Iskaulit mingle

[lord_wizard]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: Feb. Drift Week (and beyond?)

[The fleet, more or less patched up after their battle, has once again left civilization behind for empty space. Maybe it's a good time to distract yourself and get away from the endless repairs and nothingness, though there might still be cleaning up that needs to be done here too.

Whether you're grabbing a broom or grabbing a drink, this is a fleetwide mingle for the Iskaulit.]

Were there any survivors of the ship?

[winn]

There was no one there, it was completely abandoned, playing a recorded message. Like I said - creepy. But it was around Halloween so, expected.

[spacebro]

Halloween? Oh, right! [He remembers this one!] We went out to a bar together around Halloween. You said that's why there were paper skeletons everywhere.

[winn]

Here, Cisco and I threw a kickass party, we even put together a haunted house, it was pretty great.

[spacebro]

Cisco is one of your other friends? [Winn, the most beloved person in the fleet?]

[winn]

Yeah, Cisco and Hank are both on the Blameless with Kate.

[ he wouldn't exactly say that... ]

[spacebro]

That sounds like a good ship. Have you ever transferred or did you arrive on the Tourist?

[winn]

I transferred, my original ship was the Bishop.

[spacebro]

What made you leave it?

[winn]

It wasn't where Kara was.

[spacebro]

Does Kitty [see how right he's getting the name?] live on the Tourist too?

[winn]

[ he's very proud. ]

No, she's on the Windrose. [ she half lives on the tourist, and he half lives on the windrose but that's too much explanation. ]

[spacebro]

[Yes good. Winn's hand couldn't take another disappointment.]

But you'd rather stay with Kara? [Not that he blames him.]

[winn]

I moved to the Tourist as soon as I got here, I was alone and scared and Kara was all I knew. But I love it there now, my crew's my family, Kitty loves her crew too, we're good with the arrangement we've got.

[spacebro]

That's a lot of crew love. You both sound pretty lucky.

[winn]

We are. How's it going on the Golden? [ he's worried about you over there since the attack, ok. ]

[spacebro]

It's okay. I spend more time on the Iskaulit. [Usually more people around there.] Our engineer disappeared right after the battle. I never met her. Did you know our captain is a child?

[winn]

...Jeez. [ he can't imagine dealing with that. jim being his captain is what keeps him calm when shit happens, he trusts jim. ] There's a couch in Kara's office, if you ever need a break from that. And if you ever need any engineering help over there, call me.

[spacebro]

I think it's taken care of now, but thanks. Thanks for offering the couch too. I guess Kara wouldn't mind now.

[winn]

I don't think she'd kick anyone who needed it off it, unless they were like, evil. [ he shrugs with a little smile. he still doesn't get what's going on between them at all. so weird. ] Hey, what are friends for?

[spacebro]

I appreciate your vote of confidence in me for not being evil, friend. [He raises his empty glass up to make it a toast.]

[winn]

[ he fills that glass up in the air before raising his beer and clunking it against it ]

Cheers.

[spacebro]

Cheers! [He takes a drink.] That's a TV show, right? I'm learning. [Kind of.]

[winn]

And that's where we started? Future me needs to get his priorities straight -

[spacebro]

You started by teaching me things that annoyed Kara. [He looks amused about it.]
