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?

[ kara feels shitty for bringing it up in the first place. she should know better ]

That stuff's not super common with me, anyway. Just. Waking up with a ton of new information.

[passingthrough]

[Well, she only told Kara she was afraid of losing people. She never mentioned how she lost the last person she loved.] No. I know. I just think it's common in...these places. It's...obviously never happened to me. [Because there's nothing more to add except maybe feeling herself die which she is fine skipping.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ well now she thinks this is where the mistake was ]

Oh, Kitty. I'm sorry. I didn't even think...

[passingthrough]

[She shakes her head which is helpful over audio.] Don't be. It's more stable this way. [Just the lives around her that change unpredictably.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay...

[ it's just that u have a strong reaction to this, kitty ]

Anyway, everyone's fine.

Well. Siobhan's in prison. So I think that makes it double fine?

[passingthrough]

Fine is good. [No, Kitty. By definition fine is fine.]

Siobhan was her name? [Not that she's interested or anything... He must really have a thing for women with powers if she managed to be Kara's nemesis.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Siobhan Smythe. It even sounds evil.

[passingthrough]

There must have been something about her for Winn to... [want to be with her so much that it didn't matter if she was Kara's enemy?] date her.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think he was mostly removed from our feud, if it helps. He didn't really know all the behind-the-scenes stuff.

[ but he totally should have ]

[passingthrough]

[It doesn't really help. She's trying to ignore all the feelings this is bringing up. She's doing a terrible job of it.]

Are you okay? Did anything big for you come up? [She does care about Kara. It's not just a distraction for herself. ...But it might act as both.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean... yeah?

[ a question. deciding how much to get into. there's so much. her sister killing her aunt, her sister the fugitive, her turn at being evil, the multiverse... ]

Nothing I didn't handle, though.

[passingthrough]

Handled is good. Seems like they'd want to give you something to really throw you off.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, well.

It's a lot to unpack, but everyone's alive.

[passingthrough]

Alive... That's good. [She was so worried about who Winn was with she didn't even stop to wonder if something serious could have happened to him.] That is the ideal way for people you care about to be.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah...

[ there she goes again, being flippant ]

Anyway.

[passingthrough]

Yeah... I should let you go. You probably want to sort this out. [And Kitty can tell she's not being helpful. So, doing less harm would be the right way to go.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Kitty, I want to talk to you about stuff, but I feel like I said something wrong?

private, video

[passingthrough]

[There's another pause before she switches the feed to video and makes it private. She definitely doesn't look like the happy girl from the dance days ago.]

You didn't. No one did anything wrong. [Well, maybe Kitty, but let's go with no one.]

[takingkarabusiness]

That sounds a little ominous, Kitty.

[passingthrough]

I'm not planning to be your nemesis or try to take over the fleet if that's what you mean.

[takingkarabusiness]

No, but it doesn't sound like this conversation is headed in an optimistic direction, either.

[passingthrough]

That's up to you. They're your new memories. [As if that's all there is to it.]

[takingkarabusiness]

What's that supposed to mean?

[passingthrough]

I mean you're the one who knows what you're about to say about home. I'm just here to talk to my friend.

[takingkarabusiness]

Right.

I don't really know where to start, Kitty. A lot happened.
