north by north lest we have to settle down

[boughtabookstore]

Date & Time: March 25th through April 1st.
Location: Bars, training room, police headquarters, assorted other locations of your choosing.
Characters: Roslyn Small (boughtabookstore) and YOU (aka OPEN)
Summary: Roslyn is out and doing, well, about the usual. But running into people at the same time. Whatever format you want, if one of the given options doesn't work for you feel free to come up with one that does.
Warnings: Most likely not any, will change if that changes.

one. bar hopping.

[ She's actually in bars a great deal less these days - more commitments, both to her job and to her friends (and isn't that a change from a year ago), but she's always found that people in bars can be excellent sources of information and she still does enjoy alcohol, though her drinking right now is a great deal more in moderation.

It's still fairly easy to find her in one of her favorite bars at night, talking to the natives or to friends or simply sitting in a corner by herself and watching. ]

two. respectable citizen (??).

[ During the weekdays during normal work hours most of her time is spent either at the station working on paperwork or out on the streets looking for things that will then give her more paperwork to do. She never was a beat cop of any sort, and though strictly speaking that isn't her designation she can't take inactivity while working enough to let her stay stationary. It's interesting. When she was an agent they never stayed long in one place on a case. Certainly not long enough to gain contacts or really get to know a place.

She has to say she likes it. It's good to have a purpose again, and it's interesting to be - for lack of a better word - engaged in the place she now lives in. ]

three. also about those missions.

[ She goes to the mandatory training sessions, but as well as that she tends to also show up at the training hall early in the mornings before work to put in a workout routine, make sure she's staying fit and prepared for anything. On the weekends she comes in for a slightly longer time, works on her target shooting and sometimes looks for someone to do hand to hand with.

The missions are unpredictable and frequently dangerous, and she'd like to ensure that she's always ready. ]

Well, I have yet to meet any vigilantes at least.

[ Still, she's sure they would live up to her expectations of others. ]

You come from a world where heroes are very common?

[pixieboots]

Yeah, I guess you could say that. [ Though really it has to be relative, now that he's thinking about it. ]

Not common the way cops are. But we're there to help out when they need us. There's a lot of big bads out there that just don't care what kind of collateral damage they cause. Guys like me and Batman help even out the playing field.

[boughtabookstore]

It's certainly an interesting concept. I always relegated it to it, well, fiction.

[ She'd relegated a lot of things to the fictional department until here, and she'd had a fairly wide definition of normal. ]

And you intend to do the same thing here?

[pixieboots]

...Really? You don't know any?

[ That's definitely a new one. ]

Well, I hope to. This place is pretty quiet compared to Gotham, though.

[boughtabookstore]

None at all. We have none.

[ No heroes - perhaps they would be a good idea. ]

I think that sounds like a good thing.
