Who: Sara
Broadcast: Video!
Action: On the Marsiva // The Twin Roses
When: Now!

[ The feed starts with Sara adjusting the camera and pursing her lips, then flashing a waxy smile that doesn't go anywhere near her eyes ]

Hi, so, I'm going to need you to go ahead and let me out of here and return me to my ship. I mean, we could do this the long way, but you really, really won't like that. It will be long. And painful. Possibly over days. The thing I'm going to assume you didn't realize about me before you decided to make this incredibly idiotic move is that I don't take kindly to cages. They're not really my thing, and I have a particular prejudice against the people who want to put me in them.

But hey.

[ She puts her hands up in a conciliatory manner ]

Maybe I'm reading this entire situation the wrong way. Just come and get me, we'll talk, and I won't even break your fingers for it. Promise.

Okay? Okay. Chop chop!

[ She rolls her eyes, sighs, and switches off the camera ]

****

[ some time later, Sara shows up in a burst of confetti on The Twin Roses. Hi friends! ]

[passingthrough]

The pressure. [She smiles.]

Where were we. What do you want to know about next? The Atroma? Day to day life? The turn down service?

[sassy_assassin]

The turn down service. Is this something you provide or...?

[passingthrough]

[Wow, someone is matching her general flirtiness. She's used to making guys blush. SHe might be on the verge of one herself.] That's on a case-by-case basis.

[sassy_assassin]

[ sara smirks. hey, at least the girls are fun ]

What's your day-to-day like? Do you have a job? Save the multiverse? Crochet?

[passingthrough]

[Sliding back into tour guide mode, answering more for the general population and what Sara might encounter than just herself at first.] You're left to your own devices. You'll have a certain role on your ship. I'm captain and engineer. How much effort you want to put into any of that is up to you and possibly your captain though if you don't like them you could just apply to also be captain or transfer ships.

Jobs are optional, but it is nice to have money for better food and clothes and whatever you're into. I've picked up temporary work in the systems we visit before. We're usually there about a month now. It used to be closer to two months when I arrived so that can shift around. I do have a permanent job as a bartender at Malum now though.

I did more saving of the multiverse back home than here, but we did help evacuate a dying planet once. I was in a coma though. Comas are a thing here. More of a thing anyway.

No crocheting for me. I do a lot of training in the gym and I take my direwolf for walks and stalk the network. Rescue new arrivals from themselves. [Smirking.] I get a little stir crazy on the ships so I spent a lot of time on the stations and worlds we come across too. And I read a lot. In my spare time I try to overthrow the Atroma and get everyone wherever they want to go next. Any day now. [Said with no earnestness.]

[sassy_assassin]

What's the gym like? And I may have to look into the bartending gig. It wouldn't be the worst job I've ever had.

[passingthrough]

Gym's good. It could always be better but a lot of it is reinforced so when people with super strength use it things don't all fall apart. [Totally normal for people to have super strength, right?]

It does seem like the staff is kind of thin. He might be looking.

[sassy_assassin]

Well, I don't have super strength but I do work out a bit. You'll have to show it to me.

[passingthrough]

Neither do I, but I can probably handle showing you the way.

[And since there's no rush.] What do you do with a time ship anyway? Isn't that kind of dangerous? I'd ask if it means time is immutable, but I definitely know it's extremely not. At least not where I'm from.

1/2

[sassy_assassin]

Well, mostly we screw things up. But it's in service of trying to unscrew the stupid things other people have done.

[sassy_assassin]

[ AND IN a puff of confetti, Sara is suddenly standing next to Kitty, holding a pudding. she is as surprised as anyone ]

What the fu—

[passingthrough]

[Kitty was leaning against a chair having the conversation, but the sudden shift has her instinctively phasing through the chair. She catches herself so she doesn't fall all the way below deck but she is a mess of Kitty parts and chair parts and floor parts for a moment as she starts to rise back up.

Ahem. That didn't happen.]

I guess we know which ship you got assigned to. I was kidding about the ignoring the captain thing before. [Brushing herself off not that she actually interacted with any dust particles on the floor.]

[sassy_assassin]

What was that? Was that a you thing or a here thing or what?

[passingthrough]

[For a moment, she's confused thinking Sara means suddenly arriving since obviously the other thing didn't happen! Gosh!]

This thing? [She waves a hand through the chair like it isn't there.] That's a me thing. I'm a mutant. It's my power.

[sassy_assassin]

Oh, like a meta-human.

[ her expression approves ]

Sweet. That actually seems like a pretty great power to have.

[ she notices the pudding and starts eating it ]

[passingthrough]

Not exactly like that. We're born with an X-gene... Wait. What? Are you from that world? Cisco, Flash, that one?

[sassy_assassin]

You know Cisco? How? Is he here?

[passingthrough]

He was. He and my boyfriend built a karaoke machine together, but he's been gone for awhile. [This is how you're remembered, Cisco.]

[sassy_assassin]

That sounds like Cisco.

You know anyone else from that world here?

[passingthrough]

I don't think so, but Kara is from a reality that intersected with theirs sometimes. I'll text her.

[Typing away.]

[sassy_assassin]

Kara... Kara....

[ she's rolling it over in her head, trying to figure out who that is ]

Right! Yes. Blonde hair, hot sister. Kara.

[passingthrough]

Blonde hair is right. I haven't seen a photo of Alex. You're on the same side, right?

[sassy_assassin]

We have been so far.

[passingthrough]

Good. I know bad guys would never lie about that. [Kidding. Yes, why did she bother asking?] Did you know Winn?

[sassy_assassin]

That's someone's name?

No, sorry.
