06 ♦ 'Cause I'm lovin' more and more and more Lady Blue

[Bleu glances at the feed with the tiniest quirk to her lips, shaking her head. She's wearing modern clothing for once, which may be familiar to a few of those whose cabins Mason robbed. At the same time she appears totally carefree, unconcerned with anyone's reaction.]

Every time the testicles appear I'm reminded how fucking uncomfortable they are. [This is the easy laugh of a being who has been through various bodies and genders throughout her lifetime, though she definitely prefers the female sex.] It’s a relief to be a woman again. Although I was a gorgeous man, wasn't I?

Anyway, congratulations, Admiral. That was a decent shift; now keep up this level of work.

Mes chéris? Not too traumatized by the recent changes, I hope?

It was strange, but it wasn't that strange.

Très bon! I thought it was a nice change of pace.

It was definitely a change of pace.

[ She's not sure she'd say 'nice', but then her clothes learn to fit the wearer so she just had to deal with being a man in women's fashion. ]

I still don't really understand why gender is such a big deal on other planets. It all seems idiotic to me.

Gender is one of those fun little mysteries of being human.

I think you'd all be a lot happier if you just got over it. There's so much overlap that any biological differences are essentially inconsequential.

[ Nobody knows what you're talking about, Kara. ]

[Incredulous Bleu is incredulous.]

You don't get out of the laboratory much, do you?

[ She blushes. Some more. ]

I grew up around a lot of academics.

You're a virgin, aren't you?

What does that have to do with anything?

[ Of course she's a virgin, you're not supposed to have sex with anyone besides who you marry! ]

It explains everything. If you bring sex into the equation everything gets complicated. It's wonderful.

I, well, I mean... [ she does kinda want to try it, everyone seems to think it's the greatest thing ever ] we just don't do that sort of thing on Krypton. Casual dating, I mean.

"Dating"? Do you mean courting?

We do courting. But only ever with one person. Traditionally it would be someone you've been gene-matched with.

Dull. Next you'll tell me you people only use sex for having children.

Well... mostly? I wouldn't really know about the other stuff. [ They do not advertise the sex for pleasure, no. ]

Oh bullshit. Sex is for passion. Don't you have some lesbians or inverts in your society?

Inverts? [ Yes, they do have lesbians! She has never questioned it. Do they have sex? Who knows. ]

Men with men. [Pish tosh, of course they do. Just ask and she shall explain.]

Oh. Well, yeah, we have those.

Then it just sounds like you have arranged marriages, and how often do those work out?

Just about always.

[ Hey, at least they do arranged marriages with super science. It's like Match.com gone wild. ]

Do you know how many arranged marriages I've been in? Guess how many husbands I still have.

I liked it! Tits are a pain in the arse though, aren't they?

[Bleu lifts up her t-shirt.] Are they?

Not those.

Just when they're attached to me, I think. Too bouncy.

I feel similarly about penises.

We'll just stick to what we've got then, eh?

That is our area of expertise.

I wasn't aware gender-switching was already on your register of official powers, Mademoiselle. [Beat.] Then again, I must admit, I'm not really that surprised.

[If he sounds mildly off, it isn't because the flood itself is what "traumatized" him. It's more some of the things that happened during it.]

Desperate times call for desperate measures, isn't that how the saying goes?

You sound surprised.

You consider having to take on another form than your... potentially preferred gender, a desperate time? [At least that can distract him with arch amusement.]

Oh I get less and less surprised by the day, around here. It's just a time like this I'm reminded, I don't truly know all that much about your history before this place.

Did you? Keep in mind that this wasn't my first time.

Maybe you'll find out sometime.

[What, you're going to make him actually think about this? He manages not to cringe.] Well. It wasn't desperate for me, at the time, since from my perspective nothing had actually changed. I -- she found the knowledge she was allegedly supposed to be usually a man nothing more than passably amusing.

Maybe so? I wonder what circumstances I'd need to arrange to get to be so lucky.

Oh no, not at all. She was quite the opposite of desperate, wasn't she? I suppose a few things always carry over.

Perhaps you could start with dinner.

An intrinsic element of character. Perhaps. [He supposes he's relieved to know that a coin flip on sex and gender wouldn't be the only thing between him and the life he's had.] Same drives, same goals...there were places she had to work even harder at certain things, than I have. But, the more things change... [He leaves the end of that saying left unsaid.]

If I had the resources or opportunity to so provide, I would be more than happy to. But, alas. Who knows. Maybe we'll get luckier with the next port.
