Poor Stephine. He understood what it was like not to have company. Until M'gann came into his life (and his house) it had been very lonely. And he was glad for her to be there, though they were not often in each other's company. It was simply enough to have her there. It was soothing. He hoped that he could do the same for the young woman, and her offer of food.

Even if he had no idea what yogurt was.

He knocked politely on the door, and waited, a package in his hands. He hadn't been able to find everything he wanted, but hopefully...matcha and green tea pound cakes would go with yogurt. Right?

[nobatbra]

Stephanie opened the door pretty enthusiastically. He would be her first visitor, now, with Cissie gone and her offer for hanging out out there-- so she was kind of excited to have the boredom stemmed. Plus an excuse to get rid of the extra yoghurt. And she could possibly get some information out of her visitors, anyway...

"Hey!" She greeted cheerfully, stepping out of the way so that he could come in.

[shyeyed]

It was nice to visit, and he was glad to come over-even if it was due to the food, being some sort of excuse. A little odd, but hey. If it meant he was getting to know her better, and getting some excerise, he wasn't about to say no.

"Hello!" He beamed at her, giving a small bow of greeting, before walking in. He was already untying his sandals with one hand.
"I'm Hanataro Yamada, pleased to meet you!"

[nobatbra]

Food was definitely a good enough reason to start getting to know someone, in Stephanie's opinion.

"Nice to meet you," she said cheerfully to Hanataro, "It's Stephanie, if you didn't catch it before. Stephanie Brown." She moved to take the package out of his hands, to help him out. "Let me put that up?"

Elizabeth arrived not long after she had spoken with Stephanie on the phone, though it did take her some time to navigate her way through the blasted fog that thickly blanketed the town. Fussing with her dress--damn these skirts, how used to trousers she had become--she approached the house and rapped upon the good lady's door, light knuckles a-knocking thrice.

[nobatbra]

Steph opened the door to see the pretty regal looking woman there, smiling brightly as she let her into her house, door open wide to invite her in. She was pretty excited for this opportunity, that was for sure-- it should be a good one, at any rate. "Hey," she greeted pleasantly. "Elizabeth, I presume?"

[nocorsetsplease]

"A-ah, yes! Have I reached the residence of one Stephanie?"

She could not help but return a smile at the welcoming grin of the hostess. At the wave, she stepped up into the house and minded her skirts. She felt a bit over dressed, considering the hostess was not even in--

What was it she was in? Trousers? By God!

This would either be most wonderful or entirely terrible.

[nobatbra]

"That's me," Stephanie said cheerfully, nodding as Elizabeth came in. She wasn't really aware of Elizabeth's shock at the way she was dressed, instead just looking over her herself. This woman was definitely one of good upbringing, she could tell that much, at least.

"Wasn't too much trouble finding the place?" she asked. The fog really sucked for that.

Mmm, yogurt.

Sure, he could've gone to the store buy some yogurt for himself. Easily. But it wasn't going to help him get more social, was it? He'd been spending a lot more time lurking about the library and looking around the buildings for any information he could find about Bell Pointe: books, newspapers, any sort of paper evidence of where (and when) they were. He'd even gone to the diner and felt around the walls for a trap door--there'd been a secret passage in the community center, so it wasn't like it was impossible for more secret passages to be around, was it?

It had been a fruitless search for the most part, in any case, and he felt like he needed a break. A yogurt break.

Jaime, who'd looked up Stephanie's address in the phonebook, strolled up to the house and rang the doorbell.

[nobatbra]

Steph had been doing similar sorts of things-- exploration, getting used to the feel of the town, and investigating. She was still pretty new, so she didn't have much, but she was working on it.

It never really hurt to be social, though.

She moved to get the door when she heard the doorbell ring, a brisk sort of pace. Visitors were pretty nice, when you were living on your own.

"Hey!" Steph greeted excitedly when she saw him at the door. "Come on in."

((ooc: this is a not very good tag. :|a))

SSH IT'S A FINE TAG. <3

[w_w_t_k_d]

Jaime faltered for a second before grinning back. There was something in the way she looked that was...undeniably familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the life of him.

...Maybe she just had one of those faces.

Yeah, that had to be it. He put it out of his mind for the moment and stepped inside.

"Thanks," he said. "And, um, pre-emptive thanks for the yogurt, too."

♥!

[nobatbra]

Steph could say basically the same of him-- if nothing else, his voice was pretty familiar. She may have met him before, or at least seen him around or something, and maybe she didn't remember him? Hey, as long as he wasn't a bad guy it was no big.

"Hey, no problem," she said, waving a hand as she closed the door behind him. "I aim to please, you know? And it's Steph-- Stephanie Brown. If you didn't catch it."

YEAH HEY LOOK REALLY LATE TAG TIME. WOOOOOHOOOO!

[morzzcode]

Her attempt at cooking had turned out...well, the less said about that the better, and so she arrived empty handed. But even if she didn't have something she could give, M'gann thought, she still really wanted to get to know her fellow residents, and what better way than sharing yogurt?

...well, there was a few, but at least she wasn't meeting her in the middle of a fight or while trying to save the world, which was how she had met most of her friends. She hadn't done well with the normal thing. High school had been a disaster, twice, which made her a little bit nervous as she knocked on the door. Still, how bad could it go, right?

...hopefully, Stephanie wouldn't find her green skin too weird.

THE LATEST REPLY FROM ME WOOOO.

[nobatbra]

Steph was mostly just enthusiastic for more company. It really was a nice change of pace, from just exploring and investigating the creepy town. She needed some time off sometimes, right? (And, had she had any idea what nearly was brought to her, she'd have been grateful.)

At least Steph knew of the Martians/fellow-crime fighters. Otherwise the green skin might have been more than momentarily startling.

"Oh, uh, hey!" Steph says, but she regains her composure fairly quickly. "C'mon in."

o/\o

[morzzcode]

"Oh...thanks." She hesitated for a moment before entering the house, giving Steph a smile she hoped was friendly while doing so. M'gann felt awkward: she had never gotten this far talking to someone...well...normal before coming to Bell Pointe, and it still felt odd.

The insides of the house looked a lot like her own. Were all the houses so samey or was it just her? "I can try to change my skin color if you'd like. I know it's a little bit distracting."

I lack an emote which expresses explosions of awesome

[nobatbra]

Well, it seemed that M'gann didn't know who she was. At least the secret identity thing was working, right?

"Nah, no worries," Steph said, waving it off with one hand as she closed the door behind her. "What kind of person would I be if I let something like that bother me, right?" It would always be odd, but it wasn't something she couldn't deal with, that was for sure.
