Who: Kara & Friends (and future friends)
Broadcast: video / fleetwide
Action: The Tourist, kitchen or Kara's room
When: now!

[ In her broadcast, Kara is in her PJs, hair down and glasses off. She looks like she just woke up not too long ago and the overall vibe is very "confessional vlog". She doesn't seem distressed, just a little confused, and tired—though her eternal optimism is always there somewhere. ]

Hey, so, question: On a scale from "wow that's super weird we've never heard of something like that" to "it must be a Wednesday on the Fleet", how common is it to just like, get a bunch of "new" information from home? Which, now that I think about it, is kind of a dumb thing to ask because we have implants that give us job skills training. But I'm just wondering. Uh, in the abstract? Something like that.

Anyway, I'm going to go get some coffee and food because I'm starving. Who knew that sleeping was such hard work?

[ winn catches the broadcast - and drops what he was working on to head straight for the kitchen where he grabs the first thing he can get his hands on - and then to kara's room. he knocks on the door. ]

Room service -

[ she was already up, so she'll open the door for him ]

Hey, Winn. You're going to spoil me.

[winn]

Let's -- see what it is before you say that.

[ because he has no earthly idea what he grabbed to go along with the coffee. he steps inside and offers her the plate and cup, taking a seat without waiting for an invitation. ]

I've heard about -- that sort of thing happening before. What...do you remember? [ is she up to his time? she doesn't seem mad, that he hadn't told her - but she could still be processing?

has she passed him? is what she remembers the truth - or is the wiring to their brain feeding her false memories? he really doesn't think it's likely that she remembers anything that should concern him about his relationship with kitty - but considering both of their lucks he can't completely rule it out either -

what does he worry about first? ]

[This is not what she wanted to wake up to and it feels like a punch to the gut. It's just too close to home. Too close to the person she never wants this to happen to. It's one of the reasons she was afraid to get close to Winn in the first place. That he might wake up someday and realize he's in love with someone else back home. It might have already happened. Maybe it's something Kara knows about now.

But this isn't about her or her relationship right now. It's about Kara. Her friend just had a surprising, maybe difficult thing happen, so she initiates a call. She doesn't do video because she doesn't trust her expressions right now.]

It happens here. I checked into it. [Because of course she did.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks for doing the legwork for me, Kitty. I appreciate it.

[ she thinks the audio-only is a little strange. they're friends, right? and her voice... ]

Everything okay?

[passingthrough]

[She probably should have gone with text, but since she never chooses to text that would probably have been even more suspicious. Of course she's not answering her.]

That should be my question. How much new time was it?

[beathach]

[she doesn't look distressed, so he reigns in the immediate worry he has] I think I've heard mention of it? Uh - not much, but - that it happens.

Are you alright?

[takingkarabusiness]

I am... it's just... it's really weird, you know?

[beathach]

It sounds really weird, yeah. Uh - how much did you remember?

[grounds]

Wednesday. Happened to me last month.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah?

How... was it? For you?

[grounds]

Crazy. I heard it happens, but it's still a lot to process. Three months of memories all at once really knocks you on your ass.

audio; who is too lazy to turn on video rn? idk probably not qing tbh

[shoujoreject]

It... can actually get a little stranger than that, sometimes. But it does seem like it happens.

I can't say it's happened to me yet, though I don't know that there's anything I would learn that would be different from what I already know.

[There's a pause, a consideration before the question. Is it rude to ask? Probably.]

Have you had a [Another pause, trying to find the word - Kara might note a mumbled word in Cantonese where he's recalling English] troubled time, then?

[takingkarabusiness]

Stranger? How?

And I wouldn't say that. It's just new information. Nothing dramatic one way or the other.

[ kara that's a lie ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He's passing through the kitchen anyway, so he'll pause to help out here. ]

Fairly common. It has not happened to me before, but I've seen a few people go through it.

[He'll fold his arms, resting against the wall. ]

I'm assuming this is what has happened to you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, it did... it's just a really weird thing, you know?

[ cisco is already at his make-do lab at the three twins, arching an eyebrow at her ]

dude, nothing is going to sound crazy around here. glad to see you back in Oz after your visit to Kansas though.

[takingkarabusiness]

Hey!

Is that your lab? Where'd you end up?

[tallasaking]

[Thank you for perking up Tyrion's interest this morning, Kara. He's barely awake as it is, so you get a messy golden head of curls, two slightly bleary mis-matched eyes, and a cup of coffee almost the size of Tyrion's head.]

Pardon me, but did you say you had new information about your world ... downloaded into your head?

[takingkarabusiness]

Um yeah... something like that. That's probably the best way I can think to put it.

Has it happened to you?

[theirinurpants]

You mean, aside from someone showing up here from the future and telling you about things that are going to happen?

[takingkarabusiness]

That's kind of what I'm doing now...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Wait, we get news from home?! What kind of news, like letters or something?! Can we write back?!

[Oh wow, that is one enthusiastic pink pony appearing on the vid. Guess she must be new.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ I mean, she's seen weirder, but not by much ]

Um... not really. More like just gaining more information. But it's like watching a movie of your life?

[video]

[thebarkside]

[ jade is just going to assume, by this point, that she's had her questions answered. this is a particularly interesting subject to her, though, if only because she'd watched so much if it happen and seen so much strange fallout in asgard. ]

I hope they were good memories.
