When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

He doesn't want a hull breach.

[spacebro]

I hope these ships are a little tougher than that. I mean, unless you were trying to breach the hull on purpose. [He believes she could do that.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Definitely not that. I don't really want to test whether I can survive a vacuum, let alone my friends.

[spacebro]

I don't think Winn would like it.

It's pretty lucky that you and Winn ended up on the same ship. [Fishing.]

[takingkarabusiness]

He transferred. He was sleeping in my office anyway.

[spacebro]

Oh, you can just transfer to any ship you want?

[takingkarabusiness]

You have to put in a request and there has to be an opening... but yeah.

[spacebro]

You just can't leave this ship until they assign you to one? [It's going to be a long week, okay? So far he's alone as far as he knows. Just him and his thoughts is not a situation he enjoys. Not that he hasn't been in a DEO cell or infirmary getting practice off and on.]

...You have an office? Are you a reporter here too?

[takingkarabusiness]

Um. I'm not a reporter. But I do have an office.

[spacebro]

[And since he assumes she just means she's not a reporter here...] What do you do?

[takingkarabusiness]

I think the technical term is "personnel" but it's kind of like a counselor? I listen when people want to talk about things.

[spacebro]

So, it's like just being a person who isn't a jerk?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ we were doing okay. so okay. and now... so disapproving ]

What are you trying to say?

[spacebro]

[He senses the danger and yet he can't tell where it came from. Because he teased the job?]

That...you would listen to anyone who had things to talk about because that's the kind of person you are. [Not a jerk.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? Because it kind of sounded like you were calling me a jerk.

[spacebro]

I wasn't. You're not. Most of the time. [He does it to himself and that's what really hurts.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay. Then yeah, not being a jerk.

[spacebro]

Good.

[Not tense. Nope.]

Will I have an office too? [I don't have to be an intern, right?]

[takingkarabusiness]

What's your augment?

[spacebro]

My augment?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, your job. Which I realize might be a difficult concept for you.

[spacebro]

Ha. Ha. [Wow, you confusingly call someone not-a-jerk and they act like a jerk about it.]

I thought we didn't need to have... [Wait.]

Security?

[takingkarabusiness]

...Well that will probably suit you. Just don't shoot anyone.

[spacebro]

I guess so. [Palace guard and all] Um, are we under attack much?

[takingkarabusiness]

Not really. You shouldn't have to do much, but I guess it's always kind of a looming thing?
