Comments

[beathach]

[Kitty no. Hank glances at her again, frowning, but he doesn't say anything about her joke. Geez]

They definitely don't need ideas. [he agrees, he knows these sort of places don't need any encouragement whatsoever]

It's - a nice bridge? [not that he has anything to compare to but the Blameless']

[passingthrough]

[Winn could probably feel a little of both. Don't mind the mutants. They're just going to share a meaningful look, okay? Hers is a little apologetic.]

I'm on ours a lot. Pilot and all. Sadly, it is not a job that comes with my very own couch or lab or... [She looks at Winn.] Did you get perks on the ship you abandoned?

[winn]

Maybe? [ he shrugs, he barely ever goes there and he never really bothered exploring it too much. he should probably feel bad. he doesn't.

he's mostly curious about that look and -- kind of hanging back to let everyone else to pass him onto the bridge. it's not his favorite part of the vessel. and by that he means he actually kind of hates being here. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

It has the best view of space. Which... is probably why Winn is hiding behind Hank.

[ she's teasing ]

[beathach]

[he makes a decent hiding spot. He glances behind him to look at Winn]

Not a fan?

[passingthrough]

[The look isn't something she'd explain honestly in front of the whole group even if Kara and Hank already know. Much better to focus on captain scaredy pants.]

He managed to make it to the moon and the Iskaulit at least?

[winn]

[ which is why he's not asking. too many people around for feelsy talks. for now, he'll fall on his sword and take the jokes - it's not like he's unused to them anyway and hey, at least making fun of his phobia is good for bonding!

the truth is he only really managed to make those journeys because they were for the sake of project plato - for kara - but that's not really helping his case any. ]

And back -- which is way more of a feat.

[ because it meant leaving solid ground, booze, and kitty. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

We're all very proud of you, Winn.

[ the thing is, she actually does mean it ]

So. Where to next?

[beathach]

[Hank won't tease, he'll just give Winn a sympathetic look. He isn't afraid of space or heights, but he has other fears, so he gets it]

Me too.

What else is there to see? Er, aside from the lab.

[passingthrough]

Bathrooms and bedrooms and cargo which we've all seen by coming on board. [None of that sounds very tour-like except maybe the bedroom and that's just asking for awkward revisited.]

[winn]

[ and now he feels like a child showing his very ugly drawing to his parents. the teasing is almost better. ]

Touring a spaceship sounds a lot more exciting than it is.

[takingkarabusiness]

In my defense, I told Hank it was boring.

[ teasing ]

We could just peek into my room because The Blameless only has one sleeping area?

[beathach]

Mm, it's just the one area for now. [and the lab, but that's where he slept because sometimes old habits will never break]

But I told you I wouldn't find it boring. I'm not bored.

[passingthrough]

Touring the Tourist. It's a great story no matter what happens. We're probably making tons of bonus money right now.

[winn]

All we need are some 'I toured the Tourist and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' souvenirs.

[ which. he may end up making when he's out of projects. puny t-shirts for every ship! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'd wear it.

And not just on laundry day, or when I break the washing machines.

[ she's going to head toward her room though. SEE WHAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IN THE FUTURE, HANK? privacy. ]

[beathach]

[HE HAS PRIVACY IN THE LAB KARA!!]

I'd buy one? [it isn't nerdy enough for him to wear sry]

[passingthrough]

[But Kara doesn't sleep in your lab, Hank.]

Pass. I have a reputation to maintain. Apparently I've decided that reputation is not touring the Tourist. [She smiles at Winn.] Everything is a clothing opportunity for you.

[She hangs toward the back as they head toward the bedroom.] You guys can head in first. I was already in Kirk's bedroom.

[winn]

[ he'd make a joke about her reputation surviving kissing him in public, but he doesn't want to be the one to make it awkward-er again. ]

I could make a commemorative Candy Crush, but the graphics would kind of suck.

[ he shrugs; he's got two major skills here and one of them is severely impaired, which is probably making it seem like fashion is way more important to him than it is...it's just costumes, kitty, he swears!

the comment about kirk brings a certain strain to his face, so he turns back towards the others. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara is kind of feeling like, well, this was meant to be a two person tour so kitty can join or not as she wants, but the more the merrier, right? Right. ]

I haven't, and I'm not sure I'd want to. I bet he leaves clothes on the floor.

[beathach]

[given the state of his own office back home, he has no place whatsoever to talk about how a person keeps their room neat or not.

So instead he'll glance at Winn, brows furrowed] Candy Crush? [why would you crush candy??]

[passingthrough]

[She's back here! She just wanted others to get the better view. But now she's looking at Winn and wishing she hadn't said anything. She already told him Kirk hadn't hit on her (much) when he asked.]

No idea, but I support candy. [She reaches forward to touch Winn's hand. There's an apologetic look waiting for you.]

[winn]

It's a match-three puzzle game.

[ he nudges her hand lightly in return and offers a small smile back. she doesn't really owe him an apology, and he's aware of it, which just makes him appreciate it more. he's not used to having his feeling that guarded. ]

They're pretty popular back on our earth.

[takingkarabusiness]

I maintain it should cause your phone to dispense candy when you match three, but for some reason the app developers won't get back to me.

[ opens her door et voilà, her room. It's organized and has some cute accents here and there. Definitely has a "her" feeling ]

[beathach]

[if he keeps asking questions they'll be here all day, but he does quirk a smile at what Kara says]

Something after my - uh, time, then. [you sound old, Hank. He peers into Kara's room] . . . I'm definitely jealous. This is nice.

[having your own space in general was nice]
