JANUARY MINGLE | OPEN

[oneandmikleonly]

[It's a new year! Well, by the fragile construct of calendar time we're creating on this planet, anyway.

Here's a an open mingle for all your January needs! Are you trying to stalk our new alien stalkers back, or reach out to them, or fight them? Building? Exploring the biomes, for fun and/or to uncover more about our alien friends? Researching? Hugging URSULA? Raising Birdogs or getting involved with other wildlife? Making or breaking resolutions? OTHER? Whatever it is you're doing, you can put it here.

Don't forget to check the OOC plotting post to see what's going on and get involved with missions!]

Well, it's hard not be optimistic with you around.

[and, well, they HAVE found a lot of answers, these past few months, which is heartening.]

[imsorey]

I bring out the optimism in people. It's part of my charm!

[nudging Mikleo to make sure he agrees]

But we'll always be further along than we were before. As long as it doesn't take long to explore an entire planet we'll be fine.

[oneandmikleonly]

Isn't that kind of a high standard for fine...?

[it's not quite a verbal agreement, but he does turn his head a little to brush his lips over Sorey's cheek; yes, he's charmed.]

[imsorey]

[reaching for Mikleo's hand and lacing their fingers together]

Maybe it's a little high. But I think we can do it, or at least search until we find the right answers.

[oneandmikleonly]

Search the entire planet, huh?

...I guess it's not all that different from what we thought we could do, when we first came here.

[imsorey]

See? And the world is already a little smaller than it was when we first started. It's doable.

[oneandmikleonly]

Sounds about right.

[squeezes his hand, warm and solid and assured.]

[oneandmikleonly]

It's not doable on no food, though. Have you had dinner yet, or have you been cooped up in here since you got back?

[imsorey]

I ate something earlier!

[that was breakfast]

I may have gotten a little caught up in my findings though. I wouldn't say no to a snack.

[oneandmikleonly]

And that's my cue, isn't it?

[puts both hands on his shoulders decisively]

--you've got to eat something more solid before you get any ice cream, though. C'mon, breaktime.

[imsorey]

--Ice cream is a snack though!

[he does let himself be steered out of the labs with only mild complaining]
