001 // action for bishop (or people in shuttles); private voice to michiru

[ action - aboard the bishop ]

[ Hopefully nobody's too fond of going out in the shuttles on this ship. One of them has been missing for hours at a time ever since the beginning of the week.

If you wait around long enough for it to return, however, you'll find a tall young "man" ducking out of the shuttle and heading down the corridor. Lost in thought as they are, this person isn't watching in front of them.....

Alternatively, should anyone in the Fleet also enjoy joyriding, that shuttle has been flying around and trying experimental maneuvers. Whoever's at the controls seems pretty good at coaxing speed out of something that isn't currently built for that, but they also don't seem to have a goal in mind. They're even drifting in what, to someone aboard a ship, might look like an upside-down position. ]

[ voice - private to Michiru ]

This is Haruka. I've investigated the shuttles.

they get home, chibiusa wants to introduce them to helios, haruka nopes away

[ It's a coping mechanism, Haruka guesses. But Soldiers of the Outer Solar System cannot afford such luxuries. ] We'll see.

[ Honestly, she is not sure what to recommend. This ship has 1) a cook, which is apparently a rarity (and the kind of luxury Haruka will permit herself) and 2) an engineer who has taken the time and effort to modify the ship. Both of these seem like advantages. So as a place goes, the Bishop isn't bad.

But there's a tiny horse. ] Sticking together's the most important part.

but does this horse come with polka music

[incousinswithyou]

[she'll find out about the tiny horse sooner or later]

We have a bit of time. [from what she has gathered, transfers happen at the end of the week. Checking out each other's ships might be a good idea to be handwaved.

Trying to keep them apart with technicalities is futile anyway.]

it comes with more cowbell...

[actsmagnificent]

Don't rush things, huh? [ As if she has a tendency to do that. Well, maybe she does. Just a little bit.

But Michiru is right. Blind movement is only best in full emergencies. This doesn't qualify. Yet. ]

so if you put the two together...

[incousinswithyou]

I didn't say it quite as bluntly as that. [she might as well have.]

Come over when you have the chance. [Michiru driving a shuttle is an odd aesthetic, but she'll probably eventually have to learn anyway.]

D:

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka grins. ] If you insist.

[ You thought of a good use for that time they have, didn't you. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[that's a quiet laugh before she shuts off the communicator. She might have.

Or maybe she wants to see if transforming works. Who knows.]
