Meanwhile on the less violent fish ship....

[save_the_souls]

Who: The Blue Fish Crew & Any Visitors
Broadcast: MAYBE
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Beginning of July

[So in the past month, Aang & Katara may or may not have become an item, Sokka finished off all of puberty in under a week, Allen remained stuck in the puberty still, Toph won strangest pilot award briefly before she had to give it up to a pony, Hawke sassed everything and finally itemized with Anders, Beverly acquired a Starfleet issued puppy, and it turned out the cook is a flipping disney princess. Quite a time for the Blue Fish crew!]

[Well, it's time to check in with them again: AKA IT'S A MINGLE EVERYONE]

Trespasser!

[catamite]

[there's an elven invasion on the Blue Fish! Nel is here looking for your lovely medic, but... is maybe doing a little bit of wandering in the meantime.

so, until he meets up with Beverly, there is a kid with pointy ears poking around a little bit-- especially in your incredible kitchen. he's never seen so many flavors of protein, wow...]

:o

[kyasdaughter]

Hey!

[ she'll just pause as she steps into the kitchen, a little surprised when she realizes that she doesn't... actually... super recognize this guy. ]

Oh, um - are you looking for something?

[catamite]

[he startles a little, turning toward the voice-- and ah, he quickly puts on his best smile in defense.]

Hi! Sorry... I'm just here because, um. I'm visiting someone.

[oh and he'll just. put down this packet of desert gel mix he was looking at.]

--Do you live here? Is this your ship?

[kyasdaughter]

Yep!

[ she doesn't bat an eye when he puts the packet down - katara doesn't really have any hangups about sharing here, okay. she does smile at him as she grabs a cup of water to sip on and takes a seat, however, expression friendly. ]

Which one are you on?

[catamite]

[having her sit down puts him at ease, somewhat--he looks slightly less like he's expecting to be called out on something any minute now.]

Oh, it's one of the ones with the dumb names. Three Twins.

THREE WEEKS LATER

[kyasdaughter]

That's a pretty ridiculous name, you're right.

[ she takes a sip of water, but it's clear she's attempting to convey her own good humor here. ]

I guess at least "blue fish" makes a little more sense. I'm Katara, by the way. [ and that's maybe a gentle prompt for his? ]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen walks in, a bit surprised to see this person. He doesn't know him personally...but isn't he from Ino's crew? Why is he here admiring the protein flavors like someone who has the munchies?]

Ah, hello?

[catamite]

[oh, funny how that works.

but yes, the voice spooks him, and he scoots innocently away from the protein machine with a fast smile.]

Oh! Hi. Is this, uh... your ship?

[save_the_souls]

Ah...yes. Yes it is.

Are you...here to see someone?

[catamite]

Yeah! I'm just visiting.

[rubbing the back of his neck.]

Didn't mean to intrude on your... kitchen, here.

[save_the_souls]

[Well that's...something? Then again, it's not like he's doing anything weird but looking at the protein machine, so...whatever, he guesses]

Oh, it's...fine. We got more than enough proteins to go around.

[Seeing how it's never ending and all that]

Nel, isn't it?

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi's used to having people walking into the kitchen all the time when she's working. Normally she doesn't pay it much mind, until they say something to her. But when this person lingers without saying anything, she looks up and... realizes she has no idea who he is. Uh.]

Oh, hello. Are you looking for someone?

[catamite]

Oh... sorry. No, um...

[he puts down whatever he was looking at, and smiles. like he's just now realizing that he's trespassing in someone else's kitchen and that isn't exactly considered polite.]

--Well, I mean, I am. But I was just... looking around right now...

[destinyembrace]

[Hey, it's an impressive kitchen, one of the best in the whole fleet. She can't blame him for staring. In fact, she's not upset at all, and offers him a comforting smile.]

It's all right. Who were you looking for?

[catamite]

[he eases up a little, but still hunches his shoulders sheepishly--as if she was a much larger, more imposing person than she really seems right now.]

Doctor, uh... [does he remember a last name? nope.] Beverly.

[destinyembrace]

Oh! Beverly. You can probably find her in the medical lab. I could show you the way if you like?

[dancingmd]

[Nel honey, what are you doing in the kitchen? She said to meet in the clinic.]

Nel? I was wondering where you were! You should have let me know when you got here!

[catamite]

[he startles a little, and she gets a full second of blank stare before it all changes to a big, embarrassed smile.]

Yeah, sorry. I was just... [getting abysmally distracted.]

[dancingmd]

[She tilts her head and eyes the protein cubes he was just checking out.]

...Hungry?

[catamite]

No, I'm fine.

[automatic and polite, compulsively folding his hands behind his back.]

[dancingmd]

Are you sure? We really don't mind sharing a little bit.

[savedtheworld]

Hi there! [Aang suddenly pops out from around a corner and waves to the familiar person.]

Have we talked before? I'm pretty sure we did! What brings you here?

[catamite]

[and oops, he's totally startled-- jumping and dropping the packet of dessert mix he'd been looking at.]

--What? Uh... [he puts on a hasty smile!] Oh, I think so! Yeah.

[savedtheworld]

[Aand quickly goes to pick up.]

Here, let me help you! I'm Aang.

[catamite]

Oh, that's okay, um...

[since it's not really his packet of dessert mix to begin with. but okay.]

I'm Nel. Is this, uh... your ship?
