At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]


ooc: here's another mingle for the current game event! players can start or continue threads here from any point during the event. the additional setting information is still being postponed due to sickly mods, but y'all are welcome to post additional topcomments for reactions and investigation once it's up!

[admirably]

[ Yeah, he probably will. ]

Then I will bear that in mind. Never cross the Lady Katara. And yes, I'd be happy to hear anything you can tell me about the ship.

[alwayscomeback]

Calling her a 'lady' might help your cause. Might.

Well! Our first mate is called Allen Walker, if you see a guy with white hair and [he waves his hand at his face] this red scar thing that's him! He's in charge of our finances, o if you need to use the ship's coffers for anything, he's the guy to go to.

[admirably]

Well, that's only the proper thing to do. [ Sure, he's a kissass, but ladies were ladies, period. ]

I'll keep an eye out for Mr. Walker, then. [ He's picturing an elderly person with white hair, natch. ] Do those financials generally cover supplies and maintenance of the ship, or are there other ongoing projects?

[alwayscomeback]

Just don't do it to Toph. She won't appreciate it.

[OH WELL. Allen's sure to love that. ] Usually, yeah, but we have other things, here and there. Stuff that everyone can use. You know? And planets and waystations have those things. Things to make your life here easier.

[admirably]

[ No lady to Toph, then. ]

Then I'm sure whatever efforts you make will be appreciated. Needless to say, this world is rather different from the one I came from.

[ He doesn't see a need to hide his noble stature, though he won't be handing out his title. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[But he's TOTALLY a prince too, Hans. Totally. ]

No problem, mine's completely different too. Your augment helps a lot with understanding stuff, but if you ever need help with anything, we're a good team. We look out for one another.

[admirably]

[ YEAH SURE, RIGHT...a prince among peasants, maybe. ]

If I'm not mistaken, my augment has already supplied me with quite a bit of information that I was not privy to before. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd look the bumbling fool. [ But he smiles. ] Though it will be nice to have a team at my back.

[ Or rather, completely foreign. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[R.U.D.E]

Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure most of us would be lost if we didn't have the augments. [Except Allen's boyfriend. But he likes space a little TOO much. ]

Yeah, we work really well together. Like family, y'know?

[admirably]

[ The word 'family' twists like a knife, but Hans doesn't let his smile flicker for even the slightest of moments. ]

Of course. Like family. I like the sound of that.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka sure doesn't notice. ]

Great! You'll fit in just fine.

[admirably]

I do hope so. [ No, really. ] Is there anything else you'd like to prep me on before I officially join the crew?

[alwayscomeback]

That's about it. But if you need anything, give me a holler and I'll help you out.

[admirably]

I'll be sure to. Thank you, Captain Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

No problemo buddy! And just Sokka is fine. We don't need to be fancy.
