Less women's-wear-only and more that he only has so many hours in the week.

[universal_charm]

Well, we all have more than enough time on our hands now. He could make a killing if he wanted to. I'm sure the next station or planet we come to would eat anything he makes up. You know - alien couture.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think he'll be wanting to work on something he sees as more masculine next. Computers are usually his thing back home.

[universal_charm]

What's not masculine about dresses? You're dressing beautiful women - that is plenty masculine.

_{[ Never mind that his era's versions of masculine and feminine are a bit more muddled. ]}

Yeah, he gave me that impression. What did he do back on your world?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ shrugs ]

Krypton didn't handle things the same way as Earth so I've never really understood it.

He's the IT—Information Technology but really it just means "the guy who fixes the computers and does fancy computer things".

[universal_charm]

I imagine it would. It's not really a big issue on my Earth anymore either - that line is a lot more gray now, though I know some cultures where it is very strict too.

_{[ He shrugs, and then laughs at her explanation. ]}

To be honest, that hasn't really changed much in my time. Except now you wear a red shirt.

[takingkarabusiness]

He'd look good in red, but I wouldn't want to take his cardigans away from him.

[universal_charm]

Between you and me - maybe you should.

_{[ Because cardigans Kara. ]}

I approve your use of your laser vision on those.

[takingkarabusiness]

Jim!

[ but she laughs ]

Is everyone color coded in your world?

[universal_charm]

Haha, no, it's really just Star Fleet. Yellow is command, Red is security and engineering, and blue is medical and science. I wear yellow as the captain.

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess that makes sense if you have a large crew.

[universal_charm]

It helps in times of emergency more than anything. It just makes it quicker in identifying what kind of skill someone is likely to have. I try and learn everyone's name who serves on my ship, but when crisis comes I can't always remember at the drop of a hat, and certainly other people might not either.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's kind of funny. My uniform is all of those colors. Primaries for you, I guess.

[universal_charm]

Haha. Well, they work well together and are easily identifiable. It's a good choice, especially for a hero. Plus they aren't menacing when put together.

And as we both know, you do look fabulous in red and blue.

[takingkarabusiness]

My sister was telling me blue is my color, but i wanted to do something a little different for this.

[universal_charm]

Well, you certainly did. I think you should wear it more often.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks. It wouldn't look too bad on you, either.

[universal_charm]

Hah, well thank you, but I think I'll stick with yellow.

[takingkarabusiness]

There's no helping that, I suppose.

[universal_charm]

It kind of has a special place with me. It's my color in the Fleet.

_{[ A shrug. ]}

So maybe I've grown a little attached to it. That, or my little black shirt.

[takingkarabusiness]

For special occasions?

[universal_charm]

And everything else. What can I say? It just goes with everything. Like a good pair of jeans.

[takingkarabusiness]

Captain Casual.

[universal_charm]

Some of the farm boy stuck in me, I guess.
