Give me little time, help me clear up me mind - from Red Red Wine
Usually, going home tends to be relaxing for Pippi. So many things are just sort of taken care of... because. And usually, even when out, she just needs to call home, and her mother's handler takes care of... things. And stuff.

Right now, her mother is off in Ireland on a photo shoot, and her staff is with her. Pippi is welcome to use the house - but it was a lot quieter than she's used to. Sure, it still has the full beauty cabinet and all, so she was able to stock up - as indicated by her huge gym bag full of beauty products... which is a touch out of place sitting next to her at the pizza shop.
It didn't help with figuring out her syllabus, which is on the table. Or her class schedule. Also on the table. Or her books - a couple of which at on the table, while more paperwork is laid out with the rest of what she's supposed to need. She has her laptop... and knows how to boot up her games, but not a lot else.

This is hopeless.

"I'm not sure what to do, Mr. Whiskers." she says, with a sigh, to the stuffed cat in a tophat sitting on the table atop some of the papers.

"Oh. Well I guess that makes sense, thought you'd got it from the lanterns and not a hardware store. That's umm...resourceful of you?"

He's finished figuring out the alarms on her phone and setting up a bunch of weekly ones. "Here. There's an alarm fifteen minutes before each of your classes to remind you to head to class, and a second one to signal the beginning of class, especially in case you're running late or fighting bad guys. Those are for your regular weekly stuff, but if you've got any events coming up that you know of I can input those in too for reminders," he smiles and hands her back the phone. "I found a paper about a JLI event so I put that in already. Don't worry, it'll all be automatic. You can stop it when it rings of course and all."

She takes all this in, considering it carefully - for Pippi, anyway. "If they clear you through the background check, you'll be given access to the business credit card, so you can arrange cars and flights and things, and put some business expenses on it. I don't need as much stuff as Mom, so it would be part time - but if Cindy will give you a reference, that would probably help. I'll give Cain all your information when he's back from Ireland.

And... I've never heard of the lanterns giving out chainsaws. They're really, really useful though. I didn't have the ring yet then... but that's ok. I'm more used to my own compassion powers."

"I don't think the background check will be a problem, but I'll ask Cindy for a reference. Part-time would work perfectly, it's my last semester so I'll be free after but in the meantime it'd be good to get used to it and see if I'm good for you." It occurs to him that he actually hasn't given her any of his info with the exception of a first name and the fact he was on a team with Cindy Lord.

"Hold on, let me write my contact info down for you." Harry digs into his bag and gets a sheet of paper from a folder and writes down all his information if she wants to find or contact him. "There. I hope it'll turn out."

"Oh, good, it'd be a little odd if lanterns did give out chainsaws. I've...never used a chainsaw before so I'll take your word on how useful it is. I don't have a ring either but, what are your compassion powers like?"

"Oh good. I'll be sure and give all of this to Mom's people. I'm sure it will be fine, you seem like a good fit, and you need a job, so we can both help people out, right?" she says, working on figuring out a good place in her stuff for his information so she won't lose it.

"I have really great powers. I can make people not want to hurt people if I really have to. But a lot of it is helping me talk to animals, and healing powers. Plus the normal Raiderette things. I can't fly like real lanterns, but I can super jump... and have the force field thing."

"Yeah, though I think you're better at the super helping portion of things than I am," he smiles. Harry sees her dilemma and considers the stuff she's carrying around. What seemed like something she consistently had with her that she wouldn't forget about? "Want me to put it in Mr. Whiskers' hat? He can save it until your mom comes back, he's been doing a good job with that stack of papers." Mr. Whiskers struck him as something she carried around often, and took good care of. Well, as much as one needs to take care of a stuffed animal, but he seemed well groomed and all. Moths hadn't gotten to him.

"Those are great! Especially that first one, I wish I had that power. I...hate it when people fight, they really shouldn't, it's real nice you can stop that though. I'm sure it comes in handy a lot."

	"That's a great idea!" she agrees, handing over one of the most spoiled stuffed animals in history. "Mr. Whiskers, you'll take good care of that piece of paper, right?" That done, she shifts back to the conversation about powers. "It is really handy. I don't use it a lot though. What powers do you have?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Harry takes Mr. Whiskers carefully and tucks the now folded piece of paper into his top hat. "Mr. Whiskers seems reliable, if anything happens you can ask Cindy how to find me, she'll know." With a smile he hands her back the rather cute stuffed animal.

