, to the speaker, an unusual circumstance.

Some sort of flying guy (who's not dead) and a girl walking around looking like some crazy version of Robin Hood. In New York of the Walking Murderplants.

Well, she felt right at home already with that kind of greeting.

Raised eyebrow at her, "Yeah?"

"You're definitely dressed for the occasion. Did you guys... Did you come from outside?"

nothawkingbird July 15 2008, 22:20:19 UTC

"Outside the city, yeah. Came in from Kansas, we're both from different versions of New York. I wanted to see how this version of my home is."

She shrugged, "I'm used to being prepared."

"Different 'versions'?"

It'd sound crazy, only...

"Listen, let's leave off until we get underground, okay?" She nods toward the nearest subway station.

"Long story, and sure." Kate immediately went to follow. It came in handy for traveling back home to keep undercover.

"They don't come down hoof!" She jostles against a railing, glaring at a large, meaty mass of mottled grey waddling through the space next to her. Then sighs.

"They don't come down here. Too dark." Even with the (somewhat intact) fluorescent lighting.

Kate immediately moved closer to assist, "You ok? And sure, be harder for any plants down here."

notvitiligo July 15 2008, 22:58:44 UTC

"Fine," she replies before Kate's even finished talking.

"Yeah. Nice for us that aren't ninja warriors or whatever."

She heads past the turnstiles, occasionally walking around a figure in empty space.

"You don't know anything about that castle, do you?"

nothawkingbird July 15 2008, 23:07:23 UTC

"I'm not a ninja, I'm a superhero. We're more obvious, and aren't assassins."

Kate tilted her head, wondering a little about that, and then shook her head, "No, first time I've ever seen it. Nathan was telling me that it showed up recently?"

notvitiligo July 15 2008, 23:10:49 UTC

"Whatever you wanna call it, you're not the only one here. I think I'm the only useless one here, other'n that little brat."

She slips onto a turnstile to sit. "I guess. I was making a run one day, and there it was. I don't think I wanna risk going inside, anyway. I at least have maps for the tunnels here."

nothawkingbird July 15 2008, 23:16:56 UTC

"Who... And I doubt you're useless, don't put yourself down like that."

Kate considered, "Yeah, but it looks like it would be a safe place to stay. Structure seemed sound, and probably hold up to even a major siege."

notvitiligo July 15 2008, 23:22:27 UTC

"Well, compared to... coupla wizards, this guy with grazy armor, the ninja woman... and that lizard thing. I mean, they go against the plants and live. Me, I just run and hide."

Kicking a leg idly, she adds, "This place is pretty decent. Especially with the power. And running water. Only thing down here that anyone needs to worry about is the third rail. We don't know what's in the castle."

nothawkingbird July 15 2008, 23:33:39 UTC

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with running and hiding. Trust me. You still survive."

Kate considered, "Nobody's tried to get in and scout it out?"

notvitiligo July 15 2008, 23:35:10 UTC

"Hell if I know. Like anyone ever says anything to me."

Clearing her throat awkwardly, she adds, "I'm Jessica."

nothawkingbird July 15 2008, 23:37:53 UTC

"Well, don't you think somebody should? And nice to meet you, I'm Kate."
