[For Kitty] How do you put together the perfect date on a space station? You planet.

[st_arkintern]

Asphodel Station is bustling with activity. There are so many sights and sounds that Peter's having a hard time processing them as they come in; everywhere there appears to be something new to look at, to touch, to smell, to engage with. It's painfully hard for him to stay focused. And that, perhaps, is why he has Kitty Pryde accompanying him.

"Did you see --" Peter asks, and he starts to point at a beautiful woman with blue-green ears finned out like a hydra's -- but he stops himself before he can fully extend his finger. He can't remember if that's one of the offenses that is punishable by death, and he'd rather not risk it.

"Forget it," he says quickly. He needs to keep his hands -- and his mind -- occupied so he doesn't get into trouble. They have a mission, a mission he needs to focus on. As he walks, Peter slips his backpack off his shoulder and digs past the Spider-Man suit and bottles of water stored there to pull out a piece of looseleaf paper, folded into fourths.

He zips the bag back up, shifts it back over his shoulder, and unfolds the piece of paper. "Okay," he says, trying to concentrate on their objective instead of the many, many cool and fascinating things here that are likely to get him into Very Big Trouble.

"One," Peter reads aloud as the pair continues to walk the station. "Must be easily accessible to both Liz and I without the use of magic or abilities that neither of us have." Peter didn't want to have an escort to his first date away from the Madonna Inn.

"Two," Peter continues. "Must be unique in some way, and not something we've already seen in real life or movies, video games, or television." That might be the easiest part of his list of requirements, though some of the things here definitely kinda looked like things he had seen already in Mass Effect and Star Trek and Star Wars.

"Three," Peter pronounces. "Romantic, if possible." That's it for number three.

"Four," Peter says. "Food and beverages are a plus, though we should be sure that the foods there are digestible by humans and tasty beforehand." Always an important standard to have; the last thing he wanted was for either one of them to get sick on their date.

"Five," Peter starts, and then he stops. He looks over at Kitty, a tad embarrassed. "I didn't figure out a number five," he admits.

[log] Poor Impulse Control (Vex & Percy, backdated to March 1)

[st_ubby]

Compared to the inn, Asphodel Station was a wonderland for both shopping and technological exploration, so of course Vex and Percy were in the thick of it. But they had no idea what they were getting into when they followed the small, armed automaton into a discreet shopfront.

( Was tampering with security on that list of capital crimes they made us watch before we entered the station? )

[Log] Healing - Geralt x Kash, backdated

[st_ingofthehundred]

Prodded by Illyana, Geralt finally seeks out a healer. He finds someone who might actually be a friend.
When: after his thread with Illyana
Where: clinic


( Amazing coincidence. I feel like shit )

[GP] Check-In Day: Tol and Smols

[st_andingtall]

Caroline's see you around had turned out to be more like I won't see you if I can help it, and Sam had more or less accepted that was how it had to be for the time being. That didn't mean he wouldn't try to be around when he knew she would, just to say hi. Which meant that being around on Check-In Days was just plain smart.

Today, he happened to be reading a history of Asphodel Station, trying to understand this place that they'd found themselves connected to. So, if Caroline had come through, he actually hadn't seen her. He did see Regina when she came through to get her usual chicken Caesar salad, mostly because she stopped beside him and looked down at the book he was reading.

"That doesn't have an enchantment on it," she said, in a way he assumed was a question about its provenance. The implication there was that if it was from the library, it would have one of Illyana's enchantments on it.

"No," Sam answered her. "It's from the station. A history."

Regina frowned and crossed her arms. "How are you reading it?"

Sam shrugged. "I don't know. Psychic paper or something? It seems to be English."

Her gaze scoured the page and lit on the header which read, The Field of Flowers: Volume 1, Asphodel. "When you're done with it--"

"Yeah, I'll leave it in your office."

She nodded, walked off, and then turned back to offer, "Thank you," and continued on her way.

Sam shrugged. If she wanted to tangle with Illyana over the proper procedures for new books, he wasn't going to get in the middle of it. He was just an acquisition agent, nothing more. And today he wasn't even that. He was just a guy reading a book, waiting to see if anyone new showed up today.
