Who: Clark Kent and you.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Aboard the Marsiva.
When: The week of his arrival.

I don't suppose I could click my heels three times. . . [ Only Clark gets his little joke. ]

I'll keep this brief. My name is Clark - I'm from Kansas.

[ He's been the new guy at work often enough to sound chill about this, but he is feeling a little shaky having woken up here in the middle of his workday. To top it off, not being able to hear his mother's heartbeat is jarring.

There's some stress baking in Clark's future. ]

What do you make of this place? I'm curious to know how it compares to where you come from.

Honestly, it's hard to tell. Keeping track of time in space when things are really hectic is difficult. I'd definitely say at least a year. Year and a half? It all gets...really confusing.

[They've tried to make some kind of Earth equivalent calendar on the castle ship, but they're not really sure how accurate it is.]

[signifies]

Yeah, I bet.

[ He gets a very cheerful vibe from Lance, which is what prompts Clark's next question. ]

I actually have to ask you a very important question. What's your favourite flavour of pie?

[the_tailor]

That...is an important question indeed. Uhhhh... I do love some good ol' fashioned apple pie! It's always a pain in the butt to make look pretty though, with all of the criss crossing on the top crust and stuff. Why do you ask?

[signifies]

Would you believe I have a superhuman ability? It's making that exact apple pie you're describing.

[the_tailor]

Wait, whaaaaaaa? There's such a thing as a pie making superpower???

[Color him massively intrigued. Lance has seen a lot due to his time in space, but this is new!]

[signifies]

Yes, there is.

[ Clark doesn't have one, though. ]

[the_tailor]

Do you actually have it, because if you do, we need to hang out like approximately five minutes ago.

[ He can't help it: he laughs. ]

I would never pull your leg on a matter of such gravity.

[the_tailor]

I haven't had a good pie in a whiiiiile... Now you've got me dying for one, man.

[signifies]

I know where you can get one.

[ It'll be on Clark's to do list as soon as he's off the ship. ]
