Who: Kitty Pryde and everyone who tags!
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Planet fun! Or Windrose maybe. I'm flexible.
When: Now or nowish. Definitely now-adjacent.

I have an important request. I need someone who can make cheese. Do cheese makers have an old timey name like cobblers and haberdashers or are those only for clothes? Anyway, calling all of those.

Cheese doesn't seem to be a thing here from what I can tell, but we're just one ingredient away from some really great pizza. I have no idea what cheese requires other than cows or goats or something. I grew up so close to Wisconsin, but I feel like I learned so little.

I would also accept alternative cheese. I know there were vegan kinds made out of hopes and dreams or something I assume. I can pay you or share the finished pizza or do something in trade if I had skills. I could beat someone up for you maybe. [She's not going to do that. Probably.] We'll work it out.

[She's on the planet doing all of these things and more but this post won't get to CAPTCHA! You might find her on the Windrose veeeery rarely!]

No, I mean... Eventually. I can do lunch now if you want. [How does one socialize again? Did she forget in the... Wait, how long has it been? Time is slipping away from her.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, okay. If you're sure! We can go someplace quiet. Some of those tree structures look pretty cool.

[passingthrough]

[She puts her tools down and pulls off her gloves to leave them behind too.] Sure. Lead the way.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you want a lift or do you want to do the air walking thing?

[passingthrough]

It's close. I can airwalk. [It's effective, just slower than flying usually. Not that she can't air run when she needs to but the concentration for that is more.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Airwalking it is!

[ so Kara will pace with Kitty on the way over ]

[passingthrough]

[And off they go!] So, what gave you this idea? [Is there a talking coming?]

[takingkarabusiness]

I miss you.

[passingthrough]

[That surprises her and it has no right to. She's been missing all her friends and still keeping her distance. It also touches her.] O-oh. [Loss of words is a thing.]

[takingkarabusiness]

And I was thinking, everyone needs to eat lunch, so I thought this would be a good way to get both of those things done.

[passingthrough]

Right. Very efficient. [She brushes back her hair and glances over at Kara.] Sorry I haven't been around much. [She doesn't want to inflict her company on others when she's like this.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I could've reached out earlier, too, you know.

[passingthrough]

That's a good point. Let's go with blaming you. [Trying for jokes here.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Anyway, do I need an excuse to take my friend out for lunch?

[passingthrough]

No? [Why was that a question.] I don't know. I guess I figured there was a lecture coming.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do I seem like the lecture type? Well, okay, maybe sometimes, but I like to think of myself as more of the inspirational speaker type.

[passingthrough]

Definitely. I almost always picture you with a podium.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe I should just get one and grab it when I feel a speech coming on.

[passingthrough]

If Winn was a awake he'd probably have it half done already in anticipation of this conversation.

[takingkarabusiness]

He'll probably wake up with the urge without realizing how or why.

[passingthrough]

Sounds like him.

You're pretty sure he will? Wake up. Not build you a podium.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm confident in it.

[passingthrough]

Why? [Maybe she could use an inspirational speech.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Because he's the most reliable person that I know. And look, I'm not delusional. I know me thinking one way or another won't change what happens, but I'd rather believe he'll come through this and be fine than think of the worst case scenario. I can't do anything about that, either, so it's not productive for me to worry. Cross that bridge if and when I come to it, you know?

Maybe because I've been in a similar situation, at home, and he helped Alex pull me out of it. And people here have done that, too. I talked to a girl named Wanda who was asleep for like a month, and came back with new memories. I don't see why him not coming back is more likely than that situation.

If he does leave, though, which would suck, I don't want you to think that would be the end of you and Winn. I'd work really hard to figure out how to get you home with me, if that's what you wanted.

[passingthrough]

I guess I'm just trying to expect the worst so that if it happens I'm already prepared and if it doesn't I can just be happy about it. [It's just hard either way. She has a point that she could just never be upset if it all works out though. But it's less of a logical choice and more just what happened when it comes down to it. Her heart called these shots.]

...You know the new memories thing worries me too, right? [Maybe he'd jump as far as Kara is and he'd remember that girl and feel whatever he feels but probably be fine. But what if it's further. What if he comes back engaged or something? And it's not lost on her that Wanda apparently has new memories. Winter does too. She wonders if it's the same sort of jump.]

[And the last part, working to find a way to National City if he disappears? She doesn't know how to feel about that. It's a sweet suggestion, but...she just doesn't know.]
