Deciding what to do next

[tessanne]

Um...so I didn't expect to have this many options...

If it's all right with you, I'd rather stay in Chicago for now. I'm hoping Mr. Gardner (I'm not going to call him Will, we just met) and I will get to talk again. I think I could learn a lot from him about the law, and business.

And that's what I need to do right now, is learn. I need to find something I can do, and some people I fit in with. That's what's going to get me out of my shell like you keep needling me about.

[Okay, that makes sense, but--]

--Then maybe I'll go to California. Oh! And I should call Hardison.

And can I meet Batman? Is there a Batman? Or I guess Bruce Wayne. Because I really want to ask him how cool it is to be Batman.

[Here the mun facepalms.]

What would you like me to teach you?

[tessanne]

[She's still a little nervous around him. He's up here and she's down there, at least in her head.]

It's just that if I'm going to stay working in law, I need to know what I'm doing. I don't want to spend my whole career just making coffee runs.

[havebadtiming]

I could probably show you the ropes. It'd be good times.

[tessanne]

I'd appreciate it. [A sheepish smile.] I kind of came to Chicago on a whim. I haven't really been able to find something that fits me, yet.

[havebadtiming]

Well maybe we'll be a good fit together. Make some waves.

[tessanne]

I do want to kick a little ass.

Maybe we can get together for coffee? I'm not doing anything today.

[havebadtiming]

Coffee sounds great. My treat.

[chiroptophobic]

What makes you think Bruce Wayne would know?

[ Talking about himself in third person, then. That's a thing. ]

[tessanne]

My mun's history as a complete comic book nerd.

I mean, obviously I wouldn't know in canon. I'm not that cool.

[chiroptophobic]

[ How does he even. ]

Well if I was to hazard a guess, it'd be that being Batman probably isn't all it's made out to be.

[tessanne]

I'm more impressed by that whole "studied with masters around the world" thing. I wish I could do that. I just went to Oregon.

[chiroptophobic]

I attended Princeton myself, and even I can tell you it's not what it's cracked up to be. What's in Oregon?

[tessanne]

The University of Oregon Ducks. We have the ugliest uniforms in football.

[kittysdragon]

No 'ody ever asks 'ow 'ool it is to be Lockheed, huh?

[tessanne]

[OMG there's a dragon.]

...Hi?

[kittysdragon]

[See that face makes it all worthwhile. Lockheed waves a stubby paw.]

Hi'ya.

[tessanne]

I, um. Did not know there were dragons. Though I guess that makes sense if there are giants and werewolves and vampires.

[kittysdragon]

Well there isn't 'ragons where 'ou come from, Heed just from outta space. Don't 'hink Heed 'as ever met a 'iant before. Yeh to th' other ones 'hough.

[tessanne]

This is kinda freaky. But in a good way.

[satanlawyer]

You're more than welcome at Wolfram and Hart anytime.

[tessanne]

Thank you, Lilah. I'll keep that in mind. Just think I need to get better prepared before I consider any big moves.

[satanlawyer]

Okay, but you 're missing out I undstand though.

[tessanne]

You'll just have to keep me posted.

[satanlawyer]

Will do. (Smiles)

[tessanne]

Great. I'll call you sometime.
