Total Eclipse of the Tourist

Who: Touristos and friends
Broadcast: as needed
Action: Tourist/wherever friends are found
When: August

[ One may have noticed the mood around The Universe's Most Hospitable Ship has been somber and quiet as of late, despite the super swank new system. Feel free to drop by unannounced, call in, or just drop a line! ]

[It takes a little time before Chekov, in a similar funk because of a different comatose person, works himself up to looking for Kara. No one who has recently learned that her handsome alien boyfriend is in a coma should need to be alone if she doesn't really want to be.

Also, Chekov kind of wants a hug.

He knocks lightly on Kara's door.]


Kara? Are you home?

[Upon the fleet's arrival in the Kayanni system, Chekov wasted no time in going planetside to check out the vast city-world's infinite array of distractions. (His favorite things are the hovers. There's a delightful element of not-too-dangerous-danger in flying through the air and trying to remember the various signals and traffic laws.)

As soon as he learned that Kitty was in a coma, however, he retreated to the Tourist. He has since been splitting his time between brooding in his bunk with a bottle of decent potato-based vodka from a previous system, poking around the communications station on the bridge in a halfhearted attempt to improve it, and beating up the helpless punching bag in the cargo hold. If he's going to be sad the entire time he's in the fleet, he may as well be a drunk, useful, and-or buff sad person.]

[Oh good, she's alive and responsive! He comes in, accompanied by a small bag of assorted GlamCo(TM) brand sweets.]

I never mind clutter. [Instead of sitting or making himself comfortable, he holds the candies out to Kara.] I'm assured that these are the best things to eat on the entire planet.

[The honesty is appreciated more than forced cheer would be.]

If you aren't opposed to company. [She wouldn't have extended the invitation if she really was, so he joins her on her nest of a bed.] ...May I hug you?

[Yes, let's. He hugs her and does nothing to indicate that he would like to stop doing that in the immediate future. Kara snuggle hugs are good.]

[Natasha didn't hear about Mon-El for a few days. Not that strange. She keeps tabs on things, but not that close of tabs.

When she finds out, she makes a trip over. She might be wrong, but she feels like Kara might be the type to mope.

She also might be the type who'd like someone else to distract her when she's moping.]


Hey. Up for some popcorn?

Months, at least.

[He lets her go but stays close.]

On the bright side, we should be well-paid during these months.

Those can be purchased. Maybe even delivered if enough credits are involved.

Good. Because you're doing the popping.

[Natasha's words are more light than her tone, which has a distinct note of sympathy.]

[Mon-El is not Fenris' favourite person - but Kara is definitely one of them, so he'll absolutely be checking up on her. The fact she's not been her chirpy self making sure everyone else is okay is rather telling. He's worried.

So, he'll be seeking her out, knocking on her door.

Kara?

[It's not a fun month for some of the crew on the Tourist, wow. Fenris will eventually find Chekov beating that poor punching bag to a pulp. Poor guy. What did it ever do to you, Pavel? Fenris steps forward, smiling a little. ]

I think you are about to turn it to fluff at this rate. Would you prefer a sparring partner?

[Because that's easier than talking about feelings, right? ]

[Hey, Chekov and punching bags have a history. One retaliated against him not so long ago. He may never recover from the embarrassment of being hit in the face with an inanimate object in front of Natasha.

Chekov pauses and stills the swinging bag.]


I haven't sparred with a partner since the Academy. If you are willing to be patient with me then I would prefer that, yes.

Promise, I won't tell a soul. [She shakes her head.] Thought maybe it was about time for us to have another movie night.

Say the word and I will find a way to make this happen.
