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!]

Ew. [It's going to be kinky and weird isn't it? Though she's pretty sure he's kidding. Like 85%.]

[winn]

What! They're pretty damn epic -

[ only in the little boy with a shiny new toy sort of way. ] - and you offered!

[passingthrough]

I mocked. You should really learn the difference. It would save you from more embarrassing situations. [Does it help if she smiles while she says it?]

[winn]

You'd think --

[ but he'll just find another way to get to the exact same place. all roads lead to embarrassing situations. ]

[passingthrough]

Unless you secretly like embarrassing situations. Or maybe finding them is your power.

[winn]

It's my superpower.

[ he nods, finally reluctantly letting go of her claws ]

I share it with whoever's around uncontrollably.

[passingthrough]

You're saying I'm infected now? [That would explain so much of their last time together if this was anything but a new running joke.]

[winn]

Don't worry, the effects only last as long as I'm around.

[ when in doubt, blame the awkward nerdiness. ]

[passingthrough]

That could be hard for people who like being around you.

You know, like...Kara. [Did you think she was going to say "me"?]

[winn]

[ nah, that would require having confidence ]

Don't worry, she can take it.

[ can you~? ]

But just in case, let's make it worth her while - what do you think we need?

[passingthrough]

[Aw, now it's sad.]

She does seem built for it. I don't embarrass easily. [IF ANYONE WAS WONDERING FOR ANY REASON. It's just being said. Sometimes things are just said and they don't mean anything.]

A magic portable sun generator that also makes ice cream.

[winn]

Good to know.

[ he smiles. of course, it's just a perfectly natural part of the conversation! ]

Right -- I was thinking parts -

[ since they've got stores and all around. ]

[passingthrough]

Always thinking small, but okay, I guess we can start with things that are possible. We'll need radiation shielding.

[winn]

That, I got covered.

[ smug grin is a go ]

Let's see if we can get something to start playing with.

[passingthrough]

Frisbee? [She is the most helpful. She will just playfully tug his arm along with her as she takes a few steps backwards.] Let's just shop and see what we find.

[winn]

Slinky first, one goal at a time.

[ he lets her pull him along ]

This is gonna be fun. [ he's practically bouncing ]

[passingthrough]

I am concerned about your basic definition of fun. [But she's having a nice time too if she's honest. Her hand slips from where it was on his forearm down to brush his fingers before letting go since they are adults who know how to walk on their own and all.]

[winn]

Well, I have been spending a while in the land of 'laundry and cooking is fun!' -

[ don't read too much into it don't read too much into it don't read too much into it he clears his throat. ]

But come on, we get to explore alien stores! That's pretty damn cool.

[passingthrough]

How very domestic of you. [Not that there's anything wrong with that. It sounds simple in a good way. She would probably be bored out of her mind, but you know, in theory. And if she had a book while she's doing it then problem solved.]

You know you don't get to buy aliens at them, right? Also, we're the aliens here.

[winn]

[ actually no, he doesn't find it fun either, not in the least. but it's what other people have been telling him to do for fun. because being trapped is not bad enough! it has to also be...boring. how is space travel with people from all over the multiverse boring for even a second? ]

Technicalities! Come on, we could find stuff here we can't even imagine! Who knows what kind of discoveries were made in these reaches of space!

[passingthrough]

Like a slinky? [Teasing, but his optimism is really refreshing in a way. It's easy to forget about past horrors or even future struggles for awhile with him.]

[winn]

Like a space slinky!

[ he distinction is super important, ok ]

Maybe it can't be twisted up, maybe it keeps going and going, maybe they've found a way to harness a slinky's motion energy to power the world! Not...likely though, not here. [ since. a world that runs on slinkies wouldn't be a polluted hellhole. ] But still! The possibilities are endless and beyond our comprehension!

[ it's nice for him too, to be able to unleash some optimism and excitement, after the nerves and fear that were basically his existence on board. ]

[passingthrough]

I've been so short sighted. Space things so much better than regular, non-space things. Except for food. [She leads him into a shop that looks like it has hardware supplies.]

[winn]

Oh definitely, space food has a lot to learn. And space entertainment -

[ he follows her in, checking out the inventory with fascination ]

[passingthrough]

Am I not being entertaining enough? Do I need to start juggling while I walk through things? [That wouldn't work out well for the things she was juggling.]
