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.]

[She smiles a little at that.] Good rule of thumb.

[axiomed]

It's one that works best in places where we have immortals wandering around.

[passingthrough]

It would be slightly less meaningful without them, yeah. There were plenty back in the prison too. And more than I cared for back home. [Apocalypse being one and all.]

[axiomed]

I suppose they add variety to our lives here.

[ Or make them reflect on life. It's hard to say. ]

[passingthrough]

Oh sure, utter boredom with all the space antics otherwise. [Teasing, but also...the fleet could be dull. Even with the majesty of it you get adapted and then fall into routines and it's not the same as life and death highs and lows which is probably a good thing, but also something that is harder to adjust to than you'd think.]

[axiomed]

It can be easy to get bored here. I've never been so still in my life until coming here.

[passingthrough]

Sure. And then you find yourself enjoying an attack from raiders when you're pretty sure enjoyment is the wrong emotion for that situation. [Or maybe that's just her.]

[axiomed]

Well, everyone needs a break from complacency.

[passingthrough]

Feels like a very polite description for an attack.

[axiomed]

I've made my business to master politeness whenever I can.

[passingthrough]

[She raises an amused eyebrow at that.] I guess we all have to make our own fun.

[axiomed]

Isn't that what we do anyway?

[passingthrough]

Pretty much. I guess someone who reads about physics for fun [like her] shouldn't make fun of other people's hobbies.

[axiomed]

Science is always a valid hobby.

[ Says the world renowned geneticist. ]

[passingthrough]

[It does earn a small smile.] I am pretty fond of it. I guess in this fleet we probably have a lot of people who are very science-oriented. At least more so than I ever remember back home. My classmates weren't exactly clamoring for more.

[axiomed]

I had Hank which was more than enough for me, thankfully.

[passingthrough]

He's a good person to have around. Which is something I never expected to be saying about Dr. Henry McCoy. [Yet she fully means it. He's become one of her favorite people here.]

[axiomed]

More people should be saying it.

[passingthrough]

We could throw him a parade.

[axiomed]

He'd hate that.

[passingthrough]

Why do you think I suggested it?

[axiomed]

If you want to do it, be my guest.

[passingthrough]

I am very good at doing what I want. [She smiles.] I should let you get back to your librarying. See you around, Charles.

[axiomed]

[ He hums lightly. ]

Take care, Kitty.
