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! ]

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

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

Does it have to be complicated?

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

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

You could probably uncomplicate it.

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

I don't see how.

[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.

[ 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.

I've talked to him.

No. I mean—no. What did he say?

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.

[ she rolls her eyes ]

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

I know a nerd when I see one.

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

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

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

All compliments, I promise.

Well. That's nice.

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

You know you can't control everything, right? It's okay not to.

Well, clearly. We're still here, aren't we? And anyway, I'm not controlling.

...

Not always.

[Very convincing. Super convinced.]

That's not—

Okay, fine, point taken. But it's not like I can turn it off.

It's not like you have to do it either.

...

[ sigh. she knows natasha is right but she also can't break from holding patterns so easily ]

I'll work on it.

It's just usually when I don't control things, people get hurt.

I'm not trying to argue with you, Kara. Just point out that what you're doing now isn't necessarily fair.

To either of you.
