[Action][If there's one good thing about her line of work it's that it makes things like "You just got pulled into a different universe by a magic spell gone rogue" that much more plausible. After all she's already had her mind wiped once by a guy with weird mind powers and she's got a teammate from Mars. What's a little dimension hopping in the

Are you lost?

[Woah. When did he suddenly get behind you? It's like he has that crazy voodoo appearing and disappearing magic that Robin has. Who knows.] I can help you if you have any questions or comments about this place. Instructor Grayson by the way. You can just call me Dick if you wish though.

[A pause.] By chance did you mention Gotham just now?

[crockshot]

No. Being lost would mean I don't know where I am. [She glances from him to the directory pointedly.] I'm just memorizing the layout so I don't get lost later. That's all.

[She's used to the crazy ninja voodoo appearance thing by now so it doesn't phase her.]

Haven't really been here long enough to have any questions. If I think of any maybe I'll look you up. [Her lips quirk up into a smile, she really can't help it.] I bet you've heard all the jokes already so I won't bother. My name's Artemis.

[That's actually pretty reassuring.] I might have. What's it to you?

[notasidedick]

I suppose that is true. You didn't look like you were aimlessly looking at the directory like most of the other students. The layout is pretty straightforward after the first few days.

[She probably is.]

If you know where my classroom is, I'll usually be there. If not, I tend to frequent the training center and the cafeteria. [He laughs a little.] I'm used to the jokes, don't worry. They don't bother me all that much. A pleasure Artemis.

I'm from Gotham, so I guess I couldn't help but ask about it. I kind of miss it.

[crockshot]

Look once, memorize it, and then never have to bother with it again. Seems like the easiest way to handle it. [She glances at the directory again.] I've been in malls more complicated than this.

[At least he didn't do the laugh thing. So really his ninja thing isn't too bad so far.]

They don't exactly bother telling us where the classrooms are on here, but I can find my way to the training center or cafeteria easily enough. [She smiles, maybe this guy isn't so bad especially compared to some of the office people here.] The most you'll probably get out of me is the occasional "Don't be such a Dick" unless you do something to earn it.

Wait. [That catches her attention and fast.] You're from Gotham, too? Are there any others?

[Because if she's here and he's here there's a good chance that there are other people from Gotham (and by extension, her world) here too.]

[notasidedick]

That's a good way to look at it.

[He doesn't do the silly giggle. He might give you a cheeky grin though.]

I can give you a tour after you finished memorizing the directory. I'm still reacquainting myself, but it looks like nothing has changed here at least. [Dick likes to be as friendly as possible.] Haha. I've heard that one a lot.

Yes. I have brothers who are here too. i know there's some others here, but I haven't talked to everyone here.

You'll most likely run into them, so don't worry.

[crockshot]

I figured it made sense.

[Cheeky grins are kind of something she's used to dealing with by now. Seriously have you seen her team? Well probably not, but that's not the point.]

Sure why not? Might as well if you want to look over everything too. Easier that way. [He doesn't seem so bad.] Bet you have.

You've got family here? Must be nice.

[She shrugs a little bit.]

Who said I was worried?

[notasidedick]

[He hasn't seen your team, but he's had his fair share of teams. And his best friend is still Wally...so.]

I can give you a quick tour and drop you off at the girl's dormitories so you can get settled in. Good plan, yes?

Yes. I haven't seen them for awhile. I just got back from a year trip out of here. I haven't even realized that much time has passed until I talk about it.

Didn't say you were. Just in case though. Got to cover all my bases right?

[crockshot]

[Since Wally is probably the source of most of those cheeky grins? He should be all too familiar with them then. Wally's still Wally after all.]

Decent plan, yes. [She smiles.] Guess I'll take you up on that. Thanks.

A year? That's a while to be gone, must have been an important trip.

Better safe than sorry, huh?

[notasidedick]

Just tell me when you're ready. I'll also indicate which classroom is mine in case you want to drop by with any questions. It's no problem.

Just traveling. Wanted to pick up things from the other cities around here. But traveling by yourself gets a little lackluster when you're used to having people around.

Basically.

[crockshot]

Now's fine. If anything I can always come back later.

Guess it would be. [She takes a moment to think about her teammate before commenting again.] Adjusting to other people can be kind of hard, but once you do it's not the same being alone anymore.

[She'll never admit to this again. Ever. Yes, saying she doesn't miss anyone and then commenting about how it's not the same when you're aloe totally don't match up. No she probably won't admit to this hypocrisy or even talk about it if it's brought up.]

[notasidedick]

That's true. The directory usually doesn't move. [He says that rather teasingly before he moves to start his way down one of the hallways.]

I'm a sociable sort, so adjusting to new people isn't terribly hard for me. It's just nice to have familiarity. I'm kind of glad to have some Gothamites around here.

[He's not going to bring it up. He's just going to point out places like the library and cafeteria and classrooms he might recognize.]

[crockshot]

I can see the headlines now. Mysterious directory disappearance. Maybe some cadet'll hold it ransom for a better grade. [She shrugs the shoulder not weighed down by her duffel bag a little bit.] Then it'd feel more like home. [Gotham's pretty good for really random situations happening out of nowhere after all.]

You're sociable? [She smirks a little bit, but there's no venom behind it.] I hadn't noticed.

[Which is for the bet, she probably would have just stomped off if he had. She takes careful notice of everything he points out, eyes making sure to scan each area as thoroughly as she can. Which is pretty thorough considering, but she's not super obvious about it unless someone focuses on just where her eyes are going.]

[notasidedick]

Considering how crafty these students can get, I'm expecting to find it in the most unlikely place it can be put. It needs to be dark and gloomy to feel more like home. [Oh Gotham. You're always cloudy or something. What ever happened to being bright and sunny like Metropolis?]

Oh no. I have trouble talking to everyone and take my job too seriously to indulge in sociable affairs.

[Dick is an observer himself. It's not like knowing whether she's being thorough or not will make him think any differently anyways.] That's. [Pause.] My classroom. I'm usually in there a few hours before and after classes in case someone needs to come by.

[crockshot]

I haven't been here long enough to know where that'd be. [She laughs at his comment though.] Guess you have a point on that one. Not that I'm complaining. It's nice to see what sunshine and fresh air is like for once.

Clearly. How do you manage teaching when you have to deal with all those people?

I'll be sure to stop by if I need anything then. Keep you from getting too bored. [Being in there for so long every day sounds pretty drab after all.]

[notasidedick]

I'm imagining it ending up in a classroom really. [He snorts.] It's not that bad. We get sunshine sometimes, although if you want sunshine, you go to Metropolis instead.

I've dealt with worst. [A certain tall, dark, and brooding father who has trouble showing his feelings.]

I'll hardly be bored here. Things are kind of interesting around here if you look for something to do.

[crockshot]

That can be arranged. [She smirks.] Maybe not. This place seems more like Metropolis already though.

Sounds exciting. [Awwe. Did he not get the adorable father/son basketball games her Dick does? That's too bad.]

Wouldn't know. [She smirks a little more.] First day, remember?
