Okay. The Queen's latest mess has been cleaned up. Nobody's dead. Some of us have medals. [ Not that Batgirl got a medal, despite nearly being eaten by half a dozen vampire plants. Vampants? Planpires? Lame. This is why they should've been Frankenplants. ] That's fantastic. Seriously, thanks to everyone who helped out through healing, fighting, and defence strategies. It's great to know that if we never need to stage an emergency barbecue, apparently, we have the fire power to pull it off.

Of course, now that we're in the calm-after-the-last-storm-but-before-the-next-one-that's-gonna-suck-even-more, there's not much to do but sit and reflect. Y'know, on how we're trapped in another world, and everyone back home either thinks we're dead or missing or worse. I mean, me being here just proves everyone right about me – that I can't see anything through, blah blah, failure – and I've even let Babs down.

Not that I'm looking for free therapy or anything. I just want everyone to know that I hate the downtime as much as the almost-eaten-by-Eldritch-horrors time.

... You are a very sweet child. [Kisses her on the forehead.] Please don't tell Amérique about this, we don't need her getting any more ideas.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ] Don't worry. We can keep this between us. You can be the Mary Jane to my animal-themed shenanigans.

[sororite]

I have no idea who that is. Mais, oui, very well.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh, some comic book character who knew her boyfriend or husband or something was the Human Spider. They kept it on the down low. [ ] Thanks, though. Seriously. You were right about ranting – it was cathartic.

[sororite]

[Boyfriend, huh...] I'm always right, ma petite.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I'll never doubt you again!

[sororite]

If only everyone else were as bright as you, then.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

The world would be a better place.

How about you? Anything you wanna get off your chest?

[sororite]

[Brings her knees up to her chest and stretches her arms out in front of her.] Mm, non, nothing really. I'm afraid I'm not a very secretive person. [That's kind of a lie.]

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Then you don't run around at night in a leather catsuit, stealing jewels from the Queen?

[sororite]

Oh, not regularly. Or not in leather, at least. And not from a Queen, exactly. [The lengths one French woman will go to torment an English woman...]

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sounds like there's a story behind that.

[sororite]

It's not as if she was even wearing that necklace, I don't know why she even noticed it was missing that quickly...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh. Do I wanna know who this she was?

[sororite]

You might have met her already. A temperamental young woman, with glasses and pigtails. Horrible cooking, very annoying voice.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about an annoying voice, but England definitely has glasses and pigtails—and with the history between you two, I'm kinda thinking you might be hinting at her.

[sororite]

She's always been a troublesome girl... [Where as France was always nothing but sunshine, flowers and sweetness.] Don't listen to a word she says about me.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Aw, c'mon, she seemed nice enough. [ ] She fussed over me like a mom, and didn't say a bad word about you.

[sororite]

Oh, oui, she does do that. Kidnapper. [But, wait...] ... Nothing?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

'kay, so she didn't say anything about you. That's just as good, right?

[sororite]

[Now, you see, despite popular belief, the universe actually revolves around France. Everyone is always thinking of her at every moment and she is an important aspect of everyone's life.

So how dare England take a break from bitching about her?!]

Well, then. I won't say anything bad about her either. [Take that, England!]

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ]

I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

[sororite]

[Probably for the best.]

... No matter how much of a disagreeable bitch she really is.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ] Then maybe you shouldn't be stealing her necklaces!

[sororite]

She started it. [Probably. The most mature!!]
