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]

Cargo Bay - BALL GAME

[save_the_souls]

[Flying between systems can be a rather dull affair, with days of nothing to do but seeing empty waystations. And since most of them were good physical condition- it's probably not surprising to find the cargo bay be set up as a makeshift basketball court for anyone who wants to join in the game. For the hoops, there's some metal rings strung up by chains and white ribbons from the deck]

[That is, if it is basketball. Honestly, it seems more like the bunch only has a vague idea what basketball even is and is making up rules as they go along. It doesn't help that Allen was the only one from Earth and only had the vaguest idea how team sports work. But whatever, what passes the time right?]

Hey! I said you don't kick the ball! That's football!

[It's said to whoever had just kicked the ball out of the area while he was getting a drink of water. At least, he's pretty sure it's just football that you kick it...]

[alwayscomeback]

[For once, it wasn't Sokka. Rules are important, so he took in every single one of the half-assed (and probably partly wrong) rules that Allen gave on the game. He feels he's gained the right, in his very vague second-hand knowledge of this game, to tsk in a condescending manner. ]

Some people, right?

[save_the_souls]

[...]

Sokka.

[YOU LEARNED FIVE MINUTES AGO NOT TO KICK DON'T BE AN ARSE]

visitor » action!

[limitstorm]

[ yeah he came onto this ship to check up on kairi for the record.

but he has to stop a bit because wow, the mess of light and dark and very obviously magical energy on this ship have him slowing down. he's got a headache. ]

What's with this ship? It's like a beacon.

[ SERIOUSLY maybe some of you guys could tone it down? don't be so protag. ]

you did this to yourself

[bolder]

[Blind pilot walking on by.]

Don't make me kick you off the ship.

[bolder]

What else am I supposed to do?! This is stupid, why can't we play something I can at least see?

[She kicks the ball harder! >/]

And shut up, Sokka!

never stops protagging

[save_the_souls]

[Yeah he's sorry he has...no idea what sort of messy vibes he's giving off here, so when he sees this guy grimacing, he's concerned.]

Are you alright?

rude

[limitstorm]

[ erk.

... wow, she's so small. ]

I'm just here to check on Kairi.

she knows he is

[bolder]

[She turns to "face" him, not really looking at him directly.]

Uh-huh. Just keep your whining about the ship or whatever to yourself. We're not here to cater to your delicate constitution.

[limitstorm]

[ wow, what a brat. ]

Sure.

[limitstorm]

Yeah--I'm fine.

[ oh, it's that guy. he blinks for a moment before shaking his head. ]

Didn't know you were on the ship, too... know where Kairi is?

[bolder]

[It's true, she is.] Are you looking for her now?

[save_the_souls]

[he shrugs] I'm the first mate, actually.

But sorry. I haven't seen her since this morning.

[limitstorm]

Yeah. I'll find her on my own.

[ with that kind of greeting, he knows better to ask for help. ]

[limitstorm]

Oh--sorry. She hasn't said much about you guys.

[ frrrown. with all these messy auras and energies, it's hard to pinpoint pure light amongst them. ]

Thanks, anyway. I'll... find her.

[bolder]

[He was being all whiny. She's not that horrible.] Don't be all huffy. Even if you keep looking, she could be looking, too. Hang on.

[Toph quickly stomps a bare foot on the metal flooring of the ship before tilting her head back towards the kitchen.] Over there, just entering the kitchen now, actually.

[save_the_souls]

It's fine. [He smiles] Not like I say much worth telling.

[But nice to know Kairi doesn't gripe a lot about how much her first mate eats. Always pleasant.]

Alright, but- oh. [As if remembering something.] Before you do, there's something I'd like to ask you about. About Kairi.

Ah- if you don't mind, of course.

[limitstorm]

[ he expects everyone to treat him like shit, it's thankfully not personal.

when she stomps her foot, he pauses, before looking over towards the kitchen. ]

How'd you...? [ wait, is that rude? to ask? ]

[limitstorm]

[ he starts to walk away, but his words bring him back, and he raises an eyebrow at him. ]

Uh... sure. A friend of Kairi is... [ ... ...

he pushes his hair back. ] a friend of mine. [ he. guesses. ]

[bolder]

[She just grins and waves a hand in front of her face.] It's how I see. I'm an earthbender-- I control rocks and earth-- and I feel vibrations with my feet to get a picture of things. A couple years ago, I invented metalbending, so I can do the same with that.

Everyone has a different feel to them, how they walk, whatever. It comes in handy.

[destinyembrace]

Is it bad that I thought you said bacon for a moment?

[Kairi smiles as she approaches Riku from behind.]

But a beacon in what way?

1/2

[save_the_souls]

Ah...

[That had to be the most awkward warm friendly gesture he's ever seen. Did people teach him he needs to say that?]

Right.

[save_the_souls]

[He clears his throat, as if to clear that awkwardness that Riku laid on the table there.]

Anyway, this morning Kairi told the crew that she was one of the "Princesses of Heart"? She said you knew about it as well.

[limitstorm]

[ oh, she's blind. he takes a quick glance at the floor and then makes a wordless, impressed sound. ]

That's amazing. I get what you mean--you can tell, sort of. [ he has a different kind of 'vision'. ] Do different kinds of earth make it hard to 'see'?

[destinyembrace]

[KAIRI IS FACEPALMING OVER HERE.]

How can you guys be so coordinated during an attack but not with sports?
