Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

Well...yeah. Because you're always so responsible...

[ And, you know. He's technically killed someone before, accidentally. ]

My parents were murdered. I was on the run from the people who killed them and wanted to abduct me. I took what I needed to survive. And later I'd steal from Apocalypse's forces. Sometimes for us. Sometimes for the refugees.

..........

Like Robin Hood? [ Don't ask how he knows about him but virtually nothing else. just...don't. ]

Fewer arrows and funny hats, but sure. [Remy was the real Robin Hood of their world, but she had a few moments.]

That's sooooo coool....! [ +50 affection for hot!mom. Never mind the jaywalking, he'll find it in his heart to forgive that. Especially since it's not even really a thing in his time. ]

I don't know if it was as cool as you're picturing it, but thanks.

Shush, it totally is! [ And now that he's feeling more awake he'll push himself up to his feet and grin, fixing his silly UV shades. ] Just like a super hero.

...Hm... I guess. [She never feels like she deserves the word "hero."]

Winn said maybe I could try to be one too! [ DUN DUN... ]

...One what? [They must be talking about something else now, right? Winn, what did you do?]

A superhero! And maybe change how people hate us so much by being good and nice and stuff... [ Although he sounds excited by the idea, he lacks conviction and confidence when he says it out loud. He's more enamoured with the idea and then the actual act of doing it. ]

...Oh! [That is so concerning but also sweet and sad. Of course this was Winn's idea. Of course it was. And not a terrible one, but he needs so much oversight and just...okay, maybe it's a terrible idea.] I was not expecting that. [Just honest and stunned.]

[ It is completely a terrible idea. But it sounds so fun that he couldn't help but think to maybe give it a try. ]

Hehe... I don't really look like a good one right?

No, someone who wants to help people and has a special skill set can look like anything. I just didn't know it was something you were interested in or that we had much need for it here.

Well...I've never thought about it before. But Winn said I should try!

He has a lot of ideas that guy... [The most unsure.]

He's super-sweet.

Can't really disagree with you there. He's hard not to love. [Not that she really tried.]

You love him?? [ Oh man, oh man that's super-serious and awesome?? ]

Well, yeah, of course. [They haven't been together that long. It's not an "of course" situation. But it still feels that way to her in the moment.] Is it that surprising?

Well...yeah! I mean, that's really fast. [ That's what Sascha is thinking anyway. He's from a time where couples still sometimes have separate beds and arranged marriages and...man. Love after only a handful of weeks? Winn must be AMAZING~~in bed~~ ]

Mmm, I'm used to living fast. [It was true when she still lived in a deceptively normal, stable world as a young genius with too many interests who spent her time training in dance and taking apart computers instead of just being a kid. And it was even more poignantly true when she was a young orphan being hunted for her genetic potential. And again as one of the X-Men trying to save a rapidly vanishing world.]

Really? I guess that makes sense then. [ ...Yep. Just like that. He wonders if Winn's used to living fast too. ]

I guess things go a little slower for people with long lives, huh? How long do you think it should take?

Oh, um....I dunno. I didn't bring it up because vampires live a long time... [ Awkward, awkward. His lifespan hasn't really been brought up since the party on planet, and it catches him off-guard as he fidgets. ]
