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!]

Ah. I'm glad for that, at least. This is the same Ms. Grant who gave you your superhero name, right?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yes! She's my boss and the "Queen of All Media".

[beathach]

Of all media?

[takingkarabusiness]

It's more an honorary title. Self-proclaimed, even. But yeah, there are a lot of branches of media. TV, internet, radio, newspaper...

[beathach]

I guess you don't have the New York Times in your world? Because I have a feeling they'd have something to say about your boss claiming that.

[takingkarabusiness]

We do, but they're focused mainly on newspaper reporting. Ms. Grant has several avenues and owns TV networks and radio stations and websites.

[beathach]

. . . how many networks does she own?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ insert number here. it's impressive. think arianna huffington ]

She works really hard.

[beathach]

. . . I know I shouldn't be surprised, but that's - a lot more than the three I know of.

[every time he learns something about the future, man]

[takingkarabusiness]

The future will blow your mind.

[beathach]

It already has. More than once.

[takingkarabusiness]

We'll show you some video games. You'll love them.

[beathach]

I already know it'll blow my mind, so - apologies in advance.

[takingkarabusiness]

Accepted.

But you're not just content with the technology that exists in your time, are you? You don't seem the type.

[beathach]

Not at all. Even back home, I was always trying to find ways to improve what we already have. For our - time, I guess, some of the things in the mansion are pretty advanced.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then it's probably more of the culture stuff that's strange for you.

[beathach]

[a wry smile]

Pretty much. I mean, I'm starting to get used to it, but a lot of what I hear still flies right over my head.

[takingkarabusiness]

I can sympathize.

[beathach]

Heh. At least, I've never been good at it. So being out of my depth is normal.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yes, I imagine it's hard for people who are on top of things

[beathach]

I can't even imagine that. Thankfully, none of us are ever on top of things like that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I guess you guys deal with unusual things all the time.

[beathach]

Sometimes. Not as often as the other worlds like mine.

[takingkarabusiness]

Even so. More than the average citizen in my world.

[beathach]

Definitely more than that.
