2nd Brain Wave

[littlewhitelies]

"Hello everyone!"

[Wow, look at who has the brightest smile on today. M'gann even gives the video screen a cheerful wave as well.]

"So, I had a teammate- A really…Close teammate? Arrive a few weeks ago."

[Translation; 'I have a boyfriend and still don't know how to tell other people about it outside of blatant displays of affection and cuddling.']

"And I was just thinking, I should show him around the city. And I thought I could ask other people about places they've been to that they really like. And…Maybe people could talk about what they like or think makes for a good date? An Earth date, I mean!"

[Please don't mind the scowling boy behind her. Who seems to be mumbling something to the effect of,] "Why can't we just watch TV?"

((OOC: Dual post, go! Responses will be coming from Conner and M'gann for this post!))

Earth dates mean ice cream and movies and kissing in cars.

And stuff like that. [Kara can still mostly just parrot back what she's learned from TV, a few confusing dates with Barbara aside. But judging from her face, she's happy to do it.]

[ichoosefight]

Don't listen to Supergirl, you can do whatever you want and call it a date. You can sit around and watch TV and it can still be a date.

A good Earth date, huh? [Her smile might be just a little bit teasing here. (Oh my gods this is actually adorable- and Piper really never uses that word.) Scowling boy doesn't intimidate her much, though she thinks she'll be careful not to get on his bad side, either.]

You could just keep it simple. Catch a meteor shower or falling stars, maybe have a picnic in your favorite spot, and make some of the foods you know he likes. Those leaf piles would make a great dessert.

"If we don't have a car...Do you think we could still manage? I-It's just that I've seen what you're talking about on TV; people get in a car and drive up to a really scenic view and then..."

[And then, TV hadn't been entirely specific on what happened next. She'd guess something to do with kissing, though.]

"I think I can get the ice cream easily enough, though."

[littlewhitelies]

"Yeah, it's just...We sort of watch a lot of TV already."

[Seriously, don't listen to Conner. 'Just watch TV' is NOT an acceptable answer. This is an Earth date. It must be SPECIAL.]

"So I wanted to try something different...But still nice, too!"

Video;

[littlewhitelies]

"Yeah; a special Earth date too, if I can manage it."

[You see this face, Piper? This is a face of rapt attention and careful study; she is listening to every single one of those words and carefully filing them away.]

"And those all sound great! I-I guess you'd sort of know, right...? Being the goddess- being related to someone who knows a lot about love."

[If she can recall the conversation, and her full of holes Earth mythology lessons correctly.]

[literalnames]

We can literally do all those things in this apartment.

[literalnames]

Thank you.

[Piper sees it, and she takes a second to hope the advice works out for M'gann. She usually doesn't volunteer it so much as people at camp come to HER, but M'gann is cool and she wants to help. She can at least try, right?]

Well, more like personal experience in this case. If you want the truth I don't think I take after my mother like most of my siblings did, but... that seemed to work out pretty well for me and my boyfriend back home.

[littlewhitelies]

"Really? Because you seem-"

[Nice, friendly, knowledgeable, like an Aphrodite kid; take your pick. M'gann isn't sure how to express any of that, though, and besides...She just revealed something very interesting indeed.]

"Wait, you have a boyfriend? You have a boyfriend too?"

[She looks sad for a moment that he isn't there; that's a shame. But even so, it makes her face light up.]

"That's great! And...It sounds like it would work out well. Given your advice, and all."

[littlewhitelies]

"Conner!"

[Amazing how much indignation she can put into that one word.]

"That's not the point! We're supposed to go out and do something different. The view from the apartment is nice, but..."

[But tangents. M'gann shakes her head.]

"...Point being, we should try something special."

[ichoosefight]

Hey, if you want to integrate the two you should totally just make out while watching TV.

[ She's helping! ]

[littlewhitelies]

[How conflicted can M'gann look over this suggestion?

Might as well try putting it to the test.

...

...The answer, apparently is VERY. And to such a degree that she can't even manage words.]

[She is quietly grateful for the subject change. Not like she thought M'gann was going to say something bad, just- this is easier to talk about.

And "too". M'gann's got a special someone and that is touching.]

Yeah, Jason, Jason Grace. It's a long story, but maybe I'll get to introduce you to him sometime.

[She hopes at least. Half hopes. Still not sure that the quest can afford it... and then she remembers that she's been gone for about two months now. Did they manage without her?]

I'll tell you about him sometime. Meanwhile, just make sure that whatever you pick it's something your boyfriend will be okay with. If he's not a fan of crowds you'll want to find something a little more private.

[Since those activities she suggested can sometimes draw crowds of young couples with the same idea.]

[little_girl_lost]

Well, you could fly there instead. And bring a blanket, and... [Her eyes unfocus a little, half lost in the daydream] and have a picnic under the stars and then you could...

...well, then you could do the 'and then.'

[staystraught]

Remember that one night on the town we had? Just the two of us?

[Sliding a little more suggestion into that sentence than he really should...]

[little_girl_lost]

That's not a date!

...it sounds fun, but it's not a date.

[littlewhitelies]

"He...He might like flying? He liked it well enough in Bialya, at least."

[M'gann is certainly having her own imagine spot...Though that shorts out when she hears Kara continue.]

"The...The 'and then?'"

[Oh, the confusion on her face over that wording.]

[littlewhitelies]

"Well...No?"

[WOW does she look off balance over that question. And wracking her brain over a possible answer.]

"Are we talking about...A stake out, maybe? Or a-"

[...Or that. That recent event clicks into place surprisingly quick, evidenced by how her eyes widen.]

[staystraught]

Yeah. That night. Probably shouldn't talk about it in front of Conner, though.

[literalnames]

How discreet.

[staystraught]

I'm discreet? You're the one announcing your presence.

[literalnames]

So what would a Kryptonian date be?

[literalnames]

No. You're being very creet.

[literalnames]

[Silence for about three to five seconds.]

...Then we've been on plenty of dates.
