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?

[ she hugs him back firmly ]

I know.

Thanks, Hank.

[beathach]

You're welcome. I know how - worrying it is, that in worlds like this, that - you still may have to deal with things you already did back home.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would like to think she would make different choices under different circumstances.

[beathach]

. . . maybe if given the chance here, she would.

Places like this . . . they change people - for the better.

[takingkarabusiness]

Only if they don't make us crazy first.

[ she smiles. she's not over the whole situation, but she's over her momentary bout of wallowing. even though they're not hugging anymore, she reaches for his hand to give it a squeeze in thanks ]

[beathach]

True. And it's really a case-by-case basis.

[he glances down as she takes his hand, but he squeezes back, smiling a little]

[takingkarabusiness]

So you want to hear something cool?

[beathach]

Yes, I do.

[after all that? of course he does]

[takingkarabusiness]

You met Cisco, right? I think he's the Winn of his world. I think I met the hero he works with.

[beathach]

Really? That is cool. Is that a requirement? For all the heroes to have a friend like that?

[takingkarabusiness]

If it is, I don't know who's doing the requiring. But he does the costumes and everything.

[beathach]

He does the costumes too? So he really is other-world Winn.

. . . [he huffs out a laugh] No wonder I get along with both of them.

[takingkarabusiness]

I wonder if that's your role?

[beathach]

Years ago, I was the one who made the uniforms for us.

[a shrug] I just - do the fighting, too. When it's necessary.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's good to have multiple skills.

[ she's so excited about all the sidekicks here ]

[beathach]

That's one way to look at it.

[takingkarabusiness]

You're well-rounded.

[beathach]

[he makes an amused noise]

I wouldn't say well-rounded.

[takingkarabusiness]

What would you say?

[beathach]

I'm . . . good at a few things?

[takingkarabusiness]

Hugs, costume design, science, fighting... How are you at cooking again?

[beathach]

I can manage TV dinners and simple stuff.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, so cooking needs help.

[beathach]

See? Not as well-rounded as you thought.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I guess you fooled me.
