[Yeah don't for one second think she doesn't know who you are, anon.]

Is this where I point out there's a scroll function on the consoles?

[just don't look at the things that annoy you!]

[busted.

he rubs at the back of his neck looking positively sheepish.]

I know, I know. But they're still being idiots.

[She smiles wryly, holding up her thumb and forefinger an inch apart, admitting that they're maybe being idiots a little.]

There are better ways to chastise people.

[She also figures this isn't the true source of his annoyance, but she can wait to ask that.]

[His smile is... soft.]

So what would you recommend, sunshine?

[She returns the smile, then looks thoughtful]

I'm not great with computers, but maybe there's a way to make like - an unnofficial 'welcome to Keeliai' page that everyone can reach from their console. Could link to past posts that people have made, to save anyone asking the same question twice, and to save you from having to be a smartass at them.

[She wishes Babs or Proxy were here.]

I dunno, babe, I'm not sure reformed supervillains in training are supposed to be that helpful.

You are not a reformed supervillain. [She rolls her eyes to soften how serious she sounds about this.

She'll argue it forever, but doesn't want to be too pushy about it when they're just joking around]

Anyway, you're the one supposed to be all up to date with modern technology, surely you can handle it.

This is soooo not Facebook.

Does your internet experience really start and end with Facebook?

[judging u]

Well I had a myspace back when it was cool...

[... a beat.]

And my sister has a neopets account and it's like my obligatory big brother duty to make sure she's not visiting any porn roleplay logs or something because she is way too young for that shit.

... What the hell is a neopets?

[That's what she's taking away from everything he said.

Someone tell her it's "neopet".]

They're like... virtual animals you take care of and raise? Dunno, man, it's gotta be a girl thing.

You're a girl thing. [That doesn't even make sense but Steph has a sort of instinctive reaction to comments like that.]

[... okay, he laughs.]

Well, I'm a specific girl's thing, I guess. If you wanna be.

Uh. You know. Specific.

[After a moment, she laughs too, raising an eyebrow at his comment.]

Thing might be a bit, you know, dehumanising. [not denying the implication that he's hers, though.]

I think I can live with it. You know. For science.

[brandon what are you even saying I don't even think he knows at this point.]

I'm not sure where science comes into it.

[she has no idea either]

[He cracks a smile.]

Well I could talk about the roles that brain chemistry plays in attraction but I'd probably sound like an idiot.

Oh god please don't. [it sounds like something Tim would do, and she doesn't want to think about him too much now that he's here.

She wonders if she should... mention that....]

[a laugh.]

Since when did you get all science-phobic?

[She should probably mention Tim, it's the right thing to do, but Tim hasn't been subtle about being Bruce Wayne's kid, and Steph really doesn't need Brandon making any connection between her and Bruce. He's not stupid, and after finding her patched up at Bruce's, she's pretty sure he'd put two and two together.

So she just runs a hand through her hair, looking a little contrite]

Just ex-boyfriend things, I'm being an idiot.

Babe, you're never an idiot. It's no big deal.

That's giving me a free pass on a lot of things. You sure you wanna do that?

[She doesn't always make the smartest decisions lbr]

What doesn't kill me...?

Yeah, yeah. [She rolls her eyes, because she thinks that is a terrible idiom, but she's still grinning.] Just remember you won't be allowed to call me on any dumb shit I do in the future.
