now we got bad blood ♞ 1

[limitstorm]

Who: Riku
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Down on the planet.
When: 31st; forward-dating!

[ riku has made himself quite scarce in the past few days. he says it's about crowds, it's about the natives being too welcoming. he finds it weird; good treatment is a rarity in his book, but so are actual people. but today, he's actually ventured out past the few tiny shops near the ships. hooded and walking slow, you may note that he's trying not to be noticed again, but there's not much to say in how he looks around a lot, constantly surveying his surroundings.

he's more or less a proverbial wallflower as he stands back, watching everyone have fun and dance with the locals. well, whoever is willing to. it's not really halloween, there's no chocolate, there's no kids running around in costumes, but... he supposes people are finding it fun, and that's what matters. ... he thinks.

the skulls are a little creepy, though. ]

I guess this is a happy birthday? [ admittedly, he sounds a tad amused. ] Maybe I could go a year without chocolate.

[ a pause; ] Or I guess I could try alcohol...? Wonder if they've got an interplanetary age law here...

[ creep creep creeping on over to a nearby bar... ]

[Maya is abuzz with energy. While she's still grappling with the fact that she's here instead of home, she knows that moping isn't going to do anything. And arriving on a new planet? Is a genuinely cool thing. So she's trying to have fun. At one point in the afternoon she likely had paint on her face to match the locals, but a lot of it is smudged and messy from a long day of having fun.

So, when Riku walks by her and mentions something about a birthday, she turns towards him and raises her mug of space beer (she's not much of a drinker, but she's technically legal (even if those years at Paradisa don't show physically) and if she only has a little she knows it'll be fine)]

Happy birthday!

[ STEPPING BACK BECAUSE SKULLFA--oh no it's a girl. doesn't seem like she means harm... he scratches his cheek sheepishly. ]

Uh... thanks. I think.

I'm Riku. Nice to meet you.

[optimystic]

[she looks slightly aghast] How can you not be sure? Getting wished a happy birthday is always a good thing.

[she smiles] I'm Maya Fey, nice to meet you Riku. You're on the fleet too, right? Which ship?

[limitstorm]

[ well... for many different reasons. ]

I'm on the SS Bloodsport. What about you?

[optimystic]

SS Huntress, pretty cool name, huh? A lot of the other ones I've heard are pretty weird... but Bloodsport. [she silently mouths the word again. Bloood.... Spoooort....]

Yep, you're on our level of cool.

[ at this moment in time, riku remembers wonderduck and tries to hold back his laughter, even if a big smile crosses his face. ]

I dunno, if you saw the people inside the ship, I think you'd change your mind.

[she laughs a little]

Yeah? Have you got a pretty silly crew? [she's not sure if they can beat her awesome crew of weirdos]
