canon is Bedknobs & Broomsticks... maybe looking? we'll see

[smellsofsulphur]

It has been a long time, hasn't it? I'll admit, all this journal business is a little new to me.

All I ask is that you try not to put me anywhere terribly undignified.

[timeshare_batwoman]

That's asking a lot.

[smellsofsulphur]

After a quick look around, I'm inclined to agree with you.

[timeshare_batwoman]

Even here isn't safe.

[smellsofsulphur]

Yes, I'd say this place has its fair share of interesting happenings.

It's not often I see a woman in an outfit like that.

[timeshare_batwoman]

It's one of a kind. [Not really, but that is the illusion, convincing the city that the two Batwomen are the same person.]

Name's Batwoman. I take it you're not from my world, or else you'd recognize the symbol.

[smellsofsulphur]

Most likely not...

Miss Price. [Polite nod.] I must say, it's very interesting to meet someone like you. Superhero types are quite popular where I come from, but not particularly common.

Yes.

[deus_ex_typewriter]

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

perfect

[smellsofsulphur]

[How familiar.]

Admittedly that was more of an afterthought.

[whereswally]

That sure does seem a reasonable request ma'am! I hope your friend there understands.

[smellsofsulphur]

I'm sure she'll... come around.

[whereswally]

I'm certain some sincere conversation can enlighten the situation!

[smellsofsulphur]

Yes, perhaps if we engage in a little heart-to-heart. [Really amused by this.]

So much <3 right now!!!

[elphabathropp]

You do realize that these... muns.... get a thrill out of making us 'undignified'...

:')

[smellsofsulphur]

I got the sneaking suspicion that might be the case.

[elphabathropp]

Yes. Well the best thing is to lay low and hope they find other... muses.... to entertain themselves with and leave you alone.

[smellsofsulphur]

Believe me, mine has plenty. They just haven't all made it here yet.

Which unfortunately means they're rather a lot noisier than is probably polite.

[elphabathropp]

I do not understand. "Noisier?" Does that mean that you all don't have your own rooms to go to?

[Elphie's starting to think she doesn't have it so bad in her mun's head if that's the case.]

[smellsofsulphur]

Oh, nothing like that. It's just that with so many unsupervised young people running around getting whatever they want, everyone forgets what's good for them. Children will be children.

2/2

[smellsofsulphur]

One of them insisted on a throne.

[A real one. With gold on it.]

[elphabathropp]

Dear Oz! A throne? Whatever for?

[She's just glad each of the muses of this head get their own space.]

[smellsofsulphur]

For the sake of becoming spoiled, I expect. [More than a little unimpressed.]

Though it is interesting to see the kinds of things they come up with on slow days.

[elphabathropp]

I prefer sticking to my studies.

[Head down and out of the way. No one ever liked her much.]

[smellsofsulphur]

That's a very good work ethic. It's good to know some people still know what's important.

[elphabathropp]

It's not abou.... It's abou.... [She sighs heavily.] Never mind.

[smellsofsulphur]

[Giving you a slightly puzzled look now. But she has a hunch.]

[elphabathropp]

[Elphie is misinterpreting the look.]

Yes... it's real. Yes, I'm green.

[smellsofsulphur]

Hm? Oh - no, my dear, I was merely thinking you looked troubled.

[Soft smile.] But I shan't make you talk about anything you don't want to.

[elphabathropp]

People say I'm always too serious.

[In other words, she doesn't want to talk about it.]
