Aww. 

"I would, on another day? But I think I've done enough heavy thinking and emotion building on what was supposed to be a rest day already - don't wanna push it or anything, you know? I'd be happy to talk to her more another day, though." 

She smiles a little sheepishly. 

"I haven't actually gotten a phone yet, but I guess I could set up an email and coordinate through the league systems 'til I've gotten it figured out? I've just been so busy and I'm sure batman has been, too, for all that he's been an excellent host."

Zatara nods.

"If she's going to be training with you and getting involved in superheroics, I should probably get her in the league's system as well. And perhaps introduce her to the other young heroes. I'll see if she's free for that tomorrow ..."

He opens the study door and heads down the hall to the living room, where Zatanna is sprawled upside-down on a couch, a Terry Pratchett book floating in comfortable reading position above her.

"Topaz had some stressful things to discuss with me, and she's feeling a bit worn out," he tells her. "And she hasn't gotten a phone set up yet. But since you've gotten the name spell down I was thinking that we could go meet some of the other young heroes affiliated with the League tomorrow afternoon, and you could exchange contact info then—"

Zatanna rapidly rights herself, her hair flying.

"Yes! That would be great."

She turns to Topaz.

"Topaz, it was great to meet you! I can't wait to work together, and you have to come over for dinner again soon, yeah?"

"Yeah! Been great to meet you, too." 

:3

She pulls her up into a hug, kisses each of her cheeks in turn a little overexcitedly, and then pulls away with a twirl. 

"But yes. See you later!" 

She wanders off with a bit of a skip in her step and a blush on her cheeks, making sure all of her things are back in her pockets and no worse for the wear. 

... is Topaz French? Did this not come up, somehow? Maybe she's French Canadian. They still kiss each other on the cheek in, uh, French Canada. Right?

By the time Zatanna's recovered enough to verbalize questions, Topaz has already disappeared through the teleporter.

The training area is quiet. A faint brush of awareness makes it clear that Miss Martian is in residence and noticed her return, but if anyone else is about they're being quiet about it.

"Recognized. A-01: Topaz. You have   3   new messages."

She'll grab herself a glass of water, give herself a few minutes of discretionary staring at a wall time - she's kinda tiiiiiiiired and doing the heavy conversation after thinking with her will brains a bunch doesn't help, either - and then goes and checks those out. 

I've gotten your onboarding paperwork processed. Most relevantly, you've been assigned a postal box in the Hall of Justice — #104. It needs a code and a biometric scan to open. I've set your initial code to 4482093 and used your teleporter scans for the biometrics.

When you have a moment, you should reset the code and pick up the league communicator and paperwork that should be waiting for you by that point.

The next message is from the League's internal package-tracking system:

You have packages available for pickup in your box.

Team —

I've gotten King Orin's preliminary approval for that trip to Poseidonis, and now we just need to work out times. Please fill in this calendar entry with times that work for you.

Oo the phone, one hopes? It's going to be so terrible but also so useful - there's probably only so much being vaguely attached to a superhero team can fix things up on that front. 

As for the appointment... 

She's good to take care of the appointment... not tommorow, because that's probably when they're going to do stuff about venom, but pretty much any day after that? Actually, she probably wants a day free of other commitments to just hang out and make sure she has her financial stuff worked out, honestly? And that should probably be before, if only to calibrate what amount of money is reasonably worth her time. So... somewhere from 3 days from now to when she goes to Themiscrya, if that works out, ideally, she supposes? 

She'll do a bit of winding down - she'll do a final look over the lantern - looking good, honestly? Then she'll make a memory stone for general utility and/or more green light work later, and then make the blank for the little key and anchor for the lantern's subspace system, and then another, for another subspace storage project. She'll throw in a start for the budding process, too - it should be if anything more stable than the individual sparks, so even if he doesn't want to go that route and there's no special mechanism for 'saving' them, she can probably just do that. 

She'll scare up something to read - she's sure by now there's some oldie but goodie asimov stuff on the web by now, and that sounds fun enough? She'll do that for a little while and then....

Alright, fiiiiine, before it gets late enough for it to be awkward she'll run over and set up the whole PO box affair. She'll have to fuss about the biometrics later if she wants to do more bioupgrades, but she'll cross that bridge when she comes to it. It's a little unforunate that there doesn't seem like there's much of a league bioguy, but she can scare that up later. Honestly, the most practical thing she could do would maybe be to copy something like red tornadoes body, but she's not quite that personally excited with transhumanism that she wants to be the first person to go through that sort of uploading process, and there's probably a billion things to figure out with all the technological changes that has happened over the years, not to mention magic and everything. And biological bodies are fun. 

(She might as well ask the gift what generating a power for that would look like - could she get something for that elemental... tech?? that red inferno and red tornado uses out of the box? Making humanoid droids is definitely a path of all time to walk down.) 

She blushes a little. She... was a little overenthusiastic there, wasn't she? She's kissed cheeks hello and goodbye before, but it's not exactly... normal for her to do it like that either, really. 

Anyways! 

Off she goes! Hopefully it has the phone and the rest of the stuff batman was setting up for her...?
