Open video / Space Bar mingle

[spacebro]

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Open to all
Action: At the Space Bar on the Iskaulit
When: March 1, 2017

Hello, everyone, I have a very important announcement. Kara and I are together! It's amazing and better than I could have imagined and you should all celebrate with us at the Space Bar today. The first round is on me! Oh, and I am Mon-El if we haven't met. Hello. [Just beaming.]

[This is him keeping it low key. He did manage to wait an entire 13 days before making a mass announcement at least? He was telling people on the side already though.]

(OOC: Video responses here. Go ahead and use this as a mingle whether you're at the Space Bar to celebrate their love or just to have a drink.)

Aw, come on, it's kind of cute that he's so excited about dating you.

_{[ Or maybe concerning. He doesn't know Mon-El well enough or the characteristics of his race to make a judgement on that. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, I appreciate it but it's also tremendously embarrassing.

[universal_charm]

Well, one of you had to be the embarrassing one in the relationship. And hey, this does save you having to be asked eight million times at the next party.

[takingkarabusiness]

You do raise a good point. And at least he's not oversharing.

[universal_charm]

Not yet, but you might want to have a talk about that before he does.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, Rao, you're right. He doesn't have the best instinct for what's socially appropriate by Earth standards.

[universal_charm]

Yeeeeeah, I kind of got that. So, you know, might want to cover that so he doesn't go looking for a high-five after you two, you know, go to the next level.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm legitimately surprised he hasn't yet.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Oh, that implicated some things he didn't want to think about, but he's going to choose the fact that you just mean that you're dating. You're like his sister, he doesn't want to think those things! ]}

If it helps, I'm ninety-nine percent sure he doesn't mean it in a womanizing way if he does.

[takingkarabusiness]

What makes you so sure?

[ because she wouldn't be with him if it was? ]

[universal_charm]

He's just genuinely happy about things as far as I can tell.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, he is. I am too, current situation excluded.

[universal_charm]

Well, I mean, he doesn't seem the type to do things for reasons that would get him labeled a jackass. More like loveable, well-intentioned dork.

But it's good you're happy too.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then he has made a good impression on you because he's usually pretty fratboy-ish. Before we got together, anyway.

[universal_charm]

Well, I only talked to him a few times, to be honest. But even then, he didn't strike me as... well, as that sort of guy.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? What sort of guy?

[universal_charm]

Well, you know, the gross frat boy kind of guy.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would say he's not gross, or I wouldn't be with him. He's learning.

[universal_charm]

No, I definitely think you would have better taste than that.

Does he need to learn? He's quirky, don't let that go.

[takingkarabusiness]

I will break him of saying "mate" if it's the last thing I do.

But I support the quirk.

[universal_charm]

Oh, come on, maybe that's just a cultural thing for him! I bet it's super sweet where he's from.

[takingkarabusiness]

It is a cultural thing but it's super weird where I'm from.

[universal_charm]

What does 'mate' mean to him then?

[takingkarabusiness]

Partner?

[universal_charm]

And that's such a bad thing? You are boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't you?
