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.
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.
[ 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.
[ 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.
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.
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?
[ 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.

...not that I didn't expect it would be great, just... this is really pretty. Thank you.
text; backdated to a couple days ago
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... ]
no subject
Do you want to come over, or... I can drop by your ship? If you'll remind me which one it is?

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. ]
