Another birthday, another Thanksgiving, another unexplained phenomenon, and another missed opportunity.

What's really changed? What have I changed? I told Clark that he wasted his gifts, that all he did was hide in a barn.

But look at me. I have no accomplishments. I have nothing of worth. I have nobody. I don't even have any good ideas.

I've become arguably the most powerful person here, and now these powers are all I have.

Anyone up for a late night ride?

Stephanie

[ A-awww. Steph's never actually made an offer like that before. Despite how long they've known each other, regularly chillin' like friends has not exactly been a thing.

She still feels like crap, but feels like she should make her half of the effort, which...is teasing. ]

Fun? What's that?

Lana

[secondchances]

Not a clue. Guess you'd have to hang out with her and find out yourself.

Stephanie

[luthored]

Do you happen to know her favorite watering holes?

Lana

[secondchances]

Kitchens and towers, mostly. The occasional rooftop.

Stephanie

[luthored]

And are these at sane, Vitamin-D lover hours, or crazy, slowly fading tan vigilante hours?

Lana

[secondchances]

The latter.

I'm not pasty or anything, by the way.

Stephanie

[luthored]

Well, thank goodness neither am I, so we can avoid looking too stereotypical when on rooftops in the dead of winter.

Um, by the way.

What did you mean when you said you know I care about him? [ I mean that on it's own isn't weird, but Stephanie kind of stuttered over it, which made it sound like more. ]

Lana

[secondchances]

What do I mean? You tell me. He likes you.

Stephanie

[luthored]

I mean what has he said?

[ Because WHAT DID HE SAY. Does Stephanie know they slept together? No no no no. Okay, total mood swing. ]

Lana

[secondchances]

Can't say! Nothing bad, of course. Only good.

Stephanie

[luthored]

How nice.

[ Great. Just when they were getting comfortable, something new to make Lana want to backpedal out of Awkwardville. Darn it, Ezio, you were supposed to be discreet. ]

Lana

[secondchances]

You sound thrilled. Should I have not said anything?

Stephanie

[luthored]

No, it's fine.

I really need to get Evan saddled up, though. How about we do that hanging out thing real soon?

Re: Stephanie

[secondchances]

[Be more obvious, Lana. But she drops it.]

I'd like that a lot.

[luthored]

[ Lana's skill when it comes to jumping to conclusions does not bode well with her new(?) prima donna anger issues. She'll be certain to say hi on a random rooftop before you know it. ]
