"Anotehr girls-only alternate universe"? Are there really that many?

[gravityfists]

Yes. Probably! Definitely!

... the fact that I don't recognise you does not bode well at all.

[not_as_special]

And here I thought this one was just special.

Why doesn't it?

[gravityfists]

'cause I lived here for, like, five months, and even if I've been home for the better part of four, we've still gotta take into consideration the fact that timelines are seriously screwed up. All in all, I've probably been gone for a negative number of days, meaning that, y'know, maybe this isn't the last place I woke up in wearing a totally unflattering, shapeless dress.

[sansbaguette]

Well, I can help with at least one of those things...

[gravityfists]

... France. Hi. [ okay, calming down just a little ] I thought I'd dreamed you up.

In a non-weird way.

[sansbaguette]

I get that a lot.

[sansbaguette]

But that does not change the fact that you are in very big trouble, mademoiselle!

[brands]

[She's laughing.] You're in the same place, sweetheart. Not sure if that's a pro or a con.

[gravityfists]

It's a total pain in the ass! The only pro here is that this isn't bizarro-Gardens, and you aren't all zombies.

[brands]

[Bizarro...zombies. Fang's going to pretend she understands this, 'cause that's how she rolls.] Got it. Sorry to disappoint, then. It looks like quite a few of us are getting stuck here again, so you're not the only one, at least.

[gravityfists]

Wait, what d'ya mean, not the only one? So I'm not even original in my vanishing act?

[notvitiligo]

Welcome back, oh chiropteran one. If it's another universe, you look about the same as the Batgirl we had, so... Maybe there won't be that much difference.

[gravityfists]

Y'never know. I'm, like, the third actual Batgirl.

I'm the only one who comes in purple, though.

[notvitiligo]

...so, what, are you guys like power rangers or something? You're all color-coded? Do you combine into a giant bat robot?

[gravityfists]

It's a legacy. We hand the name down to whoever can make the most of it.

Which is basically me saying no, we don't have a giant bat robot, and yes, I'm kind of bitter about that.

[It's a really good thing Canada doesn't have to hold the vine to use it, because then it would be obvious how her hands are shaking with excitement.]

Hey, have you found anyone to feed you, yet?

[gravityfists]

Um. (Stephanie Brown, this was bound to happen. Your mask doesn't even cover your whole face! Only you make puns at technoplants!)

[gravityfists]

(Hiding behind your cape also really won't help. Knock it off! Look tough!)

[gravityfists]

I think your mom might go on a bodily-harm spree against me. Fair warning.
