Settling In (open to all Titans and Pippi and Mitzi)
They went into a situation looking to fight and they came back with two additional members to their strange family. Pippi and Mitzi had come back with the Titans after the fight. Now it was just a matter of getting them to settle in. Mitzi got the spare room next to Cait's and Pippi was down the hall next to Iris.

Cait stretched out on the couch in the rec room and put the Princess Bride into the DVD player. Maybe they will wander by and watch a movie.

	It took a moment for Dinah's brain to catch up with her ears. And she really hoped she kept herself from making any faces. "I... don't think I've played that in a long time," she said, charitably. "But I used to be pretty good at it." Good? Heck, she'd been great. Her Mom was the world's greatest detective and information junkie, after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	God help her, Pippi was like some kind of adorable if somewhat clueless puppy dog. The enthusiasm was practically contagious when she wasn't surrounded by her somewhat sinister friends. "Probably," Dinah said. "As long as she doesn't cheat and use her speed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, that'd be easy," Dinah said. "All that would take is a little coding to adjust the rate it puts out move-sets, maybe a higher speed processor, probably adjust the sensitivity of the foot-pads..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi stares at her blankly. "Oh... ok. Uhm... so you can do that, we can play, then I'll fix your hair while we watch more princess movies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, not too much. But, I mean, you obviously work out hard with your muscles and physique and stuff. If you're going to do that, you need to take extra good care of your hair to get all the oil out, and yours is a little... heavy, I guess. Plus, its like totally obvious you just tie it back so its out of the way, the way it just hangs. A little body, the right conditioner, a little hair treatment... then braid it, easy to fix. Then we can work on your skin."

	Dinah's mouth hung open for a moment, though she quickly remembered to close it. "I... guess a braid might be okay," she said. "...Wait, what about my skin?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Wait, you really don't know? Seriously? Your skin is in terrible shape. I mean, I'm sure you soap up and all, but you do the super hero thing... and then spend a lot of time in front of a computer. But its ok, something to soak up some of the extra oil and sweat will clear you up, a little moisturizer, some make up that suits your complexion... you could have all the geek boys drooling, you just need to take a little better care of yourself." Pippi may not know much - but beauty care, thanks to her mother, she lives.

	Spending too much time around Pippi was going to cause Dinah to develop a nasty twitch, she just knew it. But she'd also never seen someone so earnestly trying to be helpful either. "I... huh?" she managed. "I can't even remember the last time I used make-up, Pippi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten into, Dinah... she thought to herself. "I've... got dresses," Dinah said. "Don't wear them much, though. I prefer pants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nice, Dinah. Play nice. Do not damage the puppy with your sarcastic wit. "So..." Dinah began, "what you're saying is I've been doing everything--clothes, hair, skin--all wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh! No, of course not. Just that you have a great foundation to work with... cute eyes, wonderful bone structure... and you obviously take great care of yourself. If you just took a little more care of yourself you could be /gorgeous/." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Dinah and Pippi bwa_ha_ha 2010-07-10 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Well. No one had ever told her that before. Dinah always figured she'd have to settle for "cute" and possibly "spunky." She couldn't even manage hot librarian, as far as she was concerned. "Well... okay," she said. "Couldn't hurt I guess. You sound like you know what you're doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A "He's not my boyfriend!" died in Dinah's throat before it could get out. Pippi didn't know her... history. "Well, there's this one guy. But he's really not my boyfriend. Just a friend. Really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
