Fine won't cut it? High standards.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm a 20,000 calories kind of gal.

[passingthrough]

Even when you're running low on juice?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, not really. But I'm planning ahead.

[passingthrough]

I guess this is why you have Winn and I working on the powers while Hank works on the food. Joint effort to keep you running.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ some uncomfortableness is being projected ]

Yeah, that's it. I'm very conniving.

[ her heart's not really in the humor, though. she gives it a moment, but decides to tell kitty ]

Hank and I aren't going to work out. If you were worried about that. Which. You've been doing a really good job of managing your impressions of him so I don't want to make it sound like there's a reason you would be worried, and we're definitely still friends and everything so you don't need to worry about any kind of change of personality from him but it was just the sort of thing that's not going to work out.

[passingthrough]

[That surprises her. She really thought they were going somewhere. She'd been trying to make herself okay with it. Hell, she was was probably more not okay with how easily she became okay with it than anything. Her feelings as they relate to Hank are pretty complicated. But she's not worried about her feelings right now.] What happened, Kara?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she's still smiling—but any appearance of a good mood is mostly a function of using humor to cover up awkwardness. it's strained, a bit ]

His ex showed up, and it's complicated between them. It's kind of the story of my life, if we're being honest.

[passingthrough]

[Kara, she's going to do the thing, okay? She's going to hug you.] I'm so sorry. [These places really know how to make things hard. If it isn't future memories of a girlfriend it's girlfriends just showing up.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she'll hug her of course, but she doesn't really want to get into the whole thing just in the kitchen ]

Maybe we can go back to my room? If you don't think Winn will miss you too much.

[passingthrough]

Sure. And I could always poke my head through the wall and tell him it will be a minute. He probably but I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll probably be excited he has more time to work on his projects without me distracting him.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ that makes her laugh a little ]

Please don't give him a heart attack.

[passingthrough]

Hey, when you date me you have to get used to seeing my deceptively severed head. It's just one of the perks.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure he'll never actually get used to that.

[ starts heading toward her room ]

[passingthrough]

Maybe I'll give him a kiss each time so he can build up his positive associations with it. [Following.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Once they get in her room and kitty does whatever she needs to do, kara flounces onto her bed ]

I don't even know if I'm specifically upset. I mean, Hank's a great guy, but like you said, the serum version isn't him all the time. It just would've been nice. And I feel embarrassed.

[passingthrough]

Not a fan of blue and furry? [It's probably too loaded of a question and she doesn't mean it to be. There was just so much hate that came with being a mutant. She doesn't want to see that intolerance in her friends, but attraction is a tricky thing. Kitty isn't entirely sure how she'd feel about it on that level herself.

Before things really got going with Winn in earnest there had been a moment with Tyrion. She'd been a couple of drinks in and they were exchanging war stories and joking and flirting and she found herself considering it, but she wasn't sure how far being attracted to him as a person would go. And then there was Winn and no need to ask herself more uncomfortable questions.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean... I don't think he would've caught my eye the same way if he showed up blue and furry. But that's only part of the equation, isn't it?

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

[passingthrough]

[Nodding.] Who was the ex? Someone from Kyrakois?*

(OOC: I hate that word and have no idea how to spell it. But you know, the memory-loss RP they are from.)

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't think so. Someone named Raven? From his world.

[passingthrough]

[Okay her eyes widen at that.]

............Wow.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she grabs her pillow and puts it over her face and dramatically falls back on her bed ]

You know her?

[passingthrough]

...She's Kurt's Mom. [Maybe she should have held that back or tempered it somehow, but right now she's kind of keymashing "is the Dark Beast Kurt's dad and is that why she never told him?" in her head.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ her arms flop to the sides. this is her dramatic tantrum ok ]

You're kidding.

[passingthrough]

[Probably a good time for tantrums. Kitty doesn't do much to remark on it.]

Maybe it's a different Raven? [She didn't see a greeting message from her of any kind but would she even know who she was looking at if she decided to go non-blue and changed her name?] We already have a Raven though from the other group's world. Then again we have two Kurts. I really should have checked the ship rosters over again.
