[It's video, but not aimed at himself. He's sitting somewhere near the edge of a busy thoroughfare and filming passers-by: humans, almost-humans, aliens. A little kid waves at him and his fingers enter the frame briefly as he waves back. His voice is heard over the background noise; he sounds starstruck, almost exhilarated.]

It's amazing here.

I kind of thought New York would look like this. With less space and aliens, anyway.

[takeyouapart]

Oh! I've been to New York. It doesn't look a lot like this. It's still very impressive, though.

[worstsongever]

Really? There go all my hopes and dreams about New York, I guess. Did that little kid just wave because you were filming?

[takeyouapart]

I smiled? But it might have been the filming. I couldn't tell you why he waved, really.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

You must be new. Welcome to the Station! You look like the type of guy that likes to have fun.

[takeyouapart]

[wat.]

Si -

[No, wait, you went overboard, he knows how this works. Sigh.]

I'm just passing through.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

You should try this candy. It will make you see rainbows in the stars and you'll be able to fly. For short distances. For, oh, let's say thirty seconds at a time, unless you want to burst a blood vessel.

[takeyouapart]

[Sirius you are the creepiest drug dealer.]

Er. No thanks. I'm quite fond of walking.

[inhistorybooks]

Not exactly like this, but I've definitely been to planets that've got one heck of a diverse range of people runnin' around on it.

This place seems to be a little far ahead of where I'm from, though. I've never seen most of this stuff before.

[takeyouapart]

I never knew there were people who would look so different. [While not also being magical creatures, anyway.] I suppose for some reason the Barge only takes people who look mostly human.

[inhistorybooks]

Maybe because we can fit in better in mosta the ports we go to.

[strangehstorian]

That's how I feel about the Barge sometimes. This is a little overwhelming.

[takeyouapart]

You don't like it here, Chromie?

[strangehstorian]

It's alright. I can never really relax in ports. Don't worry about me, though.

private; video; Haha, no worries! Thanks for doing so. :]

[victimofnoone]

You're amazing.

[She smiles, both amused and endeared by the display. It's weird how this place seems to be bringing out the best in both Capa and Merlin.]

Yes, I'd still really like to do dinner. I'm with Capa right now, but it should be okay. [Pause.] He knows, if I didn't tell you that. [Another pause.] So do Rex and Marco... I hope that's okay? I probably should have asked. I'm sorry. I'm really not-- I don't do this kind of thing, you know?

private; video; I think that comment was meant for someone else :|a

[takeyouapart]

It's fine, Hayley. I don't mind who you tell.

There's a sort of hub in the middle of the station with lots of lifts and things. I could...meet you there tonight, on the top level?

private; video; Whoops, auto-fill. I must have accidentally clicked in the box. SORRY ABOUT THAT. <3

[victimofnoone]

..Okay. Just, Marco might be a little upset. I'm not really sure why. I think it's just because he and I are friends and he hates you? I'm sorry if he says anything.

Perfect! Meeting you there, I mean. I'll see you tonight.

private; video; spam?

[takeyouapart]

I'll be waiting.
