Yo fleeters -

Can I just say I'm like 95% relieved we left Planet Creeperfuck and its creepy as fuck messages behind? I say 95% because there's a legit 5% chance that the moment I relax will be the moment I get eaten.

I actually have a few other things to bring up except for alien movie tropes:

1. thumbs up to everyone who came to the winnsco halloween party. major thumbs up to those who stayed to help us clean up.

2. superheroes, enhanced humans, friendly, gorgeous alien ladies ( sup kara ) and other supereverythings - I have a bone to pick with you regarding a creepily fast hologram of a creepily fast creepily-everything speedster from my world. I want to make sure that if he comes here, we're not doomed so if you want to practice your moves, I'm your man.

regular humans are always invited but lemme tell you, it's pointless to shoot at a speedster and also I think hank has a rule about no bullets on our ship.

3. I have started preparing for my first ever Space Christmas. if you need twinkle lights or other engineered decorations, I'm at the blameless, you can come and order some. free of charge if your'e willing to help.

4. yes, there will be space engineered mistletoe. no, you don't get a choice where it goes. yes, I have spies everywhere. yes, it will give you a minor electric shock if you try to remove it. yes, I will know about it.

I mean -- don't get me wrong. I'm not about to argue I'm saving myself for marriage. That ship has already sailed. [ and she's got nothing against casual sex, so long as it's smart. ]

But the cameras? Yeah, it'd have to be damn worth it.

[benames]

But I mean, what if there was someone special?

[ he nudges her ]

I mean, the last thing you think about when you show up here is some inter-galactic love affair but still.

» action

[ladybro]

If I fell in love? Sure. I'd make freaky hay while the sun shines. So to speak. [ she's not made of stone, after all. ]

But I'm also not looking for love, either. Not really a priority, these days.

» action

[benames]

Well, I hate to tell you that, Bishop.

[ he says even as he wraps an arm around her shoulders. ]

Sometimes it finds you even when you're not looking.

» action

[ladybro]

[ pah! she laughs. ]

Maybe for adorkable types like you, Cis. But I'm afraid even a whirlwind accidental romance doesn't really fit into my plans.

[ because that sounds super healthy, right? ]

[benames]

[ he tugs her into what is essentially the Cisco Ramon version of a bear hug. he realizes she reminds him a bit of Caitlin at that moment, over-planned and and analytical and sad. ]

I hope I'll be here to give you the galaxy's greatest 'I told you so' when the moment comes.

[ladybro]

[ uuuugh cisco you're too cute. kate grabs him tight and snugs him close -- happy for the friendship, which she certainly values beyond any kinda romance. ]

Please. I've got my hands full looking after enough other people -- adding a boyfriend into the mix will just cut into my work-out time.

[benames]

Unless you make good use of those space condoms.

[ he snorts because, what. it was called for. ]

» action

[ladybro]

[ dude! ]

Yeah, if I find any of those under the Blameless's tree? I'm gonna use your graphic tees for target practice.

» action

[benames]

Oh, you're on, Bishop. You just try - those t-shirts are the only geeky thing I have here. I'll go after your cooking supplies.

[ hmph. ]

Re: » action

[ladybro]

Here's the thing: you're bluffing. You like food almost as much as I do.

» action

[benames]

-- Yeah, pretty much.

[ the saddest of nods. ]

I'd do a live, dramatic singing of Chandelier and swing all around the lab in my Star Wars shorts if it made the Atroma give us burgers.

» action

[ladybro]

Ugh, burgers. [ did her stomach just growl? ] The things I'd do to a cheeseburger. Right now. Forget love and forget sex. That's all I want. Beef'n'cheese.

» action

[benames]

And fries. Tons of fries. I mean like, insane, inhuman amount of fries.

[ the things he'd do for the space version of big belly burger. ]

» action

[ladybro]

I think I can do fries, actually. With enough potatoes and enough cooking oil.

» action

[benames]

Are you serious? Oh my God. You know it's my life's ambition right now -- find potatoes. and oil. You're the bestest friend in the world, I love you very much.

[ super serious. ]

» action

[ladybro]

Careful, now. Save those declarations of undying affection for -- [ aha. ] Someone special.

» action

[benames]

Best friends are special. Don't worry, I have a whole list of declaration for - someone special. Assuming I'll ever actually remember them. She does that thing when she smiles and then, nope, clean slate.

[ it's tragic, how uncool that makes him seem. ]

» action

[ladybro]

[ she gives him a light shove. ]

Oh my God. You're such a sap.

» action

[benames]

I really mean it. she has the Thing.

[ this is actual despair, here. ]

This is not me being adorable, though I can see how you might be confused.

» action

[ladybro]

The 'thing'? Jeez, Cisco, what the futz is the 'thing'?

» action

[benames]

Something girls do that make guys stupid for fifteen minutes or so and I don't mean anything sexual. The thing, the smiling and the --- magic and - accent.

[ He's dating a British witch, so sue him. ]

» action

[ladybro]

Wow. You are full of so much BS.

[ she believes in charm. and charisma. and chemistry. but cisco, she thinks, is talking from his heart. there is no 'thing'. ]

» action

[benames]

You're the worst friend in the world.

[ hmph. ]

» action

[ladybro]

Wow. How fast your love falters. Fickle bastard. [ she sticks out her tongue. ] See if I share my fries with you, guy.
