[ My god, is this really a video post coming from the NV that always uses nothing but text? There's a weirdly blonde, glasses-less, costume-less Carrie, pretty unrecognizable from the redheaded be-visored Robin that last used this NV signal, staring thoughtfully at her device with the baseball diamond as a backdrop. ]

Wow. Siren's Port. [

How much time had passed since the last time you were here?

permaencrypted text;

[girlyboywonder]

[ oh, yeah. there's no mistaking that anonymous text. ]

Two years, boss. How about here?

[kingofrooks]

Twenty-two days.

[girlyboywonder]

You're kidding. Just that?

[Oh. Sherlock figured she'd been sent home, and after what happened, he decided it was for the better, but seeing her again after a few weeks is still... relieving, in some way.

Even if she is clearly older than expected.]

Don't tell me you've forgotten how to make a brew as well.

[girlyboywonder]

I think I could probably recall it.

[caveatwalls]

Even after more than a year?

[She'll have to readjust to his ways of just knowing things again, at the very least.]

[girlyboywonder]

Hey, memory like a steel trap.

[Whoah hey. Rochelle would have some issues recognizing Carrie at first, considering they only had one physical meeting ever, but it may work out.]

I don't remember seeing you before. [Her tone's more welcoming than accusing, but it's also a little perplexed. Ro's racking her brains trying to remember if she ever knew this girl.]

I could reccomend a good pizza place, if you remember where they were. How long have you been gone, exactly?

permavideo

[girlyboywonder]

A couple years, so, yeah, I'm a little rusty on the wheres.

[ a beat, and a smile ]

You told some pretty good zombie stories, if I'm remembering you right.

permavideo

[axemeaquestion]

Two years? Holy crap, you MUST be.

[paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause.]

I've told zombie stories to a lot of people. Sorry, you're not ringing any bells. Uh...? [help.]

[girlyboywonder]

Don't worry. Just making sure I had the right person. Rochelle, right?

I went by Robin.

[ finally... ]

....Carrie?

[girlyboywonder]

[ there's a second where she actually looks surprised, but then there's a smile melting in over that. ]

Hey. I can't believe I forgot the coolest part of the Port.

Like the hair.

[girlyboywonder]

[ there's a pause, because HANG ON GIVE HER A SECOND IT'S BEEN A WHILE, but then a smile ]

Red's a little conspicuous, turns out.

[batgraduate]

You don't have to tell me. Legacy and all. Legacy of redheaded Bat-females.

Any other reasons for the new look?

[girlyboywonder]

That depends on what else makes up the new look, I guess. It's not exactly new for me, so you'll have to remind me.
