Action: Goldstone
When: Nowish

[Strange things have been going on recently. You may have noticed notes appearing on your bookmarks or in your cookies that aren't even fortune cookies or written out in the dust on your desk—you should really clean that. They include:

"Mon-El and Kara are cousins."

"Kara dyes her hair."

"Mon-El glitterbombs his enemies."

"Kara is, like, really old."

But it hasn't kept the couple from being extremely cute with each other. His communicator kicks on for what can only be Atroma-related reasons as they walk hand-in-hand into the Goldstone's cargo bay.]

So, Princess Bride again tonight?

As you wish!! I mean, we could branch out, but you really can't top it for quality.

[He laughs.] Seventh time is the charm? Or are we on sixth? [He leans in, ready to kiss her when something catches his eye—a crate with his name on it.] What’s that?

How should I know? It has your name on it. Do you have a secret admirer now?

Maybe. I am a very good bartender. [Smiling as he walks over to it and without so much as a crowbar, he flips it open easily despite it being obviously nailed shut. Reaching in he pulls up a handful of condoms. He doesn’t notice the note.]

[Kara laughs. Not like a ha-ha-funny laugh but she's really taken off guard.] Um. Well that's… useful? I guess? How good a bartender are you?

If I’m this good I need a raise.

[Kara raises her eyebrows and notices something distinctly not-condom-like fall from the crate and goes to pick it up]

What’s that?

[She takes a moment to read it for herself before reading it aloud with a skeptical voice] "Mon-El and Natasha had sex."

[Mon-El’s eyes widen, but before he can reply the video cuts out. You’ll have to call in for the details.]

(OOC: Part of the Rumors event. | Mon-El | Kara | Both will respond and also possibly Natasha.)

That, [ kate almost gushes, ] is a long list.

[ she sets one glass in front of kara, and the other in front of herself. then it's just a matter of pouring her own ounce; kara's got the superbrew in hand, and therefore can pour hers. ]

But if we strip away the obvious bad dudes and super-villains, then I guess -- any more of Clint's exes. I can't handle the drama most of them bring with them. And it's not their fault. Clint's the drama queen.

[ any of her own exes? kate likes to think she'd handle with grace. even noh-varr. but heaven help them all if bobbi ever showed up. ]

That seems reasonable. It kind of seems like you're cleaning up his messes a lot.

I choose... truth, too.

[ladybro]

[ and kate's glad kara doesn't ask about the alluded-to ex who is in the fleet, 'cause that's probably not the best idea. bringing the conversation back around to natasha, even if their worlds are different.

so, instead: ] Tell me about your first kiss.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh. It was terrible! First kisses are only good in the movies, I think.

Unsurprisingly, I was an extremely weird kid for a few years after I landed, so I didn't really notice boys or have boys notice me for awhile. So, sometime in high school there was this boy—Robbie Wilson, I think?—we took a walk around the field during an evening soccer game. He kissed me behind some unused bleachers. How cliché, right?

Well, I went a little hard and I might have broken his nose.

[ladybro]

Oh my God, Kara. You didn't. [ but she must have. and kate nearly screeches with laughter. ] Were you traumatized? [ ... ] Was he traumatized?

action »

[takingkarabusiness]

He might have been, but clearly I wasn't. It happened again later.

[ladybro]

Two for two. [ she reaches for a tendril of kara's hair, fussing with it. ] You poor thing.

[takingkarabusiness]

Um...

Four?

[ she giggles ]

[ladybro]

Young Kara was a menace.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe humans break too easily!

action »

[ladybro]

I've kissed an alien, Kara, and he didn't break my nose. [ kate bobbed her head a moment, thinking. ] But there were other complications.

[takingkarabusiness]

Like what?

[ladybro]

[ definitely need another drink for this one. then, grinning: ] Mind control spit.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ i used that icon too early ]

What?

[ladybro]

Noh-Varr, [ she says a name she's said before. no shame behind it, of course. ] He could do this thing. It was supposed to be a Kree warrior enhancement or something stupid like that but -- y'know, when used under certain circumstances...?

[ a half-shrug. god, she's had too much to drink already if she's telling this almost-story. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah...?

[ she's going to make you keep going. she's naive and precious ]

[ladybro]

[ oh, sweetheart. kate bites down on her smile. ]

Think the best make-out session you've ever had, plus hallucinations. Nice hallucinations. Not the kind you get when you're pulling all-nighters during finals week.

[takingkarabusiness]

That definitely sounds like a perk.

[ladybro]

Oh, it was a perk. Hundred percent. [ shame about the rest of him, though. ] And doing it all in zero-g didn't hurt either.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll have to try it out sometime.

[ladybro]

Get on it. [ ... ] I mean, there's gotta be a way to toggle the gravity in these things. [ kate wonders. ] Have you and Mon-El even...? Yet?

[takingkarabusiness]

Kate. Come on. I know how I come off, but you do realize he's the only guy I've dated who isn't likely to snap in half, right? Of course we have.

[ caught up in the moment, her previous anxieties are forgotten—she's already made up her mind to forgive him ]

[ladybro]

-- The make-up sex is gonna be amazing, isn't it?

[ no. shame. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

It had better be! Otherwise, what's the point!

[ laughing in the way that only being a drunk at a sleepover and revealing personal things about yourself can make you laugh ]

[ladybro]

[ get it, girl. ]

I'll drink to that.

[ cheers, motherfutzer. ]
