Show us your best Tourist Halloween costumes

[takingkarabusiness]

Who: Touristas & visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: On the Tourist
When: The month of October!

[ Maybe October doesn't really happen in space, but since time is arbitrarily defined anyway, maybe it does. Throughout the month, members aboard the Tourist might notice subtle(ish) decorations going up. A paper garland of candied apples here, some adorable paper Jack-O-Lanterns there... The ship was destined to be a Pinterest board the moment Kara was brought on it. Sorry not sorry. ]

Pass. [Gives his shoulder a little bump.] Oh wise uniform maker.

[winn]

You mock, but uniform making is an artistic science. It takes a lot of work to make them functional and stylish.

[passingthrough]

I would never mock you. [Kiss.] Okay, I might mock you a little. I also think you're very talented.

[winn]

[ shaking his head at her. ]

I see what you did there, throwing a compliment in before I can respond.

[passingthrough]

I'm the worst. What are you going to do about it, handsome?

[winn]

Make you a slutty Captain America suit.

[ enjoy showing your face in front of steve. ok, he's totally kidding he wouldn't do that.

to steve. ]

[passingthrough]

Wiiiiinn. [Embarrassed on behalf of Steve.] No.

[winn]

Always be nice to your costume maker.

[passingthrough]

I think I am very nice to my costume maker. [Kisses gently and nuzzles.] Hey. [Softly.] How are those nerves?

[winn]

Fading into the caffeine haze.

[ she doesn't seem angry at him, which is what he was most worried about, after upsetting her. ]

[passingthrough]

Good. [She works her way into a hug.] Now, snuggles or should I get to work so you can have some sleep this week? Also, no more caffeine today.

[winn]

[ he wraps his arms tightly around her, and leans his head atop hers. ]

You can't cut me off, Kitty, we're just getting started!

[passingthrough]

Try sleeping as a way of keeping you alert during the day. You never know, right? [Leaning back into him, enjoying the embrace.] Otherwise, we'll have to start calling you Shaky.

[winn]

I've been called so much worse.

[ he knows he needs to dial it back and get some real sleep, but this party is important to him. this planet has been rough on cisco, and existing in the fleet is rough on all of them. he wants this to be perfect. ]

[passingthrough]

[That earns him a gentle nuzzle. She knows he has. And if she could beat up some school bullies for him now she would.] Anyone who tries that now has to answer to me. Unless it is me calling you out on not taking care of my favorite person.

[winn]

[ that would be awesome. and also misuse of power but he's not sure he's a good enough person not to go for it if the opportunity came up for real. of course he wouldn't want her to really hurt them -- but some of them have definitely earned getting one hell of a scare. ]

Look, I really don't think Kurt needs me to take care of him - [ isn't he hilarious? it was getting too serious, okay. ]

[passingthrough]

[She's so good at scaring people—intentionally and otherwise.] Mm, you know what? I knew you were going to say that. Your girlfriend knows you way too well.

[winn]

[ she scared the hell out of him when she pulled sascha through the door that time he woke them up in the middle of the night. to this day, he's terrified of waking her up, even when she tells him to do it. ]

Oh yeah, what am I thinking right now?

[passingthrough]

That I can't actually read you mind but at least I'm pretty.

[winn]

Not even close, but true enough.

[ he kisses the top of her head. ]

[passingthrough]

What was it then? [Fond look.]

[winn]

Where would be the fun in that? You think you know me too well - well here, have some mystery.

[passingthrough]

I know you like your mystery so it's like I can see right into you! [Maybe just a little disappointed but this is just all in fun anyway.]

[winn]

I like uncovering my mysteries, it's like we've never met.

[ he's totally teasing. in truth what he was thinking is general uncertain anxiety over becoming boring to her, too predictable. ]

[passingthrough]

[Never. There is a part of her that likes—even needs and craves—action and adventure. And she does find some of that with Winn. But what she enjoys so much about being with him is the loving, supportive foundation they have. She wouldn't trade that for any thrill. Which is not to say there aren't thrills. She still blushes thinking about what they did in the shed outside of that restaurant while their breakfasts got cold. And he's smart and funny and always stimulating. He has nothing to worry about which probably won't stop him from worrying.]

I don't like this never met scenario. Meeting is better.
