So the caravan? Pretty cool. The co-ed showers? Seriously not cool.

Have we set up some block of time yet when the guys can use the showers, and another when the girls can? 'Cause we totally should. And if I catch any guys peeping, they'll have to deal with Batgirl's fist to their jaw.

YOUR MESSAGE: Hello wonderful roommate Steph. What is Batgirl? Are we sharing secrets?

I do not have a pinky. Is a normal swear alright? I made that same deal with Vanille.

[batbombshell]

Batgirl is my superhero identity. So if I make anyone mad by fighting crime, they won't know who I am and be able to hurt anyone I care about, y'know? And you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to, I just figured you'd see the costume and should know what's what.

Good enough! You're the best, Amaterasu.

[worthpraise]

That seems very sensible.

I have magic, to put it simply. I should not have to use it inside, but now you are aware of it. Also, do you mind animals?

[batbombshell]

Magic? That's so cool. Do you keep it a secret?

I LOVE animals, but like, warn me if you're planning on bringing a bear home for dinner or something.

[worthpraise]

Usually, no. I do not mind if people know. But how many would believe in the first place?

A bear? No. The bear would take my bed. No bears. But I've collected seeds for the birds and may feed others if we find them.

[batbombshell]

Considering that we're living on a giant caravan pulled by an ogre?

Aw, that's nice! I'm totally okay with birds. Really, I'm fine as long as I don't wake up next to something huge and fanged. If you ever need some help feeding the animals, let me know!

[worthpraise]

[ Oh, whatever. She's been dancing around the issue with everyone for long enough. Her roommate can know; she'd probably find out eventually anyway. She just doesn't want people making a fuss. ] True. But I am a goddess, and so belief matters greatly.

I am large and fanged. But yes, I will tell you. Gathering the food is the current problem.

[batbombshell]

A... goddess?

Seriously?

I'm rooming with a goddess?

...

THIS IS SO COOL, TELL ME WHAT IT'S LIKE if it's not breaking the godly rules or anything.

Yeah, but you seem really nice. I was thinking more like wild, non-typing, non-goddess animals. And I can help with that, too! Got lots of room in my utility belt, now that a lot of this stuff is probably kind of useless.

[worthpraise]

...That was simpler than expected. I... There are no rules, but I do not know how to describe it. What is it like being human? Even when my death and long sleep stripped me of my power, I could still call on the sun, for it is simply part of my being. As long as the sun hangs in the sky, as long as one person believes, I will watch over my land. That is being a goddess.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[batbombshell]

So you're a sun goddess? Sounds like a lot of responsibility. I gotta admit, putting on a costume and fighting crime seems kinda... silly compared to that.

[worthpraise]

I am. But do not feel that way. You work for justice; how can that be anything but good?

Come with me one morning. I'll paint a sunrise for you.

[batbombshell]

I guess you've got a point. I try, but it doesn't always turn out that way.

I'll plan on it!
