["From what we all have to deal with" is one hell of a way of putting it, but Artemis can't exactly argue with the intention. She and Superboy had a similar conversation.]
well... maybe go to the beach? or a theme park or something. I don't know.
[ It comes straight out of the limited "people I talk to in my age range" pool, of which they both... ended up in, accidentally. She's surprised - maybe it really was a peas in a pod thing, since it's certainly not just country coincidental. Teammates? ]
He got offended I was waiting to try a slurpee until 7/11.
You... what? [Oh lord, somebody help this girl] Ok, I don't know what that's about, but if it's anything to do with slurpees then we are definitely talking about the same Wally.
I still don't know what it was about, but it sounds like we're talking about the same person. Likes to eat? Bottomless pit? Jumps to conclusions? Likes chemistry and his own wit?
[Artemis has no idea she may have slipped by mentioning the team--and even if she did, it's Annie, she's cool. If Artemis had a choice, she'd bring her home and make her part of the team herself. Zatanna and M'gann would love her.
Superboy had wanted to do something fun as a team. Maybe this will work.]
I might know a couple of guys. we were talking about doing something after... yeah.
[ The 104th would have warned her, in a knee jerk way. This is Anie cataloging information, a reflex she doesn't know how to shut off even if she wanted. Passive information gathering most the time, only active when her curiosity is piqued. ]
Sounds like a few of us are thinking like that. See if your couple of guys are interested, we can figure out a day to go see what water parks are like? No sharks or kidnappings allowed.
[Was that... was that a joke? For a girl who thought you had to drink slurpees on the eleventh of July, Annie is good and sneaking in those deadpan zingers.]
text: it's probably better than the alternative!
um.... why?
text: most likely! ... also i love how she's the first to ask why
text: welp, its a good question
well... maybe go to the beach? or a theme park or something. I don't know.
text: it's the most sane one
By any chance, do you know someone named Wally? He said the same exact thing. Is that an American tradition?
text
Um... yeah. We're sort of on the same team at home. How do YOU know Wally?
[Because this is too weird.]

Smaller world than I imagined.
text
Ugh, you have no idea...
[A pause.]
Wally said theme parks?
[Should Artemis care, at this point? Probably not.]
text
[ Sharing is caring. That, and Annie sees no reason not to point out exactly what he'd said. No skin off her back! ]
text
Oh.
[No big deal. Her trip to Six Flags with Wally was so long ago and so much has happened since then.]
yeah, I guess a water park would be good for a date. thing. or whatever it is you're planning.
text
Sounds like it could be an interesting experience. Maybe for a group thing sometime?
[ Gentle probing... Reiner and Bertholdt were likely going to be sent off to the one in NC. If she goes along with that plan. ]
text
sure, why not? I mean, I don't know. I've never been to one before.
text
[ Any more of that team, she wonders, but doesn't ask. ]

text
yeah, good luck with that. but sure, I'll talk to them.
text
Send me word when you know one way or the other.
text
... will do.
not here
and that was a joke. good spot ]
