[ the lights are dimmed significantly in the building he's in, save for some overhead ones nearby, but it's not too important in terms of his footage. hatter is leaning down on a countertop, arms crossed, looking not-quite-stern but perhaps rather unhappy. this time, he has a hat atop his head which is hardly situated at a jaunty angle, and every few seconds he fusses with it, moving it a touch in one direction and then another. ]

So, for curiosity's sake and my own... insatiable need to hear opinions other than my own- [ that would be mild sarcasm. ] - what's the first step after you discover you're hardly who you believe yourself to be. Do you tell your friends, random people on the street you bump into? Keep it to yourself and hope for the best?

Do you paint your house a different color to match your newfound personality? Perhaps a new wardrobe- something with paisley and far too much plaid.

I'd like to know what it was you first did when you found out you weren't who your birth certificate claims you to be. And i'm not talking about the shock and awe - that's awfully boring. I mean what did you do after that.

Because i'm sure there's more than a few variables out there that I could use to my advantage. I'd love to hear my options as.. as you can see, my new wardrobe- [ he gives a small nod, his hat sliding down a touch ] -seems to be purely unavoidable instead of a lifestyle choice. One can never be too fashionable when changing who they are on the inside.

That is good to hear! There are enough little anxieties in life without piling more upon them.

I'd have to agree with you there. We've all got more than enough to worry about, i'd say.

It is the way of things, even if someone is not attached to this network. But I am certain that we will all be able to manage!

[ give him a second.... ]

You're awfully optimistic, aren't you.

[she laughs]

I have been told this on occasion, yes. But it is a good thing to be known for, so I do not mind at all.

'Course it's a good thing, I was hardly trying to say otherwise. It's just something of a rarity, even around here.

Maybe especially around here.

I believe that it is more common than it first appears! People simply do not know how to look at things from the proper perspective.

[she grins]

And in the meantime I am here to be the balancing so that we do not tip too far into either side.

I don't even know you and I think you do a perfect job with the balancing. I think you could balance out near everyone here without a problem.

I do not know if everyone else would appreciate such a thing. It would be a very tight fit.

[she flexes her arms a little and giggles. it's a joke which is probably not funny or even very noticeable, but Kara thinks she's funny]

[ the fact that she thinks she's funny is kind of endearing and/or amusing at the same time. not that he thinks he should be amused but it's like when a really bad joke is funny just for what it is. ]

Ah, alright fine. Maybe not everyone.

It would be for the best! I cannot make dear friends as easily if I am balancing everyone.

That's a lovely way of looking at it. Some people just have to get lost in the fray, I suppose.

They would not be lost! I simply would not have to carry them.

They can run at your feet?

Mm...I think I would prefer they walk at my side.
