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.)

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. ]}

Well, Kurt. One of them is from my world, but they both count. Rogue, Remy, [he wasn't an X-Men in his world, but she's still including him] Erik. Mm, there are others, but it gets more complicated. [She feels like she should count Laura and Charles even though she met them more recently, but then Mystique and Hank are harder to pin down because of who they are here or who they were at home.]

Remy LeBeau?

_{[ Huh, interesting. If that was the right Remy, but he had a feeling
it was. ]}

You know him? [How many Remys do you think are running around?]

_{[ You never know! And it's better to be sure than make an assumption
and cause issues. ]}

Yeah, I know him. We've shared a couple drinks, and he helped me out planet side when I got tossed into that mud pit fight.

_{[ He knows him quite a bit better than that, but he's not sure if he
should be saying that sort of thing or not, given he's not sure exactly of
the relationship he and Kitty have, or if Remy would even want that out
there. ]}

Mud pit fight? Sounds messy and kind of dangerous since icky pollution everywhere.

But yeah, Remy's a good guy. [She probably shouldn't cast these assessments wide enough for people from other realities, but nothing about him has told her otherwise here.]

They say it's clean, and since I am not dead, I am willing to believe them, but I also showered right away. So who knows?

I like him. He's quite fun.

_{[ For... a lot of reasons. But he'll be keeping those to himself.
]}

He owes me a shirt, actually.

The living does seem like a good indication.

[She raises and eyebrow at that last bit.] Do I want to know?

An interesting night at the bar. Let's leave it at that.

O...kay. [That sounded a little more serious than she expected.] Consider it left.

It's nothing bad! Just - I'm not one to kiss and tell. Not without permission.

_{[ He didn't think Remy would mind, and to someone else that wasn't
Kitty he might say it, but he didn't know their relationship, so he felt it
best to let Remy handle saying how far they went if he wanted to say
anything at all. ]}

Uh... What? [Just looking dumbfounded. There wasn't literally a kiss was there? Just an expression?]

Well, I see my work here is done and I should stop before I dig a hole bigger than I can climb out of.

_{[Smile smile, nothing to see here, Kitty, move along! ]}

Umm...yeah, I guess so. [What just happened?] So, new topic... Pineapples. For or against? [What? You try coming up with a new topic after something like that.]

_{[ It's as good as any. ]}

I like them, but I prefer apples. I love a nice, fresh apple. God, I miss those...

[Well, he ran with it. She smiles slowly after a few beats.] Polluted moon not doing it for you with supplies either? I'm kicking myself for going for junk food at the space station.

They're doing as well as they can, I think, with what they have - but yeah, it's leaving things to be desired. Makes me feel bad for the people, you know?

Sure. I'm sure it's probably harder for some to relocate than others. And definitely not easy for just anyone to fix the problem.
