Sooo I am guessing that popping up in this place is the norm here, right? So are the freebies, which are really nice of these guys to offer. I'm guessing that this isn't earth though, so I can't exactly IM a location.

Not that I have my phone with me. [Oh boy. Hopefully dad won't freak... or the guys... or--- yeah okay, hopefully no one notices. On the plus side, not the Reach. On the down side, not Earth either.]

Anyway, little warning for the guys I'm sharing a place with. Hi, I'm Traci, if you find a strange girl coming into your home, don't be weirded out okay? I swear I come in peace. I have a peace offering too!

But wow, this place is a lot different from where I've been. I even saw a feathered cow on the way. [Wait, hold on, getting derailed.] I-- oookay, I had a reason to chat on this thing. So hi again, nice to meet you all. Any chance a lovely person out there would be willing to give me a second tour of the place? And maybe a history lesson, since I think I got the basics down, but I'm most likely missing a ton of things I need to know.

That's about it, I think. Thanks for any help I could get.

[... So her other guide may have left out the turtle part of it all.]

Hold on---turtle?

[notdreaming]

Turtle, yes. Tu Vishan. [ Bad guide, bad. ]

[urbanmagic]

... So we're on an actual giant turtle.

That's new. I've held turtles, but I've never been on one. [This probably wasn't the weirdest thing she's experienced, which is the only reason it barely bugs her. Kinda cool though.]

[notdreaming]

I had never seen a turtle before coming here, much less one this big.

[urbanmagic]

Not from Earth then, I take it?

Also, I'm outside the housing complex in what they told me was the Metal sector. Does that make it easier to spot?

video;

[notdreaming]

No, I'm from Krypton. I was only on Earth for a couple of weeks before I was brought here.

[urbanmagic]

[Krypton---] You mean like Superman? Are you related to him?

[notdreaming]

[ She brightens. She always loves meeting people who know Kal. ]

Yes, he's my cousin.

[urbanmagic]

[Well, she's not Superboy or Cir-El so...]

Supergirl, right? This would be the first time I'm meeting you in person.

Talk about a weird place for it.

[notdreaming]

It's really just Kara. [ She will never get used to people calling her Supergirl. ]

I know there are people with secret identities but I don't really need one.

[urbanmagic]

Oh thank you for clarifying that, saves me the awkward of trying to figure out when you're in secret ID mode or civvie mode.

video;

[notdreaming]

Civvie? [ There's a word she's never heard before.

Kinda figures that Damian's the one that taught her about secret identities. ]

video;

[urbanmagic]

Civilian clothing, or just plain civilian. With the whole secret identity thing going on.

video;

[notdreaming]

Oh. [ She nods her understanding. ] I only have a civilian identity, in that case.

video;

[urbanmagic]

Always did prefer that. So Kara, should we go for that tour now?

video;

[notdreaming]

Yeah, sure! I'll come find you. Don't be scared when I knock.

[ Because it'll be like, one second. ]

video;

[urbanmagic]

[Give a girl a longer warning, won't you?

That startles Traci, but she does end up opening the door anyway because

whoa, she forgot about the whole super speed thing.] Hey there, that was fast. One day I will have you teach me how to do that.

video;

[notdreaming]

[ Kara smiles sheepishly. Patience is for old people. ]

Oh, it's easy. First you have to wake up on a planet you've never heard of with strange new powers. Then you just run as fast as you can and try really hard not to run into anything.

video;

[urbanmagic]

[...]

Well, that's one definition of easy. I got the waking up on a different planet part down, at least.

viideo;

[notdreaming]

[ She chuckles teasingly. ]

I forgot to mention you also have to be Kryptonian.

video;

[urbanmagic]

I kind of figured that out from the description. Guess I'll have to rely on good old-fashioned walking.

[notdreaming]

Or I could fly you, if you want to see the whole turtle in less than a week.

[urbanmagic]

I don't think I'd make a very good Jasmine, but I'll take you up on the offer next time. Right now, I'm more interested in stretching my legs and getting familiar with the new place.

[notdreaming]

Next time, maybe.

Um, who's Jasmine?

[urbanmagic]

Never heard of Aladdin? It's a classic.

Shall we head for that tour?
