(OOC: Since the GM wants this thread to wrap up, I’m going to fast-forward a bit.)<br/><br/>“I don’t really watch too many vids,” Sarah replied. “Mostly documentaries and the occasional movie. I do like that show<em>Oxy</em>—that’s the one about the counter-terrorist group that’s set during the oxygen riots of the 80’s. Too bad I’ll be frozen during the last series. Oh, also I like some old-timey cinema—I had a passing interest in pre-Burn Japanese culture and I saw a lot of samurai films by Kurosawa and others.<br/><br/>“I guess I’d be willing to try riding on a land-skimmer with you—just as long as its just a ride and not an actual race! I’m not one for real danger. I don’t know if there are any land-skimmers aboard<em>the Exodious,</em>but I do know that three weeks after planet-fall the automated factories will start accepting orders for non-essential goods. They’ll be quite a queue though.”<br/><br/>Sarah conversed with Richard on various topics for the next couple hours. It was mostly small-talk, though they did get back around to technical and science topics for a while. They went back inside after some time on the patio, though at times the party got distractingly loud. She was amazed at how quickly she had become comfortable around him, and how little her usual shyness hindered her when it was just the two of them alone.<br/><br/>When it was time for her to leave in order to have dinner with her family, Richard insisted on walking Sarah to the nearby transit station. They cycled through an airlock and into the monorail terminal. Sarah took off her micro-rebreather and removed her coat to fold it over her arm. “I had a really good time,” she said quietly, suddenly feeling a bit nervous. She wondered if they would kiss—embarrassingly, that would be a first for her. “The first week after planet-fall I’ll be pulling double shifts, but after that I hope we can go on another date, or just hang out...” she trailed off, unsure of what to say or do.
