voice • un: karad

[mayarah]

[ how did she get this number? who even knows. ]

You're awake! And you're real. Hi! [ and after a moment, a little embarrassed at the sudden thought that maybe he doesn't remember her: ] It's Kara. From the simulation?

[ bellamy had contacted her; eggsy is the other person she met in the simulation. ]

voice • un: eggsy

[tailorable]

[ ok this is officially the cutest thing to ever happen to him. ]

Kara with the cuddling, yeah? [ cheeky cheeky. ] Impossible to forget.

[mayarah]

We had to stay warm!

[ cuddling!! that makes it sound. far more intimate than it had been!! not that it hadn't been kind of cuddling, but there'd been a reason. and besides. ] You started it.

[tailorable]

[ utterly unrepentent. ]

Got us out of the blizzard and into outer fucking space, didn't it?

[mayarah]

I don't think that was all you.

[ but yeah. anyway!! ] So you're okay?

[tailorable]

No bumps or scrapes. [ and he sounds cheery, too. ] You?

[mayarah]

I'm good.

[ aside from the loss of yet another home, but. they're all suffering, aren't they? if he can sound cheerful, so can she. and so she does. ] I really like all the food they've got.

[tailorable]

[ he laughs. going for the food, huh? a gal after his own heart. ]

Just don't ask for the house special, yeah? Very Alien.

[mayarah]

Like the movie?

[tailorable]

Smaller, but pretty much.

[ YIKES ]

[mayarah]

Oh, wow.

[tailorable]

Better me than you, I guess. [ a beat. ] Is this your first space rodeo?

private.

[mayarah]

[ oh.

oh no.

this is the point where she has to lie, or come out with the truth and she doesn't really know eggsy, does she? but she feels like she does because she knew him and he was a good person in the simulation and probably he's a good person and

and kara is a terrible liar to begin with. ]

No. But you can't tell anyone!

private.

[tailorable]

Shut up! [ said in an excited manner. ] Are you a spaceman — spacewoman?

[ he already learned that bellamy lived on a space station, so this is easily acceptable (though no less thrilling). ]

private.

[mayarah]

I — kind of?

I'm an alien. I mean. Not from Earth. I'm from a planet called Krypton.

private. voice > video.

[tailorable]

[ Look, Eggsy got C's from primary school on before dropping out, but he ain't ever heard of Krypton. ]

Holy shit. [ He switches to video, hoping to get a better look at her. ] But you look like a cute earth girl, yeah? What makes Krypton different?

forever private.

[mayarah]

[ kara smiles a little, dropping her gaze at "cute". she does look human, doesn't she? ]

Krypton had a red sun. On any planet with a yellow one, I have — superpowers, I guess.

[tailorable]

That is sick! What kind of superpowers?

[ he grins broadly. ]

Can I see?

[mayarah]

Uh. [ kara looks a little — bashful, for a moment. she doesn't like bragging and this feels a little like that. ] A lot. Like, I can fly? Which is pretty great.

I can show you, if you want, yeah.

[tailorable]

[ he thinks of the rush that came with diving from the kingsman jet. flying. what a brilliant power. ]

Can't say no to that, can I? Is now good for you?

[mayarah]

Now works!

[ kara loves flying. ] But I don't know where?

[tailorable]

[ oh. right. spaceship. ]

Raincheck, then?

[mayarah]

Yeah. On the planet sometime?

[ which. is actually a good idea because there's no yellow sun on the spaceship, so this wouldn't be all that impressive a show. ]

[tailorable]

Absolutely.

[mayarah]

Okay! Great!

[ also: ] I'm glad you're real.
