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.)

[ is he smiling a little too much? he might be smiling a little too much ]

Slinky tangled out of commission already?

[ nah, this is nice of her. if he didn't have her he probably wouldn't have had the nerve to reply to this - but surely there are people who needed just that! it's also amusing because all she needs now are a few decades and a headkerchief. ]

[Oh, hi you. The smile widens and the eyes soften.]

I've been very gentle with it, and it has given me hours of entertainment. Bug girl can't live on slinky alone. [Hours may be stretching it, but she did play with her slinky. It kept giving her feels though.]

Right - Frisbee was next on the list, wasn't it?

[ she'll never have to wonder if he listens to her - even of her jokes he forgets nothing. ]

You are giving yourself entirely too many projects. [And there is a big one she doesn't even know about.] Enjoy your reality television vacation a little more.

It's no fun on my own.

[ ok, back home he has a lot of fun on his own - but back home he has every gaming console known to man along with hours of television entertainment, the internet and -- yeah, projects. ]

True of so many things. If you were less busy maybe you would be on your own less. [Or maybe that's more about her not wanting to push things even further than the already uncomfortably far place they've gone even when it means missing him.]

Eh, Chicken and the egg. [ he shrugs; he projects because he's lonely, he's lonely because he projects - does it really matter? ]

I can get away with playing a little hooky, if you have any suggestions -

[ not push things - that means go see her right now, right? ]

I do know this one girl who was kind of bored and she's rumored to be fun to hang out with... [Making such public plans despite her self-imposed reluctance!]

Sounds perfect, what is she in the mood for? [ look how happy that makes him, how can she resist ]

[She just wants to see him. She doesn't care where or what they do. But there should be a thing right? An activity?] I got a chess board from the moon. I could come over and we could play? [Of course she assumes she needs to go to him.]

[ he's gone to the moon and he's gone to the iskaulit - he'll go to her if she asks him. but he won't invite himself or suggest a different location when she offers such a great plan. ]

A chess board from the moon! That is amazing, I wonder if 'chess' is one of those inter-dimensional constants, always the same, always existing. [ always a nerdy pastime. ] Sounds great to me! I'll meet you in the docking bay? [ is he being extra-peppy to compensate for everything sucking? possibly. ]

I'm going to say maybe not. Because the board is definitely right, but the pieces themselves work, but you kind of have to assign them their roles and there are a few extras. But it still works. At least you and I both know what it is though. That's something. Different dimensions and all. [She might be doing a little of that too. Not that she's really that mired in anything sucking. After all, everything she told him was a long time ago, but she's nervous so. She's just...ignoring that and pushing through it.]
