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.

[ Something Clark is very good at making! Thor's in for a treat. ]

There are.

A follow-up question, what about dessert?

audio.

[rebuildyourruins]

Coffee.

[Thor, that isn't desert.]

[signifies]

That's not a dessert.

audio.

[rebuildyourruins]

Sure, I know you can have it in the morning too.

[That's still his answer. He doesn't go in for desserts much.]

I used to have it with Jane after dinner though.

[ Clark will just have to introduce him to them, then. ]

Oh, long nights? I know the type.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor chuckles.]

She does often spend all night working. I understand coffee helps with that.

[signifies]

Yeah, it does. Lois only takes hers black. [ He adds: ] That's very strong.

audio.

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh yes, I know. I have it that way too.

[Not that it gives him that much of a kick, he just prefers it that way.]

It is a wonderful drink though. One of the first I had on Earth.

[ Clark rarely drinks black coffee, even if he can detect which ones are appropriate for Lois. Lattes are much more his speed. ]

Well, how about a coffee date when I'm off this ship then? We could get to know each other.

audio.

[rebuildyourruins]

Sure, I would be glad to. This system has plenty to offer in that area, so it should not be hard to find somewhere.

Then I'll let you know when I'm available.
