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!]

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.

[beathach]

You're definitely a people person. [that was one of the first impressions he got when they met]

[takingkarabusiness]

I can't help it. Every single person has so much to share and contribute. It makes me happy to think about that. No two people have exactly the same view of the universe, and everyone has something to learn from and teach others.

[beathach]

You sound like Charles. [and that is absolutely a compliment] But - it's a good way to think about it.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think, you know. I lost everything and everyone. It would be so pointless if my mother had sacrificed everything to give me a new start, and for me to waste it by not appreciating everyone who's alive right now, even if I don't always like them.

[beathach]

. . . mm, I get it. [it's admirable, and honestly - it isn't the same, but it still reminds him of Charles in a way. Two people who lost everything and have, in their own ways, used it to become better people] You're a good person, Kara. More people should try to be like you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I don't know about that. I'm very territorial about food.

[beathach]

I don't see how that's a bad thing.

[takingkarabusiness]

You haven't truly seen me in action.

One time I threatened to laser eye my sister if she didn't give me the last potsticker.

[ though it was clearly a joke ]

[beathach]

[oh my god Kara]

Potstickers are serious.

[takingkarabusiness]

They are. Also, being the younger sister has some serious perks, like bullying your older sister to give things to you. Being an alien doesn't hurt, either.

[beathach]

Is that a requirement of younger sisters? Being bullies?

[takingkarabusiness]

More like "getting what we want".

[beathach]

I'll have to remember that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Why, planning on becoming one?

[beathach]

I have one. Ah - an adopted one, but.

It's good to know what to expect in order to try and counter it.

[takingkarabusiness]

Here? Who is it?

[beathach]

She's - no, she's not here. I think I've told you about Viva?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, right. Viva and Eveningstar, right?

[beathach]

Mm, that's them. My two bullies.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, you don't have to give in to them every time.

They don't have laser eyes, right?

[beathach]

Unless they're keeping superpowers from me, no. Neither of them had any powers.
