driftfleet | SHUFFLE/WAY-STATION/ILLNESS/WHATEVER MINGLE POST

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.

[Okay the whispering is...kind of weird, but maybe she's just shy? Whatever. He can hear her just fine with his ears, so he won't bother asking about it.]

[But at least he'll try to make her feel better! Or try rather, since it still comes off sounding apathetic and dry.]

...Don't worry, this doesn't even make the list of weird situations for me.

Oh. That's good. [a short pause while she absentmindedly combs through some of her hair...] 'Cause I could make it weirder...

[....]

I'll bite. How?

What's the thing in your chest?

[which she says with a very straight face. she sounds curious. intentionally blunt, even. she doesn't know what it is, but she can tell from here that it's shaping magic... and that gives her aaaaall sorts of little red warning flags.]

[Kaneis blinks, glancing down at his chest while trying to make it too obvious, to double check to make sure that crystal's covered up. Which yep, it is. So. He'll look over and give her a curious look as he tries to play it off]

What? Do you mean my heart?

[Since hey, that's in there too! Maybe. Hard to tell with dead assholes]

[man, does she play hardball with this one...? this could get her in big trouble, but...]

Not unless your heart's massively distorting energy...

[Well, he may know someone from Kingdom Hearts, but he's not one himself- so that's out. He frowns because what. That's a new way to phrase it]

Massively distorting energy?

Yeah, like...

[she makes a vague... rounding gesture with her hands? it's very unhelpful.]

I think it's just your energy, but it's making it bigger? And also kind of weird. I don't know.

[so, hey. she at least doesn't know as much as one might fear.]

[...]

...Oh. That.

[Yeah. That description sounds like his cruxis crystal alright. Wonderful, she must be some kind of magic reader. His arms cross, and his eyes look around the area to see if anyone is nearby. Suddenly it's a good thing this girl tends to whisper]

It's my crystal. It helps me use my magic better.

[Among other things. Like keeps him alive. But really, he's just going to the vaguest explanation as possible here]

[oops, yeah. that's what she thought. she'll keep it really simple then, folding her hands together in front of her.]

It doesn't affect other people, does it?

[...she bets it would be delicious, though, if she licked it. or something. not that she wants to lick the gem on some dude's chest that would just be gross.]

[KRISTA THAT IS NOT THE CRYSTAL'S INTENDED USE]

Nah, just me.

Oh, okay.

[she pauses just long enough to hesitate... and then breaks into a smile anyway.]

So, what kind of magic?

[Luckily, he's used to people smiling about magic. Since hey, even he can admit it's pretty cool he can set stuff on fire with his mind kk]

Mostly elemental, and some healing stuff.

[sounds like Primal magic to her. she is thankfully far more interested in his magic than she is in his creepy soul gem, now that she knows it probably won't accidentally eat at her existence.]

Which elements? If you don't mind me being nosy. More nosy.

Heh, mostly the classics- earth, fire, wind - a few others too.

Okay, vote in on this argument I'm having with a friend.

Is "wood" an element? Yes or no.

A vote? Uh-

[He blinks]

...No? I've never heard it be one.

...Damn it.

[that's a point for Tek.]

Sorry.

Nah... That's okay. The argument rages on.

[she... stands there for a moment, and then...]

Oh, I guess that's... really all I wanted to ask you.

Good luck with that.

[And awkward standing]

Oh?

Well...what about your name?

[oh, she can do introductions!]

Uh, Krista. Krista Kingsley. I'm from over on the First Breath, though... I don't know if that counts for much, since I'm the only one over there...

And... Your name is...?

[He gives a slight nod]

Kaneis Major. I'm on the Wonderduck.

...But seriously? You're the only one on your ship?

Haha. Yeah...

[she was actually laughing at the name "Wonderduck" because it's funny, but.]

I just showed up there the other day. I guess I'm captain and stuff.

[Yeah, he isn't even surprised at the laughter at the name. Tis a very stupid name]

Oh, really? Uh...welcome and congratulations, I guess?
