Priestly's apartment in New Gotham, Wednesday night

[lovemykilt]

"Okay," Mark said, sipping his beer. "But she's not your girlfriend?"

Priestly shook his head. "How is this so hard for people to understand?" he asked Tia. She shrugged, smirking.

"So she's available?" Mark asked.

"Don't rebound with a girl, Mark," Tia said. "You should date a guy, next."

Mark sighed and went back to sipping his beer.

[ooc: expecting one, but open to phone calls if anyone wants to.]

Knock knock knock knock knock ... ding-dong!

"I brought Thai food!" See, she knew the magic password!

[lovemykilt]

Mark pointed at the door. "If you don't, I'm going to marry her."

Priestly shook his head and went to answer the door. "Thai food!" he greeted with a grin. "Oh, and hi, Dinah."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you!" The Thai food couldn't give hugs, but Dinah could, and did, and waved the bag over his shoulder at the roomies. "Hi, roomies! Who send me awesome video!" Heee.

[lovemykilt]

"Hey, all I did was hold up a phone," Tia said. "Sentience here did the real work."

"Sentience," Mark said, shaking his head. "Hippie drag queen. That's a new one for me."

"I do like to be different," Priestly agreed, hugging Dinah back tight. "Hey you."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was Dinah holding on a little extra long, because it'd been a while. And because time in Glacia always did that to her.

She finally put the bag down but kept on arm around Priestly's shoulders. "You haven't gone out singing without me since then, have you? 'Cause I want to see Sentience in person." She grinned at Mark and Tia. "The most I've seen him do before was karaoke. And the occasional drunken belting."

[lovemykilt]

"Yeah, there was definitely plenty of drinking," Tia said.

"Who kept buying me fruity rum drinks?" Priestly asked, sticking his tongue out at her.

"I've already told them they're not allowed to go again without me," Mark said. "I'm amazed Tia managed to find someone even weirder than her."

"Group date," Tia said. "Next Thursday. It's a plan."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I'm free!" Dinah finally let go of Priestly to sit down and open up the bags she'd brought. "Since, well, I've still only got one part-time job. Might have to get another one, though. How's the first semester going so far?" She looked around and under the coffee table. "And where's Stevesie? Eating out of the cabinets again?"

[lovemykilt]

"The overgrown rat?" Mark grumped. Priestly snorted at him.

"Sacked out snoring on my pillow," he said. "Mark tired him out playing this afternoon."

". . . Rats are entertaining," Mark said. "This does nothing to soften my gruff, cool exterior."

"Awwwww!" Dinah beamed at Mark, and handed him a plastic fork. "Take pix next time. The pad thai and the sesame chicken are for everybody, but I'll fork anyone who touches my shrimp masaman." She pointed another fork at Priestly. "Don't say it."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly raised her hands. "Don't need to, now."

"Priestly, your friend's invited over every day," Tia said.

"Even the Sabbath," Mark said.

"Ignore every word out of Mark's mouth, Dinah. Especially anything that makes him sound at all religious or moral."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah gave Mark a mystified look, then one back at Priestly. "Anyone care to expand on that?" And a hopeful look at Tia. "Remind me, what are you grad studenting in?"

[lovemykilt]

"Urban folklore," said Tia.

"Religious studies," said Mark.

"This week," said Priestly. "Mark is a perpetual major changer. Right now, he's pretending to be Jewish."

"Not pretending," Mark said. "I was bar mitzvahed."

"At a kegger," Priestly said. "By a Buddhist. Two weeks ago."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah was spluttering into her shrimp at that, and snickering at Priestly. "C'mon! That could count! ... sorta. I dunno, it's not like I'm religious enough to tell." She frowned at the Thai food. "I have no idea if any of this is kosher. Priestly?"

Package delivery!

[heromaniac]

*Knock Knock*

Heeeey Priestly! You remember how Momoko once threatened promised to take you shopping? She was still gonna do that, but for now she was sending you some things to get you started! In a TOTALLY Priestly messenger bag that Momoko couldn't resist when she saw it, were things like cool notebooks, some erasers just in case he made any errors or mistakes when taking notes.

There was also a pencil sharpener to sharpen his awesome new eco-friendly pencils! Although probably pens might be more to Priestly's preference.

To make the most important notes stand out, Momoko had also sent her friend some highlighters, and there were lots of folders so he could organize things.


...

Also a second bag... this one a New Gotham survival bag, though it could probably be passed off as a gag gift by normal (non have-been-kidnapped-by-question-mark-villain) people. It was filled with a mini gas mask, a domino mask, leather gloves, mace, a swiss army knife, some potions (clearly labeled), a stake, a slingshot, bandages, a manual flashlight, an emergency drop-phone with Blossom and Canary and Huntress on speed-dial, a few maps (with areas marked off to avoid), some restaurant guides (with notes!), some hardcandy, and a few other things that proved Fandom raised Momoko right and that Priestly was definitely sure to know how to use.

There was also a small emergency ID bracelet... that said "if found, please return to Dinah Lance".

Priestly peeked into the box.

"Momoko's insane," he said. Because this was news, clearly.

He was also grinning ear to ear, soooo.

"What did she send you, what did she send you? For once she didn't tell me!"

Re: Package delivery!

[lovemykilt]

Priestly pulled out the grass pens. "You just KNOW Stevesie will try to eat these."

Re: Package delivery!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"He tries to eat everything," Dinah pointed out, then peeked into the box to see what else was there. And started laughing at the Zombie Survival Kit bag.

Re: Package delivery!

[lovemykilt]

Priestly cleared his throat, and showed her the ID bracelet, eyes rolling skyward.

Dinah facepalmed. "Don't let Tia or Mark see that," she muttered, grumbling. "We don't need any more people in that club waving flags."

Re: Package delivery!

[lovemykilt]

"For real," Priestly agreed. "Though they're both pretty well convinced we're secretly dating already." He shook his head. "What is it with people and assuming that?"

Re: Package delivery!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. I'm so happy to have you here, anything else seems like... I don't even know, superfluous?" She leaned into him, rummaging in the box and grinning at the folders and messenger bag. "I mean, it could be everyone our age is obsessed with romance? Which, it's great, but... Oo, I'm stealing your potions." Stop her, Priestly. She can get her own.

Re: Package delivery!

[lovemykilt]

"You are not, this is my back to school present from Momo, you don't get to steal anything."

Re: Package delivery!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I need them more," Dinah whined, relinquishing them without too much fight. "Also, she never sent me a back to school present. We know who the favorite is here."

Re: Package delivery!

[lovemykilt]

"As though there were any doubt," Priestly said. "And you didn't go back to school, you just kept going to school."
