Private to Stephanie

[Kevin can't help his grin as he turns on the camera. He's already dressed to leave the ship and is fidgeting with the cuffs and collar of his suit. It's definitely not anything he's used to wearing.] Hey, Stephanie! You said you didn't want to stay here and we're at a port. It's not permanent but... It'd be some time off the Barge. It'll be fun.

Spam

[Kevin's been exploring as much of the fair as he can get to. He definitely needs spending money and he doesn't want to have to keep asking Jesse for more. The obvious solution is to hang out in the carnival area a bit and play with fire and paper. Everyone should just assume he's doing some kind of a trick, not magic, right? Besides, it's fun showing off what he can do. If he can make enough money, he'll buy one of those naked paintings over in that art building. If he makes more than that... Maybe he'll stay at a hotel instead of going back to the Barge overnight.]

[OOC: Feel free to run into Kevin anywhere in the fair. Just specify in the header.]

My mom didn't. Yvette usually stole them.

[ Tread a little harder why don't you, Steph? ]

So they're, like, common in your New York? I'm just trying to wrap my head around a place where weather magic is a thing that doesn't involve tights and a crime-fighting persona.

[fire_punk]

Not really. But they look mostly human so if they're free... And they're no real use to anyone without powers.

Tights? [He laughs.] No, more like suits.

[ichoosefight]

[ Still sounds weird, bu she figures she's pushed her luck enough already. ]

Ooh, sketchy businessmen. My favorite.

spam

[fire_punk]

Businessmen? [Where did that come from?]

spam

[ichoosefight]

People in suits. They all look like businessmen.

spam

[fire_punk]

Oh. [He shrugs.] Maybe. I never really knew any.

spam

[ichoosefight]

Me neither. That's why I can joke about them.

spam

[fire_punk]

Why couldn't you if you did?

spam

[ichoosefight]

Well that would just be rude, now wouldn't it? [ 100% joking. ]

spam

[fire_punk]

So? Who cares?

spam

[ichoosefight]

Kevin, dear. [ She plants a hand on his shoulder. ]

Has anyone told you you're a very straightforward boy?

spam

[fire_punk]

No. [He hesitates.] Is that a bad thing?

spam

[ichoosefight]

[ She smiles again, but this time it's just a sweet, affectionate smile. No teasing now. ]

Actually it's kinda cute.

spam

[fire_punk]

Cute, huh? [He's not sure what he thinks of that. He's not a puppy or a little kid but she seems to mean it as a compliment.]

spam

[ichoosefight]

Yeah. I think I've had enough secrets and lies for one lifetime, and I haven't exactly got another one yet.

[ Since this is obviously a date, she is only thinking of him in boyfriend-material terms. ]

spam

[fire_punk]

I was kind of a secret before I died. [At least Yvette and Bad Bob had made sure no one knew he as still alive after his dad died.]

spam

[ichoosefight]

Me too. [ She tried again to shove her hands in her pockets. God she misses jeans. ]

Apparently my death made the news. Mom didn't even know I was still wearing masks. Hell of a way to find out.

[ She turns away, unwilling to let him see the grief on her face at the thought of her mother back home. ]

spam

[fire_punk]

Mom and Dad are already dead. [At least they won't be missing him.] My stepmother killed me, so... [He shrugs.]

spam

[ichoosefight]

I guess we're both on our own now, huh?

[ She doesn't plan on going back. Ever. ]

spam

[fire_punk]

I guess. Except Jesse.

[He's not planning to go back, either.]

spam

[ichoosefight]

[ She chuckles at that. ]

Yeah. I can't lose Dean and Iris even when I want to.

[ And there's something very nice about that. ]

spam

[fire_punk]

Yeah? Dean's pretty cool. [He's not sure what he thinks of Iris.]

spam

[ichoosefight]

He's pretty nosy is what he is.

spam

[fire_punk]

[He can't help laughing at that.] No way.
