everybody's starstruck in june.

Who: starstruck crew & visitors
Broadcast: n/a
Action: aboard the ship
When: june

[ another month; another mingle. but there are changes in the air! the starstruck has some fresh crew to boast of, as well as a spiffing new lounge. things have been difficult, lately -- the common area might make for a great place to decompress and socialize with your fellow starstruckers.

after all, it seems the captain's gone and requisitioned max's record player. for the first week in june, it'll be returned again and again to the new lounge. good luck hiding it from her, rockatanksy.

ready steady go! ]

Was it Peggy?

[ but she squeezes his hand ]

I am, too. I know we come from really different universes, but I really trust your perspective on things.

You know, sometimes, you remind me of my cousin.

Yeah. It was the middle of the war and things weren't going so well but - she made me believe I could do something about it. Part of the reason why I did.

[ people have this effect on each other. it's part of the reason they matter most to him. there was strength in the serum but steve needed this reminder that he could be more than the man on the USO tour. ]

From what I heard from Winn, that's one hell of a compliment.

[ she rolls her eyes a little and laughs. she really does seem less burdened than she did when she walked in ]

Winn has a huge mancrush on my cousin. I won't say it isn't deserved, I imagine, but it's like... a lot. Kal's a really good person, though. I was supposed to be the one who took care of him, but he turned out great regardless.

Well, every now and then everyone need a bit of support, even your cousin.

[ he wraps an arm around her shoulder, surprisingly gentle even when it's kara who is stronger than him. ]

I can't think of a better family to have.

[ she leans into it gratefully ]

I'm a pretty big fan of all of my families—biological, adopted, found...

Has anyone ever told you you have a big brother vibe? Not in the Orwellian sense, of course.

Really?

[ he smiles, accepts the compliment and the smile it brings to the surface. ]

Never thought about this way. I'm an only child, you know.

I was too, and now I have an older sister. But I kind of imagine this is what having an older brother is like.

Well.

[ touched by her confession, by how she seemed to have acted on it just by coming here and seeking his advice on a subject some would claim was hardly his forte. ]

if this is what havin' a little sister is like, I think you make for a really good one.

Thanks.

I'm not sure Alex would say the same...

[ she would. she totally would ]

I may not have met her, [ though he heard about her from both kara and winn at the time ] but I have a sure feeling she would be on my side of this.

[ older siblings must see eye to eye about these things. ]

I wish she could be here. Not that I would wish this on people but you know what I mean.

[personal profile] uprightness 2017-06-07 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[ it's the sort of thing that goes without saying, really. ]

We have some new crew members. One of them is a friend from home. I hate that he has to be here but I'm glad to see him, you know?

His name's Sam. He was here once before but not for a long time, did you guys meet?

[ he has a feeling this friendship might benefit both sides. kara is far more cheerful than any of them and sam looks like he might need a bit of cheer in his life instead of steve stubbornly getting him into trouble. ]

Oh! Yes! Briefly. He seems really great!

He's been a very good friend for some years now.

[ though steve had dragged him so deep into his mess that he's not sure how much of a friend he was being. surely there's more to it than getting sam out of the same trouble he's gotten him into. ]

Kinda glad he's around again.

I sympathize with that. I'm really happy for you.
