Would you rather I talk about the weather or whatever? Cuz that's booooring.

Someone like me hrm? You mean someone fun and not scared of grumpy types. [She takes out a pack of cigarettes from her jacket pocket and offers him one.]

[nomorefear]

Gotham has pretty interesting weather.

Jesus fuck, I'm not... [Deep breath.] I'm not a grumpy type, ok? You're just pissing me off. And you're doing it on purpose cause you wanna prove that you're right about me.

[gravity_grrl]

Gotham, huhn? Never been. Does it like, rain blood or something weird like that?

Yeah I've been told I'm good at it. Here, want one?

We can start over if you want, my new word for you would be cute.

[nomorefear]

You're in it now. And...yeah. Sometimes blood, sometimes purple rain.

Guess everyone's got that one thing they're real good at.

[He snags one, cause why not. He deserves it after this.]

Cute?

[gravity_grrl]

Omg seriously? Like the song?!!! That's kind of awesome!

Hey I'm also good at other things, like shopping and nails.

Yeah.

[nomorefear]

It was actually pretty awesome, yeah.

Wow, so riveting.

...Thanks. Is this laced with poison?

[He holds up the cigarette.]

[gravity_grrl]

I love purple, it's my fave color. And not just because it's the color of my eyes.

[She shows off her elaborate nails.] Uh yeah, it is. Look at these!

Omg no!
Just all the normal ones, I promise. So what's yer name?

[nomorefear]

That tracks.

Ok-- those are pretty decent. How do you get anything done with those, though?

Got a lighter, then?

[Seriously, who offers a cigarette without a lighter?]

Jason.

[gravity_grrl]

You get used to them, plus they're great for fights.

Oh yeah.
Here.

[She digs into her other pocket and pulls out a lighter and flicks a flame for him.]

I'm Roxy.

[nomorefear]

Not for making fists, that's for fucking sure.

[He's not actually a smoker, so after the first two drags which leave him lightheaded, he hands it over to her.]

Is this where I'm supposed to say 'Nice to meet you?'

[gravity_grrl]

No but they're great for scratching. In fights and on scalps.

[She takes it back and takes a long drag on it.]

Nah, you ain't gotta say that.

[nomorefear]

I'm not really a scratcher.

Good, cause that's not really my thing.

[gravity_grrl]

Your ever had your scalp scratched? Like all nice and gentle?

I kind of figured.
So does this Gotham place have any other weird things in it?

[nomorefear]

No.

A lot of weird things. You ever watch the news?

[gravity_grrl]

Aw you're missing out, it's like when you go to the salon and they wash your hair and dig in real deep.

Nah not really.

[nomorefear]

They dig their nails into our head?

Fine, do you read news on Twitter?

[gravity_grrl]

No, but it's like that feeling y'know? A nice deep scritching.

Uhhhh no. I'm not on Twitter, I mostly stick to Instagram or Tiktok.

[nomorefear]

I guess?

Same fucking difference, then. I'm sure Gotham's on there too. The city's viral at least once a week.

[gravity_grrl]

C'mere. I'll show you.

It might be but my stuff is pretty curated to really only be cute cats, fashion, nails and more cute cats.

[nomorefear]

No thanks.

So you shut out the problems of the world and focus on cats and nails. That's definitely one way to do it.

[gravity_grrl]

Fiiiiiiiiiine.

Hey I deal with heavy shit all the time, when I go on my phone I want cute distractions. I have that right.

[nomorefear]

You can't just go around scratching random stranger's heads, dude.

Never said you didn't. I said, that's one way to do it.

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah but yer not a stranger anymore. [She counters with a grin and stubs out her cigarette.]

What do you look at online when yer stressed? Let me guess.....cooking videos?

[nomorefear]

You don't really know shit about me. I could be a killer.

...I do not. I listen to music.

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah and so could I.

Ooooooooooh what kind of music?
