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.]

[Joseph's unsure how to feel about that. Or rather, he feels a little repulsed and kinda scared by either prospect even though he doesn't know much about priesthoods. But he doesn't want to seem like a little kid. You know, despite being a little kid all the same. It's hard for him to erase all the uneasiness as he swallows hard, lifting his chin and trying not to look bothered by any of it while still having a very worried brow.]

But if they found a buncha skeletons, why would they stay?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[oh, he didn't mean to scare him... he laughs a little.]

People do very strange things. Maybe they just wanted to prove that they were brave.

[which is the kind of thought that prompts him to take another look around. it's then that he actually catches the helpful detail painted in front of the chest. Jojo. he remembers that name.]

Oh. [but just to check, he points.] That's your name? Jojo?

[nextlineis]

[Joseph is busy considering what Robin's said, brow furrowed as he mulls it over about proving that they're brave. That seems like a really risky thing to prove if you're planning on staying somewhere for good. It'd be one thing if it was just proving to your friends you could stay the night or something, but to actually stay forever and ever?]

[He perks up when he hears his name though before nodding. He looks quite proud of this fact, too.]

Mmmhm! Well, it's actually Joseph, but everyone calls me Jojo.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, that's a great name!

[what a funny repetition--he holds his own face, grinning wide.]

Nice to meet you then, Jojo. I didn't mean to interrupt your playing or anything, but you've been fun.

[nextlineis]

[Damn straight it's a great name! Seriously, don't start in with the dodo stuff or this kid will have a freaking meltdown of epic proportions. As it is, he just grins wide and proud.]

You can play with me if you want!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[no dodos this time. only joy. because he wasn't actually expecting the offer to let him stay, or anything...]

Oh, I could? You wouldn't mind?

[nextlineis]

Course not!

[Joseph is not the best at sharing by any stretch of the imagination. He's possessive and frequently selfish. But there are times where he's a little more willing. You know, when it's his idea.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

...Okay!

[well, Robin may as well be twelve, because he finally slides out of the chair to kneel down on the floor next to him. it doesn't occur to him that this is... weird.]

What's the game? What're we playing?

[nextlineis]

[It's a little weird, but only because Robin looks like a grown-up. Most grown-ups would just get up out of the chair and then maybe join him on the floor. Maybe. Some might still prefer standing up. So, Joseph cocks his head to one side a little confused, but not in the least bit perturbed about playing with him.]

What games do you know?
