    [Alex looks down at the gas mask in her hands. It's one of the standard issue, nothing fancy. She hasn't gone so far as to try to buy her own yet, and isn't planning to. She isn't exactly flush with cash, and they won't be here long—she figures. It's her first time on another planet.

    All her training and work with the DEO should have prepared her for this, but facing the real thing...

    Somehow, this isn't what she would have expected, if she'd thought it would happen at all. It hadn't ever occurred to her that at some point she might be the alien.

    She takes a deep breath, a last one before she puts on her gas mask and heads out to explore.]

    [ Alex would find she wasn't the only one who had decided to go out and explore today. Kirk had been making a habit of it from day one when he got his mask, having chosen one of the less fanciful, more functional masks. He helped him blend in the forests, and frankly helped save his pocket book. He had never been one for flashy clothing or anything else anyways, except for maybe his bike, but that was long gone.

    He hears someone else out in the forests with him, turning back to look and following the sound of steps. He raised his hand in greeting to her, smiling behind his mask. ]


    Hey, you out exploring today too?

    [personal profile] sisteragency 2016-04-05 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
    That's the idea. [She adjusts her mask a little. It's not exactly comfortable, but it seems to Alex that when the locals say to wear a gas mask because of the pollution, you listen.

    Of course, some people might also take that as a sign to stay inside where the air is filtered.

    Obviously neither of the two of them had that second thought.]


    It's my first chance getting to check out a moon in person. Who passes something like that up?

    [personal profile] universal_charm 2016-04-08 04:31 am (UTC)(link)

    [ Oh, he had. But he wasn't one to let something like pollution keep him away from exploration if there was way around it. The masks worked, and you got used to the shape of it on your face soon enough. Besides, this wasn't the most dangerous thing he had ever done, not by a long shot. ]

    Not anyone with sense, though I do wish he'd stopped at a prettier one. It's a bit dreary - doesn't make for a first good impression of space for people.

    Because it's dreary, or because it's toxic? Because give the choice between the two...

    [Alex shrugs. Neither one is going to keep her indoors, so it doesn't really make a big difference which. She smiles a little, but it's hard to say how much that softens her expression when it's only half visible through a plastic visor.]

    Space is a big place. I'll try not to let this influence my whole impression of it.

    [ from a distance, it's hard really to be sure if he's seeing who he thinks he's seeing - he's on foreign soil in every possible definition of the word, seeing things is kind of well - surprising it hasn't happened yet, honestly! there are plenty of things, and people, he would just brush off had he imagined - but kara's sister? he has to know for sure, and preferably before she makes it out because that would require asking a potential stranger to go back in so she could take off her mask and show him her strangeness (and that -- just sounds wrong! he meant her face! dammit, why is he wasting time justifying himself to himself? run, winn, run!

    and run he does, mask and way too many purchases that he was super excited about just a second ago but are now holding him back in hand. he would care about the ridiculous show he's putting on for all spectates but honestly, that would mean he would have to care about that 24/7, or however time works on this moon. ]


    Alex! [ suddenly remembering that running right at a deo agent is probably a bad idea. also, running right at a perfect stranger - possibly worse idea? depends on who that stranger would turn out being - it's schrodinger's stranger! ] Alex - wait up! [ panting, damn, he's out of shape. ]

    [Alex pulls up short when she hears her name. If it weren't in a voice she recognized, she probably wouldn't have. Who expects to run into your sister's friends on a strange moon?

    On the other hand, maybe it should be less surprising when your sister is an alien.]


    Winn? Either way, he's here now, and she does stop, and she looks at him for a few seconds before she moves toward him, taking one of his bags if he'll let her have it. It looks like he's going to start dropping them otherwise.] What are you doing here?—and what are all of these?
    winn: (Elementary my dear Watson)

    [personal profile] winn 2016-04-08 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
    [ he absolutely lets her have it, and quite gratefully too. he smiles ]

    Probably, the same thing you are - does Kara knows you're here yet? She'll have a good freak!

    [ his smile turns a little more mischievous, as he finally settles his breath ]

    Actually, your timing could not have been more perfect, cuz those are sun generator parts that I'm not entirely sure how to put together. [ more like, a bunch of very basic parts he and kitty thought they could use to put one together. it's not as neat as figuring out ikea instructions with all the parts there - but if you don't have optimism in this space life, what do you have! ] I could use your help.

    Because the artificial light on board doesn't give Kara a charge, right.

    [At least that's a problem she can probably tackle. Being kidnapped for some kind of outer space version of Big Brother is proving to be just slightly outside of her skill set. Putting together something that mimicked the effects of a yellow sun, though?]

    Is that what you were shopping for? [She gives all his parcels an inclusive look.] And yeah, I ran into Kara on the ship. You could say we both got a surprise.
    winn: (07)

    [personal profile] winn 2016-04-17 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
    Exactly! Yup - I've got a bunch of stuff back on the Tourist, too.

    [ it's a problem that's a little out of his wheel-house, but he's trying his best. it's a huge relief to see her - his chances of accidentally giving himself radiation poisoning or some sort of disease dramatically decrease with someone who has a more specific idea of what needs to be done around. ]

    She must be thrilled.

    [personal profile] sisteragency 2016-04-17 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
    There were definitely some feelings. [On both sides. Guilt definitely among them on Alex's side.] It's hard to believe she's been here so long and I didn't even know about it.

    <[But dwelling on that isn't going to be useful to anyone.]/small>

    The Tourist? That's one of the other ships?
    winn: (53)

    [personal profile] winn 2016-04-17 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ he can imagine. they've had a lot of feelings, and as important as he knows that he is to kara, he's not her sister.

    he nods in sympathy ]


    Yeah, I've been there. Time -- doesn't really seem to move linearly here, you had no way of knowing.

    [ this place is basically a physicist's paradise. ]

    Yeah, it's the one we stay on. Well -- it's Kara's, I kind of took over her office, but I can vacate it for you, I have a bunk on another ship. [ he likes being close to kara, and he hasn't really bonded with anyone on the bishop, but if there's only room for one of them, it should be alex that gets her couch, it's completely clear to him. ]

    [personal profile] sisteragency 2016-04-17 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    Thanks, but you don't have to do that. [Alex shakes her head as she says it.] Kara and me shared a room for years growing up. I'm sure if we have to we can figure something out here too.

    Besides, I'm not going to be responsible for kicking anyone else out of their bed.

    [Or couch, as the case may be.]

    So just how long have you been here?
    winn: (Elementary my dear Watson)

    [personal profile] winn 2016-04-20 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
    Don't worry about it, if you don't eventually Kara will.

    [ he's using it for a make out spot a little too much. ok, he doesn't really think kara would ever kick him out, but he just wants to make alex comfortable with taking it. ]

    A month and change - it flies right by, though.
    sisteragency: (The Time Travelers)

    [personal profile] sisteragency 2016-04-20 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Was that a joke? That kind of sounded like a joke.

    Alex shakes her head a little. She probably doesn't need to know about the making out anyway. There's enough on her plate as is.

    At least she's not going to argue with it anymore than she already has.]


    We can let Kara decide who's sleeping where since it's her office.

    [Though that raises other questions.]

    What exactly is her office for? You both have jobs here, right?
