Like checkers.

[nostraightlines]

Like checkers. And chinese checkers and backgammon and mancala...

...

I like board games.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good! Because there's a lot of time to kill.

[nostraightlines]

We could start a game night. Work our way through the collection on my ship.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would really like that, as long as we're not playing team charades.

[nostraightlines]

...Is there a story behind this?

[takingkarabusiness]

Last time we played, James and Lucy kicked Winn and my butts and it was awkward all around.

[nostraightlines]

I've never actually played it... it was always just me and Cole, so not much point.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's less fun without the pop culture references, anyway.

[nostraightlines]

I know........ yeah I know no pop culture. Sorry.

[takingkarabusiness]

Don't apologize to me. I'm not great with them either.

[nostraightlines]

I've got some of it jammed in my head now, more than before at least. But I still wasn't paying much attention.

[takingkarabusiness]

And now you have everyone else's pop culture to keep up with, too.

[nostraightlines]

I wonder how much people's cultures here really overlap. Some worlds are just so different I know they wouldn't at all, but others sound a lot like mine before the plague.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's part of the infinite earths thing, I guess. Things diverge at different points.

[nostraightlines]

Some people's worlds here don't even have Earth, though. So there must be different universes too.

[takingkarabusiness]

That makes sense to me, too. It's not like Earth has a special time barrier or anything.

[nostraightlines]

What do you mean by time barrier?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just saying words. But I guess I mean, the universe doesn't actually revolve around Earth. It wouldn't be the only thing affected.

[nostraightlines]

I do wonder a little if it exists and they just haven't found it yet. Like we haven't explored the galaxy where I'm from. We might have a Krypton out there somewhere.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe. I hope so.

[nostraightlines]

[ He smiles, reaching out and taking her arm again. ]

I bet there is.

Come on, let's buy these and find a clothes store.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ links arms and leans against him slightly for a moment ]

I'll get these.

[nostraightlines]

[ Not protesting, either the leaning or stone-buying. ]

Sure. You probably make more than I do, anyway. Or does everyone get the same regardless of how interesting we are?

[takingkarabusiness]

I try not to think about it. But you're interesting.
