[There's the sound of a thunderstorm overhead and rain plopping down on the ground. For someone who hasn't been out in the rain for many years, this is a Big Deal.]

Is it safe to be outside?

Ok. I'm right outside the Flop.

[Joins Chell, with her flight suit zipped up to keep most of the rain off of her. She's grinning like a mad woman. Preparing to make a dash for it.]

Ready? Hell, that's a lotta rain.

[Chell looks much the same in her Aperture Science orange jumpsuit. As much as she hates having the logo on her back, it's a practical piece of clothing. She also has her long fall boots on -- white boots with odd springs curving down under her heel. But she walks in them easily.]

Yes. I've been jumping in puddles.

[The boots look interesting. She'll have to ask about those later.]

Jumping in puddles? Haven't done that since I was a kid. Let's go find this guy. And shall we make it you gotta jump in every puddle on the way?

It doesn't have to be every one. That would slow us down.

[She sees one up ahead and leaps into it.]

But some, yeah.

[Starbuck allows herself to act like a little kid again, jumping into puddles while they race to the coordinates. When they finally get there, she's out of breath and laughing. Her knee is twinging, but it's obvious she's in far better shape than last week.]

[Chell is finding that she's having fun doing this, and that it's somehow better having someone with which to share it. This is new territory for her, but she's not worried about it.

Out of breath too, she smiles a little at Kara and actually waves at Daniel. That's a thing people do, right? Wave when they see someone they know?]

[ooc: think we can turn it over to Daniel, then go Kara > Chell > Daniel? Sound good?]

[He waves too, striding along halfway under the overhanging lee of the buildings, so that the runoff drips on his hair and face.]

Hi there!

[Starbuck's grinning up a storm. She waves to Daniel as well, then shakes some of the rain from her hair.]

Goat-man! Nice to see you. Sorry, I would have come out to have some but my knee was still pretty banged up at the time.

[Chell pushes her wet bangs off her cheeks and behind her ears. For the moment she's content to just watch how the two interact and try to pick up the proper social conventions that way.]

[He makes a face of confused amusement before he realizes what she's referring to, then laughs.]

Don't worry about it. There will always be more stew. I think it's a universal constant.

[He strides over - tiny in person, barely five feet - and offers his hand.]

It's Daniel, by the way, but I guess Goat-man is fine if you're really attached to it.

[Kara shakes it with a firm grip and a ready smile.]

Kara. But I also go by the name Starbuck.

[She looks over at Chell, then gives her an encouraging look to introduce herself.]

[She feels a little put on the spot, but she says,]

I had the stew.

[Meaning she and Daniel had already met, though it had been even before that, back on the ship.]

It's good to see you again.

[He smiles fondly and brushes a bit of wet hair out of her eyes.]

Having fun?

[Kara notices said action and her smile deepens into a sly grin.]

She was just showing me the proper jumping technique. Have yet to see you in action, though.

Yeah, you should show us.

[She glances around.]

I want to jump off someplace high. It'll make a bigger splash.
