[There's a deep, throaty voice coming through. Can you hear her? She has a wry voice with a dry tone.] Well, Nura, this is another fine situation you've gotten into... Death wasn't enough for you, so now you're here...and talking to yourself. ...I'm as bad as Querl.

[There is a sighing sound, as Nura adjusts her mood.] So then...I am stuck here. For sure. Although, I do believe, not for long. Sorry to disappoint everyone of the beautiful land of... [she seems to be fighting the urge to scoff.] Garden.

But the Legion needs me back home and my husband will blow up the Lab Complex again if I'm not there to make Lyle monitor him. So if you [she seems to be talking to someone near her - probably the cat] could please direct me to the way home, I won't be a bother.

[A long pause, followed by Nura sighing, resigned.] Well, fine. I guess I can stay a little while you aren't giving me much of a choice if only because I can't get my flight ring to communicate with home, or else, I'd be gone.

Well I don't think--wait.

Stephanie Brown?

Er. Yes?

Ohmygod, please don't tell me that one of my great-great-great-great-etc-grandkids did something really stupid.

You're in a history book. Back home.

Okay, preparing to be really creeped out in five, four, three, two—

What the hell? Also, is this a conversation we should be having in public? Er, pulic-ish?

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Why? I won't reveal who you are. That goes against the code.

voice;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Saying that you won't reveal who I am suggests that there's something to reveal! Which there isn't! At all!

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Suuuuuuuure.

There are like twenty-four Stephanie Browns in Gotham, y'know.

Who just said what you said, in, I quote, a worried, very concerned voice of "saying that you won't reveal who I am suggests that there's something to reveal. Added to "which there isn't!"

As plain as a blush on a child's face.

Okay. So a Stephanie Brown is in a history book. How'd she die?

That's not— I mean, don't answer that. Ever.

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

I won't.

It's as bad as asking how I died.

voice;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh, you “died”? Join the club.

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yes. Right. The history books mentioned that.

voice;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

...

Fantastic.

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Mhmmm.

voice;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Okay. Thanks for the mindscrew. Really, it's been lovely.

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to upset you, Stephanie.

voice;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, okay.

Now this is the part where we both back away from this conversation.

voice;

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Fine with me.

[And she leaves to go investigate.]
