Mon-El | OTA

[spacebro]

Arts & Crafts in the Kitchen
[With holidays Mon-El is vaguely aware of approaching and no idea if they'll be in a system to buy anything worthwhile he is attempting to make something worthwhile. He has some odds and ends he has picked up over time along with scissors, thread, glue.

He doesn't have much in the way of finished product, but look! He made a square!

Here's hoping there will be shops.]

Mon-El, the helpful
[Ever since the crash—really, even during the crash—Mon-El has made an effort to be more helpful to his crewmates. He looks at the security stuff. It doesn't really feel like it needs a lot of attending, but he does what he can. But he also just helps around. Dishes mysteriously wash themselves. Sometimes he'll bake for the crew. Have some protein chip things with a protein gel ganache? Or he may just offer his services.]

Need a hand with that?

Wildcard
[Wild it up so hard!]

[ kara comes up behind him and drapes her arms over his shoulders, kissing his cheek. she's been out for awhile. ]

What are you doing?

So helpful

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley peers up from his communicator, one eyebrow slowly arching over his sunglasses. ]

No, I don't especially need a hand, unless you want to join me in my grand efforts of procrastination. Honestly, I think you could probably use it. You've been a bit too much boy scout-y lately.

[A smirk crosses his face. ]

...Did you accidentally melt the toaster or something? Is this guilt?

[spacebro]

Hi. [He smiles warmly at her presence, tilting his head to better catch a glimpse of her behind him.] I am making a potholder or possibly a very small blanket. [It would definitely burn you if you used this potholder and you weren't him or Kara.] What do you think?

[spacebro]

Guilt? What? No. [Awkwardly laughing in that way that says, "yes, of course it is. Well spotted."] Wait, did the toaster get melted?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she presses her face into his neck ]

Definitely leaning more toward very small blanket. I'm not big on potholders.

[spacebro]

Maybe someone will want it for their slug. And you should have potholders on hand in case we lose our powers again and you decide you need to start a fire. [By baking.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Hey, I can bake without starting fires. I make a mean chocolate chip cookie.

[ she's still hugging him and trying to be more casual but something isn't quite getting her there ]

[spacebro]

Mean is a very accurate term. [He kisses her cheek. If he had a better view of her he'd be sure, but he does have a sneaking suspicion something might be up.]

[takingkarabusiness]

When did you learn to sew?

[spacebro]

Well, it was more...glue and staples? But I was thinking of getting a book on sewing.

[onlyanapple]

No, but it could have been, and the person who did it might have hidden the evidence.

So. What's with the helping?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I see now.

I'm sure there's someone here who could teach you.

[spacebro]

Also possible.

So, what have you been up to today?

[spacebro]

I'm starting to worry for the toaster.

[He shrugs.] We're a crew. Isn't that what crews do?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she takes a moment and then sighs ]

Burning bridges, apparently.

[onlyanapple]

Poor Toastie- we knew ye well.

[Eyeballing. So much eyeballing. ]

This crew?

[spacebro]

Is ours different?

[spacebro]

Where did you find a bridge and what did it do to you?

[takingkarabusiness]

Jim. He's mad at me for leaving to find you, I hate how he treats me like an overpowered child.

[spacebro]

That doesn't sound good. [He shifts himself, pulling a chair out for her too.] What happened?

[onlyanapple]

I suppose it's better than it used to be. But remember, this place is half Pathstone and that was the worst ship filled with terrible people. Some of that kinda lives on in spirit, I think.

[That is UTTER bullshit. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she plops down next to him ]

I went back to ask what was going on with the whole "littering the ship with cannibal bodies" and the truth is? I had a much better conversation with the guys who did that than I did with Jim. He said that he couldn't trust me anymore and I had betrayed them by leaving. I told him that he's never trusted me, which is true. He didn't even deny it.

[spacebro]

So, he waited until you were upset about something completely different and valid to ambush you with something unrelated? Kara, I'm sorry. I can't imagine anyone not trusting you.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ as she talks, she takes his hands and weaves her fingers through his ]

He said that he didn't approve but he didn't want to fight, and I said it was a good thing I wasn't there because I would have caused a fight about it, and he decided to use that as a launchpad to criticize me for leaving. And fine, I get it. I didn't handle it great. But he acts like he's the patriarch of this close knit ship family and it's just not the way it is. I knew they'd be able to take care of themselves, I didn't want them to worry about me, and I had to know that you were okay. Not leaving to find you was never an option.
