Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

_{[ He lives with them, but frankly he hasn't been feeling well lately and has been avoiding people in case he has something contagious, though he has a feeling it's his allergies acting up. And when he's feeling better, he usually goes down to the planet, so they haven't seen much of each other as it turns out.

This time both eyebrows grow up. ]}

Winn? Really?

_{[ That... was fast. Or maybe he just hasn't been paying attention which is entirely likely given his head has been in a fog a lot lately. That and he thought he was hung up on Kara. ]}

[It's a little fast. It's also her slowest moving relationship if you don't count the one that started with a crush when she was 13.]

What is this surprise about?

I just thought...

_{[ He purses his lips, clearly trying to be diplomatic. He didn't want to ruin a budding relationship after all, and changes his mind on saying something. ]}

It's nothing, just surprisingly fast is all. If it's working for you both, then congrats.

[Suspicious.]

I've seen you move faster. [Okay, she didn't really see much, but she's pretty sure his bed didn't stay too lonely at the station.]

Hah, yeah, but I would never say I'm 'taken'.

_{[ You see the difference, Kitty? ]}

They must be so flattered. [She sees it and does wonder if it was too strong a term, but after what she and Winn shared recently... Well, she wasn't going to take it back either.]

Hey, I'm upfront about what it is we're getting up to.

_{[ He shrugs, not in the least sorry. He doesn't want to be tied down, and he made that clear. ]}

Still - good for you guys. Guess that means you'll be around the Tourist more?

Maaaaybe. Do you miss me? Are you hoping to hang out more? [Trying to turn the tables because she feels very exposed with all these very relationshipy things he's assuming that she's not ready to admit but can't actually deny!]

_{[ Word choice, Kitty, word choice. It's why he's so surprised! ]}

Of course you know I miss you. If someone has to walk through the wall of my room, you know I want it to be you.

_{[ He smirked at her. ]}

It has been awhile hasn't it? We should get together before my allergies attack again.

[Sometimes words just slip out.]

I guess I could just poke my head in whenever I visit Winn and hope I get a show. [Is Winn listening to this. Is he making sad faces? Maybe she should...be less like this.]

I'm sure I'll see you at the masquerade, right? What are you allergic to anyway? Dying moons?

I'll remember to strip down to my drawers every time I'm alone in my room, just in case.

_{[ He maybe should back off, but old habits die hard. He doesn't mean any of it though, he wouldn't do that to Winn. ]}

If I'm better, absolutely. And heck if I know. At least it's not bad - nothing odd has swollen up.

That would be a real time saver. Thanks.

[It's fine. She can control herself. She didn't jump him last time she saw him in his underthings.]

Glad to hear only non-odd things are potentially swollen.

_{[ It's true, she didn't. Probably a good thing too - he didn't know if there was enough hot water for another shower. ]}

There was that one time my hands swelled up like a pair of cartoon character gloves. And I did temporarily lose vision once.

_{[ He does not react well to certain things, Kitty. Not at all. ]}

[Small wonders.]

You sound like a man of many allergies. I hope your ship has a good doctor. [For as often as she's been on the ship she really hasn't met anyone other than those she knew prior to being there.]

Hah, don't tell Chloe, but if I have a medical emergency I'm going to Beverely over on the Blue Fish.

Take me to her before you use one of your unique and memorable plans for my demise.

Ouch. That hurts a little. [Amused. She likes Chloe.] Then again I guess it makes sense to go to someone who had actually been a doctor before.

_{[ No offense, it's just Bev is Star Fleet. He naturally trusts her more than the teenage girl with the augment. ]}

Yeah, that was my thought. And she's Fleet, so I might be a little biased too.

I understand that. Time displaced fleet, right? She's from your future? Or an alternate one?

She's from an alternate future. But, who knows? Maybe in my future she'll be exactly as she is here. Hard to say just yet.

Stranger things have happened. It's good you both have someone kind of from home.

Yes, definitely. I'm sure we both wish we were each from the other's time, but it's nice just to have someone Fleet on board. And it's interesting - learning about a possible future.

When I mentioned I'd met people from her ship she was eager to hear about it. I guess you know something about that. [Since they'd had a Pavel chat. She still misses him.]

Haha, yeah. The crew... they're family, you know? It's nice to hear of family, to know they're doing all right. It's like hearing about home when you've been gone for six months.

I know. Also true of teams. I have an embarrassment of family here. [Some feel more like it than others if she's honest, but it's such a shortcut? It took her so long to form bonds like this in the prison. Partially because her trust issues were off the chart at first and partially because it was all new and different and human or at least not mutant.]

Hah, you're lucky then.

... Whom might those be?

_{[ He's curious, because... well, he's never heard of any of them, and no one he's met has mentioned knowing Kitty, but then she's never come up in conversation. Not for lack of being conversation worthy, it just never ventured there. And Kirk doesn't kiss and tell. ]}
