I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[insufferablysmug]

I'm sure you will.

Would you care to discuss business?

[acrossyourpath]

That's why we're all here, right?

[insufferablysmug]

It is.

I know most of your skillset, but if there's anything else I should know, I'd like to hear about it now rather than later.

[acrossyourpath]

Before I tell you anything, what do you know?

[insufferablysmug]

Highly skilled retrieval expert. [ h e h. Actually, she's just going to avoid mentioning the bad luck powers for now. In case it's not something she wants spread around. ] I believe that sums it up well.

[acrossyourpath]

That's about right. I always get what I want.

[insufferablysmug]

I'm certain that will be useful to us.

Did you have any questions about X-Factor?

[acrossyourpath]

Mostly wondering how we'll handle our "cases". Are we going to operate in teams, or independently?

[insufferablysmug]

That will depend on the case. Some cases don't require a team, some do.

If you have a preference, you can let me know. [ Whether she'll actually take that into account is another matter entirely. ]

[acrossyourpath]

I could deal with a partner. Can't make any promises about a whole team.

[ She smirks a little. ]

But I'm not shy about taking any cases.

[insufferablysmug]

Noted. Perhaps it's something you'll grow used to.

[ Heh. A raised eyebrow. ]

I wouldn't have guessed you to be.

[acrossyourpath]

Anything's possible.

Is there anything I should know?

[insufferablysmug]

That seems to be a constant across worlds.

Nothing comes to mind, but I'll let you know if anything comes up.

[acrossyourpath]

Please do. I can't help but be curious.

[insufferablysmug]

You know what they say about curiosity and cats.

[ a beat ] Though perhaps in your case it doesn't apply.

[acrossyourpath]

Definitely not. I'm sure you already know I tend to have a little luck on my side.

[insufferablysmug]

I'd say more than a little.

[acrossyourpath]

Obviously enough to spread around, or else I wouldn't be here.

[insufferablysmug]

Mm. I'll look forward to that, then.
