“that is definitely not the droid i am looking for.” the sanitation unit (which is what it seems to be, though poe could be wrong) knocks against his foot, and he moves, allowing the little guy safe passage to the other side of the room. “there you go, little buddy.” the droid does not respond. “wait. do they not speak in binary here?”

Padme had been on her way back to the guard’s office, when she heard a familiar language that stopped her in her tracks.  Walking around a corner to see someone knelt in front of a ship android.  “Sadly no... I haven’t met a droid on this ship that speaks binary.   I don’t think whoever programed them knew such a language existed.”

“ this chocolate is simply divine. ”  elijah muses after setting his cup down on the small table.  he wasn’t much for being too festive, but his love of chocolate was something he could never ignore.  “ have you ever tried adding a touch of cinnamon sprinkle to your cocoa? ”

“Never thought of that.” Diana mused as reached out and took the cinnamon from the side of the cocoa station and dashing a sprinkle across her dark chocolate drink.  “But I’m always up for trying new things.” Diana added taking a small sip before a smile formed on her lips.  “It is delicious, thank you for the suggestion.” 

@thecambriastarters​ ( marc spector & open! )

it wasn’t that marc hated the winter or anything - he was used to it enough growing up in chicago. it just wasn’t his favorite, to say the least. his feelings on the holiday’s were complicated for reasons he wouldn’t bring himself to dwell on and could push down well enough, but he just didn’t like to be cold. “wasn’t space cold enough before we went introducing fake snow to it?” he mused, hands shoving into his pockets and shoes crunching down on the faux white powder. “i think i’m going to take up residence by the fire pit, personally.”

event entry open  :  mary jane watson   (   @thecambriastarters​   ) location  :  hot chocolate stand, gardens

||           IT FEELS COLDER,      AND SOMETHING ABOUT IT       has mary jane feeling  —  happy. it doesn’t make sense, of course   —   the ship is manually regulated, which means it’s just colder on the ship because someone made it colder, but if she pretends hard enough, it’s real. it isn’t so bad. mary jane’s adjusting, here. and the winter - themed aprons are super cute.      “   good morning   !   ”      chipper thing, when she wants to be. pros of having worked some sort of customer service job for nearly her entire life.      “   what’ll it be   ?   it’s a hot chocolate stand, but i can slip some coffee inside on the DL.   ”

Padme had been a bit too excited to try this creation of hot chocolate.  They didn’t have an equivalent back home as far as she could remember.  “ What type of Hot Chocolate do you recommend.  I’ve never had this before, so I’m open to ideas. ”   Winter season was quite different depending on the planet, she couldn’t help but remember the first time Anakin told her about snow.   He described it like a child who had just seen their first hologram.  

( @thecambriastarters​ ) 🥃 DEAN WINCHESTER & ANYONE !

🥃 ( location ) the pond, the gardens, the cambria one

🥃 - he stared at the frozen over pond with some trepidation as he wondered how quickly he’d bust his ass the moment he got on that ice - and if he was too old to do it. still, this was one of the first holidays he’d had where he was in one place and he didn’t have to hunt down some pagan human-eating monster. it’s the little things. feeling someone approach, dean grinned as he held out a hand, “just a fair warning, i can and will fall on my face and if anyone laughs i’m taking you down with me!” he half-joked as he still stood there staring at the pond like it was his mortal enemy. “or maybe i can just start building snowmen? yeah, snowmen - more my speed, who’s with me?”

tali'zorah vas normandy & liara t'soni in the gardens

“Rannoch means walled garden in Khelish.” Tali pronounced the name of her people’s home world deliberately, trying to get past the translators so she didn’t end up saying walled garden twice in a row. That’d be a bit redundant. It usually worked with the translator units on the Normandy, so she hoped she didn’t sound silly here. “Our skin carried the seeds that grew into desert grass. It won’t be like that again right away, though. Maybe ever.” And right now she couldn’t reach out and touch a flower without crushing it. Her homeland was far, the Quarians who knew how far along in their resettlement of the planet. “You probably knew that already- but, I guess I’m saying… I want to find something here that will help everyone rebuild. Which I guess sort of makes this like a Pilgrimage part two. Which makes me even gladder you’re here, I was in the first place, but now it’s almost… Circular. Like a story.” There were certain ways Tali felt like she’d grown up with Liara. Not in a known her all her life sort of way, but in that they’d both fought and suffered and learned from that same awkward young adult place they’d been to the powerful assured people they were now alongside each other. Quarians didn’t have siblings by nature of the crowding on the flotilla, but if Tali had ever imagined a sister, it would be Liara. “Does that make any sense? Are you learning a lot here, in the archives?”

