[ As an aside, to Peter: ] I think you owe her a hug later.

[ He's teasing, at least. Probably.

Aaaand he heads off to follow Kasumi. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Mumbled to himself, ] What'd I literally just say?

[ But he follows, trudging after them slowly. ]

[ they're gonna get that hug, Peter, just you wait. She opens the door after slipping her shoes on, stepping through and then holding it open for the both of them. ]

As usual, if either of you tell anyone where I live, I may have to kill you.

[ said in the opposite of a serious tone, of course. ]

[animated]

Well, there go my plans for the next Twine.

[nostalgiabomb]

And as usual, let me remind you: I'm a thief, not a snitch.

[stealwithit]

Good.

[ She shuts the door behind them as the two come out. ]

Onwards, then? It's not too far of a walk from here once we get downstairs. We can take the elevator.

[animated]

Sure. I don't spend enough time around Heropa to know where everything is, so lead the way.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter just kind of grunts his assent, rubbing at the swath of bandages over his injury. Sometimes, he is little better than a moody teenager. ]

[stealwithit]

... Okay then. Off we go!

[ And as promised, she leads them to the elevator, where they thereafter enjoy an elevator that actually travels at a humane pace. If there's one thing (excluding Charlie and Peter) that Kasumi's grateful for about being stuck in this dimension, it's that the elevators don't take a million years to go down a few floors. Which is why, when they reach the lobby and exit the elevator, Kasumi laughs to herself. ]

Wait, sorry. I have to ask -- that was like, a normal elevator speed, right? The ones where I'm from always took forever.

[animated]

Really? All that space-age technology and you guys can’t come up with a decent elevator?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter leans against the wall of the elevator, eyes shut, but the trip is too short to get comfortable. As they step off, he smirks a little, amused. ]

Tell me about it. Some places I've been, it would've been faster just to take the stairs. Other places, you might as well be jumping out of a window.

[ He points behind them at the elevator with his thumb. ]

[ A small smile finds its way onto Kasumi's lips, too; she's glad to see anything other than a frown on Peter's face. She turns her gaze forward again, after that, continuing to lead them on out of the building and to the promised place of pizza. ]

God, I know. They're practically useless if you're in a hurry. Might as well invest in a grappling hook and rappel all the way down. There's really no explanation for it. I guess outer space and elevators just don't get along.

[animated]

All the elevator funding went towards the spaceships, didn't it?

[nostalgiabomb]

To the spaceships and the rappelling equipment, actually. And the costumes.

[ he pauses ]

Also the guns. They've got some sweetass weaponry out there.

[stealwithit]

Oh, and don't forget bright, neon lights everywhere. That's pretty much a staple for urban life in space.
