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

[actsmagnificent]

[ 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.

[was that really necessary? She probably knows your voice by now.]

And what did you think?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Aside from a lot of things that go without saying, like "we can't fly home in them"?

Nah. Jokes first. ] There's room for two.

[incousinswithyou]

[it can't be that easy]

Oh? Is that an invitation I hear?

[actsmagnificent]

Living in one might get cramped.

[ Depending on how you feel about her miles of leg, however, this is not necessarily a drawback. But here's the confirmation she'd called to give: ] I can fly them.

Bishop

[preformthisneigh]

[Cheese spends a great deal of his time on planet, so he doesn't overly miss the shuttles. Still, he notices Haruka as he's wandering off towards the kitchen, and flashes a big grin. ]

Hey there! You're our new crewmate, right?

[ino]

[ And Ino's headed to the shuttle to take one back to her own ship, accidentally bumping into Haruka as she steps into the docking bay ]

--Oh! Sorry.

[actsmagnificent]

You could say -

[ And this is what Haruka gets for starting to sass back before turning to look at people. Her conversational partner turns out to be in fact, a tiny horse.

....There is not much she can say to that. ] You're far from home.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Whoops, it's busy here. Haruka reaches out to steady Ino's arm, smiling at her. It's a very special, exclusive smile that fills the air with sparkles. ] The fault's all mine.

Though I don't know how I missed seeing someone cute as you.

[ino]

[ Whoa ... ]

[ino]

[ ... Right. He said something. She shakes it off after a moment ]

Ah -- well, I don't live here ...

[ Hey boyfriend does. Right. That. ]

Are you ... new?

[experiencepoints]

[Oh, fuck.

One thing that didn't come across well on video is the size difference between them, so the tiny 5'1 Nightingale is just going to be staring up at Haruka.]

You're here now too?

[actsmagnificent]

[ This chuckle does not help the whole "filling the air with shoujo effects" issue. And she'll get to answering that question....eventually. ] What's your name?

[ino]

[ NO, NO IT DOESN'T.

She'll at least pull herself together enough to smile back genially ]

Oh -- I'm Ino! And you are?

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....Okay, that's adorable.

Haruka will keep her thoughts to herself but smile all the same. The smile is also more potent in person. ] And in good hands, apparently.

Thanks again.

[actsmagnificent]

Haruka. [ She winks. ] Your crew's lucky, kitten.

[experiencepoints]

[It's more potent, sure, but unfortunately, it seems to completely fail. Nightingale still thinks Haruka's a guy, it seems.]

No problem. Welcome to the Bishop. What augment do you have?

[actsmagnificent]

Does this ship need one more than others?

[ Good information to know. ]

[experiencepoints]

Not really. We just already have one redundant cook, and I've got no idea what else we have. Someone's got engineering, I think? And the horse is a pilot.

[ino]

[ Oh my god. WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE. ]

Thanks ...

Well, I'm -- I'm sure we'll see each other around if this is your ship, I come here a lot!

[actsmagnificent]

I'll look forward to it.

[ And then she either takes pity on Ino or remembers she'd been gathering intel. Hard to say. She does step out of Ino's way so that if the other woman decides she'd rather be on her way, she can. ] Are there many differences between the ships?

[actsmagnificent]

Then I'm redundant too. [ But she blinks at the word "horse", thinking she misheard it. ] Second pilot.

[ishere]

Settling in alright? I'm Tadashi, by the way.

[ tadashi will just... abruptly introduce himself as he rounds a corner and nearly runs into the tall young woman. he's got a rag at his hands, wiping some grease from his fingers. ]

[experiencepoints]

No, you're definitely the preferable pilot here. You have hands.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Good grief, she didn't mishear.

Still, she'll take that? As a compliment? For lack of anything better to say?? ] ...Anytime.

[actsmagnificent]

You're the engineer?

[ She heard there was one. Sherlock Tenoh, at your service. Here to make snap deductions and look good in plaid.

Or at least she would if these stupid show-provided outfits were plaid. ]
