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!]

Yeah, Kara is pretty great.

Yeah she is. [ and though he's not really sure what to call what they are, she used friends a moment before and they're definitely at least that. ] So are you.

[Friends is a good safe term for right now and it actually means a lot to her. He gets a flattered smile.] Not always, but I'm trying to be better.

Seems to be working pretty well to me.

[ he smiles, because that's pretty much where he's at; not the person he'd like to be, but always trying to be better. ]

[She's going to thread their fingers together again.] What am I supposed to do with you when you're this nice? [No, really, she has no idea.]

[ he's definitely happy with that ]

Like me a whole lot?

[She smiles. That was pretty cute.] Isn't that too expected? [A girl has to tease.]

Don't we have enough surprises around here?

[ besides, this never works for him. things going the way they should is very unexpected for him! ]

You have something else in mind?

I don't. I guess I better go with your plan, huh? Or crowd source? I could ask the network what I should do? [She is definitely not doing that.]

Let's keep the crowd sourcing for important stuff. Like - ketchup versus mustard.

[There's a burst of laughter.] I already know the right answer there! Mustard for hot dogs. Ketchup for fries.

[ points! points everywhere! ]

We agree on one of those!

[So many points. He could almost redeem them for the coveted slinky.] I haven't changed your mind yet? This is tragic.

[ he'll make that slinky. he'll save the points for something bigger. ]

Come on, if I folded that easily you wouldn't respect me.

It's so unfair when you're right about the flip flopping, but also deeply, deeply wrong about the condiment.

Well if it's any consolation, I'm more of a pizza and Thai man anyway.

I love pizza. Thai is good too. [Thank you for not saying Indian. No more Reid coincidences.] The hotdog thing is more of a Chicago birthright.

See, there you go. National City is all about the pizza.

What's the crust like?

Not Chicago style - thin and crispy.

Are you ready for a very important secret? [She leans in a bit.] I actually like thin and crispy better. I get really excited about Chicago-style just because, you know, home. [And it was destroyed...twice.] And I do like it, but I'd actually rather have the other.

[ that makes him smile ]

I think we'll be alright. [ they can push through condiment-gate with the power of pizza ]

That's a relief. So I can top mentally writing my "Dear Winn" letter? [She needs to stop making these jokes, doesn't she? Especially when being left is the thing that does scare her.]

I would -- prefer that.

[ it scares him too. as they've discussed, he's not exactly swimming in friends, and even if he were - kitty is special to him. even joking about it is kind of beyond his comfort zone. ]

[She knows it's making him a little nervous and she knows she should stop but it's a really bad system for pumping the breaks a little. Not a fair one to him. She doesn't want things to go too fast...emotionally. Physically, sure. It's her heart that's fragile, not her body.]

Anything for you.

Actually, I really should pay you back somehow for the costume.
