Who: Kara & u
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Tourist/Rew System/w/e
When: Today!

[ The broadcast from Kara is cheery. She waves. ]

Helloooo fellow passengers. Wait, no, that was really cheesy. Anyway. Hi! I'm back in the land of the waking, so to speak, and it looks like I missed my first Fleet Birthday, which would be more of a bummer if I wasn't, you know, being held here indefinitely. Anyway! Hi! I missed everyone, so fill me in on your lives! What's been going on? I heard there was some pretty tense moments there for a little while but we don't have to talk about that if you don't want to. Or we can! Just, whatever you feel like.

Oh, and Cisco I need to talk to you. Not in a scary way I promise! Just in a normal... friend way?

Just call me!

[ Kara can be found on the Tourist or taking in the nature sights system-side. Come say hi! ]

Definitely the situational awareness.

[outstandingbalance]

It takes practice.

[takingkarabusiness]

And self-awareness of any kind.

[outstandingbalance]

Harsh. I've seen worse.

[takingkarabusiness]

I promise I think he has some less terrible qualities.

[outstandingbalance]

You'll have to tell me what you think some of them are.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's charismatic and relatively easy to talk to. He is actually pretty funny, and plays a mean game of Monopoly.

[outstandingbalance]

Now it sounds like maybe you don't actually dislike him.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't dislike him. It's just complicated.

[outstandingbalance]

Does it have to be complicated?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't know if it has to be anything, but it is how it is.

[outstandingbalance]

[That answer gets a shrug and a tip of the head.]

You could probably uncomplicate it.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ is that a joke because it kind of seems like a joke... but ok, it's not a joke ]

I don't see how.

[outstandingbalance]

[Perhaps it's both a joke and an actual suggestions. Multitasking.]

What's complicating it? You're from different planets, but you ended up on the same one, and you're both here now. You're different, but that's only a problem if you're trying to be the same. You think he has potential, but he's an okay guy now. And he wants to be better.

Plus, he's a nerd about you.

Doesn't actually seem that complicated to me.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ that makes her snort with laughter ]

He is not a nerd about anything, least of all me. Where did you even get that idea? That's ridiculous.

[outstandingbalance]

I've talked to him.

[takingkarabusiness]

No. I mean—no. What did he say?

[outstandingbalance]

You realize that's not how it works, right? He didn't say he's a nerd. But he is one when he talks about you.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she rolls her eyes ]

I know that. I mean, what made you think he's a nerd when he talked about me?

[outstandingbalance]

I know a nerd when I see one.

[takingkarabusiness]

You know, for someone who's all about preaching for things to be less complicated, you're not helping.

[outstandingbalance]

Kara, you make things less complicated by relaxing. You're still hyperfocusing.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it's natural to want to know what other people are saying about you.

[outstandingbalance]

All compliments, I promise.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well. That's nice.

[ kind of unconvinced. it'd be easier if he didn't like her ]
