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!]

...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. ]

[Noticing that awkward.] Sorry. Not a casual conversation thing, huh? [She wouldn't have brought it up around anyone, but she can just never bring it up too.]

I don't...usually think about it. If I don't have to. [ Or think about a lot of stuff, to be perfectly honest. The less he worries and properly thinks things through, the less he has to understand and accept. ]

Because it's painful when you do?

[ He nods wordlessly, although that's not quite the reason. He just doesn't have any words to better explain it, turning his gaze downwards. ]

Okay. I'll do my best not to bring it up again.

I'm sorry.....

Hey, why are you sorry?

Well because I'm...weird. Aren't I?

What's normal, Sascha? You're you. That's all you need to be.
