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!]

[ Kara has been looking through the stacks for something to pass the time with, but she spots Hank. She feels guilty for not handling anything the way she'd want to, and not making contact with him again for awhile. So she invites herself over and sits across the table from him ]

What are you reading?

[beathach]

[he has admittedly been giving her a little space since, even if they agreed they were still friends and wanted to keep it that way. That and he's been busy here and there, what with drama on his ship as well as between the people from his world.

So when she sits down he glances up and - admittedly lights up a little. He missed spending time with her]

Kara, hey. Ah - [he blanks and has to turn the book over to read the title] Modern science stuff. I'm giving looking up anything on terraformers a break.

[takingkarabusiness]

"Modern science stuff". I like it. But variety is good. Learn anything cool and groundbreaking today?

[beathach]

I do like variety in my boring interests. [he grins a little] They mapped the human genome? I read about that a little earlier today. But aside from that, it's mostly improvements on things I'm already familiar with.

[takingkarabusiness]

That has to be cool, though. It would be really neat to see the advancements. It's funny; going to Earth for me was kind of a backwards move, in terms of maths and sciences. But they're doing pretty well with what they have.

[beathach]

I feel like I'm spoiling myself for things in the future, but it isn't as though I'm going to be the one inventing them. And it gives me things to look forward to. [aside from just surviving] Was it a huge difference? The advancements on your planet compared to Earth's.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, yeah. Like for one. Gravitistics don't really jive with Newtonian physics. But Krypton didn't have video games, so it's a toss-up.

[beathach]

I think you mentioned that once - with everything I've learned here and other places, I've given up on understanding physics the way I know it. [he huffs out a laugh] Video games seem to be really important in the future. I played Tetris once?

[takingkarabusiness]

Ho boy. You don't even know what you're missing out on, Hank. Once Winn gets his little side scroller finalized we'll hook you up.

[beathach]

i don't know, Tetris was a lot of fun. Pong's pretty good, too.

[he has no idea]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she condescendingly reaches across the table and pats his hand ]

You have much to learn, my young Padawan.

[beathach]

[he blinks, then gives her a confused look]

What's a padawan?

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, Hank, I'm an alien and I know more pop culture than you. We have to work on this.

It's just a movie word for, like, trainee.

[beathach]

My excuse is I'm from the 70s. I know some pop culture - I watch a lot of Star Trek.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, you should see Star Wars, too.

[beathach]

Well, I won't say no to seeing it. I can't say I've heard of it, though.

[takingkarabusiness]

We should have a movie night. You, me, Cisco, Winn, Kitty... whoever!

[beathach]

[he can't help but grin a little] I'd like that. It's been a long time since I've seen a decent movie.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm not promising decent movies.

[beathach]

Okay, well - any movie, then. I don't really . . . get out much. And I skipped movie nights in the other place.

[takingkarabusiness]

Why?

[beathach]

Bad timing, mostly? There weren't all that many, if I remember right.

[takingkarabusiness]

You just made it sound like it was a conscious choice. Too many people?

[beathach]

[with a bit of a wry smile]

That too. Not even amnesia could remove my dislike of crowds.

[takingkarabusiness]

Some things are just inborn. I get it, though I love being around people.
