April enjoys taking the time to explore the Nexus, whenever she has the opportunity. Today, she had already been in the Commercial District, picking up some school supplies for the children, and some new fabrics for her next clothing line.

She was heading to her door, passing by a few people as she does, when suddenly April stops. There is a gazed far-away look in her eyes for a moment.

April turns, looking around for a moment as if she had misplaced something. Or is looking for someone. She sets down her bags for a moment, before taking a seat. There still seems to be something amiss, since she tilts her head back and forth, for a moment, as if listening to something that is not there.

"Are you lost? Do you need help?" When she speaks, her question is soft.

[April has psychic abilities, and can sense danger to people around her. If you wish for her to sense something about your character, please let me know]

Comments

"Thank you. It's fun to coordinate," she admits with a smile. "If I could just get Bobbi to wear heels I'd be set. We'd be super stylish and she couldn't run off like this."

Bobbi has no idea what April's talking about. Bold is good! Bold is heroes! And she can get away with anything. Just look at all the attention she's getting right now!

[slayers_desire]

"Well, now that I know she has found her owner safely, I don't believe we have officially met." April offers her hand. "I'm April."

[brave_heart_verity]

"Verity. Nice to meet you." Ver's much better at shaking hands than Bobbi. Her hands are clean and Bobbi didn't even offer when they met! What kinda stuff have they been teaching her in those obedience classes anyway? "So you're related to Wil and Clark and Jonathan?"

Wait. There was another one... "And Laura?"

She really hopes she remembered them all this time.

[slayers_desire]

April smiles softly. "Yes. I am Clark's wife. And the mother of Jonathan, Laura and Wil."

"I understand that future versions of my children do come to the Nexus. The ones I know are seven, five and three, respectively."

[brave_heart_verity]

"Oh. That must get complicated." She's never done any but the usual sort of time traveling but she's seen just enough of what it can cause to know she does not like the idea.

[slayers_desire]

"I have never met any of the older versions, but just wanted to mention it. After all, if I start talking about adventures the children have, I wouldn't want someone who knows the older versions think it is a recent adventure."

"And if you are worried about talking about a future event... don't be. If it is an important event, I would likely sense it anyway."

[brave_heart_verity]

"It would seem a little strange if you were talking about the older Wil learning to tie his shoes or something," she agrees with a smirk.

The smirk doesn't last long. That kind of talk puts her on edge. "You can see the future?"

[slayers_desire]

"I occasionally get visions of possible outcomes." April knows that sometimes her abilities makes other people uncomfortable.

"It was those visions that let me sense Bobbi was lost."

That hat... :D

[brave_heart_verity]

"Oh." She's misinterpreting that, but not on purpose. Time works differently where she came from. "All the possible outcomes? That must get confusing."

I love some of the fashion this Pup comes with

[slayers_desire]

"It is hard to describe. It is like a soft hum in my mind, that has always been there, so I don't even notice it anymore."

"The visions get intense when they have something important to tell me. Like a little puppy is lost and alone."

[brave_heart_verity]

It's a good thing April isn't psychic, because nobody should have to suffer that and then know how terribly jealous Verity is. She can ignore it. Lucky.

"How convenient. Speaking of, I should get her home. Make sure she remembers where it is."

[slayers_desire]

"Well, despite the circumstance, I am glad it led to us meeting."

[brave_heart_verity]

"So'm I. It's nice to meet another member of your family. Have I completed the set yet?" The smirk that marks the joke isn't quite lost when she bends down to scoop Bobbi up. Wriggly puppies can get cuddles instead of another chance to run off.

[slayers_desire]

"I don't think so." April tilts her head slightly. "Clark and I are looking into adoption, to add to our family right now."

"And I don't know if any adopted children have come here or not."

[brave_heart_verity]

"Ah. Big family." Something she knows nothing about. "You must really like doing the 'mom' thing."

[slayers_desire]

"I love spending time with my children. Each day is an adventure."

"Clark was adopted when he was young. And I didn't have my parents around during my childhood."

"In a way, we both wanted more for our family."

[brave_heart_verity]

"Well. From what I've seen, you're doing fine." Not that where Ver came from sets the bar high on that; the kids of capes who don't turn out to be psychotic are generally considered a win by default. Then again, plenty of the so-called heroes are pretty screwed up too.

Maybe it's easier where the Kents come from.

[slayers_desire]

"I am glad to hear that they are all making friends. People they can talk to."

[brave_heart_verity]

"From what I've seen, they're doing just fine on that front." Would they say she's their friend? She's not sure. She doesn't dislike them, but she doesn't know them very well yet. Then again, knowing someone well is usually when they ditch her, so... distance is good. "But with so many of them growing up together I suppose they can't help but learn how to get along with people?"

[slayers_desire]

"Well, they get along great as children. Jon and Laura are very social. Wil takes his time to get to know people."

[brave_heart_verity]

"Not everyone can be an extrovert." Case in point. "I really should be going now. Thanks again for your help."

[slayers_desire]

"I was glad to be of help. I hope you have a better day, now that Bobbi is going back home safe and found."

[brave_heart_verity]

"I think things are looking up." Bobbi's big adventure may be over for the day, but home is good too.

Ver gives April a small smile before she turns to go.
