[it's so sweet that she's being kind enough to think that he wasn't actually asking for himself. if only he wasn't trying to save face by being anonymous, he'd thank this sweet summer child.]
everyone uses 'asking for a friend' ironically. are you new to millenialspeak?
( technically, she's not a millennial either, considering she's... much older than she looks. but that's a level of complicated that she doesn't much enjoy getting into. )
well, most people's sheets haven't caught on fire yet either, but they're not looking for fireproof bed linens so you haven't really answered my question
( oh. oh. well, kara can appreciate how certain abilities might pose a practical issue. she did just finish up a few days of reinforcing the supports on her loft, after all.
she doesn't know who this person is, obviously, given the anonymous nature of the post... but she isn't completely heartless. so, instead, kara sends her phone number as an attachment to the message, and switches her replies to PRIVATE. )
i know a thing or two about controlling your abilities not that i spontaneously combust or anything but if you ever want to talk about it, you can give me a call
oh, and i asked my boss - he said welding blankets are supposed to be fireproof, maybe check a home improvement store?
we don't have a pool but i remember reading that blue springs pool has a little picnic area, i'm sure that there's a grill there you should throw one there, i'm sure lots of people would come
if you like pizza, blaze has half-price slices on sundays you could get a whole pizza and have leftovers :)

( kara, you do know that's just a figure of speech, right? you're a journalist. this is embarrassing. )

( to be fair, kara's not super great at irony. )
how are your sheets catching on fire?
no subject
they haven't. yet. but i'd like to be prepared rather than have to break out the fire extinguisher.

i'm worried that if things get a little too hot and heavy that i might just... ugh flame on.

private to kara
un: reyes
thanks for the pro-tip.
don't know if i'm up for a voice chat on it, but i appreciate the offer.
and the first helpful suggestion.
it's why i didn't want to ask off anon.
no subject
both for the suggestion and the offer
by the way, you're a pretty good sparring partner
[ attachment: s u r p r i s e ]
no subject
you're not so bad yourself, supergirl.
doggie play date sometime?

( she's just decided to aggressively befriend him. no choices given. )
that sounds great
feel free to swing by criminales sometime
i ordered some dog-friendly brews to test out with atticus
you can take a few home
(just don't mention it to my boss, he pretends like he doesn't love dogs even though he's a total softie for them)
no subject
dog beer? how's your dog liking it?
i'll give it a go, but inferno's already looking a little pudgy.
maybe it's a puppy thing.
(it'll be our secret. along with the other secret.)
no subject
i just thought it would be a fun thing to offer
seems like a lot of people here have dogs
( like her friend-on-the-rocks mr allen himself. #anyway... a picture accompanies the message, now that kara's had time to settle in at home. )
he seemed pretty happy about it
but that might also be the fact that he got a bunch of fries today at the fair
he's all worn out now though
no subject
i mean i know you do and now i do as well
but i haven't seen that many?
[from somewhere in cadelle, robbie reyes is totally making heart eyes at a dog picture.]
dogs have it made, i swear.
we feed them food that is probably questionable.
they get belly rubs.
and when all is said and done they get to pass out wherever they like.
no subject
so i figure a few snacks here and there can't hurt that much
but you're right
i think the dog eats better than i do
and i eat a lot
no subject
i don't cook so i think i'll stick to off brand puppy chow and milkbones.
that's kind of sad...
but makes me curious.
what's a lot?
no subject
mostly i just think it's an excuse for him to hang out in front of the grill more
well
i could eat an entire pizza by myself and probably still be hungry
( it's not quite up there with barry's 850 taco daily requirement, but kara does need to eat a lot to keep up her strength. )
no subject
there's definitely lots of appeal with that. cold beer. steaks on some charcoal.
pool party if you've got one.
color me impressed.
i can only manage maybe half.
[probably because he doesn't have the super speed of other powered types.]
no subject
but i remember reading that blue springs pool has a little picnic area, i'm sure that there's a grill there
you should throw one there, i'm sure lots of people would come

no subject
even before the powers i had a habit of burning things to a crisp.
or i could just invite a friend to tag along.
(and by friend i clearly mean atticus.)
no subject
but i'm very sorry to tell you that atticus can't come with you on a pizza outing
he's lactose intolerant
( is she serious. the world may never know. )
no subject
i've got two words for you there.
vegan pizza.
not that i want it but maybe someone with four paws and a wet nose would.
[he sees you and calls your bluff, kara. bring him the soft fluffy. bring it to him. ghost rider is so scary, clearly.]
no subject
i can't let you ruin his appetite with something so gross
( the scariest. she's charmed. )
