GOLDSTONE OCTOBER MINGLE

[spacebro]

Who: Goldstoners and visitors and lurkers, oh my!
Broadcast: In prompts maybe
Action: Goldstone
When: October

[There have been some mysterious energy drains registering not only on the sensors but in the way the lights seem to dim for a few moments before returning to their normal strength. Maybe a non-essential computer terminal goes dark and needs to be rebooted. It's not causing any damage, but it is mysterious, no?

If you investigate through some special ability or using the ship's diagnostic tools you'll probably come to the conclusion that the energy is funneling into sleeping crewmate, Mon-El's, room and actually right into Mon-El himself. Alien cells are weird, guys.

It only lasts a day or two before he's awake and leaving the ship's energy where it belongs!

And enough about Mon-El, we have a new crewmate (Alphy) and a dead crewmate (Okita). These are exciting times!]

I just don't want to lose you. [Touching her face. So many times he felt so close to losing her already even if it was more out of things he'd done and not life and death heroing.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't want to lose you, either. It felt like I had.

I can't lose anyone else, Mon-El.

[spacebro]

Hey, you're not losing anyone. Even the people who aren't here, you're going to see them again. I'm going to get you back to your sister and Winn and everyone.

[takingkarabusiness]

I hope so.

You must be starving.

[spacebro]

I am...not without being very hungry. [Awkward wording? Where?] But I am more worried about you.

[takingkarabusiness]

We could get food and come back here and snuggle?

[spacebro]

You have the best thoughts. Have I ever told you that?

[takingkarabusiness]

Not in a month or two.

[ she kisses his cheek and hops up ]

[spacebro]

There are a lot of things I need to do to make up for lost time. [Only some of these things are dirty.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I've made a list.

[ she hasn't ]

[spacebro]

I'm going to need proof of that.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll have to find it.

Come on, I'm not waiting on you hand and foot.

[spacebro]

You want me out of bed? That's such a turnaround.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I don't want you out of my sight, but I also want food. You see my dilemma.

[spacebro]

[He pushes himself up with a bit more effort than he'd expect it to take.] I'm with you. [Taking her hand and giving it a squeeze.] Always.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she snakes herself under his arm ]

Are you feeling okay?

[spacebro]

I am doing a lot better than being in a coma. [This is very true.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Not a great answer.

[spacebro]

It's hard to compare to waking up from the last coma since I woke up with a lot of fear and adrenaline. Also, sorry about the throwing you through a wall thing. I don't think I ever said that.

But I feel good. Recharged for the most part. [Sorry about that power drain, ship!]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ plants a kiss on his cheek ]

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

[spacebro]

You were worried about me. [Smiling. He doesn't like making her worry, but he likes that she cares.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course I was. I'm not a monster.

[spacebro]

I know you're not. You're a beautiful, wonderful, talented terror at worst.

[takingkarabusiness]

Only sometimes!

[spacebro]

[He leans in for a kiss.] What else did I miss out on?
