Blameless gumball wishes and taxicab dreams

[thespaceopera]

[On Today's Episode of Drift Fleet:

The cargo are still full of crates of gumballs! The ships are well booked past capacity! There's a new empty vessel in the fleet- the SS Blameless! Official alerts have informed the passengers that they are signed to contracts that they've never agreed to! They are still docked at the dazzling FS Starlight, but are flat broke (or have they made it big?)

How is the fleet handling these turns of events? Find out in the continuation!

...Meaning, this is a spillover mingle for February's mingle as it's hit recaptcha. Feel free to use this mingle to start new threads, or carry on old threads from the previous mingle!

Blue Fish

[save_the_souls]

[Allen, being a part of the blue fish crew, notices the strange guy looking around. He looks...sorta familiar? Like he has a resemblance to some people he knows. Either way, he'll approach]

Ah- hello. Can I help you?

[nedstarksbastard]

[Oh, there's--someone he doesn't recognize. Jon might be on the ship that his siblings are currently living on, but he's still a suspicious bastard, so his frame tenses a little when he spies Allen coming closer.]

Aye, you could. I'm looking to speak with my brothers and my sister.

[save_the_souls]

Your brothers and sister?

[He tilts his head and looks at him a little. Finally, he'll relax his position and look...almost mildly amused]

Let me guess, you're another Stark.

[nedstarksbastard]

Something like that. [He's not a Stark, is the thing, and the way he looks briefly away from Allen when he calls him another Stark is probably a dead giveaway.] I'm Jon Snow. I'm their brother.

[But he doesn't say I'm a Stark. He's Ned Stark's son, certainly, but he doesn't have the right to the Stark name. He turned that down, for a wall of cold ice and men who would later stab him in the back.]

[save_the_souls]

[Snow? He wonders if that's a second name or a surname...it's hard to tell with some worlds. Though, the way he reacted to the name was strange. Maybe he should ask Bran about it later...]

[Either way, he's not going to pick at it for now]

I see. [He offers a smile] Well I'm Allen Walker, I'm the first mate of this ship. It's nice to meet another member of their family.

[nedstarksbastard]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Allen. [And he's sincere on that, at least.] Do you know where their rooms are? I fear I may be a bit lost.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a nod] Of course, follow me.

[And he'll start walking.] What ship did you get assigned to?

[nedstarksbastard]

[Jon falls in a step behind him.] The Three Twins. [And he likes it just fine, it's just--he misses his siblings, he really wants to be close to them, and for all that Jon is doing his best to keep his tone somewhat neutral, he can't help the note of sadness that creeps in anyway.]
