Android's Dungeon, Wednesday, 11/19

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah was at the counter of the store, Fandom High Times open in front of her. She was happy with how it had come out, all things considered, except ...

"Best. Article. Ever," she tried, then made a face. No, it didn't sound right at all.

The Android's Dungeon was open, and happy with the extra publicity.

"Not a stripper, eh?" Daisy commented by way of greeting as she made a slight pit-stop break from a little patrol around town at Sarah's shop. She'd read through the article at the station with barely contained amusement and just had to stop and say hi in light of it.

"Thankfully not," Sarah said, with her own smile. "That was Turtle's version of not mentioning the rumor. But people have said worse about me."

"It's a good article otherwise, though, isn't it?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Well," Daisy chuckled a little, "I was entertained, I have a very clear perception of what this business is about, and I even have something to do once I'm off and at home and surfing the Internet."

"And I don't think the commercial was even the most embarrassing thing I did that month," Sarah said with a light chuckle. "It's a glamorous career, what can I say?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"And now you own a comics shop," Daisy noted teasingly, looking around the place with her amusement evident. "Moving up in the world at such an alarming rate, I'm surprised you don't get vertigo."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"It's hard. I'm dizzy all the time," Sarah deadpanned. "On the bright side, It's not foodservice and some of the comics aren't too bad."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I'm not going to come in here next week and find you utterly immersed in the latest adventures of Really, Really Strong Guy, am I?"

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"You might," Sarah laughed. "But I draw the line at The Z-Men. Their interpersonal relationships just give me a headache. They should know better than to date people they work with."

... unlike her.

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy couldn't help but laugh. Granted, in London, there wasn't anyone she would ever even think twice about wanted to date because London PD were so not her type, but it was nice to hear someone else validate one of her big rules.

"Common sense," she remarked. "A bit too much to ask for in some cases, I suppose."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"Well sometimes," Sarah said, looking nonchalantly at a point over Daisy's head, "it's easy to fall into. I mean, if you're always working and you only meet so many people, and if some of them are interesting .... but it's always such a bad idea."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"And people wonder," Daisy commented, with a little look toward Sarah to let her know that the nonchalant look didn't escape her notice, but meeting it with a grin, "why I'm so big on keeping my private and professional lives separate."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"You've never been tempted?" Sarah asked, a little skeptical. "Good idea, though. I'm trying to go with it, here on out."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Never," Daisy admitted, shaking her head lightly with a small shrug. "London's a big town, though; plenty of much better fish out there than in Scotland Yard, believe me. When I say that place was a pretty exclusive Old Boys Club, I emphasize the Old. And all the cute, young dics were already spoken for, ferreted far out of my reach, or too damn caught up in their own work, anyway."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah scrunched her nose sympathetically. "Maybe you'll meet someone here, at least," she tried. "I've had two dates without really looking."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Bless, I've got number two myself tomorrow," Daisy admitted. "Same guy as number one, but, I don't know." She shrugged. "I guess dating's never really be a thing for me. I just like to go out and have fun, you know? That's what really matters, enjoying yourself."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"And you always hear those are the guys who stick, the ones you meet without trying," Sarah said, with an expression that suggested she really wasn't so sure about that. "It's been a while since I had a normal relationship, though. Who are you having a second date with?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy looked momentarily distracted by trying to remember really when she'd had any relationship, in probably the most traditional sense of the word, couldn't come up with anything, and just shrugged, dismissing it. "Biff. We're having toast. I think. I'm bringing jam."

Then she laughed a little. "And, no, that's not a metaphor. I don't think."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"Biff was my second date, too," Sarah said, almost laughing. "He's fun. Enjoy the toast. With or without metaphorical jam."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Ta, I will!" Daisy smiled. "You know, you and me should maybe go out sometime, too. Just a girl's night out, some dancing, karaoke or something. That's one thing I miss a lot; the night life here is pretty dead."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"I love to dance," Sarah volunteered. "And yeah, the island doesn't seem to be much for going out. Think we could sneak over to the mainland?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, yes, please!" Daisy said with a laugh, and perhaps even a slight bounce. "Just get out, have fun, not think about work or anything and absolutely regret it in the morning!"

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"It would be completely off the clock," Sarah promised, which was a rarity for her at least. "My schedule's kind of open at the moment. Got a day in mind?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy shrugged. "Weekends are usually good." But her mun wasn't going to even TRY to predict her schedule, oh man.

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"Saturday?" Sarah suggested, with a little shrug of her own. We can handwave to another weekend if it doesn't work. "Baltimore's not too bad a drive..."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"You're in charge of directions," Daisy grinned since that should work with little blips of inactivity here and theeeeere. "You're at least a native."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"I did live near D.C. for a while," Sarah claimed. "I can try. At least I'll drive on the right side of the road?"

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Right side, left side," Daisy waved a hand. "Not like anyone ever really drove in the city, anyway."

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

"I noticed that when I visited London," Sarah nodded. "Sadly, I was in L.A. I spent half my life sitting in traffic."

She rubbed her chin. "Never thought I would miss traffic jams."

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I bet they're a great way to get some venting out," Daisy observed. "We'll have to find the best busy hour in the area and try to hit it before we hit the clubs, for you to relive those memories?"

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah laughed. "Maybe if we're really lucky some middle-aged guy in a sports car will cut me off," she suggested. "It'll be just like home."
