[Congratulations to the crews that did not get themselves blown up! Welcome to the Blue Planet, a planet full of charming islands and even less charming weather patterns! Are you going to take the time to enjoy the beach? Help out with the local Nunnilis population? Get caught in a storm with another person and have a rating boosting sexual tension moment? The world's your oyster!]

[Yeah in other words: ITS A MINGLE GET IN HERE]

[Cassandra sputters, flushing, for a moment before,]

Excuse you?

[ino]

[ In turn, she notices the look HE'S giving HER, which clearly warrants that volleyball being hurled at an inhuman speed directly at his face. 8) ]

[experiencepoints]

[the owners are npcs though]

Who knows, maybe I'll buy this place out of spite.

[nextlineis]

[He tries to catch it before it can hit him in the face, but no that definitely hits him smackdab in the face and he's down with a loud oof! after being knocked completely off-balance. If you'll excuse him, he'll be rolling side-to-side on the ground while he holds his nose for a few minutes. Jesus Christ, is he bleeding? He's pretty sure he's bleeding.]

[He rolls over onto his stomach and pushes up onto his hands and knees, although he's using one hand now to pinch his nose.]

The hell was that for!?

[ino]

[ Well, she kind of expected him to catch it, but ... ]

Oops, my hand slipped.

[nextlineis]

[Joseph wonders how the hell someone could possibly be that petty and spiteful. He grits his teeth for a moment before he stands up.]

Fine, [he spits out.] There are plenty of other places to get food around here that isn't this place without having to go back to the ship.

[So don't think you bested him!]

[nextlineis]

[Joseph mutters a "bullshit" under his breath as he turns and just sits. If that was the case, she'd definitely apologize or check to see how bad it was. If she weren't a woman...]

[Joseph just glowers at her for a moment before he points to the ball, which managed to bounce a fairly good distance away after hitting him in the face.]

Go bring that back to the others then.

[ino]

[ She folds her arms across her chest ]

Why, so you can look at my ass while I walk past you?

[experiencepoints]

[bitch please i have let people who are supposed to be my friends get eaten alive by zombies out of petty spite]

Have fun with those.

[openhands]

[She pulls the cup the rest of the way in front of her, but doesn't immediately drink from it.]

I will take this over finding any more ships.

[At least all seems relatively peaceful and quiet here.]

[openhands]

[They do have that tendency. Which is why Cassandra says nothing to the contrary. She's not about to tell an elf not to be mad about humans as long as they know not to let it get in the way of obtaining a common goal.]

Then let us hope some are learning a valuable lesson while we are here.

[She thinks almost immediately of particular members of her crew. Something in her tone and face turns a touch bitter. Forgiveness is difficult to come by from Cassandra.]

[nextlineis]

No.

[He looks downright offended at the accusation, if only because that wasn't on his mind. ...Actually he would be offended either way, but it'd be a little more indignant and come coupled with a snipe about having better things to look at to compensate if his intentions were less than pure.]

So they [he jabs a thumb over his shoulder] aren't waiting on me to keep playing.

[nextlineis]

[...Honey, we gotta work on your loyalty to teams and friends.]

[He almost flips her the bird over his shoulder, but just shoots her a silent glare before stalking off to find somewhere else to eat.]

[experiencepoints]

[WE DID WORK ON IT, I REGRET IT NOW

but i still totally did that thing

she just waves as he goes, so smug]

[coppermarigolds]

[Aveline looks at him, trying to be stern, but... yes, not doing a very good job of it.]

I have been known to relax occassionally, you know.

[coppermarigolds]

[They are not, Fenris, don't be silly.]

I imagine that's a bit messier. Honestly, I don't see how this planet manages. I mean, obviously it does, but I don't see how.

[coppermarigolds]

[Fine. That's... settled. Aveline hugs herself, leaning up against the wall.]

I can't decide whether this planet is advanced from what I know or completely backwards and primitive. Caves, by the Maker.

[coppermarigolds]

Did you see much of the Blight?

[Her tone is very studiously casual. Because. It has to be.]

It... reminded me a bit of that.

[mylegacy]

[It works - maybe because Caesar's distracted, maybe because his emotions are all over the place, maybe because the sun's in his eyes. Maybe just because right in this moment, he doesn't care who wins. He'll never admit it, certainly not to Joseph, but all he wants right now is the safety of a good fight. The outcome is inconsequential. This time, his pride doesn't rest on it. This time.]

[So his eyes are on Joseph's face, his smug smile, when his foot hits him in the chest. Turn the tables, Joseph says, and Caesar falls back on his hands in the sand, still laughing even as his skin stings with Ripple.]

I don't know, Jojo . . . I've seen you win, but I've also seen you lose your footing!

[So saying, he rests his weight on his hands and sweeps his feet out to kick Joseph's out from under him as he's still getting up. A charge of Ripple in this one, too, strong enough to spark off the sand beneath them.]

[ino]

[ ... Hmm. Now she feels a little bad, because he's trying to be nice to the other people ...

So, she'll scoot over to grab the ball and toss it back to them, before coming back and rummaging through her bag.

... Offers him a hanky with a very begrudging sigh. ]

Here ...

[ino]

-- Ah, one second.

[ She pulls out her communicator and snaps a picture of it ]

[experiencepoints]

They're cameras, too?

[nextlineis]

[He only looks up at her briefly when she offers him the hanky. He almost doesn't take it (not out of spite, but just so he's not bleeding all over her stuff), but he sees it as a peace offering. So, for that reason alone, he accepts it.]

Thanks. [Once he's had a chance to dab at some of the blood on his upper lip and he's back to putting pressure on his nose.] You know, you should play. You throw that hard, I'd imagine your spikes would scare the shit out of the opposing team.

[peacockherald]

Vanyel jumped a little at the other's sudden appearance, but it cleared when he realized whom it was. He beamed at the other and then laughed, shaking his head. "I cannot say I do, but if you hum one for me I think I might be able to pick it up."

[ino]

Yep! Handy, huh?