"It's better if you don't need to. Means people aren't fighting and arguing." His distaste for that could be seen as almost a phobia by some people, but it wasn't something Harry wanted to talk to anyone about. "Well, like I mentioned, I can absorb the other colours. And normal energy a bit. Like, if someone hits me, it doesn't hurt much at all but the charge it gives me isn't as much as if I absorbed green or something," he explains. "And the markings on my arms move to show how much charge I have, I can give some of it to others too. Umm, let's see...I have that standard force field, can fly and, I really like this one, I can teleport. But I need to absorb stuff first to do that. That's it, no constructs like the Green Lanterns."

"So what are the normal Rainbow Raiderette things?" He recalled a team of girls like that in Keystone before, but it was hard to recognize Pippi had been one. First of all she didn't seem like the type to steal stuff and break things, and second...well it was like recognizing one girl out of a girl band. Kind of hard out of context.

"That's really neat. So... these markings, they, like, show how much battery you have? That's really cool. Way easier to just check your arms than have to ask the ring all the time and have it say a bunch of math at you. Teleporting sounds really cool too. I wish I could do that one.

And... well, all the raiderettes got some of the same powers. Super jumping, force fields, some protection stuff and hitting stuff powers. And then each of us got some stuff that just one gem did... all the other girls kept switching around, but none of them wanted compassion, so I just kept it."

"Yeah, I guess I'm like a battery," he chuckles lightly. Though he didn't like having the markings visible to other people, people though they were tatoos and got all the wrong impressions. "It is, it's my favourite one. If you'd like, I can show you after if you had somewhere you wanted to go," Harry offers.

"Why didn't any of them want compassion? It seems like a good one, though I think it's a good thing in the end they didn't want it. Means you get to have compassion powers."

"I don't know..." she considers a few moments, looking at him carefully. "You could pull off a couple tattoos, if you really wanted. But it wouldn't fit that well, its true. I'd love to see how the teleporting worked though, sure!"

She pauses, considering the second question. "I... don't know. I know they all wanted love most of the time. That was the popular one. The red thing was popular sometimes too, since it did the most obvious stuff. They were all really nice though, so I don't know... I guess its just they knew it was my favorite, so they let me have the one to help people the most."

	"Yeah, I don't think they fit me very well but...nothing I can do about it," Harry shrugs. "Great, I'll show you after lunch?" Harry looks thoughtful over her answer then gives her a small smile. "If that was the case then at least they weren't terrible friends? You seem like you must have a lot of friends Pippi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-01-10 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds good! If you want something else, just let them know. And... yeah, they're still good friends. I don't talk to them as much now, and Mitzi seems really worried about some of the others, but I try and stay in touch with all my friends. Even when they don't always like each other, even if I'm not sure why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2013-01-11 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh no! I'm fine, and you've been more than generous. But thank you," he smiled to show he did appreciate it and wasn't turning it down because he didn't like her or anything. "That makes you a good friend too then, staying in touch is hard I hear but I'm sure they appreciate that you make the effort." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I try anyway. Mitzi is the main one who writes back. Mom and I are putting her through college though, so I think she's supposed to. Oh yeah, that reminds me, since you're trying out for the job - I think there's a couple big Valentine's Day fashion shows and things coming up. there usually is. I'll need you to do a search for where the big ones are. Find out which of the big ones Isabel Zapardiez isn't at, and then e-mail Cain at this address..." she writes it down and gives him the e-mail address. "And tell him he needs to arrange a flight and hotel near that one. Eventually, you'll do that, but I think they'd prefer you pass the background check before I go letting you use the credit card."

	Harry nods along as he listens. If to anyone else this change in her would be odd, he just took it in stride and wrote down her requests so he could keep it all straight. At least she was clear and knew what she wanted, made things easier. "Yeah, I'd prefer they do that first too. But I'll get right on all that now. Do you usually do this for valentine's day?"

"I try to go to the shows on the big fashion circuit when I can. New York, Paris, Milan, Gotham... all have an annual thing. That means its once a year, by the way. I don't know why they don't just say once a year. Plus Valentine's and Christmas usually have big shows... oh, and I'll get you subscriptions to Vanity Fair, Maxim and Playboy and their websites so you can track when their big shows are and book tickets, hotel and travel."
