SHUFFLE/WAY-STATION/ILLNESS/WHATEVER MINGLE POST

[save_the_souls]

Who: You! Me! Him! Her! Them! Everyone!
Broadcast: If you want!
Action: On your respective ships, or the Waystations!
When: After the shuffle over the next couple days! Whenever man!

[It's been nearly a week since the fleet's said their goodbyes to the planet full of skull face folks, and another Shuffle has come and gone. Despite what was mentioned on the last week's Shuffle about cannibalism, it doesn't seem like any crews has resorted to that, so maybe some of you have begun to relax.]

[Or maybe not. In fact, maybe you should do a crew headcount just in case1.]

[By now, some of you who handled any red stones from the planet natives may be feeling under the weather or even downright shitty. But hey! What's that to stop you from visiting the way-stations? These way-stations may be in the same crappy condition as the last way-stations - but at least they're people on these ones! Really...shady looking people! But that's not about to stop you from making friends right2?]

[Essentially, this is a game wide mingle post for this week's shuffle, November's way-stations anyone getting ill, or anything else you want to do but too lazy to make a post about! Please feel free to tag in and tag around! Just make sure to put your characters' location and communication methods (action/network) in the header and/or in the prompts!]

1. - This recommendation goes double for the SS Blue Fish.
2. - Warning: Attempts to make friends with extremely shady characters on the Way-Stations may result in heartwarming musical numbers, or much, much more likely - being kidnapped. Please use your own discretion.

[ oh my gosh a real space station! ]

Wow, it's so pretty...!

[ miyuki twirls with wonder underneath the glass of the inner "park" area. she's easily dwarfed by the sheer size of everything around her, but she doesn't seem to care, skipping around in the open space. wow! this is amazing, everything somehow seems so much brighter in starlight.

of course, miyuki and her horrible klutziness, she bumps right into a skinny, tall man--the force of her playing knocked him right over and onto his face. ]

Oh no! I'm so sorry, are you okay?

[ bending down next to him, she tries to help him up for the man to smack her hands away from him and glare.

she doesn't flinch, but presses her hands together. ]

I'm really sorry! I didn't see you the--

Someone shut it up!

Huh?

[ oh. for all his stick thin-ness, his companions more than make up for it. he gestures to her as they leer, and upon raising some weapons they start to advance.

she doesn't move, but her face goes from apologetic to stern.

she seemingly excuses bright pink light, blinding for a moment. usually she'd hide, but... this is a different matter, and no one is around. she doesn't move or say a word until they step forward again.

sharply-- ]

Precure Happy Shower... Shining!

[ the magnitude of the bright, blinding pink light is huge--

because miyuki might have forgotten subtlety in this moment of almost being attacked. the trio, however, is blown back quite a ways and she's panting quietly. she gets a little dizzy before she holds her hand against her head, dropping to her knees in exhaustion.

the trio scramble away when they come to her senses, and she sighs; ]

What a relief... but why'm I so tired?

[ with an audible pop, she returns to her normal form, light glittering around her as it fades. ]

[theboogieman]

[you know, there are some days where he really wishes he couldn't vividly see magic. there's a reason that, on his world, human brains try their best to just ignore all of it. it's the shit like this that really gives him a headache.

long story short, some scary-looking guy in a heavy coat and a full face of skull-themed makeup saw the whole thing. and is blatantly staring.]

[mirroromirror]

[ she just sits on her bent legs for a moment, catching her breath before looking around--

AGH OH MY GOD THERE'S A SCARY PERSON

and he's staring

oh god. ]

U-uhm... hi. You didn't see that... right?

[theboogieman]

[...he just... nods. totally saw the whole thing.]

[mirroromirror]

[ spazzing; ]

A-ah, it's okay, um! Please don't talk about this to anyone else! It's a secret, you see!

[theboogieman]

[he... slowly nods again. who would he tell about the magic pink sparkling girl, honestly?]

[mirroromirror]

[ her face goes from very concerned to suddenly chipper--and yep she's giving him a hug, all of a sudden. ]

Thank you! Thank you, thank you! [ she lets go with a big sigh. ] What a relief... I'm Miyuki! Who're you?

[theboogieman]

[screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee why is it touching him oh god oh god oh god.

he freezes completely until she lets go, actually looking a little... shellshocked by the time she can see his face again... and s-shakes his head...]

[mirroromirror]

[ she looks completely oblivious to his freezing up, or maybe she just didn't notice. she tilts her head, noticing the look. ]

What's the matter, Skelly-san? Do you feel okay?

[theboogieman]

[...n-nodding. he's fine. just... he's fine. as he absentmindedly brushes off the front of his coat, in case any magic... sparkly pink stuff got on him, or something.]

[mirroromirror]

[ don't worry, the magic sparkly pink stuff isn't contagious, skelly-san. jeez.

but she looks a bit confused for a moment or two, because he hasn't spoken a word... briefly concerned, she balls her hand against her lips, before coming to a surprisingly adept conclusion: ]

Can you speak?

[theboogieman]

[he... looks to the side, for a moment, considering just lying and saying he can't. but then she'll try to talk to him over his phone, and it'll be just as annoying, and he'd kind of rather just leave this whole weird situation as quickly as possible.

so he nods for yes. he can.]

[mirroromirror]

Oh...

[ there's a pause as her brain keeps up. ]

So you just don't want to, right?

[catamite]

[...welp! Nel has seen some strange things in his time, but this tops most of them. this little display is even more dazzling and trippy than some of his craziness hallucinations.

in fact, he's only halfway convinced that what he just watched was actually real.

so, the pointy-eared dude ends up just standing back and staring for quite a long moment before saying anything. and when he does, it's just a quiet--]

...Wow.

[mirroromirror]

[ AGH

she whips her head around to look at nel, eyes bright and worried. ]

Ah--you saw that?

[catamite]

[oh! that means it really did happen, then...

he nods very slowly, totally wide-eyed.]

[mirroromirror]

[ ah! no! jumping to her feet, she leans forwards, on her tiptoes. ]

Please keep it a secret! Between you and me, please don't tell anyone!

[catamite]

A secret? [he blinks a bit, automatically leaning back as she leans forward]

Why? What... was that even?

[mirroromirror]

U-uhm, it's nothing! Nothing, really!

[catamite]

'Nothing?'

[he kind of... gestures out where all the fireworks happened, flailing at the empty space a little]

Did you see that?? It was crazy!

[mirroromirror]

W-well, I made it, so I saw it! Of course I did!

[catamite]

Made it??

...Out of what?

[mirroromirror]

Um... I think it's light. Or energy... yes, definitely energy!

[catamite]

Whoa, like magic?

[mirroromirror]

Yes! Like magic... um, it is magic!
