[Well, that was even less fun than the whole accidentally-hexing-the-entire-Turtle-for-a-week incident.  Although, speaking of...]

[She's not quite as done as she was for her last announcement to her not-so-adoring fans, but there is a notable trace of both exhaustion and dryness to her tone as she leans back in her chair.  Arms folded and a smudge of the iridescent paint still visible on one cheek.]

For the record?  No, it wasn't me.

[Meaning the disappearances.]

[With that settled, she moves to turn off the console, although perceptive ears might be able to hear her mutter:]

Geez, one little mistake, and suddenly everything's always your fault....

I'm not really sure. Maybe it was a New York thing? [They have advanced screenings of everything in New York.] I just do what I'm told.

I'm from Manhattan.

[She just...wasn't born yet when the movie came out. Also, she didn't actually live full-time in the city until she was much older anyway.]

[langsyne]

Long Island, though I lived in Manhattan for awhile. [Wait, they're not actually comparing where they're from.] Maybe it was just before you were born.

[Although she doesn't look that much younger than Cassie.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

Probably. I mean, that movie came out in, what, the 90s?

video

[langsyne]

Sounds about right. [He doesn't really pay attention to Disney movie release dates.] Either way it was awhile ago.

video

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah, I was born in '96...and, even then, we didn't move to the city full time until much later.

[No strange midnight Disney showings for her. Alas.]

[langsyne]

[Clearly he'll have to orchestrate one on the turtle for her.]

It's a nice place. Way too crowded and the local newspapers suck but at least you could get anything you wanted without having to go very far. [Unlike this place.]

[backwordscompatible]

Hey, Vegas wasn't too bad, either.

Then again, I guess that depends on what you count as 'far'. When you can fly, even the Turtle seems a bit small in comparison.

[Dry look. Flight, huh?]

Is there anything you can't do?

video

[backwordscompatible]

Can I get back to you on that one?

video

[langsyne]

Sure thing. I take phone calls, text messages, and carrier pigeons.

video

[backwordscompatible]

Nah. Pigeons have too much attitude.

What about a carrier robin?

video

[langsyne]

[She better not be talking about any of the actual Robins.]

Only if it doesn't poop all over my windowsill.

video

[backwordscompatible]

[No. Not all of them. Just the ones she likes.]

I'll be sure to pass that message along.
