LUKE...I am your kitten. Maybe.

[flickerflash]

Who: Katie and you!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The horrible no good moon.  Probably close to the Vanquish
When: Today!

[By and large, Katie hates this moon.   It made her sick when she first got here and she's largely shunned it ever since.  Today marks the first day she's voluntarily gone out in it.  Why? 

Because she has a lightsaber.  And she wants to practice with it and swing it around and generally have fun with it and maybe cut down a few sickly dead branches.  And while she could do this in the cargo bay of the Vanquish easy enough, out here she has to wear a mask.

A mask and a lightsaber is just too much to pass up, oh my god.  She's found a black one, which in fact looks nothing like anything you might find in Star Wars, which is probably for the best all round, really.  But it's black, and it's the best she can do, and if you head into the gloom of the smog this fine day you might find a small child waving a pale white lightsaber around that makes all the appropriate lightsaber sounds and doing her best to make breathing sounds like Darth Vader because black mask, and to be honest if she's not quoting some part of some lightsaber battle when you wander past it'll be kind of surprising.

...unless you are of course recognisable as a Jedi and thus she'll choke on her breath pretty quickly and turn the saber off and look as innocent as she possibly can.

On the bright side, it's clear to anyone with any powers of observation she actually knows how to use a sword and is taking care not to cause any accidental damage with it.  So... bonus?  It's just a small child having fun.  Vmm vmm.]

Yeah, duh, but that was with a normal wolf. Not a werewolf.

[ Rude, get it right. ]

1/2

[flickerflash]

But that's--

[flickerflash]

[.....






....actually yeah solid point.]

Well, he can disguise himself. That's like a werewolf.

[Nice try?]

[frigidaire]

Riiight.

[ Don't mind the look, that's probably just his face. He's naturally sassy. ]

Close enough, I guess. I was never good at reading the stuff in English class anyway.

[flickerflash]

Nobody's good at English.

What's your name, Mr Werewolf?

[frigidaire]

I'm Isaac. What's yours sword girl?

[flickerflash]

Dorothy. Like the Wizard of Oz. I even have the red shoes.

[Well, she might have them at home. She's wearing brown kid-boots today.]

[frigidaire]

Dorothy. Like yellow brick road Dorothy?

[ It was never family fun movie time in his house, so it's been a while. ]

[flickerflash]

That's right! Though I'm not her. It might be nice if I was. [Wistfully.] Then I could just click my heels and go home.

[frigidaire]

You could be worse places. I mean, it can be pretty boring in the fleet, but at least it's safe enough. Sort of.

[flickerflash]

Everyone could secretly be a serial killer, you know. Or just not like little girls. [Max.] But I suppose I don't mind. We travel more than I ever get to at home.

what is this cr

[frigidaire]

Yeah, we travel to places where you could get killed on a freak Moon but no big deal. I guess if you have your weird fake sword it should be fine.

it is the sassiest lmao

[flickerflash]

If you're worried about the freak Moon, I'll protect you. [Hee.] I heard they're allergic to weird fake swords.

it's so good.

[frigidaire]

Right, thanks.

[ He can't help but smile a little bit though, okay. He's had a shitty month so far and this is a pleasant surprise. It's nice to see someone optimistic. ]

Glad you found their weakness first.

[flickerflash]

[Optimism she can do. Perks of being nine. (ish.)]

I'm very good at weaknesses! [What does that even mean--] Everyone has to be an expert at something.

[frigidaire]

Uh, right, probably better look at it that way.

[ He shrugs a little bit, rubbing the back of his head idly. ] So, uh. Don't get hurt or anything.

[flickerflash]

[She gives him a little mock salute.]

I shall do my best not to. You can laugh at me later if I do.
