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.

Shrug. Only the barest of the furrows of the brow, because she's getting used to the pain. "Why not?"

[alicornucopia]

"That's not a reason."

[msglam]

"Because I want to. Because I like having friends. Because I think we could be good friends, and I think that might make you happier. Because it'll make me happier."

[alicornucopia]

Boots sighs.

"You already know my name."

[msglam]

"I do! What do you like to do, James?"

[alicornucopia]

"Nothing lately. Can't do wrestling anymore. Had to fake an injury."

[msglam]

"Oh. That sucks. I've never wrestled."

[alicornucopia]

"No shit."

[msglam]

She laughs. "That obvious, huh. I mostly like running."

[alicornucopia]

"I can't do that either. Not out of costume, I mean."

[msglam]

"Are there rules about doing that in costume during your free time?"

[alicornucopia]

"There are if the Youth fucking Guard thinks I'm patrolling when they cut down all our hours."

[msglam]

"Wow, that's so fucking dumb. Goddamn pricks."

[alicornucopia]

"Don't have to tell me twice," snorts Boots.

[msglam]

"And of course if we tell them we're not patrolling they don't believe us, 'cause of course they know more about our fucking lives than we do."

[alicornucopia]

"Ah-huh."

[msglam]

Sigh.

"...you know, if you feel like running, I could maybe conjure platforms out at sea and we could go to uninhabited areas inland. Somewhere the YG can't really follow, or know about."

[alicornucopia]

"The sea and inland?" blinks Boots.

[msglam]

"Yeah, like, you probably run pretty fast, so we could go the long way around, north or south, until we weren't off any city's proper shore?"

[alicornucopia]

"Oh. Maybe. I dunno how the Youth Guard finds out things they find out."

[msglam]

"Yeah, I dunno either. Could prolly keep Ki flying around keeping an eye out for anyone looking our way or some such."

[alicornucopia]

"You're still gonna do the two people thing? Now?"

[msglam]

"...I actually hadn't given it much thought, yet. Maybe? I'm not sure if it'd hurt or help or what. Dunno if there's much point."

[alicornucopia]

"So maybe don't do the critter."

[msglam]

"Yeah, maybe not."
