Mun, I'm not sure that-- It really doesn't look like-- It's going to be so weird to explain this username, and--

...

Oh my gosh! How did I not notice before? Hello, Megan! It actually kind of does look like a tiny moustache from behind!

You have been hanging around Wally way too much.

You'd think Wally would have noticed it first!

You do realize that now that you pointed that out, it's all I'll ever be able to see, right?

What if it's camouflaged?!

Then I have to deal with the idea that somewhere, just kind of lurking, there is an invisible moustache. That's not really better.

My bioship doesn't lurk! It hovers, rests, flies, and sometimes spins around in circles, but it doesn't lurk.

I think it makes a cute moustache.

[Bluhhhh there is just no arguing with that face.]

I guess. At least it's not some other body part.

[Look how happy you made that face, Artemis! Sooooo happy.]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if we flew under a ship that looked like a nose? Oh! I know! We could take a trip to Mount Rushmore and park in front of the faces!

I'll pack us a picnic. It'll be so much fun!

[Crap, she's been spending too much time around Wally too because that does sound fun.]

Yeah okay, I could do that. I mean since you're twisting my arm and all.

[Clearly Wally is just a horrible influence on everyone and without him they'd get back to serious business every day! Enough with the fun and smiles! Serious serious-faces for everyone.

Megan smiles and hugs her friend.]

Oh, phew. I thought I was going to have to knock you out and drag you with us.

[And yes, hugs are something Artemis is getting used to. Here M'gann, have an awkwardly placed backpat because you are kind of squishing her.]

You wouldn't do that, though. You'd make those sad faces until I-

Wait.

Us?

You know, that's actually pretty funny.

You... really think so? I can't believe didn't see it at first.

[Sometimes it's hard to tell with your face, Conner. Your really, really cute face. Oh no, she's blushing!]

[She's kind of cute when she's blushing, though Kon's really not sure how he managed to trigger it.]

Me either! But now that I see it, I can't ever "unsee it," you know?

Was that -- like a purposeful thing? The mustache? Like the Batcopter?

-- Do you just really like mustaches?

[Oh, Dick! Stop making her giggle]

It's a coincidence! Actually... Mars doesn't really have moustaches...

Maybe Moustaches actually look like bioships instead of the other way around!

Guess it depends on how long bioships have been around for. Because old dude and mustaches have been married since like day two, so far as Earth's concerned.

Also sketchy dudes.

Well, compared to Earth, Mars is an ancient civilization! Not that I'm saying I'm old or anything. I mean, for a Martian.

[Duh, Robin thinks your normal... ish, don't freak out!]

So moustaches have two married partners? Or all three of them got married on the same day?

[ That's... that's definitely the way to get people to think you're normal, M'gann. ]

Close enough. But they can be good friends with lumber workers too so I guess it's not an exact science.

How ancient are bioships? Old as Mars?

[She clasps her hands behind her back and smiles awkwardly. WHat is this conversation.]

Sounds pretty complicated. Heh.

Umm, well... not old-old as Mars, but pretty old and really old compared to Earth! It's still technology that we've had a while, but it's ... new-old technology. So it's old, but not... extremely old.

...

Like phones!

[ ...This is probably supposed to be helpful. And he knows she's trying. And he thanks her for that trying with a bit of a pained grimace masquerading as a smile. ]

So bioships are as ... old as phones?

[ IS WHAT HE'S GETTING OUT OF THIS?? ]

In comparison, yes!

[Explaining things is hard! OH! I know! HELLO, MEGAN!]

Here, I'll just show you. [She reaches out to put a hand on his forehead. Looking around in her friend's heads isn't allowed, but showing them stuff is fine, right?! She smiles to show it's okay and silently asks for permission]

Wh -- whoa hey -

[ He starts to protest, and he's not sure what she's going for but she's reaching for his face and some greater instinct kicks in there before he fully registers that, duh, it's M'gann, and she's not going to - Oh, he doesn't know. Rip off his mask and poke him in the eyeballs or something. ]

[ Her hand rests on his forehead, cool and calmly, and he looks up at her through furrowed eyebrows. ] Sure. Show me.

[The smile graduates to a grin as her eyes close and she shows him a brief, condensed, and cohesive timeline of Martian history to give him an idea of where bioships were actually cultivated and conceived in relativity. All in convenient image-flash format!]

The great thing about telepathic links is the shared knowledge of our history!

It's a lot easier than carrying textbooks around, but that's fun, too!

Whoa --

[ It's definitely a lot faster than reading a textbook, just a flood of information that sticks and clings to his mind as if it's been there all along. It's the most bizarre feeling, and Robin's eyes fly open a bit as she transfers the knowledge. When he responds, it's telepathically. ]

Okay, fine, so you win with the ships! But to be fair, we didn't know about you guys for a long time...

That's... hilarious.

[/all the sarcasm]

[ Just. Ridiculously amused giggling over here. Glorious, M'gann. GLORIOUS. ]
