When: Broadcast: Feb. 1, Action: Anytime February

Welcome to my one-year anniversary. [Pause as she realizes maybe she should clarify that. Not a relationship thing.] Of being with the Fleet. Feels like it should come with a badge of some kind. Who hands those out? We're in a special club now, right? Secret handshake? Extra meal portions?

Anyway, I figured it was maybe time to try something different. So... Raise your hand if you'd be interested in attending a dance class if I taught one. And by raise your hand I mean call me back. I don't have surveillance set up in all the rooms yet. [She's kidding. She's probably kidding.] If anyone is in I'll set up a room for it on the Iskaulit. [Or maybe find the secret studio the previous Natasha had.]

[Kitty is poking around some of the empty spaces on the Iskaulit, but she might pop into some of the more established establishments too while she's there.]

That's not very heartening, you know.

[passingthrough]

Did you want heartening or honest?

[takingkarabusiness]

Definitely honest.

[passingthrough]

Then you got the better answer. Hey, Winn is beckoning me over to the Tourist for an in-person meeting. See you in a few?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, yeah, sure. I'll be in the kitchen?

[passingthrough]

Where the food is. Smart. [She smiles and signs off. It takes a little while before she actually makes it to the Tourist's kitchen because there was a Winn she had to be snuggly with first in the cargo bay. But finally here she is!]

Hey. Are we doing the hug thing?

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course we are.

[ she stands and hugs! bring it in, girl ]

It really doesn't feel like I was asleep for that long.

[passingthrough]

[She hugs back.] I think after 12 hours or so it would all just blend into something that was hard to recognize.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, and the whole being unconscious thing.

[passingthrough]

[She pulls back with a smile.] That too. So, did it do that weird thing where you wake up tired after sleeping forever?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, what is with that? It's totally unfair.

[passingthrough]

I don't know. Haven't had to find out for myself either. Hoping it stays that way.

[takingkarabusiness]

I hope you don't have to find out, either.

[passingthrough]

Thanks. Sorry you went down for round two. Winn doesn't get less worried each time it happens.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's a great friend. I couldn't ask for a better one.

[passingthrough]

I can't imagine a better boyfriend. [Girl, you missed out.]

[takingkarabusiness]

So everything's still good with you guys?

[passingthrough]

You thought you could sleep for a little while and wake up to some kind of dystopian future where we're not together? Come on. I'm going to be hard to get rid of.

[takingkarabusiness]

No! That would be a terrible thing to wake up to. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything big.

[passingthrough]

No missing with us. We're great. I guess you were still around for Hank and Raven's news.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ i mean i guess technically ]

Yes!! But I still haven't really gotten the chance to congratulate them properly.

[passingthrough]

I think that might be all the interpersonal news I know, but don't hold me to it.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I'm keeping score.

[passingthrough]

What am I at right now? Positive or negative points?

[takingkarabusiness]

Positive, of course!
