Now this is...promising.

I don't expect we're able to direct calls to those of our choosing?

[ ... She points her computer's webcam at the office window, which quite clearly shows a lovely Gotham skyline. ]

The side overlooking the park.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Ah.

You are not my current warden.

[ichoosefight]

Warden?

[ Give her a moment to let that sink in. ]

Oh my gosh, she graduated? That's great!

[keeps_a_cool_head]

...Obviously.

[ichoosefight]

So, how are things? [ Her tone is like she's asking about the ~new boyfriend~. ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

You ask, as if your counterpart has not told you everything already.

[ichoosefight]

I haven't talked to her yet.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I would think that would have been your first stop.

[ichoosefight]

I told you, we can't control it from this side. You literally just popped up on my computer.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Convenient of the Admiral, though I can't see the point of it. Shall I convey a message to your other self for you?

[ichoosefight]

Nah, that's okay. If she's graduated I think I've meddled in her life enough.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Kind and considerate of you. I'd hardly expect that behavior from her.

[ichoosefight]

That seems a little harsh.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Whatever led you to believe I wasn't a harsh person?

[ichoosefight]

Seeing as how I just met you, I'd have to say "because it's socially expected?"

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I rarely do anything socially expected of me. I believe your counterpart would say the same of herself.

[ichoosefight]

Can't argue with that. You two really aren't getting along?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

We don't see eye to eye on an incredible number of things.

[ichoosefight]

Hum. Let me guess. Can't agree on a lesson plan?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Precisely. Among other things.

[ichoosefight]

Been there, done that. My experience is that plans don't tend to pan out on the barge.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Neither hers, nor mine.

A pity.

[ichoosefight]

All the more reason to get the heck out of Dodge, I say.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

If only it were that simple.

[ichoosefight]

Nothing ever is.
