Cars make travel on the ground a whole lot easier. Some of 'em go crazy fast.
[ her head turns as they are faced with a delightful fleet of speedy luxury cars to test drive!!! smiling at her: ] Find one you like and we'll hop in.
and yeah, rita might not have any car experiences to compare to, but she's looking around at the interior and feeling the rumble of the engine with fascination and excitement.]
[ well that definitely felt like a million years. jolyne is just going to be meandering the library with some comic books in her arms and a cup of coffee in the other hand. but when she sees rita she will probably beeline it over. ]
Rita is holding a kitten with more affection than she has shown anything, ever. There's a look of pure joy on her face, and it looks like she doesn't realize anyone else is here to see it.]
Yeah, I agree with you on that. I think she might be uncomfortable talking about it, if anything... kids can be a little sensitive about that sort of thing.
I know it's hard to have an empty slot where info's supposed to go, though. Especially when people's lives are on the line.
[ i am here i missed my ping i am a clown. jolyne just lowers her green, star-shaped sunglasses to see rita giving so much love to this kitty. she can't help but smile a bit as she inches her way over to where the lizards are. ]
[help, she gives a start and turns red very quickly.]
N, no!
I mean...
[the kitten also gives a start, but then decides that this change in mood has signaled that it is playtime, so it starts trying to climb up onto rita's shoulder.]
[ she will head out to find rita a little while after everyone has had a bit of time to settle. it's still maybe sort of surreal? considering it all? but it's fine, definitely fine? ]
[ beach time! jolyne is here with a netted bag just walking along the beach and collecting some shells as she goes! she's very serious about her appraisal of these things, looking into each.
hmm... this one's boring... this one's—eek! sorry! sorry! that's your home, little crab!
but she'll see rita and give a small wave of her hand. ]
[ after investigations, rita's just sitting on the edge of the dock, her legs dangling over the water, with the newspaper in hand. it doesn't look like she went far after checking out the laser tag building. ]

[She looks a little awed as she watches them nyoom along the track.]
I really want to take one apart and see how it works...
no subject
Date: 2023-09-19 01:31 am (UTC)I wonder if there's like a service area or something for the cars. You could probably see under the hood there, maybe...
[ thoughtfully ]
You wanna go for a ride in one at least? They go pretty fast...

Date: 2023-09-19 05:17 pm (UTC)We don't have anything like these vehicles where I'm from, but if I can figure out how they work, maybe I can develop something similar.

Well, my lips are sealed. I appreciate you showing me them, though.
And thanks for the list. Gathering everyone's powers can be a little tricky here, huh.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-01 02:28 am (UTC)[she looks surprised at that. and maybe even grateful.]
Studying magic is what I do, so I suppose I've actually enjoyed looking into it... when the people in question aren't being annoying, that is.
