LOG; CLOSED TO ALLISON HARGREEVES
( When the feed comes up, Darcy is still in the car on the way to the housing for Displaced Supers. It's loud in the background between one of her children shouting excitably about all the things he sees out his window and the other repeatedly asking "Mommy? Mommy? Mama? Hey Mommy?" as her attention goes to the camera instead of him. Darcy's an expert at ignoring her children when she needs to ignore them.
She neither looks panicked nor upset, just a little tired and a little annoyed. Darcy liked her life in Lawrence and she's hardly in the mood to have to create a whole new network of people to keep herself safe. In the meantime, the tattoo on her hip and the boys' amulets will just have to do. )
So, okay, what's all this about superpowers? That's new.
( In the background, the child trying to get her attention quiets briefly before asking "Who's got superpowers?!" Darcy's attention turns briefly to the child. )
Don't worry about it, baby.
( Her attention turns back to the camera. )
That's not real, right? Also, what's the longest anyone has been here, so far?

LOG; CLOSED TO ALLISON HARGREEVES
Once they arrive at the housing, Darcy helps the boys out of the car and takes their hands in hers to lead them through the front gate and up the steps to enter the building. Admittedly, these digs are a lot nicer than the apartments back in Lawrence. That said, she moved out of those goddamned apartments years ago and into her own house, one which might or might not have been best described as a McMansion. This is definitely a downgrade as far as that goes, but certainly an upgrade from what she started in, anyway.
As she moves through the lobby and then down the hall for the first-floor apartments, her boys are chattering animatedly and swiveling their heads to take in everything around them, and Darcy's just trying to keep herself calm. This is beyond obnoxious.
When she reaches apartment 102, Darcy lets go of the boys' hands. "Don't move, Clark," she says, already knowing that Conner won't. She fishes the key to the apartment out of her jeans pocket and is surprised to hear the sound of dogs barking behind the door as she turns the knob. Looking up at the apartment number, Darcy's brow creases. Definitely the apartment they told her...
Before she actually opens the door, Darcy just cracks it slightly and calls out. "Hello...? Anybody home?"

[No bite at all to the statement because she doesn't even mean it.]
Literally I have the most useless ability, though, and you got that. I think I really got the shit end of this 'power stick'.
[Cindy rolls her eyes.]
PRIVATE.
That's a big no. My one friend so far is a man trapped in a younger body.
[Cindy shakes her head.]
Age-appropriate older, he's like 40. But give him time he's going to probably be a lifer and open up when he gets over the whole transition into all of this.
Derek definitely has potential and Sirius is in his 20s - mid, I think, so totally not knocking him off totally if you're feeling like a cougar.
[Cindy waggles her eyebrows and then sighs.]
No demons here thus far, but the locals - regular people - have attacked some of the people who've been tossed into all of this.
no subject
PRIVATE.
...wait, what?
Ehhh, married is a deal-breaker for me. I'm not that girl anymore. But a girl can appreciate a pretty face, right?
( She lifts her eyebrows. )
You think I can still pull off the cougar thing? You're too kind, sweetie.
( Once again, her face falls. That's...concerning. )
Well, shit...
no subject
PRIVATE.
Yeah, Five - trapped in a teenage body but he's in his fifties. Don't judge me too much because he's a lot like me.
[Cindy snorts.]
Is that even a question - look at you.
[She kind of hates that she's got to be serious, though, given the boys.]
It seems to be getting a little better, but until local and displaced relations get better I'd rather you and the boys be kept as safe as possible.
private unless otherwise indicated, moving forward
Like how teenage is teenage though? Legal-looking or nah?
Psh, I love you. When do the boys get to see their favorite auntie, anyway?
Yeah, no, I'm good with that. I don't suppose Clark is around here anywhere, or Kon? I feel like they would've handled that pretty sufficiently by now if so. You're the expert, honey. You lead, I follow.
private unless otherwise indicated, moving forward
As soon as you tell me what what apartment you're in, I could use some kiddo time right about now.
No Clark and no Kon - Casey and the twins were here as adults a while back but they got sent back home, luckily, from what I can tell. This is why I missed you, you use your damn brain. Or one of many reasons, anyway.
no subject
We're in 102, but actually, let me get them in and settled first. I'll give you a shout.
I'm glad they got to go home. I know it's really hard for Casey when I'm around because Clark and I still aren't a thing yet. If not for her, I really can't imagine us ever being one again. It really feels like that ship has sailed, you know? But for her, I keep an open mind. And wow, Clark got pulled in again? That never happens!
( Darcy preens a little, playfully. )
Well, I use my damn brain, I always find the best wine, and I'm a perfect outlet for you to perv on exponentially younger men with. Among other reasons, I'm sure. But this stuff is always so weird. We literally were having coffee while Aaron and the twins played like half an hour ago, for me.
