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.

[takingkarabusiness]

I take a fee, you know.

[ but she's going to keep going ]

You don't have to buy everything, but it's worth looking at.

[nostraightlines]

What's your fee?

[ He learned from Eudio that when you have the opportunity you should try stuff on and get the ones that fit best, yes. So he'll keep collecting the things she picks out and go through them all. He hasn't vetoed anything yet, trusting her taste and apparent sizing abilities. ]
