Who: Everybody who hates this moon! And a few that don't!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: The Good Ship Iskaulit
When: Throughout the Toxic Moon event

[Y'all, Misty can't be the only one who hates this place, so let's all gather on the Iskaulit, safe from all that dark and rot down on the polluted moon and have ourselves a good time!

(Or at least, a pollution-free time).

A list of establishments on the Iskaulit can be found here!]

Not a big fan of the moon either? [Kitty still goes down every now and then just to break up the time and to see something different, but she doesn't like the place so going there is feeling increasingly masochistic. She's ready for them to leave. A whole moon below and she'd rather walk through a ship's garden.]

[Setting the potion bottle down, Misty looks up from the plant she's currently tending to and shakes her head]

All rot and black down there. Ain't right.

Not exactly the vacation getaway I might have hoped for. It feels more confining than liberating. [And she always feels gross returning from it.]

Know what you mean. I can't stay down there very long. Feels like all that pollution is sinkin' into my bones.

And all the gear you have to wear. [Which is different from home, but also there was something dehumanizing about it that reminded her of some of Apocalypse's troops. It's not a fun mental comparison to be making.]

Yeah, I ain't a fan of that either. It's like we're in a warzone or some shit.

A little bit. But more of a playtime warzone. I don't get why you'd want to play at war though. [She finds the concept insulting. Training she understands, but this?]

Me either. Guess it’s better than real war though. Maybe that’s what they’re figurin’.

It is. I don't think they'd do it if they really knew what real war was, but who knows. [People are all different. She can't even say other X-Men from her world wouldn't enjoy it.]

Humans are capable of some pretty dumb shit. You never know.

That's a good point. Either way, it's not really for me. I like playing chess though.

I've never been very good at chess. You've probably figured out by now that strategy ain't exactly my thing.

Well, you have other strengths. And chess can be fun, but it can also be kind of stressful depending on the other player.

Yeah people always get too competitive about stuff like that.

Hey, I am a joy to play with. [Smirking.]

Now why don't I trust that?

I don't know. I have a perfectly trustworthy face.

[She laughs.]

Don't worry, I trust you. Just maybe not with chess.

[That admission is touching even if it is almost jokingly delivered. Trust is important and hard. And, of course, dangerous.]

Probably wise. But at least I don't cheat at it the way I do with cards?

I wouldn't know even if you were. I hardly ever play cards of any sort.

I wouldn't do it like that then. I just used to play with some boys who made cheating part of the game. Seeing who could out-cheat the others. [She can be competitive and challenging, but duplicitous isn't her thing.]

[She rolls her eyes good-naturedly.]

Boys. Shoulda known. They're always pulling crap like that.

Not a fan of people of the male persuasion?

Oh no, I mean, I like boys, but they're real dumb sometimes. Gotta always be showin' off how manly they are and shit.

I have seen some posturing in my day.

What did Wrath call it? The Hurf Durfs? [She's not sure that sounds right.]
