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?

[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.

[passingthrough]

The beginning? Or whatever stands out the most to you?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ There's so much context that Kitty doesn't know... it was just easier to talk about Winn ]

My sister killed my aunt? My uncle is trying to kill everyone on Earth? There's a thing a human invented that basically makes me evil Kara? I don't know, Kitty.

[passingthrough]

...That is a lot. [And for the moment she really does leave her own worries behind.] Should I come over?

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you want to?

Maybe it'd be better if I came over there.

[passingthrough]

It's fine. Whichever you want. [She's not going to not come over just because he's there.]

video >> action

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll come over.

[ and she does! it doesn't take too long and unless kitty is waiting for her, she'll knock on her door ]

[passingthrough]

[She lets her just meet her at her room. Less awkward small talk from the shuttle to her room. She opens the door and then moves in for a hug only a little awkwardly.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ there's definitely a hug, which she appreciates. she misses her sister so much ]

Thanks.

[passingthrough]

I'm sorry I was making it harder.

[takingkarabusiness]

I was being dumb about it. Winn's entirely inconsequential drama feels a lot more manageable than everything else.

[passingthrough]

[It's not inconsequential to Kitty, but it's not what she wants to think about right now.] Um, have a seat. [Don't worry, the sheets are clean and the bed is made?] It sounds like it was a lot for not being a very long time.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sits, not even thinking about that ]

My life is pretty exciting, what can I say?

Most of it's pretty related, though. My uncle is trying to kill everyone on Earth. It tends to lead to things.

[passingthrough]

[Good. Best not to. There's not even really room for other seating options in here though she's working on an upgrade to the size of rooms the Tourist has.]

Why does your uncle want to kill everyone? And did you know your uncle was alive before? [Because she only remembers hearing about her cousin.] Is this your cousin's father?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, definitely not my cousin's father. Non's wife is my mother's twin, Astra. She was working with him but... Alex killed her so.

[ which is pretty miserable to talk about ]

Anyway. Non's just crazy. Who knows why he's doing what he's doing.
