Right, so.. uhm, any of you ever passed somethin' by that reminded you of home? Today, I was out for breakfast and came across this little tiny bakery... I swear, they had cinnamon buns that smelled just like my Gran's.

Made me wonder how everyone back home's doin'... if they're missin' me and Sam.

[If Bill's okay

I deal with it with a cup of tea, and playing a song that takes me back for a short while.

[Okay, at first, she just lets out a little yelp, jumping.]

O-oh my goodness--you took me off guard there.

Uhm. [She's seen a lot of weird things, but it still catches her off guard, you know? she pauses.] Wow, you can drink tea?

[video]

[tapdancinskelly]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry my lady, I didn't mean to startle you. By the way, may I please see your panties?

[video]

[as_a_lady]

Excuse me?

[papabeard]

I drink a lot! Gurarararara!

[as_a_lady]

Oh, uhm...

I guess that's one way to deal with it? [she's laughing a little though.]

[papabeard]

It helps that some of my sons are here and I can find new ones, but I still miss the rest back home.

And you?

[as_a_lady]

You find new sons? Like... adopt'em you mean?

Well, I'm just tryin' to keep busy, to be honest...

You have Sam around, don't you? I'd have thought having him there with you might make you feel a little closer to home, but I suppose this is the city...

[A pause.]

Maybe I could offer you that company you promised, if you're up for it?

Audio

[as_a_lady]

Oh, don't get me wrong... He makes things a lot easier, but you know, my best friend... she's back home, my boyfriend, too.

Can't help missin' them, you know?

[She smiles.]

You know what? I'd like that a lot.

Audio ---> Private

[killswithapen]

I...couldn't say I know how you feel. I haven't had friends like that for a while. [Or ever, really. His friends were always convenient.] I think I'd like that too. Where are you staying now?

Ah wait, hang on.

[He switches to a private channel]

Tell me now, it's safer.

Audio ---> Private

[as_a_lady]

You didn't have any friends back home? How about family?

Oh, I'm at the starter apartments? Uhm, room 1001, quite a walk up on the tenth floor.

[ridi_arlecchino]

Wellll. Home's where the heart is, an' my heart's real close by. I guess I do wish my friends were here too, but--

[She smiles brightly.] I did make finger-puppets of 'em!

[And the pig-tailed blonde holds up a hand, wiggling five fingers worth of home-made Batman rogues. A little felt Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Riddler, Scarecrow, and Penguin, to be precise.]

[Video]

[as_a_lady]

[Wow, they had some... characters here, didn't they?]

Well, ain't those cute. You gotta lot of interestin' friends there, miss.

[Video]

[ridi_arlecchino]

Thanks! [Another waggle and she puts her hand down.] Interestin' friends are the only kind to have!

[Video]

[as_a_lady]

Reckon I can agree there... gotta an interestin' bunch myself.

So, are you new around here too?

[voice]

[implausibility]

[Perhaps a little later than others, which is why, as the day winds down, his voice sounds a little tired.]

Keeping busy helps, believe me.

[A yawn.]

[voice]

[as_a_lady]

Reckon you're right.

[She pauses, a little more concerned.]

Hey, you sound tired. You ain't keepin' yourself too busy, are you?
