1st Card

[The first thing that causes Melanie to stir is the pain in her back. Then it's the feeling of raindrops pummeling her back and... the taste of sand in her mouth.]

Ugh! [Immediately she pushes herself up and works to wipe away all of the sand, although she winces slightly when she hears a clap of thunder.

Wake up on a beach in a thunderstorm. Oh, this is perfect.]

Somehow, I get the feeling that this isn't the beach in Gotham.

[And how did she get here, anyway?]

[The business of experiments are never good and he'll have to... tell her more in time.]

Doesn't really make up for it, but it helps. A little.

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes the small things are enough to help a little bit. [Not always, but sometimes.]

But I guess I should save judgments until I've been here a bit longer.

[bamfing]

Probably... speaking of which, I can show you the Welcome Center, yeah? I'd let you crash at my place, but we're completely maxed out now.

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. I'm pretty used to having to move from one place to another. [Boy, is she ever.]

[bamfing]

[The way she says that sort of reminds him of Tabitha. Which is... sort of sad to think about.]

Well... I guess that will make it easier, yeah?

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

I guess so. Once you're used to it, it's not like moving around again is a big deal.

The only thing that makes this different is that I didn't get any kind of warning. [She shrugs.] I'll figure something out, either way.

[bamfing]

Well, anytime you want, you can hang out my place. We've got a flatscreen TV and everything. Very exclusive.

[By special request! And probably retro by her standards.]

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, very retro by her standards. But she's not picky.]

I'll make sure to keep that in mind. Thanks, Kurt.

[bamfing]

[He gives a content nod. But he's not really eager to just abandon her on her own like this.]

Tell you what, how about I give you the grand tour when it's not raining, yeah?

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

Sure. Or maybe we could just hang out sometime. [Melanie is up for either, really.]

[bamfing]

Alright, it's a date- I mean, ahh, let's do that. Just... hang out, yeah? [WHOOPS.]

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

[Good going, Kurt. Luckily for you, Melanie doesn't mind the slip-up.]

Sounds good to me. Just let me know when you want to - I'll come find you.

[bamfing]

[Well good because he's be red if he wasn't blue.]

House sixteen. I'm easy to find, I'm the blue one.

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

I'll try not to forget. [Joking!]

Thanks for helping me out, Kurt.

[bamfing]

Ahh, it was nothing. Helping pretty girls is what I do, yeah? So... I guess I'll see you around.

[He always hates leaving new people like this, especially the pretty ones. But sometimes you've gotta have time to deal with the situation on your own.]

[ten-ofspades.livejournal.com]

You don't have to guess. I'll see you later. [And unless he has anything else to say, Melanie will be walking off to go... do whatever she needs to do.]
