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?

Then, if there is something you feel it would be painful for them to know ... trust that they will understand your need for holding back. [It is the simple answer.] When the time comes, you can break the news to them, gently.

[ she'll either be okay at it or terrible and there's no in between ]

I appreciate the advice, and I'll try my best. There are some people I can't keep very many secrets from, though.

[tallasaking]

[Well ... extremes are good. In certain situations.]

[A thoughtful look.] You must trust your friends very deeply in kind, then.

[takingkarabusiness]

I do. They're good people.

[tallasaking]

Then you are truly lucky.

[takingkarabusiness]

I like to think so.

I'm Kara, by the way. Sorry. That was rude of me!

[tallasaking]

Oh no, my apologies, my lady. The fault of bad manners is mine. Tyrion Lannister - a pleasure. [And he dips into a slight bow.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, Kara is fine. No need for "my lady".

[tallasaking]

Ah ... then just call me Tyrion, in kind. [He bowed again.]

[takingkarabusiness]

All right, Tyrion.

How long have you been here?

[tallasaking]

By all reckoning ... close to half of a year.

[takingkarabusiness]

Wow. But I guess it isn't that unusual?

[tallasaking]

No, I understand some people have been here a year or more.
