( kara's move-in process is thankfully fairly straightforward. she gets her housing assignment and her keys early in the morning, before the crowds begin to form in front of city hall, and finding her way to her assigned room — the very top of alpha building, in a room that faces east towards the rising sun, promised to be flooded with light from morning until sunset — proves to be easy enough with the help of a provided map.

that's about all that's easy, though. you'd think supergirl could manage something as simple as unlocking a new door with a new key, but no. you'd be quite wrong. her assignment is correct, but her sense of navigation in this new place is not. east could easily be west, right? or north? maybe even south? in any case, whatever door kara's currently trying her hardest to open, jamming the key into the lock with enough force that the metal cracks in the lock, effectively preventing herself and anyone else from entering that particular room... well, it's not hers.

oops? )

( anyone who knows kara already knows she spent her first waking hours in the city doing two very important things: one, locating and subsequently squeezing the air out of the lungs of anyone she considers a friend, and (more importantly) two, locating and sampling (devouring) the various food venues within the boundaries of the city.

therefore, she's an excellent competitor who just so happens to be gifted with the blessings of superspeed, be it on land or by air, and one who also just so happens to be pretty generous when it comes to sharing the winnings. kara's not going to choose among her friends, though. that's like choosing a favorite type of food. it can't be done. they'll have to choose for themselves.

instead, she'll send out a text message — to everyone she knows — that reads:

i'm starting at dinah's for fries and a milkshake
first person to meet me there gets to split the prize when we win the scavenger hunt :)

and, of course, the milkshake is chocolate. what other options are there? )
