text; this is literally the stupidest thing I have ever written I'm so sorry

[fightingale]

Sara, I do try not to be precious about Orlesian culture, I do, because Orlais is a dangerous place, but I think

( oh, merde, her thumb slipped and she sent the message. back to her rage: )

They butchered our language! I'm not even really Orlesian and this is terrible! How could anyone listen to this?

c'est la vie - b*witched.mp3


( and then, maybe a minute later, )

Laurel, I appear to have made a mistake in my haste. I promise I'm not always so

( how does she continue oh maker preserve her )

Do you like music?

( nice recovery )

text, to end } lmao it's perfect

[prosecutorial]

[Okay, this is adorable, and Laurel is incredibly endeared. She also never thought she would have flashbacks to nineties pop but here we are.]

We're Americans and it was the nineties.

[That's the only real explanation she has for that.]

And I do like music.

[fightingale]

( she was literally just sitting with her head in her hands until she got a reply back, tbqh )

America seems to be home to so many curious things. Peter was explaining bleachers and cheer teams to me, just recently.

Good! I'm actually a minstrel at home, or I used to be. I've been trying to educate myself by listening to as much as I possibly can and taking notes on themes and concepts and words that are unfamiliar so I can endeavour to be less bamboozled by things from different worlds. Did you know "Waterloo" is considered one of the best songs ever sung at the Eurovision song contest?

( Leliana: she knows about Greek mythology and the Eurovision song contest, she's still mastering texting. )

[There's a pause on the other end as Laurel considers before she has to ask.]

You mean the ABBA song? It's never been my favorite but I can see why it would be popular.

[from here]

[She gives a small shrug, before shaking her head.]

Maybe I've been in the Star City legal system for too long, but ... if these people have the power to make all these changes for us, I wonder sometimes how much they really need us to keep the city going.

[fightingale]

Yes! I find some of their music a little


not quite to my tastes? but Waterloo was interesting. War does not make for a terribly healthy romantic comparison, but certainly an intriguing one.

[prosecutorial]

Agreed. Personally, I'm not really a fan either, but my dad was in secret. He tried to deny it, but when you know all the words to "Take a Chance on Me" it's hard to say that you're not.

[shrinkage]

No, that's-- that's smart. It's important to be critical, especially because of what you're saying.

[ especially especially because people like ray are all too willing to dive in head first. ]

Have you started looking at anything specific, yet?

[fightingale]

Ah, denial. Bless his heart.

Did he know the dance, as well?

[prosecutorial]

[She shakes her head.]

Still settling in. I've been spending a lot of time at the museums and the university but so far that's just given me more questions than answers. Thankfully, the city administration seems to be pretty open so I'll probably head over to ask them eventually.

[prosecutorial]

Not that he's shown us. Hopefully he never will - last I checked, my dad had too left feet.

[shrinkage]

That's encouraging. And you can tell me if I'm asking too many questions, by the way. My brain tends to scramble when I don't know the city I'm living in from the inside out.

[ and while he's read as much as he could in the short time he's been in eudio... ]

And it's nice to get a home field perspective.

[fightingale]

Hope springs eternal, I suppose. Maybe you'll be lucky and he will reveal himself to be a truly spectacular dancer, secretly.

[prosecutorial]

That it is.

[She pauses for a moment before lifting up with a small smile.]

I do, however, know a great Chinese place not too far from here, if you're hungry.

[prosecutorial]

If he does, I will let you know.

[leaguer]

Hey, sis.

Don't be freaked out if you can't get a hold of me for a little while — I'm going back for a few days to try getting caught up to speed with everything that Snart and Rory have told me happens in my future. Not knowing everything for sure has been driving me nuts.

I'll send you a message whenever I get back so I can drop by.

♥

[prosecutorial]

[And because she has no idea what she's walking into:]

Okay. Be careful back there. I'll see you when you get back.

[Hopefully things won't be too crazy back there but she knows how their world can get.]

[shrinkage]

[ ray lights up. ]

Now that you mention it, I'm starving.

[ he moves first, sort of accustomed to having to get out of people's way-- he gives laurel the room to lead on, and will follow happily after her. ]

Is it weird that I didn't expect a place like this to have coffee shops and Chinese restaurants?

[prosecutorial]

[She shakes her head, as she leads the way back out of the apartment towards the street.]

First thing I asked was for good places to eat and Bamboozled was one of the recommendations that did not disappoint. But it's true, I didn't expect it to be so normal here.

[shrinkage]

[ ray pretty much lopes along-- attention seemingly split between laurel and their surroundings, but he multitasks well and listens quite carefully. ]

Yeah! And I don't want to make it seem like I'm disappointed, because I'm so not. But I think I made up like a Tommorowland type idea. Something more ... obviously otherworldly?

[prosecutorial]

I totally get what you mean.

[And with that, they will go off for awesome Chinese and friendly chatting! /scene]

[picksthenames]

[ Laurel gets two snapchats in quick succession: ]

      

[prosecutorial]

Oh my God. Where is this happening?

[picksthenames]

all over the city apparently. he goes on patrols.

he actually looks disturbingly good in shorts??

[prosecutorial]

Speaking as someone who's dated him, Oliver has a way of looking disturbingly good in a lot of things. Benefits of being gifted with good looks.
