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.]

Hey, I've done things.

[winn]

Let's hear it -

[ no judgment, no mockery, he wants to know what mon-el's been up to. ]

[spacebro]

Uh, well, lots of travel? Unless you mean this time with me in space in which case there hasn't been much going on. [Smug only works for general time spent traveling in space.]

[winn]

Tell me about the places you've seen?

[ he takes another sip of his beer. he wants to know more about mon-el, befriend him in his own right, not just because he knows future him. ]

[spacebro]

(OOC: Going headcanon because who knows what will happen in future episodes with actual DC planets.)

There's Atarla which has these shimmering lakes where the ripples keep changing color and they emit vibrations that sounds like music and every 96 days they fall into a perfect harmony and the whole lake turns the purest, glowing white for a couple of minutes.

The cities also have great places for dancing and drinking. [Because priorities, but he liked seeing the lakes.]

[winn]

Oh wow -- that sounds beautiful. Well, except for when they're off tune, that probably sounds less beautiful and more ear bleeding.

[ but what a place. he can't help but imagine taking kitty there, dancing for a few minutes to an actual perfect harmony of nature...it would be so romantic. ]

[spacebro]

That isn't as bad as you'd think either. It's a great date spot. [Almost as if reading brackets, but mostly just thinking about what he's done there before.]

[winn]

Mmhm, done that a lot?

[spacebro]

What would you call a lot?

[winn]

If you have to ask - you're there.

[spacebro]

There may have been a few ladies.

[winn]

Are those few in single or double digits?

[spacebro]

[He laughs.] Not at that particular planet. [When you get around you need to literally get around too.]

[winn]

Ever date a girl from a less human-looking species?

[spacebro]

Sure. [Easy answer.] Did you have your eye on someone less human-looking before Kitty? [look how right he got her name.]

[winn]

[ he's so very proud ]

No, I'm pretty strictly into human-esque. [ wow, how true that is. when was he last into a human? ] What'd they look like?

[spacebro]

Well, there was a girl with blue and green fin like growths on her head. No hair. Her skin kind of shimmered. And there was Vtock with purple skin and curled horns. Oh, and Marta had feathers where you'd expect hair and golden skin and no pupils in her eyes. She was something.

[winn]

[ he tries to picture each woman as he listens to her description. they all still come out as pretty human with really good movie makeup in his head, though. he's sure he's nowhere near doing them justice. ]

Did she have something instead of pupils? [ he probably wouldn't know how her eyes worked, would he... ]

[spacebro]

[He's not wrong. He never dated anyone who was more white martian than green martian. Let's put it that way. But he's dated people who can't pass for human.] They were just white. It seemed like she could see just fine. [He sure doesn't.]

[winn]

That sounds kinda creepy.

[ you never know where she's looking, just the thought throws him a little off balance. ]

[spacebro]

You get used to it.

[winn]

Guess you do.

[ he nods ] So d'you ever meet anyone that was like...too far?

[spacebro]

Too far like a distant planet?

[winn]

Too far, like, too unlike you.

[ which may not be the coolest question to ask, but he's both trying to get to know his friend and gauge how much he can open up to him. ]

[spacebro]

Oh... Well, I mean, no one is attracted to everyone? At a certain point things might not [Makes vague, meaningless gesture.] work.
