23 ... getting down to business

[There's a stitchpunk out by the duck pond, inspecting the muddy, trampled earth. The plumage hanging off the back of her birdskull helmet has a shock of color in it from the feathers from 6.]

Your were right, he left a trail. Looks like he was headed into the forests. Are there any other structures or buildings out there he might try to use?



Filtered to Shortpack
I'll be out of the castle for a while. Although he's pretty self-sufficient, could you keep an eye on Ruffian for me? [Since the cat seems most adept at blowing her cover, and that's absolutely the last thing 7 needs!]


[She wasn't sure how she'd never thought of it before, but it finally occurred to her to wish for the castle to make her journal more size appropriate, and would now fit securely in her pocket.]

[[ooc: backdated to after this. Open post and journal!]]

Ah. [looking a little awkward herself, here] Well... I won't tell anyone you were a hamster, you won't tell anyone I took one on patrol. Sound good?

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[Has to smile. Ignoring embarrassing things is something she's quite familiar with, after hanging out with Shortpack.] Sounds good.

So, are you patrolling now? [7 wants to know if she has to worry about anyone accidentally running into the Meta]

[slingshots]

No. Uh. [glances down at her clothes] Not the right outfit. ...Or persona.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[Tilts her head curiously,]

Persona? What do you mean?

[slingshots]

[Oh god, how do you explain this without feeling a little ridiculous?]

Uh. ...Have you met any of the other vigilantes around here?

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[Even more confused,] No, I don't think think I have.

[slingshots]

[of course not, that would be too easy.]

Well, back home, there's some of us that protect people, fight the ones that no one else can. We can't be on guard against them and their friends all the time though, so we make new identities and do it with a mask. Met you last time with the mask. [a vague gesture at herself] This is without. Two different people, see?

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[7 has to smile, she's practically a vigilante herself already!] I get it, yeah! Are there a lot of people here that do that?

[slingshots]

Yeah, a few of them. Seems like most of them come from my world too, for whatever it's worth. [maybe just that her world is full of crazy people? :\]

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

Are there many from your world here? [She sounds a little softer here, wondering about her own friends and how they're faring back at home]

[slingshots]

Yeah... sorta. [the smile falters just a little]

There's a lot from my world, but not my version of it.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[A small frown,] There's different versions of one world?

[slingshots]

Yeah. [she tries not to sigh, but it comes out anyway]

Big names and events are the same, little details are different. So, no one here knows me, but I've heard of a couple of them.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

[She can see this is a difficult subject, so she's not going to push]

I shouldn't be surprised, with the variety of people here. [Gives a little smile.] How long have you been in the castle?
