[Daphne is sitting on a low wall next to what seems to be a cafe. There's an empty plate next to her and she's swishing around some unidentified coffee drink in the bottom of her glass mug. It must be one of those nicer little places.]

So.

I guess this place does not suck as much as I thought.

Sure! Little cramped, and it sucks to be stuck on this

What an opinionated kid. I don't disagree, though.

[cagedbirdruns]

Who are you calling a kid?

[heartdissonance]

One, the name's Daphne. Two, how old are you?

[painhumbles]

Tell me, they at least give you a t-shirt when you sold your soul.

[cagedbirdruns]

What can I say, I'm a girl that goes for real estate.

[beat.]

And it's not like the rest of us can just make masterpiece theater come up out of nowhere.

[painhumbles]

They can't? Huh. I thought I was part of a collective. [Scoff] So. Which one of our corporate overlords did you saddle up with?

[cagedbirdruns]

You're certainly as opinionated as a Parisienne, but I'm detecting both a lack of class, taste and accent that suggests to me you're not one.

[cagedbirdruns]

Owch. Someone sounds grouchy.

You've got me on the accent, but give a girl a break, she's got to find work somewhere.

[hisdiscretion]

I'm not grouchy, I'm French.

[He's well-dressed. Giving off a faint glow.]

I'm sure you found a great job with that winning attitude of yours.

[And if she were any more of a brat in this moment, she'd be sticking out her tongue.]

Believe me, those two are not mutually exclusive.

and it's treated me just fine, thanks. How's the 'high and mighty' thing working for you?

"powers in-crowd" focused companies?

[cagedbirdruns]

There's just really no way to be "PC" and say 'I apparently have a calling in life working for the mad scientist set.'

Which was your alternate universe carry over? SERO exists, where you're from?

[cagedbirdruns]

Not really, but the company I worked for back home had...Similar interests.

From what I knew, anyway.
