[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

If one knows what to watch for. Yes, that's a very good way to put it.

[Well, now, that's a fascinating tidbit. His eyes open wide.]

Even moreso to them, in that case. I admit my understanding of human behavior is far more based in theory than experience, for the most part.

[passingthrough]

Then it's too bad he isn't here. [Or a relief? Who even knows with the two of them.] He was actually teaching a criminology class back in the prison. That is a strange sentence now that I think of if. Anyway, it was useful, but I'm sure it takes awhile to really hone in on things like microexpressions.

[unbearablynaive]

Microexpressions. [The Vision looks somewhere between concerned and rueful; a profiler would have a lot to say about his own expressions based on that alone.] It would be fascinating to learn, I think. Teaching criminology to prisoners hardly seems less strange than teaching computers to space-farers.

[And goodness knows he's had to do that a few times.]

[passingthrough]

It was interesting. I don't think I'd really be qualified to pass it along though.

Do you get a lot of requests for that? [Then again Makie was from a time without technology, wasn't she?]

[unbearablynaive]

I wonder if it seems as telepathy to someone unfamiliar with the technique, or if it makes one any better at poker.

The augment takes care of a great deal, but there are a fair number unfamiliar with androids. I've taken to referring to myself as a golem in those cases.

[passingthrough]

He is scarily good at poker, but he was also born in Vegas, is a genius, and can count cards. [How did she casually get herself into a conversation involving the person she misses most from the prison? Oh, right, because she misses him and tries not to talk about it probably. It just leaks out now.]

A golem, huh? Yeah, that would probably throw some people. The mutant thing confuses people too. Sometimes they think it's a negative term, so they try to convince me I'm not really one.

[unbearablynaive]

I find it difficult not to count cards. [He sounds apologetic but also smiles; it would be good to meet Kitty's friend if for no other reason than that they were friends.]

It's a fair enough simplification. In a sense, I was inanimate material brought to life by magic.

[The mutant thing makes sense, too.] They are perhaps used to mutations which harm an organism rather than help its survival. Those are called "adaptations" instead. Even so, it would be more respectful to use the term you prefer.

[passingthrough]

Well, if he ever shows up I'll direct him to you for a game. Should be an interesting match up. [Definitely interesting if he ever shows up. Probably too much to hope he'd have memories of the prison if he did.]

So many problems could have been prevented if whoever named us in the first place had gone with Adapters or something. [There's a little smile and isn't it nice to be on the ship where you can see a person's smile instead of the polluted moon.]

I knew a golem once. I mean someone who always identified that way. Or one and a third golems maybe.

[unbearablynaive]

I'd like that. [He'll even promise not to use the Mind Stone to cheat, because what fun is a game like that if you cheat?]

I can only imagine. None here have given you any difficulty, I should hope? [Even he hasn't seen too much pushback, and he's very obviously visually different than the other Fleet residents.]

One and a third? A part-human, or some other situation?

[passingthrough]

[She shakes her head.] No, nothing like home. Dean was suspicious, but we had an understanding. Not that he stayed around long.

And as far as the golems go I knew a little golden flying adorable ball and a guy who was part rock golem. I'm not sure if the math adds up, but I'm sticking with one and a third. [Because the math doesn't really matter.]

[unbearablynaive]

No, he didn't. [And he does look thoughtful about that much; the Windrose has seen a fair amount of activity recently, for all that they've finally enough room for everyone again.]

Ah--would that be Timcanpy, by any chance? I've not met any rock golems here, but Allen's friend is in the Fleet along with him.

[passingthrough]

You know Tim? Tim is here? [She may love Tim more than Allen. Sorry, Allen.]

[unbearablynaive]

I've only seen him on the videos, but yes. I believe he was rescued from a casino?

[He's glad to see her so excited, actually.]

They're both on the Blue Fish, as I recall.

[passingthrough]

I did see Allen here. [It had been kind of a big moment for her.] There was a version of him in the prison. We were friends. [He was her first friend there, and the person she always hoped would return after he left.] The one here doesn't remember anything like that.

[unbearablynaive]

He seems to be very friendly; I'd think the same would apply to either version of himself.

Or would it be too strange for you?

[passingthrough]

I'm not sure if I have strange threshold anymore. I'd rather get to know him again than avoid him. Kind of like all the X-Men who aren't actually from my world.

[unbearablynaive]

You've mentioned the X-Men before, I think. I do know Rogue, but I'm not sure who else here might be someone you knew already?

[passingthrough]

Kurt, he's blue. The most recently arrived version actually is from my home. [Her very own person from home. That's never happened before.] Remy from Wonderduck though in his world he was never actually an X-Man. Logan and Ororo. Laura too, but I never knew a version of her in my world. [And then there's Erik, but he goes by Blade and she's not sure what to call him.] A version of the leader of my world's team is here too. I guess the Atroma decided they really like us since most of that list showed up in the last two months. [She'd be listing Wanda too if she knew she was around. For all Kitty's exploring she really should get more curious about just reading crew manifests.]

[unbearablynaive]

[He'd be surprised to learn Wanda's part of that list, as he knows her well and as far as he's aware mutants in the way she describes them don't exist at all in his timeline. Still, it's impressively large and he nods.]

I do believe I've seen Kurt once or twice on the network. [Oddly colored people unite.] The others I can't say I'm familiar with. Would you consider most of them friends?

[passingthrough]

[It will likely all be very confusing one day! It doesn't help Wanda was dead before she ever joined the team, but considering she knows her Dad and brother quite well, she's seen pictures and definitely knows the name and history.]

Well... Yes. [She thinks they feel the same way at least a little? Logan gave her a cigar. If that's not friendship she doesn't know what it is.]

[unbearablynaive]

[Welcome to Marvel.]

I'm glad to hear it. I suppose you needn't have my permission, but as captain I would welcome any of your friends who should choose to visit.

[passingthrough]

[How do we transfer to the princesses singing with birds division?]

I'm glad it hear it because I might have already had a few people over. [At least there was no keg involved? And she saw Sascha off before he could try to curl up in someone else's bed.]

[unbearablynaive]

[The Vision chuckles. Not that he really uses his captain's bunk anyway, except to store more plants than he could in a normal bunk. Anyone who's sleeping over and not expressly sharing quarters with anyone would be welcome to use his.]

If you give me advanced warning next time I'll prepare some of the bacon kelp for them. It's somewhat limited until the next batch is ready to harvest, but it's a different kind of treat.

[passingthrough]

[Sascha would want someone in the bed with him though. He's a needy little vampire. And Kitty feels weirdly protective of him because he's so clearly lonely and different.] That's nice of you. I'll let you know next time Kurt is over. [Since he's the one she feels closest too after all. Same broken world.]

[unbearablynaive]

I'd like that.

Ah, likewise, should any of the Avengers I know choose to visit, I'll be certain to let you know, if you'd like to meet them as well.