@lcstinthestars

Kory had never been so nervous when it came to Jason.  It often felt like as easy as breathing when she was around him. It was different now, even if she didn’t want to admit it.  She wanted to get it right.  Her mess of orange curls were contained into two puff ball buns on top of her head.  She had spent too long deciding on what to wear, wanting their first date to be a bit memorable.  She picked up a scarf and gloves in her signature purple color from the kiosk where she picked up her skates.   She sat on a bench, lacing her skates up with a flash of memories to her Titan days.  Back when Cyborg and Dick decided to teach the others like her how to skate.  She looked up with a smile as she heard someone approach.  “Jay.” She smiled happily, her eyes connecting with hers and felt her heart skip a small beat.  “I grabbed skates in your size and favorite color.” She motioned to the black set next to her.  “I got here a little early.” She teased herself.

“Super cool.” Cass sometimes wished they had some sort of meta ability, but they were also highly confident in their fighting skills at it was. Powers seemed like they could only be helpful, but she knew she wasn’t at all useless. “That would make sense. But I don’t know what for. That planet we stopped at seemed peaceful. Just spooky. So is something baf happening somewhere?”

He hadn’t felt so nervous in a while , and he knew it was because Diana was a friend. Bruce wasn’t fond of admitting his shortcomings , but he had grown up in a mansion , raised by a butler who would not let him in the kitchen often. And if there was one thing Bruce knew for a fact , it was that he did not want to anger Alfred. He’d done it before , and he was wise enough now to not be on the receiving end of that ire.

His hand had raised to knock when he heard her voice , and it didn’t surprise him as much as it should have. Diana had a way of doing that. When he stepped inside , he offered a nod before he slipped his shoes off , then glanced around the quarters she had been given. He could tell it was Diana’s just by looking around. “ So … I apologize , in advance , ” he said , walking over to her. “ This is not my strong suit. ”

@lcstinthestars​  ;  johnny  storm  &  koriand’r.

“so where you from?” johnny has a smoothie in one hand and his phone in the other, though his attention actually is on kory, because it’s hard to ignore someone who just kicked your ass so thoroughly at sparring. also, he likes her vibe. what can he say. “i mean, space, i know, but.” he waved the hand holding the phone vaguely. “space is space.” as if that meant anything. whatever, she knew what he meant. or what he was getting at. probably.

Tea was more Cass’ thing than coffee, and luckily the cafe on the observation deck had plenty. It was never going to be as good as what Alfred made, and for now they were just cupping the mug in their hands and staring down at the way the cream suffused through the dark liquid and trying to stop herself from moping about the rest of her family not being here. The woman had been in their awareness since she walked in, but it wasn’t until she spoke that Cass’ eyes flicked over. “Not bothering…” She said quietly, before offering a kind little smile. “It’s a lot to get used to.” Living on the streets unable to speak hadn’t given them the best introduction to everything society held; they could understand feeling like a fish out of water trying to learn many things at once. “It’s strong coffee, with foam. Too bitter for me.”

🪐 - leia felt as instantly awkward as she had the moment she had reached out to padme in the first place. this wasn’t on padme and leia understood that - she just… needed a comfort, needed someone to lean on for just a moment instead of being the one that’s always leaned on. it was selfish but… she felt she was allowed to indulge this once. “it’s fine, i’m sorry for waking you - i just… i need to talk some things out and i need an impartial mind. or as impartial as we can get. it’s about ben, my son and han, my husband. something else other than what happens that we talked about. is it… a bad time?”

the cold action oriented eyes of tom cruise stared down whatever lurked to the right of the movie’s cover; jason could not remember how the movie had gotten into the pile. it was, as far as he knew, a romantic comedy. “that is tom cruise,” he said nonsensically, before lapsing into silence for a few beats. “uh, yeah, it’s not really a do– actually, let’s just watch it. you’ll see. you know keith david? keith david’s fucking great.”

clark returned the hug. it broke naturally, and he stood back, taking in the sight of his comrade. “it’s a very strange situation. we’re apparently in the future, although given the jump to another universe i’m not certain it can be considered the future – it isn’t our future, at any rate.” he smiled ruefully. “semantics, i know. it doesn’t… it doesn’t seem, so far, as if anything nefarious is going on. but it’s so strange. and.” he hadn’t told bruce, not yet, and the words stuck in his throat even now, but his powers were not functioning as they usually did. he would tell diana later, he decided. “i mentioned i’d been looking through the archives, for parallels. there are some universes similar to ours. some not so much.” he shrugged. “i’m not sure what it means. or if it means anything at all.”
