I've got some of it jammed in my head now, more than before at least. But I still wasn't paying much attention.

[takingkarabusiness]

And now you have everyone else's pop culture to keep up with, too.

[nostraightlines]

I wonder how much people's cultures here really overlap. Some worlds are just so different I know they wouldn't at all, but others sound a lot like mine before the plague.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's part of the infinite earths thing, I guess. Things diverge at different points.

[nostraightlines]

Some people's worlds here don't even have Earth, though. So there must be different universes too.

[takingkarabusiness]

That makes sense to me, too. It's not like Earth has a special time barrier or anything.

[nostraightlines]

What do you mean by time barrier?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just saying words. But I guess I mean, the universe doesn't actually revolve around Earth. It wouldn't be the only thing affected.

[nostraightlines]

I do wonder a little if it exists and they just haven't found it yet. Like we haven't explored the galaxy where I'm from. We might have a Krypton out there somewhere.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe. I hope so.

[nostraightlines]

[ He smiles, reaching out and taking her arm again. ]

I bet there is.

Come on, let's buy these and find a clothes store.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ links arms and leans against him slightly for a moment ]

I'll get these.

[nostraightlines]

[ Not protesting, either the leaning or stone-buying. ]

Sure. You probably make more than I do, anyway. Or does everyone get the same regardless of how interesting we are?

[takingkarabusiness]

I try not to think about it. But you're interesting.

[nostraightlines]

You're biased. I mostly keep to myself, it probably doesn't make for the best entertainment.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I don't know that that's such a bad thing.

[nostraightlines]

Being quiet or not being watched?

[takingkarabusiness]

All of it? The money is nice. The drama is not.

[ she pays for their goods and heads out towards other shops ]

[nostraightlines]

Yeah I've got enough drama in my life back home, I'm not looking to make more here. Though I guess most people would say that.

[ masks back on, ugh. they shouldn't have much trouble finding clothes shops, though, and kara on his arm makes up for the annoying thing on his face. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, it'd be nice if this was a drama-free vacation, but here I am.

[ it probably doesn't take long? they might not have the vastest selection but there's a place that kind of looks promising ]

[nostraightlines]

You're not as dramatic as you seem to think you are.

[ In! And he's looking around for anything that might be sleepwear. Or regular wear... since he's really only got the jumpsuits and underclothes. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Picking through things, sometimes picking up a shirt and sizing it up against him, occasionally handing them over for him to try on without discussion ]

Well, sure, it could be worse, but it feels like a lot to me.

[nostraightlines]

...are you dressing me?

[ He's smiling; it reminds him of Sheva when they would go shopping together. And he's not picky -- she's selecting more color than he would on his own but it's all stuff he would wear. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ mid shirt-holding-up ]

Should I not be? Sorry, the whole assistant thing is strong.

[nostraightlines]

No, go for it. Do my work for me.

[ He takes the shirt she was holding up, folding it over his arm with the rest. ]

I can afford to start a wardrobe at this point. The jumpsuits aren't my favorite thing.
