What do you think?

[winn]

I think we really need pizza around here.

[ seriously if you're going to kidnap them at least feed them something normal! ]

But s'not bad. [ by completely dissatisfying space food standards. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she toes the other chair out with her foot, inviting him to sit ]

We really do need pizza.

[winn]

[ he gives her a quick hug - because while he may not know what's been going on with her, he knows kara well enough to know when she needs one by now - and sinks into it and stuffs another spoonfull of unidentified space food in his mouth. ]

Maybe the next planet'll have some.

[ gotta hold on to hope, right? because he's starting to think getting home will be quicker than figuring out how to make real food out of what they have. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she hugs him back but it's still a little unexpected! ]

We have got to be getting close to moving on. Seriously.

[winn]

Yeah, it's been -- useful, but, next.

[ he feels bad, that he's not one of those people trying to help the moon, but he has enough on his plate. he's not a hero for a reason, he wants to help the people dearest to him first. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Basically.

So what's new with you?

[winn]

Well -- I found out that vampires? Totally a thing. Pizza guy might be a zombie yet! What about you?

[takingkarabusiness]

Friendly vampires I hope?

[winn]

A little overly friendly, even.

[ jumping in bed with him and his girlfriend, what is his life anymore? ]

[takingkarabusiness]

What's their name?

[winn]

Eh -- [ he rubs the back of his head ] I'm not sure I'm supposed to say -- I should probably ask if they mind.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's fair enough.

Hey! I met someone with sun powers.

[winn]

Oh! Is it Apollo?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah! He's super nice. And his daughter's extremely cute.

[winn]

I've heard about him, but haven't met him yet - does he know how his powers work, what exactly charges him up?

[ it probably wouldn't be the same, but it might give them ideas where to look! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

He is, I think, literally a solar battery.

[winn]

OK, there's gotta be a way that's useful, just need more fuel to figure it out.

[ taking another mouthful, hope you don't mind sharing your food, there. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ugh fineeeee ]

Maybe it's transferable? What he just stores the direct energy and then it can be saved and concentrated for me?

[winn]

It all circles back to we have to figure out what exactly triggers your powers.

[ dammit, why didn't he major in everything? ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ blahhhh ]

Hopefully we'll just end up on another sunny planet.

[winn]

[ he smiles apologetically. she wouldn't be experiencing this frustration if he were better at his job. he's supposed to take care of the technical parts, and he's failing. miserably.

he rubs her arm. ]

We'll get there, I promise. I'm not giving up.

[takingkarabusiness]

I know. Thanks.

[ she sighs ]

Let's go hang out in my office or something.

[winn]

Sure.

[ he gets up, wishing he could do something more. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she closes the door after him and flops on the couch, hoping he'll follow suit ]

So I just had James-and-Lucy 2.0 happen with Hank.
