[Bean Crushers]

[Twenty years ago Chekov zipped in and out of Bean Crushers a handful of times each day, constantly refueling but too antsy to sit down. His life has since slowed down dramatically. (When it first became clear that MarinaNova wasn't going to be escaped, in fact, it slowed to a crawl. A generally positive disposition and excellent coping mechanisms couldn't hold up against the realization that his family, his crewmates, his sense of purpose, and the goals that twenty-two years of planning and studying were building towards were lost. That was ages ago, though--just a memory, and not one he looks back on.) Nowadays he lingers, reading or planning lessons or looking for someone to chat with as he drinks. It's more about company and a place to be than coffee.

He's a married man whose existence revolves around his wife (whom he still loves deeply and stupidly) and his friends (who are also loved, albeit less stupidly). It makes him feel like a man twice his age--eighty-four instead of forty-two.

There are worse feelings.]

[Education Center]

[That's not to say that Chekov is wholly without a life outside of Kitty and other companions. At the lowest point in his prison existence, he threw himself wholeheartedly into teaching math and physics in an attempt to fill the gaping void that the loss of home ripped open and never really stopped. No, there isn't a huge demand for classes on physics and mathematics. Yes, Chekov still teaches them. If no one comes, he makes lesson plans; if someone does come, they get a class that caters to their level and is tailored to their specific talents and interests.

If, twenty years ago, someone had told him that teaching would inspire the same kind of enthusiasm in him that visiting new planets and charting previously unknown sections of space used to, he would have laughed (politely). Now he does it just as much for his own benefit as anyone else's.]

[Freestyle]

[But of course Chekov exists outside of the coffee shop and the education center. He still hasn't acquired much of a taste for nature, but he meanders through the parts of the parks and gardens where his friends (his friends are everyone in the dome, just so there's no confusion) tend to be.

Where there are people, there is Chekov. His world is very small now and everyone in it is profoundly important.]

[Chekov should be used to seeing a younger version of his wife walking around by now... how she grew into someone who looked the same, but didn't. It probably had been weird for a while, but now it was just another day in MarinaNova.

A notebook of her own in hand as she was working a few things for her classes as well, she gave him a smile as she spotted him in the teacher's lounge.]

Hey. Mind if I share a table?

	[When Chekov first came here, there was someone else with his face. Weird is par for the course.] Of course not, no. [He smiles back and gestures to a seat next to him. This Kitty feels like a family member. Would she be his sister-in-law?] How are your classes, Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're going well. Though, I'm curious... No one from the cheerleading squad checked in today to let me know if they're coming to tomorrow's practice. Have you noticed any mass disappearances? [She was hoping this was another glitch...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-01-20 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Mass disappearances? No. [He looks around as if a quick survey of the lounge will give him a different answer.] I haven't noticed any disappearances. Have you tried to contact them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2017-01-23 10:15 am UTC (link)
	Yeah... but... [She frowned.] Maybe it's me. Maybe it's some kind of glitch or something. [The years get a person used to that.] It's probably nothing. I'll worry more tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-01-23 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	I'll note any oddities that I notice today. The most recent glitches have been harmless, so hopefully it won't be necessary for you to worry tomorrow, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Chuck is a good mom and Chekov is, as always, so pleased to see her that you'd think their paths almost never cross.] You were? Have I done something? [Is he grounded?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He is among the least troublesome of her children, but he likes checking in just in case there was unwitting mischief. Not that checking in matters when she's asking him about food because yes he has ideas about beets.] Have you made beet tarts? With goat cheese and honey? There's nothing better to make with beets, not even borscht. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2017-01-22 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh, that sounds good! I can't believe I haven't made anything like that yet. [ He said cheese, the magic word. ] Do you want to help me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
