Broadcast: Yes! Video!
Action: She can be found in various public places if you so choose!
When: today!

[ Kara has decided that she needs to meet more people again. The last few months have been... strange, and she's tired of feeling sad about the memories she recently received, so: posing a question to the masses it is! The video starts with her waving cheerily. ]

Hello! My name is Kara, if we haven't met. I'm on the Tourist and it's been awhile since I sent a fleetwide video and so I thought, heck, why not do one today?

If you feel like sharing, who is someone you'd want to show up here? Now, assume they could show up here but not be weighed down with the whole "not being able to leave and therefore being miserable" baggage. I guess, who do you miss? Anyone who might think this is a great big adventure?

I'll start. I'd want Winn to come back, obviously, but beyond that, I think my sister Alex would be a tremendous asset to the fleet, plus I just miss her a lot. I also recently remembered my friend Lena, who would be very interested in the whole situation. I think she'd be a great fit—she's one of the smartest people I know—and it'd be great to see her again.

Okay! Your turn.

I'd say my sister, but this isn't the place for her.

I'd like to see my dad again, or my best friend Michonne..

[takingkarabusiness]

What's your sister like? Why wouldn't this be a good place for her?

[ Kara's questions are good natured and gentle—not prying or angling ]

[postocular]

Well, she's two. She's sweet, and really smart. I miss taking care of her the most. I've been right there since she was born, so not being around her is tough sometimes.

[ He's in his room, so he'll even take a picture off his wall to show Kara. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh my goodness! She is so cute!! But you are so right, a 2 year old would not enjoy it here. But I bet you're an amazing big brother.

[postocular]

Heh.. I try to be.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you have any particular memory you want to share?

[postocular]

I don't know. [ He does take a moment to think about it. ]

Her first word was 'no', that was pretty funny. We were all sitting around the table, Michonne was feeding her breakfast. My dad came in and gave her a kiss and she told him no. She was really serious about not wanting his beard touching her face.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I can understand that! They're scratchy!

You mentioned Michonne before. She's a friend of yours?

[postocular]

Yeah. She joined our group back when we still lived at the prison. She's my best friend. I don't know how else to describe her.

She's amazing, and she uses a katana.

[takingkarabusiness]

That is definitely amazing. Is she your age?

[postocular]

No, no. She's closer to my dad's age.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you have a crush?

[postocular]

[ LOL what. Oh, the bewildered look on his face. ]

No way! She's just-- Michonne. [ He rubs the back of his neck. Boy, this is not something he'd ever considered. She was more family than anything. Like a surrogate mother.

No. His mother. Not a replacement, she's her own entity. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Fair enough! Michonne-appropriate-levels of appreciation then.

[postocular]

She's good for my dad and she's good to Judith. She's funny, and strong, and the most capable person I've ever met.

[ It does sound like a crush, but she's just wonderful and it's hard to put it into the right words. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, even though I can't wish anyone this life, I'd still like to meet her. She sounds great.

[postocular]

She'd hate it here, but I'd still like to see her. I think she'd love the people, though.

[takingkarabusiness]

The people are pretty great, if I do say so myself.

I really wouldn't say no to my Aunt May...Though I'd be worried about how she'd handle the shock of showing up in space.

[Yeah he's...equal parts sad she's not here, but also kind of relieved. It's a weird feeling to have.

Still, he does eventually end up smiling at the thought.]

Assuming she took that well enough though, I'm sure she'd love it. Maybe not for the same reasons I do, but she'd probably see the whole thing as an exciting road trip. And probably end up swapping recipes with half the galaxy.

[What's this? Someone who is loud and happy on here? That's someone Mabel can definitely get behind!]

Weeellll, if I could, I'd bring my brother with me! I don't know about you but me and Dipper? Totally attached to the hip together!

[...For better or for worse]

[postocular]

They are, hands down.

[ Clark locates her from the sound of her voice and comes along with some ice cream he bought from a stall on the planet. It's rainbow-coloured and smells delicious.

He grins when she looks up at him. ]

To answer your question, Mom would love to meet you.

[takingkarabusiness]

What did you say your name was?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ her ice cream face is a sight to behold. like christmas morning and baby easter chicks all rolled into one beam of sunshine ]

Ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!

[ after she takes it from him and starts eating it, she remembers what he said ]

Your mom! Tell me about her!

[ She's not totally sure about literal children being in the fleet, but this girl seems nice and like she needs protecting ]

Hopefully not literally! That would be a tremendous surprise!
