They're alarmingly pretty.

Yeah, they really are. I must sound horribly American.

*shrugs* As long as you don't sound like a horrible jackass, I'm good.

-blushes a bit, being the awkward type 'n all- I try not to, really, but then again I can't make those determinations without some input from another. So, case being, I hope I didn't sound like a jackass.

Oh, sweetie. You didn't. I've heard a thousand times worse.

*she pauses* Hell I've been a thousand times worse.

-seems relieved now- Well, good. I can actually pride myself on my manners then.

-blinks a bit then quirks a smile at her comment.- Is that so? I'm always so curious about what's beyond the humble hamlet of Smallville. Could you actually be that bad?

Whats your take on people that use their god given gifts to do bad things?

I'd have to say that I don't agree with it. We're already in a world where there's enough bad to go around for everyone, or so it seems according to the media.

Gifts are a rare circumstance in my eyes and should be used for the betterment of mankind. At least that's my opinion. -nervous laugh-

You wouldn't have talked to me a few months ago, I don't think.

I'd like to say I'm a pretty forgiving sort...

Thats actually pretty refreshing to hear.

I'm glad you think so. Everyone deserves a second chance as cliche as that sounds.

No its a good way of thinking.

oh?

Oh, indeed. Heh.

*smiles*

I'll have to play close attention next time then.

You'll be surprised, I think. They can suck you right in.

I suppose thats possible.

Couldn't agree more.

For some reason I expected you to, hah, hah.

So which Brit are you googly ear-ed over?

Oh wow, that's a really funny story actually. She's, uh, named Romana. And well, she kinda literally came out of no where. I just met her. There's something a lil different about her though, but it could just be culture shock on my part.

Romana? Pretty name. How different?

I 'unno. She seems mysterious and perhaps a little unknowing--unfamiliar..? If that even makes sense.

Can you vague it up a little?

It's not like I'm trying to be vague, Chloe. I just met the girl. She's a little spacey, but she sounds like she's new to everything, you know what I mean?

I think I'm failing at this, hah, hah. It seems like I need to do a little investigative reporting, if you know what I mean. After all, I'm offering to show her around Smallville as it is--maybe I could get in a few queries while I'm at.

Hmm...veddy interesting.

Clark Kent - Investigative Reporter. Yeah, I can see it, actually.

Yah think?

It does sound a little farfetched, but she's already a story for the Torch. A Brit-lander here in Smallville. Looks like I'm on the job, chief.

A-fucking-men.

..Suppose it's a stereotype, but being from a small town makes them all the more interesting.

oh? where are you from?

Smallville. Can't really get any more small-town than that.

*grins* oh I don't know... we had a sign outside our town.

'Don't Overlook Overbrook'.

-laughs- That's funny! And now we're just being punny. Oh god, I just rhymed...

But I have to say, the play on words is pretty dang hilarious.

*laughs*

Oh... *laughs* it was a horrid, horrid pun.

That's okay, we did it together. -smirks- Hopefully no one saw us do it. If so, we're doomed.

*laughs*

Our reputations will be ruined!

-gasps-

Thankfully I have only made a name for myself in Smallville albeit a slightly unrecognized name.

Not that I think I'll make it big anywhere else, I think it'd be safe enough to try my hand in a bigger city like, oh say, Metropolis. Then again, if not, there's always the identity change option.
