Hey Laurel, I have some stuff to update you on. Hope you're doing okay!

- I'm helping Donna run the Community Center since Dick left
- Lena went home and left me her lab (seriously why do people keep giving me labs) and I'd like to turn it into sort of a training center for folks with powers. Do you want to help run combat lessons with Sara?
- Sara and I have a new loft in the Up which you're welcome to visit any time when you get permission

Hey, Barry. I am okay, thanks for asking.

I'm glad the Community Center is still going. It's so important.

Lena has left it in good hands. I will miss her though. She was a good friend and helped me not long after I first arrived.

I'd love to help run some combat lessons. I can work around my job schedule with that - just let me know what the hours will be.

A loft? That's amazing. Of course I'm gonna check it out when I can!!

Good, I'm glad to hear it.

It is. I'm absolutely sure we could use your help, too, if you're still interested.

I'm sure she would have said goodbye personally if she could have. I've had a few of my friends here suddenly disappear back home, it's never easy.

Excellent, I'll let Sara know. Actually, you should come tell her yourself because she got banged up. Maybe ask the network if someone will give you permission or escort you?

Banged up? What the hell was she doing? It mustn’t be too serious if she is just resting at the moment - I promise not to yell at her by the way, but maybe I’ll have a stern word.

I’m sure I could ask one of my bosses for permission, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Did you find Sara or were you both out together, doing whatever it was she was doing?

She and someone named K were fighting nightmare versions of themselves. He's fine, he brought her home and I found her laid up in bed.

Wait, K? I've met him. Back in Insincerity -I helped him set up a tent at the campsite. Seemed like a nice guy so I'm glad she wasn't alone.

Thanks, Barry.

He is, he even stayed to make sure she was looked after.

Any time, really. This place isn't as consistently dangerous as back home, but it still happens every now and then.

The every now and again is enough to worry me. I want to be more proactive.

I arrived in my vigilante gear - maybe there's a reason why I did.

hey, I heard you needed a contract.
me too.

[ It takes her a moment to look at the username and make a connection - they've communicated before. ]

Hey. Alec, right? Yeah, I do need one. Pretty much a few days from being hauled to the Zoo.

You okay with hashing out the details via text?

Yeah, that's me.

Same deal. As someone who has been to the people zoo, you don't want to waste time in that place.

Fine with it. How about you start with your general list of yes and no - do and don't and I'll hit you back with mine.

Then I'm glad I can help you out too.

Okay, a list. I've definitely thought about a list before so this won't take too long. Just give me a sec.

[Laurel takes a moment to retrieve a list she made on her device, sending it to him in a second message.]

- Let me keep my job and allow me to pursue other jobs if I can apply.
- I can see who I want - friends, family, but I'll still be contactable if something is up.
- Let me continue my work at the community centre. I volunteer there.
- I'll respect your space and your boundaries. I expect you to do the same for me.
- I won't cause you any trouble, like get sent to jail or make you pay a fine.
- I'd like us to be on friendly terms and get to know each other.
- Quota isn't a necessary part of the contract but I will leave that open to discussion if it's something we can revisit in the future.

That all looks good to me.
When can draft up the contract and get our names on it.

The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned.

It's funny you mention that, because there was a photo of me in my underwear that appeared on the finder. I honestly didn't take it. So it's gotta be a fake.

But at least no one is alone when it comes to things like this.

We're all in this crappy, leaky, half-sunken boat together.

You know, that is a very apt description of this city, Caitlin. I have no notes.

[ ooc: from here ]

Public housing, yeah. I could use a decent cup of coffee and some conversation - it's always nice to meet new people. I'm also okay with the flirting by the way. I'm going to take it as a compliment so it's definitely not dumb.

Where's your preferred coffee place?

It is a compliment. This place just gets so goddamn boring and I think I'm very funny by flirting obnoxiously I like Les Beans. Because look, it's named after me.

Les Beans? Oh, it's great! I thought the name was funny when I saw it for the first time.

Okay, so we got the venue sorted. When's the best time and day for you to meet up?

Let's do Saturday afternoon. 3?

Yep, that works for me. I'll see you then.

[it's a date!]

[ ooc: from here ]

A routine is important to me. When I first arrived here, I didn't know what I was going to do to fill up my time, but I figured it out.

I think I need to see more than a glimpse. To make it even, I'll give you more than a glimpse of me in return.

Just let me know when you're free.

It's been the same for me. I like having that schedule and doing the things I know well. Like the gym.

Oh you can definitely see everything you want. I'm more than willing to play that game.
Because for you, I'll make the time. Tomorrow morning?

Tomorrow morning is perfect. I like a guy who is willing to make time for me. Apart from that, I just like you in general.

Where should I meet you, Kyle? I don’t mind being flexible with the location.

Glad to hear it. You're definitely someone to make time for though.

I tend to go for a run on the beach and use the gym at the community center. I'm willing to adjust either of those.
And promise to run at human speed if we do go for a run.

I'm going to hold you to that promise, Kyle.

We can meet at the community centre for a bit and then go for a run. How does that sound?

Sounds perfect to me. It'll be good to have someone to work out with.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to getting started with you.
