[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!

[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.]

[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]

[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.

[smileslie]

While I can't say I've never stroked someone's ego to get what I want, I will say that I'm very certain that it's not only nice but quite true in this case.

[she's not going to call her out directly, but if she can get Kara even more hot and bothered...well, hopefully they'll both get something out of it]

[iisupergirlii]

[ what does she saaaaaaaaaay? Kara paces while AstraD watches her with a knowing little grin on her face. ]

Thank you!

[ oh criminy, she should say more than that, right? like what? "thanks for the sex! ps: this is Kara!" she flops down on hers an Thea's couch and groans up at the ceiling. this is the worst! ]
