Temporally Ambiguous Post-Formation conversation
Well, that had happened.

It was all very weird, scary, and exhausting. But it definitely just emphasized that the oommitment she'd made was for real. And worth it, what with more people being safer and all because she'd been able to help. And now they had a whole little Hero (or Heroine) Education thing going, apparently, and that was going to help a lot, and the people seemed nice.

She was there now, but nothing much was happening at the moment, so she was sitting outside on a rock, had her guitar out and was playing "Rainbow Connection."

	"Well, with the morning run, I supposed I did a little exploring. Casing is more Janie's specialty though... almost positive 'Casing the Joint 101' is Kindergarten stuff for her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie feigns a look of shock. "Kindergarten?! Daddy made sure I completed that course in preschool." Scary thing is with a bat dad you couldn't be sure if that was an exaggeration or not. But she notes Clara's apprehension and gives her a warm smile. "Practice makes perfect. Besides, if anything goes wrong either of us can catch you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"True, forgive me. It was safecracking and pickpocketing for justice that was kindergarten, right? She's right though, we'll keep an eye out. Looking around from above is a good plan though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clara nods earnestly. It's just sometimes, embarrassingly, a little hard to remember what she can and can't do now. But she blues up a bit and stands with them. "Definitely a good plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie floats up from her seat on the rock. "Besides, it's also just plain fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wow," Clara says as they're getting up. "Still can't get over how things look from this angle. I feel tall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie doesn't say it, but she thinks it's lucky Clara wasn't scared of heights before getting the ring. Because that would really cause problems. "It's great isn't it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clara's glad to hear it's not just a matter of her being a bumpkin. "How long did it take you two to get the hang of it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thegirlwonder 2012-12-21 05:43 am UTC (link)
	Janie shrugged. "Hard to say. I mean, when you've been able to for long enough and practiced as often as possible... But I mean, we've all had mishaps happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I took to flying pretty quick. Landing, however..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clara giggles. "That must have been interesting!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie laughed. "Don't look so worried for him. It was everything nearby his 'landings' that needs the sympathy. Free landscaping but he wasn't too good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2012-12-21 06:53 am UTC (link)
	"I got very good at the landscaping, I'll have you know. Dad made sure I spent a lot of time fixing everything I landed on for a while there. Good motivation to practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
