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!

[Nah. Hell nah.

She's not sure what to do, but she's got some half-formed ideas... For now, though, she's just going to lightly squeeze his hands, to remind him that she's here. Opaque darkness seems like a bad thing, so she's gonna try to keep him grounded.]

[limitstorm]

[ her tightened grip has him flinching just once, and the darkness starts to lighten, the crease in his brow lifting so he's just focused.

right. he's not alone. he can do this. he can--

he opens his eyes and exhales, the smoke drifting away. ]

I... think I've got it. [ he chances a little smile at her, then. ] For now, anyway. Thanks.

[experiencepoints]

You actually have it, or you're worried about being an inconvenience, so you're ending this before you're really ready?

[limitstorm]

[ ERK ]

What the... what'dyou have, telepathy?

[experiencepoints]

[you know what riku

it's time to let go of your hands to SMOOSH YOUR FACE AGAIN]

I've been doing that since I was in elementary school, do you think I won't notice someone doing my trick?

[... well, normally, no she wouldn't. But, in this case, she remembers him in her heart, and how sympathetic he was to her... How he understood her.]

1/2

[limitstorm]

Agh, no--

[ NOT THE SMOOSHING ]

2/2

[limitstorm]

I know we're not that different, but come on... you've gotta be bored. You're holding hands with some weirdo you met in your dreams and touched your stuff.

[experiencepoints]

At this rate, I'm going to ask Magpie to sit on you until you stop that protesting.

I said I'm going to help you, so why would I stop halfway?

[limitstorm]

Magp--

Marhi? Don't get Marhi!

[experiencepoints]

Oh, you've met her? That makes things easier, then.

[limitstorm]

Ugh. Fine.

[ hands back out. ]

Don't blame me if your nose starts itching or something.

[experiencepoints]

I can deal with an itchy nose. But I don't think you can deal with not getting this taken care of.
