I13DT: Take a Little Trip

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 1:01 pm

Altamira returned to Kevin's dorm room.

"Keeeeevin?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 2:01 pm

"Yeeeees?" Kevin responded from the central room's couch.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 2:05 pm

"I'm bored. This place is boring. Want to go out tonight?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 2:09 pm

He had already paused what he was watching, and now got up.

"Sure! Where to?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 2:58 pm

"Well, I'm torn. I was considering Gwendor, but realized that's probably not good for you. Pinthar's got great twin suns, so that might look nice, but it lacks Oxygen, and that's probably a bad thing."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:04 pm

"Yeah. Call me addict, but I needs me some good O2."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:06 pm

"THEN there's the planets who will kill humans on sight, and that's no good, either. And that's not to mention the ones that just think you're scummy or dirty or whathaveyou."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:09 pm

"Ah yes, the Steriloids really don't like us do they?" he joked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:11 pm

"You know there used to be a blockade around the solar system, right? To some, you're worse than Space-Ebola."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:13 pm

"Because we keep defeating invasions and make them look bad?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:14 pm

"I think it was the arrogance, mostly," she laughed.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:23 pm

"Considering the aliens I've met? Pot, meet kettle."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:24 pm

"And then there are the ones that want to put you in a pot," she conceded. "So, all in all, it's good you'll be with me."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:26 pm

"Agreed. That'd be terrible. They'd never cook me right."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:27 pm

"Don't worry your scruffy little head. You're safe with me."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:39 pm

"Even on Murderkill Nine of the Horribledeath System," he nodded.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:41 pm

"I don't think that's an actual place."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:47 pm

"I sure hope not."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:56 pm

"But something a little wild might be up your alley, hrm?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:59 pm

"Maybe?" he shrugged, "...not sure what qualifies as wild here."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 4:06 pm

"Not like HERE. It's so boring," she said, flopping down on the couch.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:50 pm

Appropriately, an episode of Doctor Who was paused on the TV.

"Surely you haven't seen everything fun the Earth has to offer."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:56 pm

"Humans are boring, though."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:22 pm

"Am I boring then?" he asked as he sat by her.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:24 pm

"Well, humans as a species, then. Is that better?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:43 pm

"A little. Still, we create non-boring things."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:46 pm

"Have you ever seen the crystal fountains of Regolith IV?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:52 pm

"No, but I've seen a talking raccoon and a tree with a deceptively robust three work vocabulary inside a colossal metal head. But other than that my space adventure was mostly boring as hell."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:59 pm

"I'm sorry rescuing me wasn't a barrel of laughs. I didn't exactly have a good time, either."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:01 pm

Guilt crossed his face.

"I... didn't mean it that way."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:04 pm

Altamira sighed. "I know you didn't, Kevin."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:12 pm

"Good to know," he smiled.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:13 pm

"But everyone around here is so..uptight."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:19 pm

"... how so?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:21 pm

"I don't know how to explain it. It's just...everyone seems like they're afraid of living. Afraid of the unknown."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:39 pm

"It's a self-preservation thing. The unknown is an unnecessary risk for many a squishy mortal. Laughing in the face of death isn't something everyone can bring themselves to do."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:23 pm

"The X-Men come back from the dead all the time! I've done it, like, three times myself."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:12 pm

"I didn't technically die to begin with."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:46 pm

"No, but laughing in the face of death is part of the job description."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:57 pm

"Not everyone is like us. I don't expect them to be either."
