Per Aspera Ad Astra The woman who bumped into him, who looked exactly like Kyra, sans the cat ears looked back at the man as if she couldn't place him, like she might've seen him passing by her on the street. "Oh, uh, sorry, nevermind, you just look like someone I know," the man apologized...

Hey, so uh...we're heading out now...I'll catch ya later? Don't die out there, aight? @Luthien

145 Location: Knowledge Exchange, MIT With the MIT lecture over and done (and his mind more than a little fried) Yu stepped out of the lecture cracking his knuckles, flexing fingers, attempting to stretch them and release the tension from gripping his pen for so long. "Okay, while I'd love to...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Y-Yeah... I thought it would've been emptier considering it's a Monday." Ari didn't miss the fact that Valeria hadn't removed her hand from his. With a secret smile, he grasped her hand a little more firmly. Stealing a glance over at the girl, her face flushed light red as...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "It'd be crazier if they didn't have anymore trucks show up," Ari replied as they walked, throwing out the empty box of chips in the first trash can they came across after they'd finished. "Lot's of hungry people at events like this. And that means a lot of money to be...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Well, then we better pray that everyone here doesn't have intact olfactory senses," Ari said with a chuckle. With Valeria's confirmation, the two started to move back towards the larger crowd, snacking on the remaining chips as they went. What had started as a typical...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "We can't let anyone else know about that food truck, or there will be a line for days," Ari replied jokingly, giving the girl a conspiratorial look. It must remain secret, or they'd have to fight thirty minute long lines in the heat. And that sounded like the exact...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Ooh, let me try these then," Ari said at the mention of house-made chips. Store bought were always just so bland. He almost never had nachos unless he was at a restaurant that made them themselves. The difference between store brand and house made was like water and wine...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "The kimchi and jalapeños really balance out the sweetness of that sauce~" "Dude, I know!" Ari exclaimed setting the taco back down in the box and taking a drink as Valeria tried the chips and salsa. "How're the chips?" the man asked, propping a knee up and draping an arm...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Yeah...fine. Just...don't like the slimeodile thing. Had some bad encounters with it. Very, very bad..." Kyra said to the man, her voice quieter than usual. "I guess it's just...I don't know, for a moment I remembered the pain of being caught in its jaws. Bad memories, and...

Per Aspera Ad Astra For some reason, despite nearly choking on her burrito laughing, Valeria shot Ari a beaming smile that made his heart skip a beat. For just single, insignificantly small, breathless moment, his eyes had locked onto hers, magenta eyes meeting his deep brown ones. And then...

Per Aspera Ad Astra Watching as Valeria took a bite of the burrito, the initial look of surprise at his offer for her to go first melting in a wide eyed look of pleasure. She then held the burrito up to him, attempting to speak with her mouth so stuffed with food that nothing intelligible came...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Alrighty, sounds good," Ari said with an eager smile, clapping his hand and rubbing them together before opening the box. Inside, the burrito was wrapped in foil. Picking it up, Ari unwrapped one end before handing it to Valeria. "You first," he said taking a small drink...

Per Aspera Ad Astra Ari waited and watched as Valeria bit into her taco, watching as her eyes lit up with joy as she sank her teeth into the tasty little taco. "Right?" the man said with a smile before stuffing the remainder of the taco into his mouth and then wiping his hands on a napkin. The...

Per Aspera Ad Astra Hearing Valeria snicker, Ari looked over at her. "Really?" he questioned, though his tone, and the slight upward curl of a single corner of his mouth would indicate he found her reaction more amusing than childish. "I know right?" the man agreed as the two sank into the...

Per Aspera Ad Astra Ask and ye shall receive. Or something like that. It wasn't very long until a loud cry of "Number sixty nine!" came from the pick up window of the food truck. "Oh, that's us. Holy shit that was fast," Ari commented, taking a brief glance at his watch. before slipping the...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Man, tamarind? Ya know, that's one flavor I've never really managed to wrap my taste buds around," Ari replied as he though about the one or two times he had ever actually tried anything tamarind flavored. Maybe it was because both of those times, he had had tamarind...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "The more ya know, right?" Ari said, casting an amused gaze over at Valeria, only getting the slightest of impressions that she was embarrassed. It was kinda cute, if Ari was being honest with himself. The girl tapped in her phone info, and then gave herself a ring before...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Those are big boots indeed," Ari agreed as he slowly made his way through his meal. "But you're not your ancestor. And there other ways to honor your family than just kicking the piss out of the guys who insulted you." Ari chose to leave out his other opinions about honor...

Per Aspera Ad Astra "Bialys," Ari repeated with a laugh. "They're these Jewish bread roll things. Pretty sure they're those 'different' bagels you were talking about." Ari had never had one before, but he'd at least heard that they were pretty good. He wasn't entirely sure what the hype about...
