[ Remember your request for some flowers! Ino is here to deliver! Enjoy! ]

Oh! This is so much cooler than I was expecting!

...not that I didn't expect it would be great, just... this is really pretty. Thank you.

I don't suppose you have a bit of free time to talk?

I find myself in need of someone to talk to and I'd rather not speak to Anders or Garrett about it.

[ Steffa, it appears, is not so thick as to not realize that her boys would not approve of what she just did... ]

Yeah, of course.

Do you want to come over, or... I can drop by your ship? If you'll remind me which one it is?

The Bishop. It's in better shape than it was when we arrived, but it's still a bit rough. Also between Hiro, Tadashi, and Belthazar, I'm a bit afraid something could explode at any given moment and that would be a bit distracting.

[ She loves the boys on her ship, really. ]

Would you mind meeting in the VR Dome, actually? It's soothing, if nothing else, to be able to recreate familiar places.

No problem. Meet you there as soon as I can.

Hey, baby bird.

A new friend brought it to my attention that there's a VR dome thing here, and I figure if I'm gonna be stuck in space, I might as well get one last run in Gotham before we're herded to our next thrilling destination.

Feel like joining me? We can always trade gossip afterwards.

Yes. It's been forever since I really got to stretch my legs.

Give me half an hour and I'm there.

[ Because YAY BACKDATING. ]

Oh boy. Where are you right now? Paisley?

wastyation

eshellent

How drunk are you right now?

Actually never mind. I'm on my way. Do NOT fight anyone.

Unless they really deserve it I guess?

to late

[ Steffa starts the video by groaning and flopping face-first into her pillow. ]

[ muffled ] I think I scared off someone I like.

[ Oh, are they gossiping? Steph is so here for gossip. ]

Why, what'd you do? It can't be that bad.

[ Steffa flops back over looking into the camera mournfully ]

There's a... person I've had... feelings for. For a while, since I arrived. And I thought maybe he felt the same way, but then I was... flirting, and he realized it and got very awkward and now I'm afraid he'll be too uncomfortable to be friends with me.

[ huff ]

Relationships are so complicated.

[ Oh, sweetheart. Steph grimaces, because man, she can sympathize... ]

Yeah. They are. That sucks.

[ She twists around on her own bunk, getting comfortable - and if she's hanging half upside-down over the edge when she finally gets into a position she's happy with... well, she's a batkid. Leave her alone. ]

Maybe he just needs some time to process? Like... he could still be interested. Some guys are just... skittish.

[Case in point: HER BOYFRIEND. ]

[ FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION YOUR BOYFRIEND ]

Maybe.

[ Steffa sighs ]

I feel like I should... cut him loose and pursue someone else.

There are a... a couple of people I would pursue if given the chance, he's not the only one, and I don't know that I have the time or energy for someone so... skittish.

[ Steph laughs softly. ]

That's fair, too. I mean, maybe don't cut him loose right away, but...

Well. D'you just want someone to make out with or... y'know more than that...? [Fuckbuddies, is the word she is looking for. ] Or are you looking for someone who's actually... [ She pauses, searching for the words. ] A partner?

[ Steffa sighs deeply. VERY deeply. ]

If I have no other options, then... kissing is certainly not a bad thing in any way. I would appreciate being able to kiss someone.

But I'd like a... a partner, as you say.

[ ...fuck it, clearly she should be flirting with Steph, Tim ain't worth her time. ]

[ Steph can't help a little chuckle at Steffa's answer. ]

Well. Traditionally, the way I handle this sort of thing is kissing the guy out of the blue after we've both almost died. But maybe that doesn't work for everyone...

[ dryly ] Well, I missed a perfect opportunity after the attack, then.

I don't know, maybe I should move on to someone less... difficult to read.

[ Like Steph.

...hm.

Steph goes for direct, huh? They haven't nearly died in the last week and Steffa's too far away to kiss her, but... ]

I don't suppose you're in the market for someone to kiss after a near-death experience? [ She says it with a laugh, as if she's joking. But... well, if Steph said yes, Steffa would be okay with that. ]

[ Steph blushes a little, probably much more brightly than the question called for... but she and Tim were just in the shower, and it's impossible not to think about it without turning pink and getting butterflies in her stomach all over again. ]

Umm... kinda got that covered right now. Tim and I are back together.

[ Steffa freezes for a moment, eyes wide, slowly getting redder and redder as she processes that revelation.

Then she groans and faceplants into her pillow. ]

I am never speaking to anyone ever again.

[ Steph blinks at the camera for a moment. ]

It's totally okay! I mean, I'm not... offended or anything...

[ Steffa laughs a little, slightly hysterical, still half pressed into her pillow. Her pillow loves her. Her pillow understands. ]

It was Tim. The boy I was flirting with.

[ Steph claps a hand over her mouth. She might be holding back a giggle. ]

Oh. Oh my god. I'm... so so sorry. That's... That sucks.

[ She's not laughing. Really. ]

[ Steffa turns even redder. She knows Steph doesn't mean anything by it and that she probably does feel sympathetic, but this is just mortifying. ]

I... I think I should... I'm going to...

I'lltalktoyoulater.

[ she disconnects and will just. lay here for a few minutes before messaging her cousin.

Someone just kill her now. ]
