Stella Roundtree      Back in New York, Stella has her camera and some fresh film! Very easy to stock up here in the city, and she's happy to get back to taking pictures. And thus Hal gets a picture of a camera and a take-out menu held up in front of Stella's bedroom picture of the stars, just followed by a "??????". It should be an easy puzzle at that...
Hal Jordan It's probably a good thing that she didn't try to make the puzzle a great deal more complicated. Fortunately it was simple enough that Hal could indeed figure out just what was being asked of him and it is not too terribly long until he is outside her window, glowing all the green and tapping lightly at the glass. It seems that they are going on a little trip again.
Stella Roundtree      "Hey there, handsome!" Stella says, backpack all packed, bag of tacos in hand, ready to go! She never thought that she'd be jumping out of windows quite this much at thirty. But she's ready climb into his bubble at a moment's notice. "I thought you might know someone who knows of cool space stuff to photograph, got any hunches?"
Hal Jordan "I see it has become my fate to run guided tours," Hal teases as he forms up that green bubble, sealing it to the window as he helps her slip out of her apartment in most unusual fashion before beginning to pull away. That green glow expands, filling in the gap to make a completely sealed sphere soon enough and then they are away, racing upwards, past the clouds and then entirely out of the atmosphere altogether. "I think I can give you a few canvases for your masterpieces," he agrees wryly.
Stella Roundtree      "And unlike most vacations, if I screw up, I can try again!" Stella says, all cheer. "Not just a one-time deal." She pulls out two of her cameras, a Diana and an ActionSampler, which looks like it takes four photos on one frame. "It'll be so exciting to get these done up! I got a scrapbook and everything, like an old lady, just waiting to fill it with cool pictures!' she announces.
Hal Jordan "A valid point," Hal agrees with a smirk. "You're pretty lucky to have me around," he adds as they break atmosphere and enter that dark void of space, the Earth falling away like a glittering jewel behind them as he settles them into orbit. "Did you want to start with a few shots of the ol' stomping grounds, or did you want to immediately set out looking for something more exotic and fantastic?" he asks with a hint of a grin.
Stella Roundtree      "I'm very lucky to have you around!" Stella says, "And let's make up for lost time! Pluto and Jupiter! And then something more exotic. To me it'll all be exotic, though!" she says, pulling her cameras out, both loaded up with film. Though she might end up taking more than thirty-five shots of whatever they go past, that's for sure. "And I'll have to get some of us at some point, even if not on this trip. Got to."
Hal Jordan He gives a quiet chuckle at that and nods his head, sweeping that emerald sphere past the moon, the light of the sun blotted out momentarily as they dip low behind the lunar surface, the literal dark side of the moon with only the glow of his ring and construct to light their way. Then they are back out into the light, zipping further out into the solar system, taking a winding sort of route so they can swing past each planet in turn. "A few with us in them would be rather nice," he conceeds with a smile.
Stella Roundtree      "Well yeah! Got to! Unless we break up, then I will cut you out of them," she says. "You might meet a much cooler space girl with a better camera." Which is besides the point, really. Stella knows cameras, she works with them all the time. This is purely a fun jaunt, not an obsessive trek to get high resolution photos of every pockmark on a planet. "I don't have too many recent pictures of myself, but a lot from when I was. younger. Maybe you need a ew of you, too! Though probably out of the uniform, huh?"
Hal Jordan "That's pretty harsh," he counters lightly. "I guess I better stick with you to avoid having the few photos I'm going to be in mutilated," he suggests slyly as they make their approach towards Mars, swooping in low across the red planet, past Olumpus Mons, the tallest mountain in the solar system -- more than two and a half times the height of Mount Everest before they are winging their way towards the asteroid belt that separates the inner planets from the outer ones. "And it probably would be good to have a few more pictures around of me doing things. Though yes, not in this particular uniform at least," he agrees with a smirk.
Stella Roundtree      "Oh, you want some good heroic pictures of you doin' flight stuff? You do have sort of a retro vibe, I can work with that! It's so nice to be photographing people not breaking into places," she says with a sigh as she insists they stop at some points so she can get a shot. "If I'm allowed, we can go in front of some neat planes, maybe get some shots of you! If it's not all experimental and top secret," she says. The smell of tacos is wafting up from the bag while she 'works.'
Hal Jordan "I think we can manage some of that. It might be nice to have a few of those kind too," he says agreeably. "Well, if nothing else you should have some interesting subject matter. I mean, not many people get to look at and take pictures of space quite like this," he notes as thousands of asteroid fragments whizz by quickly, the looming beheamoth of Jupiter and it's dozens upon dozens of moons growing ever larger in front of them. "We'll find something that you can snap absolutely," he assures her.
Stella Roundtree      "I know, right!" she says, very careful with the shots she is taking. Her four lens camera seems to be the camera of choice, each going off separately as the planet gets closer. "But you also just have to take a bunch and see which come out. We'll take some good ones so you can show your mom when you're doin' plane stuff that it's all very American and wholesome," she grins. "And even our space stuff so far is, uh... mostly wholesome. And dig in if you're hungry, I brought food for us, not just as a gift to anyone we might run into up here!"
