Kara Danvers

[ Kara, for her part, has been her regular chipper self—with a caveat. She has been stress cleaning EVERYTHING. Well, everything in public areas. The kitchen, the bridge, everything. She may also be trying some creative crafting to brighten the place up, isn't it nice? Cute hand towels in the kitchen really just add to the space, don't you think?

You can catch her wiping the counters down or reorganizing the armory, or in some other situation. Perhaps she's barring your way in the corridor? ]

Chloe Price

A - Moving Day

[With recent departures from the ship, there is suddenly an empty room waiting for the Tourist's blue haired 'doctor', and Chloe meant to grab it before anyone else had a chance.]

[Which was why she could be found throughout the day moving her things from the lab to the room, also...some of the lab stuff? That sure is a box of medication she's carrying to her room...]

B - Other times

[People paying attention might notice Chloe only sleeps on the ship about half the time, though she hasn't talked much about why unless asked. She just isn't around a lot! But when she is, she can be found in the lab listening to music and killing time doing lab stuff.]

[Before meals, mostly dinner, if she's around she can be found cooking, humming to herself and doing what she can with what's around. She isn't a miracle worker, but she's been able to do some decent things with the 'food' they have been left. Hopefully someone else likes cleaning up though cause the kitchen is a disaster area when she's done.]

[ Kara notices Chloe moving things and comes over! ]

Do you need any help with anything? I'm shockingly good at carrying things.

[helladoomed]

Hey, sure. [Chloe nods back towards the lab.]

Grab one of the boxes off my desk.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ heads back to get a box ]

Moving on up, huh? It's too bad there are open spaces, but also pretty great for you, huh?

[helladoomed]

Somebody else's misfortune is my good luck, yup.

[Chloe doesn't even feel bad about it, from the look of things.]

[takingkarabusiness]

It worked out that way for me recently, too. Though I have my office too, so it wasn't so bad before.

[helladoomed]

[Chloe grins as she opens the door to her new quarters.]

Hey, just cause I'm moving in here doesn't mean the lab isn't still mine.

[takingkarabusiness]

I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't, just that maybe it wasn't the homiest of places to sleep.

[helladoomed]

It really wasn't. The beds weren't as bad as I was expecting though.

[She shrugs, setting her box down and looking around her little 'room.']

So these are it, huh?

[takingkarabusiness]

You were expecting something else?

[ also sets her box down out of the way. she's not judging in her question, just asking curiously ]

[helladoomed]

Hmm. Not sure. Yes? [She turned in a slow circle.]

I mean, I figured, since Max's room is pretty cramped when we're both in there but...

[A shrug.]

I don't know. You'd think if this is a reality show, full of drama and ratings-grabbing shit, they'd want to give us lots of bedroom space. And bigger beds.

[takingkarabusiness]

Is Max who you've been staying with?

But I agree. They could do with a little more... space. And color.

[helladoomed]

Yeah. She lives over on the Paisley.

[Chloe smiled faintly to herself, then shrugged.]

Color would be cool, but seriously. There's no room for like, shenanigans and shit in these tiny rooms. That'd make for way better ratings.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would think you'd want to avoid your shenanigans being made public...

[helladoomed]

Didn't say it's what I'd want. Just thinkin' like they probably do.

Plus, you know, it'd mean bigger rooms for us.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, that would help. Though I can't say that bed space is something that affects me right now.

I met Max, though. The photographer? She's really nice.

[helladoomed]

Yeah, the photographer. She's...[My best friend. My girlfriend.] from back home. Known her forever. And yeah bed space is a thing for me, since she's all elbows and keeps getting me in the stomach when I'm sleeping.

[Chloe said this in a way where she didn't actually seem to mind it? That it was sort of cute? Oh god kill her.]

No boyfriend, huh? Or girlfriend or...I don't know, I guess alien friend would be a thing here.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ha ha ha ha what are you talking about ]

Alien friend?

But um, no. Of either. Though it would usually be a boyfriend. If I had one. Which I don't.

Oh, but my best friend just showed up!

[helladoomed]

I don't know how alien genders work, man. It's either everybody's female like star trek or weird ass tentacle shit like porn.

[Tact was not her thing.]

Best friend, huh? [Chloe grinned.] Maybe thing's'll change for you then, cause my best friend turned up out of no where back home and a week later, well...

I mean, I'm crashing in her room half the time, not a hard picture to draw.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, well. I really like what we have, you know? I wouldn't want to put our friendship in jeopardy if it didn't work out...

[ she may have said this once or twice before. it's kind of rehearsed. ]

[helladoomed]

Uh huh. [Chloe made a point of looking behind her, as if searching for Kara's teleprompter, then back to her with a smirk.]

Figure if you say it enough it'll suddenly be true?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ha ha ha ]

It's true!

[ a moment, because she knows she's not being convincing ]

For me, anyway.

[helladoomed]

Hey, if you say so. [Chloe shrugs.]

Trust me though, if it's not, don't dick around pretending it is and don't wait. You never know when life is gonna shoot you in the face.

[takingkarabusiness]

Being forward has never been my strong suit.

But it sounds like you're speaking from experience.
