brockton bay, meet glam

[mxglam]

It's the anniversary. Glam would very much not like to celebrate.

It’s their last day on Winslow High - they’re being transferred to Arcadia on Monday - and also their last day without a patrol schedule assigned.

And the PRT released a small announcement on its website about Glam joining the Wards. Now their wiki page doesn’t get erased, of course - they’re no longer speculative. They wonder what it’s got on them.

"Well but they have to, don't they? 'Cause of the protective custody thing?"

[thinkering]

"Yes, but they're not going to go out of their way to give your parents a complete up to date account of the entire thing, and anyway the protective custody is going through the regular police."

[peterxy]

"Yeah, okay, that's better."

[thinkering]

"If you're not attending Arcadia and want to transfer email the deputy director about it and he'll handle it. We're currently short a Branding person but you can get an okay on your costume and name from the Boston one, who we are borrowing remotely until they find and hire a suitable replacement. There's a handbook on your desk, which you should at least consider reading. Any other questions?"

[peterxy]

"Do I get an official welcome, a prank, or something like that? This feels kinda underwhelming."

[thinkering]

"Official welcomes happen when all hands are on deck and will also be underwhelming. There is not an established prank tradition but I bet Glam would be delighted to think of something if you feel under-hazed."

[peterxy]

She laughs. "I think I'm okay for now, then."

[thinkering]

"Okay. Let me or any of my bots know if you need anything."

[peterxy]

"Mmhm! So now if I just leave and go to my parents and grab my stuff and come back I won't be attacked by the PRT, right?"

[thinkering]

"You're not supposed to leave in costume because you haven't been cleared by Branding and Piggot wants you to make yourself scarce while she puts something together to deal with Lung. You can leave out of costume."

[peterxy]

"Okay!" She removes her mask, revealing a smiling girl with dark hair in a pixie cut.

[thinkering]

"If you need to borrow some clothes you're not that far off my size, I don't know if you brought an outfit or you have one on under the costume."

[peterxy]

"I have running shorts and a tank top on."

[thinkering]

"Okay, then you're all set. When you're more settled in let me know when would be convenient to talk your general strategic contributions to the team and patrol scheduling for when you're cleared."

[peterxy]

"Alright!"

She continues removing her costume to reveal aforementioned running shorts and tank top.

[thinkering]

And Lorica leaves her be and sends messages to all the Wards that she's on board.
