[ The video feed starts, and Stephanie waves. She's sitting on her bed in her "room," smiling through the screen. ]

So, I've been thinking about the whole "space hell" theme this place has going on, and I came to the realization that not everything that happens here is going to be all rainbows and butterflies, obviously.

I mean, this ship is looking more horror sci-fi and less action adventure sci-fi every day. And I kind of like being alive and well, as surprising as that might sound.

[ She pauses, hesitating. ]

What I'm getting at is...would anyone be up for teaching me self-defense?

[ Not that she really needs the help, as self-defense was thoroughly covered in Bat-training.

But if Batgirl wants to go out and about, her alter ego has to be nothing but normal—Stephanie Brown, an average teenage girl with zero space experience, zero fighting experience, and zero spandex experience. ]

[Sigh.]

All I'm saying is, sometimes it's tough to infer what you're trying to say even from context clues, when you go really heavy on the slang.

[rhymeswithdeath]

A man of many talents.

I'm willing to work, if you're willing to help.

Well, let me know when we're ready to shoot, Barton. I'm looking forward to it.

What's a cat supposed to do? Haven't heard squat from barbering others. Dunno if it's 'slang' or not.

Anytime. Dames should learn to defend themselves.

[learnedtosmile]

First of all, what do you mean by 'barbering'?

[willpunchfaces]

Sure thing, beautiful.

I'm willing to help if you're willing to work. You got anything in mind?

Talking. Y'know, like when you get your hair cut or shaved. Barbers talk a lot.

[learnedtosmile]

Basically, whenever you use a word that's a metaphor for something else, chances are someone here won't understand you.

I'm not saying you need to stop using slang, I'm just saying you might want to be aware of that.

Noted. [ Doesn't mean he's going to do it, of course, but Blake knows that Brendan is stubborn and Brendan's not going to change himself like that. So he simply clicks the feed off, shrugging. ]

A mixture of hand to hand; martial arts. I had an exceptional teacher.

I prefer guns, though. They get the job done.

I think I may have won the "sinfully late" award in this thread...

[onlysaneone]

I'm Azari. We can do something pretty much whenever you're free, it's not like I've got an overabundance of things to do here...

[Yes, he is Captain Jack Sparrow. Holding.

He grins. Just the sort of attitude he likes to hear. And even more so that she's flexible.]
