[OPEN] a shade of an angel born
Who: badcoverband & you!
When: OOC: 8/23
Where: Outside Niteo, OR inside the CERES game center, OR the Entertainment District shrine, OR your own choice!
What: Kara's return after death and a canon update has her confused more than ever. But she's keeping busy...
Rating/Warning: None for now.
[Kara has to be honest with herself. Sitting through the presentation a second time upon her return fromcanon update brief disappearance of three days, she's had enough of the disorientation she experiences now. Her mind's filled with colors and galaxies and star patterns, and she'd returned to find herself under deep suspicion...and now she's back here again? And now there's a strange glow about her, almost undetectable but undeniably there.
Well, at least she won't find herself under threat of airlock...well, hopefully. Even if she did, wouldn't she just come back? Something...some kind of weird emptiness inside her is different, like she can't reach a part of herself that would make her feel normal again. (Whatever the hell "normal" is.)
There are only a few ways of handling this situation.]

scene i.
[Kara takes a trip to the CERES marketplace, armed with her pay card and a picture in her head she needs to get out before she loses it. Some picture that makes her feel closer to her goal, to the destination she'd been trying to reach before she was plucked out again and reshuffled into the mix. It's Earth, actual Earth, the one she's stood on before -- she's sure of it, and she's got to get that star system from her mind to reality.
So she buys twelve cans of paint, sixteen different brushes, a small table, and jars for paint water, and heads to the Entertainment District. She picks one of the blank walls of her very own workplace, Niteo, and begins. Her manager might say something, but since when has that ever stopped Kara Thrace?]
Hey. Isn't that vandalizing?
[She's into her painting but not enough to ignore the voice behind her. She rolls her eyes. Here we go, some kind of BS she doesn't have the energy to deal with. Can't they see she's busy?]
--
scene ii.
[Kara's tired of obsessively thinking about it so she takes a break from painting, covered in various colors, and decides a game of pool and a beer is exactly what she needs. So she heads not to Niteo, but for the CERES game center.
Three beers and the same amount of pool matches later, she has more than the recommended amount of alcohol (but, strangely, she can hold it better than before). When she perceives someone as starting Some Shit™ a.k.a. someone talking about her game, she turns around and decks them right in the face*. (*Or! you can choose for her to break the pool stick over your head! Choose your own adventure~)]
---
scene iii.
[She finds herself wandering on one of her breaks at Niteo she intentionally takes an extra twenty minutes for, when she discovers the little shrine. She enters, feeling oddly out of place, but pulls out the two figures she has, little ones of Aphrodite and Artemis and kneels. She stares and wonders if they're the ones who guided her. Candles flicker over her and she sighs, feeling lost more than ever.
It figures that when she finally knows where Earth is, almost everything in the universe is working against the Fleet and her.]
Lords of Kobol...I don't even know if I should pray to them anymore...

Technically I'm still a general, but in practice I'm mostly retired. It's just easier to keep my existing clearance so I can fly my wife to state functions.
Vipers single seaters?
no subject
(including ones with alien technology she figured out on her own...but she won't brag about that one this time). Give me anything and I can probably fly it, but I'd much rather just be on my own in the cockpit, doing what I gotta do in my Viper.[She snorts.]
Yeah, I know the feeling of keeping existing clearance. [she points at herself] Temper.
General, huh? That's a pretty big deal. I made it to Captain myself. What do you two fly to what sounds like really boring stuff?
no subject
A freighter called the Millenium Falcon. She doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts. So at least getting to those incredibly boring events is fun. And I get to spend time with Leia before I have to go look pretty in a dress uniform and not insult any ambassadors.
[That last part is hard]
Not sure what they expect from someone who made general based on no one else being crazy enough to take on the job.
no subject
Ha! Easier said than done if you're like me with insults. It just slips out, I don't ask for it to happen...
[Oh how she can relate to being crazy enough to take on jobs. Welcome to Kara 101.]
Hey, at least it lets you spend more time with your wife - Leia, you said? - than you probably would otherwise, right? Do they at least have booze at the boring events? [Asking the important, hard-hitting questions, Kara.]
Leia's a gorgeous name. I bet she's a gorgeous gal.
no subject
[Han shrugs]
Some of those politicians just need insulting.
[Half the time Leia even agrees with him]
Leia's gorgeous. That's almost as useful as the booze for getting through those things. SHe's... she's amazing at the politics, but she's the person I'd want at my back in a fight too.
no subject
[She pulls a face because ugh, politicians. But this Leia sounds like someone Kara would get along with.]
Well, glad I don't have to go to that boring crap, but it's good you got her. So she's a badass is what you're sayin'.
