002; i'm pulling my questions from my shelf

[truthvalue]

Who: Souji Seta and ... you???
Broadcast: Network; open
Action: Marsiva; kitchen; open
When: The evening of the 12th.

[Souji turns on the camera, gives it an absent glance, then sets it off to the side before returning his attention to the simmering pot on the stove in front of him.]

Seta here ... I have a question. I'm wondering, is it possible - assuming we eventually return to our assigned ships - to transfer to a different one?

[He taps the stirring spoon on the edge of the pot, then replaces the lid and turns the heat down to just below simmer.]

Also, there's a new pot of stew in the kitchen. Please come by if you're hungry.

[ wanders in ]

That smells amazing.

[truthvalue]

[Souji's already spooning some stew into a bowl for her.]

Hello, Nova.

[takeabow]

Why, how did you know?

[truthvalue]

Mm, just had a hunch.

[placing the bowl and a spoon on the counter in front of her with a small smile]

How have you been?

[punchingly]

[ She taps her finger against her cheek. ]

Someone transferred to our ship. So I think there is a way. But I am not sure how you manage it; she showed up not knowing why she had come there.

[truthvalue]

[That's a little worrisome; Souji frowns slightly.]

She didn't know why she'd been transferred? So it wasn't voluntary?

video

[punchingly]

No. She thought she had ended up on the Bishop by accident.

[ Shaking her head; she still doesn't understand it. ]

Perhaps someone has a voluntary reason.

[truthvalue]

Hm. [He nods.] All right. Thank you. I'll keep asking.

[Cheese will wander into the kitchen, cast a glance at the stew, before settling to rummage about in the cabinets for something to eat for those of a more herbivorous bent. He glances up from his search at the question, though. ]

Sure can. You just fill in some paperwork and on the next shuffle.

[He pulls confetti out of nowhere, throwing itnto the air so it showers down on Souji. Enjoy that, man. That's exactly what it's like. ]

Boom. You're on your new ship.

Action

[truthvalue]

[Souji blinks, straightfaced. The confetti ... well, it's not how people usually tend to answer a question.]

What sort of paperwork? Where do you find it?

Action

[preformthisneigh]

[Cheese seems to think the confetti answered a big deal of things without answering them. He tilts his head to one side at the question. ]

Uhh. I think you request it and it just appears? I don't know for sure, I never had to do it. I'm happy with my crew.

Action

[truthvalue]

Who do you request it from?

[Souji calmly brushes the confetti off his shoulders, out of his hair.]

I'm not unhappy with my crew - I'd just like to stick close to my cousin.

[sinuosity]

Presumably we do, else being assigned seems pointless.

What is in the stew?

video;

[truthvalue]

It's a little bit of everything I've been able to find in the kitchen.

[He picks up the comm device and tilts the camera into the pot, so she can at least see that it looks ... basically like stew.]

There's plenty here if you'd like to try some. I haven't poisoned anyone yet, to my knowledge.

[That's ... mostly a joke, but he says it fairly deadpan.]

[sinuosity]

[ Instead of replying, Nyssa just. Shows up, at the kitchen, utterly silent, peering into the stew. ]

It smells fine. I'll have some.

action;

[truthvalue]

[Oh ... that's impressive. Souji doesn't startle much outwardly, just blinks a few times, then smiles and starts dishing up a bowl of stew to hand to her.]

It should taste OK too, I think.

[goldenglasses]

I'll be there in five minutes!

[FREE FOOD!]

[truthvalue]

[In four and a half minutes, there's a steaming bowl of stew and a spoon laid out waiting. Souji smiles and nods at his arrival.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is very pleased by this efficiency! He claps his hands in delight and sits down.] Oh boy! This looks super tasty! Thanks a lot!

[ "seta," he says... weiss is 99% certain he is the same "seta" that nanako has identified as her "big bro." it makes sense, given his sudden question regarding the transferring between ships. nanako had made mention of doing the same herself, hadn't she?

clearing her throat, weiss plasters on a polite smile. ]

Are you thinking of joining Nanako on the Three Twins?

video

[truthvalue]

[Souji nods, stirring.]

Possibly. Or else having Nanako transfer to mine. You met her when she first arrived?

[Could this be the Hinata she'd mentioned who helped her?]

video

[multiglyphs]

[ weiss shakes her head a little. alas, no. ]

The other way around, actually. I believe I arrived a few days after her, and she'd been quite kind in offering to help me get settled. We're of the same crew, it seems.

[ a pause. ]

For now, at least.

[resnipstance]

What kind of stew?

[truthvalue]

Mulligan stew. Nothing fancy, just a little bit of everything I've been able to find in the kitchen.

[resnipstance]

I don't know what that is, but it sounds like it has meat in it, so I'm there!

Seriously. Be right there. Save some for me.
