[astrad] truest definition of icebreaker ever

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara absolutely does not know about this, but her daemon is taking Kara-meeting-new-people matters into her own tentacled little hands by way of video advertisement.]

SPIRIT ANIMAL
Preferred Alias: Supergirl! Except when she's not Supergirl!
Spirit Animal: a "golden" "retriever" species: dog

5 WAYS I'M LIKE MY SPIRIT ANIMAL

1. She has yellow fur on her head!
2. She is a good strong friend!
3. She has a beautiful smile and lots of teeth!
4. She is very loyal [AstraD pronounces this as low-yal and gives a shrug like she doesn't know what that means but it sounds good!]
5. She can do lots of tricks! She can fly just like Earth dogs can! That's neat!

If Earth dogs can fly, I don't know why mine hasn't yet.
But I like your spirit animal choice. Me and my eight dogs approve.

[iisupergirlii]

[the little green alien feverishly mentally types, having recently spent too much time researching internet and out of date pop culture...]

Focus point: yet.

I have intensely studied the entire collective works of Air Bud
and have expanded my knowledge base to include the obvious fact that dogs fly!

Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing! That's a lot of dogs.

[hasitsthorns]

Ah, yes. Air Bud. A classic. Truly an accurate depiction of dogkind.

[ Sarcasm doesn't translate well over text, does it? ]

It is!
But between me and my two boyfriends we manage to keep them in line.

[iisupergirlii]

It was so educational! Basketball is the sport of the future.

How do you have so many boyfriends? Supergirl needs ten. Ooh - and ten girlfriends! That would be a good start, I think!!

[hasitsthorns]

[ Unsure if meant as... girlfriend girlfriends or- Hm. Something to consider, at least. ]

I've always been more a fan of soccer myself.

I don't have enough, in my opinion! I'd love to have more. Or a girlfriend too. That'd be nice.

[iisupergirlii]

But HOW TO GET THEM??

[what Rose doesn't see just after the last message sends is the sudden struggle the Lumir faces as Kara realizes what it's doing. And then backreads this whole conversation. And then turns beet red. How does she apologize for this? Oh gosh.]

Holy Rao, I am so sorry. I didn't post all this. Oh gosh,
I don't need... that. Um.

Hi? It's nice to meet you?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Rose could actually try to answer that, but it seems to vary from person to person so... ]

Oh!
Daemon took the wheel, huh? I kind of figured, but... It was cute.

Hello!
My name's Rose. Nice to meet you too.

[shadowblends]

[Another person pointing this out, but:]

earth dogs can't fly.
or if they can, they're sure doing a great job of avoiding it.

[iisupergirlii]

YOU can't fly.

[Astrad does not know if you can actually fly or not. Quit harshing her pop culture high. She attaches a picture with her next message. She's glaring at the camera, her chin resting on her hands. Behind her is a blur of blue and red - Kara sitting with her back to the little Lumir and reading in hers and Thea's apartment.]

You should watch the documentary "Air Bud."

[shadowblends]

uhm
no, i cannot.
which is unfortunate, but it's not the mutation i was graced with.

[Kurt can see from the image that Kara isn't the one speaking, taking into account she's sitting over there, concentrating on a book of some sort. He adjusts the camera, shuts his eyes and sticks his tongue out before snapping a picture that he sends back to the daemon.]

and what's this documentary about?

[iisupergirlii]

That is rude! I want to do it too.

[sure enough, Kurt receives another picture, this time with the alien sticking out a green tongue, her black eyes bright and happy. in this one, Kara is just starting to turn around, an alarmed look on her face.]

And I thought her messaging ONE person was bad enough!
Geez, I'm sorry. Thanks for humoring her. It's a cute picture. :)

[shadowblends]

[He's clearly amused by the fact Kara's shocked at her daemon's antics, but he doesn't want to embarrass her anymore than she might already be.]

it's no problem!
seems like your daemon is rather feisty. [oh, but she--]
thank you. (*´∀`*) sometimes, i guess i'm photogenic.

[iisupergirlii]

She's... certainly something. She's as sneaky as real Lumirs are, haha.

[servomotor]

DOES SHE ALSO HAVE NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COUSINS?

[iisupergirlii]

[Astrad giggles at Tony's question, giving herself away, and Kara bolts up, eyeing the screen projecting from Astrad's head.]

Oh, he's funny!

[she rolls her eyes and signals for Astrad to tell him yes in... whatever funny little way she wants to.]

Yes! Her family is very strange. There's hundreds of them and they all look the same just like golden retrievers. I've seen them!

[servomotor]

[He is PERfectly funny thanks.]

HOW DO YOU TELL EACH OTHER APART? IS IT A PUNISHABLE CRIME TO SHOW UP SOMEWHERE IN THE SAME OUTFIT AS SOMEONE ELSE?

[iisupergirlii]

Oh yes! That is considered treason!

[AstraD giggles some more and Kara reads over her response, rolling her eyes. She leans down and whispers into her daemon's ear what to say next.]

WHY DO YOU TYPE SO BIG?

[sick burn, Kara.]

[servomotor]

THAT'S VERY SCARY. WHAT HAS YOUR SOCIETY COME TO.

[You're so funny, Kara. Don't change.]

EASIER TO READ. I ENJOY CLARITY AND EFFICIENCY. AND BEING ENORMOUS.

WHY DO YOU TYPE SO DECEPTIVELY REGULAR?

[iisupergirlii]

It's full of... monsters! Evil, clone-eating monsters!!!!!!!!

[ oh... oh-kay, AstraD, maybe it should be Kara's turn at the wheel now. ]

Okay, that's not entirely true. Or, well, not a bit true.

[smileslie]

[well...even considering the not small possibility some of those are lies, Mandy can't resist the bait]

While I am very curious to hear about flying dogs, I think I might be a little more curious to hear about some of her other tricks.

[iisupergirlii]

[surprisingly politely, AstraD doesn't jack the conversation with Mandy, instead running over to Kara and tapping her impatiently on the arm with two tentacles. She gestures above her at the screen and Kara's eyes widen. She closes her book with a snap and sits up a little straighter. Oh Rao, it's Mandy. Hot Mandy. From the party.]

Yeah, I'm... not sure what AstraD was getting at there.
I mean, I can cook a turkey with my eyes, which is a pretty cool party trick for Thanksgiving, I guess.

[that's lame. that's so lame! that's lame to admit to and not attractive at all. way to go, Kara.]

[smileslie]

[oh jesus, even in text she's adorable. Mandy's smirking to herself, and Gildad is smiling like only a mischevious cat can as Mandy types out her response]

That is extremely impressive, and it would certainly be useful if the power goes out or something of the like. I'm sure you have many more interesting talents. From everything I've observed, you seem like a very clever woman, I'm sure you could do just about anything you put your mind to. Or other things.

[it might be laying it on a little heavy, but she really wants to build this sweet thing's confidence up. Maybe not for the same reasons she wants to do it for Arthur, but the tactics transfer well enough]

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara's eyes grow wide at the message. observed? Ha... ha... she can't know she's talking to Kara right now. oh Rao, Kara's not ready for that post-orgy-party conversation.]

Observed? I don't think we've met.

(ooc: feel 100% free to call her out on her bullshit. oh Kara.)

[smileslie]

Oh, well, I must have you mistaken with another very adorable, brilliant woman I met at a party not that long ago.

[flattery has gotten her so many places, and she intends to keep it that way]

[iisupergirlii]

[ Kara drags her hand down her face. oh, goodness. ]

Must have! That's very nice of you to say, though.
