Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

Jackson got to the gym early. He took his mission of establishing a sports team in Fandom pretty seriously, see. That involved making something of an effort, and showing up early to check out the competition (yes, he viewed the other clubs as competition, deal with it) was the least he could do.

He grabbed a copy of the club schedule for himself before he went to set up his table.

"I was afraid I would be a disappointment," Liara admitted. "My heart is not in the hard sciences. But the others seem to have that well in hand, which comes as something of a relief."
solarhippie: ([neu] Just a chick.)

"There are lines like that between different kinds of science?" Karolina asked, because... science had never been that close to her heart, to be honest. "But, it's good if you still feel you fit in. Maybe you can, I don't know, bring in a different point of view?"

Ever the optimist.
fewer_explosions: (???: science!)

"Archaeology is a far cry from physics," Liara said ruefully.

"But it's still a kind of science, right?" Karolina replied. "And I don't think it says what kind of science it's supposed to be anywhere on your club table."

Liara nodded, and rubbed at her arm. "I know," she said, smiling a little. "I am just having trouble getting used to the idea."
solarhippie: ([neu] Attentively.)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina gave her a reassuring smile. "You'll get there," she said, and of this she was sure. "Once the club gets going, if not sooner. It's not going to be a big deal for long."
fewer_explosions: (???: a softer...)

"I don't suppose I could interest you in joining the science club," Liara said, half... yes, sort of joking.
solarhippie: ([pos] Sounds like a fun idea.)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina hesitated a little, then laughed and looked wryly apologetic.

"I'm not really good with science," she said. "I mean, of any kind."
fewer_explosions: (neutral: considering you)

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's a shame," Liara said, which she did mean. "Are you interested in joining any of the clubs at all?"
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

She chewed on her lip. "Well, the Pajama Club sounds kind of neat?"

There was another one of those glances towards the Pride table, though.

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A glance which Liara fundamentally missed, not least of all because she had no idea what Pride was. "Ah," she said, glancing towards the Pajama Club instead. "So you... enjoy pajamas?"
solarhippie: ([neu] Guys it might not work.)

"It sounds fun," Karolina said, a little lamely. "It sounds, I don't know. Girly? Girly and nice."
fewer_explosions: (???: a softer...)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Liara nodded. "I am not terribly good at socializing," she admitted, "But I can see how girly and nice would be appealing." Beat. "Especially the nice part."
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Definitely," Karolina said, with a little nod of her own. "I mean, I was kind of considering, um, Pride as well but Pajama Club just sounds nice, so I'll probably go with that. I don't know if I want more than one extracurricular."

Babbling. Hi.

"You do not want to stress yourself," Liara agreed. She sounded mildly confused. "What is Pride? I have seen the stand, but I do not quite understand what kind of pride it is meant to engender."
solarhippie: ([neu] Guys it might not work.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's like..." She hesitated, choosing her words. "For different, um, orientations? Like... sexual orientations. Minorities."

And yes, it was now occurring to her that these terms might not necessarily make sense to Liara.
fewer_explosions: (neg: ...whoops)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Liara's expression was a complete blank. "...Okay."
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

Karolina's lips twisted as she tied to decide where to start. Except she found she really wasn't sure.

"Which part is it that you don't get?"
fewer_explosions: (???: science!)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"It has... something to do with sex?" Liara attempted. "I am sorry. I am not entirely sure what a sexual orientation is."
solarhippie: ([neu] Guys it might not work.)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina chewed on her lip. "Well, it's like when some people like... the opposite gender, and others ––" Don't start blushing, don't start blushing. "–– like their own...?"

Wow that was awkward.

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh," Liara said, frowning a bit. "I suppose that would be a concern for other species..."
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"... It's not for yours?"

Well, that distracted Karolina from her potential blushing, at least.
fewer_explosions: (???: curious)

[personal profile] fewer_explosions 2012-09-14 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"My species only has one sex," Liara said helpfully. "'Male' and 'female' are foreign concepts to us."
solarhippie: ([neu] Attentively.)

Re: Mingle Around the Gym [CF Fall 2012]

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-09-14 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh."

And now she was trying to figure out how that might work. Because asking would be embarrassing.

So was this random silence too, though, probably.

Thankfully, this was a conversation Liara had already had several times. "We reproduce in a way fundamentally different to you," she explained. "We use psychic imprints rather than biological material."
