[OPEN MINGLE: SEPT 8-16]

[So what are you up to as we pass out of the first hectic week of September and into the second? Calm strolls with alien elephants or fast swims with alien sealife? Flashing your sunglasses at crime scenes? Dreaming and building dreams? Waking and building...buildings? There's always a lot to do here, whether it's formal missions or just shenanigans with friends.

Zenning out is fine too!]

I suppose there's the concern of how one seeks medical assistance here. Specifically for special needs.

My sister Ada is a full-conversion cyborg. Meaning she's all metal and wires and synthetic skin and the like. If she gets damaged, I'm unsure of who to ask for help here. She says not to worry but I have to. We're family.

[ she tries to be a bit more lighthearted, adding, ] It's part of being the little sister after all! It says on my resume and everything, 'fuss over Ada until she rolls her eyes.'

[ Her expression twists in sympathy. ]

Yeah, my sister's like that too. She's good at her job and she wouldn't shut me out, but I still worry.

sorry about the sudden use of courier new there. i thought i fixed that!

Sisters. [ she says it with a lot of fondness of course. eve knows all the things ada does. ]

Is she… here with you too? Your sister?

no worries, I forgot to italicise

[personal profile] highflights 2016-09-22 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[ Kara smiles though, it's hard not to, thinking of Alex. ]

I wouldn't want her to. She's needed at home.

I'm sorry to hear that. [ she really is but, at the same time, she's happy to hear that kara's sister can still do whatever she needs to do back home.

it must be very important to stay there, like ada's work. though… didn't stop them from being here. ] I take it that you didn't volunteer as well? I heard people willingly came here but I haven't come across many of them yet.

No, I didn't. We're clearly needed here, though.

That's certainly true, especially after reading some of the things that the base didn't have prior to the others' arrival.

It's just… [ there's a little pause on her end, as if trying to find a way to phrase her words. ] I wish I knew how to be more of help to the others here. Ada can be of great help to everyone with her strength and the items she brought with her.

[ and there's not much she can do in comparison. ]

[ She knows the feeling. Supergirl is helpful now and then but Kara's only been doing heavy lifting and exploring. Alex is the expert in xenobiology. ]

What do you do at home, Eve?

Not much.

I mean-! I was a graphic designer. Made advertisements and infographics for businesses and such. [ all belonging either to her family or her husband but no need to mention that. she already feels bad. ] Not exactly in high demand when we need inventions and classifications and the like.

Useful for maps. And I'm guessing you could write a way better survival guide than URSULA.

Something like cartography then? [ it had never occurred to her that she could do that with her skills. but, at the same time, she did enjoy the maps and the charts that were included in the few fantasy novels she was allowed to read.

the level of detail that was put into them had always fascinated her. and she did examine and study the designs whenever she could. ] That… That could be of use to us here. Especially for the locations we're still exploring.

And maybe a redesign of the guide is needed.

[ while she'll do whatever she could to not be rude towards ursula, in any shape or form, she has to admit there's a lot of room for improvement with what they had.

[ Kara smiles brightly at her, following her train of thought. ]

Sounds like a project to me.

It does, doesn't it? [ eve was still beside herself, in disbelief a little bit because…

wow. she never thought she could be of help like this. she who had seen the world mostly through pictures and holograms and the screen. ] I guess that means I'll need to explore the areas then! The information we have at hand is good and all but there's nothing like firsthand experience to really give someone an idea of something.

[ or, in this case, somewhere. ] I know I've been bothering you so much as it is, thank you so much for putting up with me, but… if you're interested… would you like to explore with me when I go out? Or have a suggestion of where to start?

[ Kara's smile widens. ]

Actually, hold on...

[ She fishes out a piece of paper, a crude map visible on it. There's odd marks and several places where it seems like lines have been erased and redrawn. At the bottom, AMITY ISLAND is written in block letters. ]

My cousin and I found an island recently. It's big, and unmapped. I'd love your help.

[ eve tilts her head in curiosity, wondering what she'll fish pull out.

and then she sees what it is and admittedly she has no words at first… somewhere completely unknown? she had been thinking of maybe the island with the birddogs or maybe even the base to really cover the place but this is- this is something else entirely.

while she looks a little afraid by the idea of traveling somewhere unknown, the starriness in her eyes at the possibility of it all is undeniable. ]

I would love to help you both! I- I promise to do my best when I'm with you two. [ eve can feel ada sigh but there's no real resistance from her. she knows how much this means to eve now so she'll just have to see where this goes. ] When are you two planning to venture there?
highflights: (061)

[personal profile] highflights 2016-09-27 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, uhm. ]

[ She hadn't planned that far ahead. ]

Soon, probably. We might need to be there a few days, is that okay with you?

[personal profile] intranslatability 2016-09-27 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
A few days?

[ there's a significant pause on her end. it looks like she's thinking of the logistics or the idea of it with how she covers her mouth and her brow furrows in concentration.

the reality is that she's sussing out her sister's feelings on the matter since they can't communicate with one another privately.

for her part, ada is apprehensive about the idea of eve exploring some island for days on end if she can't defend her but- she can feel eve's desperation to be of use and some inklings of restlessness so… alright.

she gives way to acceptance and eve jumps on that quickly as she can. ]

I-I'll be fine with that! That works perfectly for me, even. Is there anything I should bring or look out for while we're there?
