Who: Kara, Kitty, and Winn
Broadcast: none.
Action: on the moon
When: now!

[ this is it. months of work, of research, of banging his head against the wall - finally lead them all here, to a little hidden corner of a toxic moon, in full radiation suits, ready to make their first real trial on project plato.

he feels like he should be making a speech of some sort. why does he never learn to make an actual script?

he looks from kara to kitty; the mask hides his smile, but it's obvious in his energy. he actually bounces a little bit with excitement. ]

OK. Before we embark on Project Plato Alpha test - can I just say - this is awesome. And let's not die. [ the last part is a joke. mostly. they ran their calculations very carefully! and kara is mostly invulnerable and kitty can phase. ok, so he's the one who needs to focus on not dying.

there's a reason he usually leaves the speeches to kara and james. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Just... warmer, mostly. It might be an exposure over time thing, like you said.

It could be a lot of things. Not to mention our testing facility is not exactly the best. Yay dirty little moon. Okay, on to Uultraviolet. Don't be concerned if you start glowing.

You've been running on empty for a while, it makes sense for it to take time. And most likely it'll require some sorta combo - but if we figure out what level of which radiation has the most promising results - even if it's a fraction of an inch better - we'll know what to combine.

[ he says it as much for himself as for kara. it's really hard not to imagine him hitting a button - and her flying away, happy, strong, and safe. he just wants to do this for her, please, just give him something, multiverse! ]

Alright - Alpha Test, Ultraviolet, take 1 -

Are my teeth all glowy?? Maybe we can do some cosmic bowling.

[ she understands the scientific value but also mostly she's just standing here as they do things. so she has to know the Important Facts of UV reflection ]

We should definitely start work on a bowling alley next. [Her eyes stray from the machine and Kara though as she looks around them, noticing that some of the air has been illuminated too. Like showing off the stains in a hotel room.] Ew.

I'll add it to the list.

[ you know what you should absolutely not joke about around winn? projects. because he will make them happen, and kara's ban on new side projects be damned. he's already picked up a bunch since. ]

So glad we're doing this outside - [ mumbled. it would be very embarrassing to turn on that light in his room. ]

Anything?

Besides a growing unease about the air? I'm not sure. I don't think so.

[Kitty smirks a little at that mumble.]

Try a rock? Then we'll move on to the rest of the spectrum. Also, how are things? [Because they don't have to be 100% science-y about this as long as the testing gets done.]

[ a smirk he misses because of the masks - but imagines because well, he knows her.

he focuses on monitoring the device, just letting them chat for now. ]

[ she tries a rock, but it's about the same result ]

How are things with this? Pretty normal.

[Terrible masks!] I meant more in general. The three of us haven't really played together in awhile. Or ever? Is it ever? We're usually more teams of two or really awkward foursomes.

Speaking of playing - Cisco made a miniature air-hockey table - we can mess around with that til we get bowling rolling.

[ he may or may not ~~we all know he is~~ be working on turning his music library into karaoke tracks too. when new people ask 'what do you do for fun around here', they are not going to be told laundry ever again. ]

First of all, the bowling alley can wait. But air-hockey sounds great.

And things are fine? I feel like, yeah, maybe we don't all talk together but I basically tell both of you the same things.

You're not making a bowling alley. [Does she get to order that kind of thing? Or lack of a thing?]

And really? I usually tell you both completely opposite things to see if it will lead to confusion and hilarity.

Wow, what do you two have against fun?

[ he turns to kitty, gasping, mock-scandalized ]

So who gets the truth! [ he knew being called 'amazing' was suspicious!

sorry kitty, confusion and hilarity require they talk about you and he tends to not do that much he wants to because...there are just a million different reasons why that's awkward ranging from - the two of them are friends, and he's really not trusting his best friend status to buy him confidentiality here, to he doesn't want to rub his happiness in kara's face anymore than they do unintentionally, with stops at - his feelings about kara are complicated. ]

Yeah, Kitty, who gets the truth!

Wow, what makes either of you think the truth is involved? [She's kidding, of course.]

[ he puts a hand to his heart ]

Betrayal! Scandal! Is your name even Kitty?

I bet she's lying to us about that, too. It's really something else, like Katherine.

Dun, dun, duuuun. [What? They needed dramatic music. She makes an adjustment to the machine while they chat.] You like an air of mystery. Don't lie.

Air of mystery, not my whole life is a lie -

[ been there, done that. but he's not thinking about that right now. it really is nice - hanging out with his two favorite ladies together. ]

For the record, I don't really feel any change.

So, is it Katherine? With a K or C?

Yep. K. To better continue Winslow only having friends whose names start with K.

[ shaking his head. no. why you do this to him. ]

Hey that's not true. Cisco's with a C! And Margaery's with an M - Jim's with a J - [ shut up with your kirk, it still counts! ] and I'm gonna stop Sesame Streeting here in 3...hahaha [ yes he's doing an impression of the Count's laugh here ] 2...hahaha. 1....hahaha.

[ focusing on the machine...ha...haha... ]

Jim Kirk, you mean?
