driftfleet | Fleetwide Text Post, Action for the Tourist

Who: Chloe Price and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Tourist
When: Around the 12th.

Text Broadcast:

Wanted: Single person for valentine's day.
Requirements: Don't be a little kid, don't be really old, don't be a stick in the mud. Don't mind cigarettes. Don't be a prude.

Details: So I am not sitting alone in my fucking cabin on valentine's day. Or third wheeling it with one of the 'so happy couples' everyone I know seems to have turned into lately.

Rented a pretty nice cabin down on the ringworld because FUCK YES RINGWORLD. Ever notice that even after a year in space there's still shit that can surprise you? I mean, damn, a Ringworld.

Anyway.

Let's see. I'll cook, there'll be booze, a view, place has a lake. Maybe go swimming? Heard of worse things to do on valentine's day.

If we hit it off you'll probably get laid so. Yeah. Date with benefits. Happy endings all around.

Come one, come all. Applications start below.

[Action for the Tourist]

[After her funk over the last few weeks, Chloe has seemed a bit more...up, recently? At least, she's not sitting in her cabin or the lab all day anymore. She's been cooking again, singing along with her music again, just...getting back to normal. Maybe she's feeling better?]

[Or maybe it's a glitch, of course, since she's also way more talkative when people are around. But even if it was, it's better than all the moping and pity-party stuff, yes? She can be found all over the ship really, cooking, working, sometimes exercising..]

I'm sure it will be. I hope you find someone to spend it with.

...I just realized I don't know your name. I'm Mon-El.

[At least he was following the naming convention...]

Chloe. [Hm.] You don't know a 'Kal-El' do you?

Not personally. You do? [Now he's not sure if Kara told him more or if she's from that world too.]

[She actually snickers at that.]

Nah. I'm from a way more boring world than you guys are.

They must have told you a lot about it.

...Sure. [Not giving up one little secret at least.] I picked up some information here and there. You know how it is, right?

[She'd watched the Supergirl movie so many times.]

[That sounds vaguely suspicious, but he nods.] I guess so.

Oh, what day does Valentine's Day fall on?

[Totally what she was going for.]

Tuesday. Day after tomorrow.

Thanks.

And is everything you mentioned...traditional for the day?

Pretty much. I mean, a lot of is just fabricated nonsense from jewelry companies but it's become tradition, yeah.

Is it customary to give jewelry?

Or flowers. Or candy? Or wine sometimes.

Kinda person-specific.

...Why all the questions?

Just...curious about earth traditions. [And because he might make sure Kara isn't lonely that day?] They can be surprising. I wasn't expecting the hanging skeletons at Halloween.
