one hand in the jar and a jar on the hand

Who: Alter & Stephanie
What: A delicious breakfast date.
Where: A pub in Griss Twist
When: Sukkardi morning


Relatively pleased that she's only ten minutes late, Alter arrives at the Slaughtered Lamb still fluffing out her hair from a thoroughly necessary afterwork shower. She'd reasoned that it would be better to leave someone waiting than arrive with dust and grease smeared all over her face. After all, she chose this place not just because of its glorious and greasy breakfast plates, but because it's conveniently close to her own apartment.

Steph is not quite as freshly showered, but her hair is still a little wet, although recently cut, which is making her feel kind of awesome. It's been a while since she's had a hair cut that wasn't just a trim. She'd briefly considered cancelling, after she'd seen the militia transmission and started planning, but had decided that she shouldn't let it eat up her personal life.

She'd gotten to the pub a little early and grabbed a table near the door so she could spot Alter when she came in. She'd ordered herself a coffee to occupy herself while waiting, and spent the next ten minutes having a pseudo existential crisis over the fact she's going on a date with a girl. It's not a huge issue, and she's mostly thinking of this as two friends hanging out, but Kate had asked questions which apparently sparked a sexuality crisis. But when Alter walks in, Steph decides to ignore all that and just have a nice time.

"Hi!" She calls out and waves to get Alter's attention, smiling as she does.

"Don't worry about it, I haven't been waiting long." She waves the apology off with a smile, "Do I even want to ask how you got grease in unmentionabe places?"

A waiter comes over when Steph catches his attention, "Can we get another coffee, please?" She glances at Alter, making sure it's okay to order for her. They have menus as well, but Steph figures they can order food once Alter has gotten her coffee and been given a chance to decide.

"That'd do it. You work with computers?" There's no insistence in the question, it's clear she'll give Alter time to drink some of her coffee first.

Like her earlier date with Jay, Steph is a little nervous, resulting in her being less chatty than normal. She's still got the whole friendly and happy vibe going on, there's just an edge of unsurity to it.

"That's weird," is the first response she makes, but giving it a bit more thought, "I've only done a little bit of work with coding and hardware, but it must be pretty fascinating to see all sprts of different systems working together."

She gives a wry smile, "Though I imagine it makes your job tricky."
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- Are you sure about that?)

"Someone should write a translation dictionary," it's accompanied by a grin, because she knows that's a ridiculous idea. It wouldn't be as simple as that.

"I'm an assistant to one of the librarians at TMU. I get to look after his schedules, let him boss me around and make sure he remembers to eat and sleep." This is true. Steph puts sticky notes with SLEEP!!!! written on them all over Martel's schedule.

Steph is one of the few Bats who actually remembers to take care of herself.

"Still at a library, I just do general stuff instead of being someone's assistant. And I was studying: comp sci, philosophy and sociology." It's kind of surprising, but she's starting to miss attending college.

Steph goes for the Baedal version of eggs benedict, with fried tomatoes and mushrooms as sides.

"Sort of?" She shrugs, "It's kind of boring, but that's just 'cause I'm in my first year and have to deal with compulsary subjects. Hopefully things will be better mext year."

Assuming she ever gets back home and can re-enroll in college. But it helps to talk about it like it's actually going to happen.

"I've slept through a lot of them," Although she's jealous that Alter could skip hers, a lot of Steph's classes require attendance.

"A little of both, I guess." She's quiet for a moment, trying to find the words for how she feels about Baedal, "I'm always gonna resent it for taking me away from home, and I hate... a lot of how it's run. But there are good things here, and good people."
