[Allen for one, was relieved to wake up back in his own quarters. If he never had to spend another day on the Marsiva, it would be lovely]

[And so after checking up on his fish (all accounted for!), he heading into the hallways of the ship to check on his crew. Timcanpy follows behind him, clearly enjoying all the extra space to fly around in. Allen too, is noticing some of the changes in the ship]

Is this ship...more lit than I remember?

[summerschild]

[Bran wheels out of his bedroom, something small and made of straw lying across his lap. He peers around at the walls, curious.]

It feels larger. Atroma must have changed it.

[save_the_souls]

[There's one! He'll approach, smiling at Bran]

Mm, it does seem less cramped. Maybe they decided to finally give us more room?

[bolder]

[As Allen's going down the hall, Toph exits the bridge. Things haven't been as smooth as normal since the Noah incident, so she's been giving him space. For reasons.

But now that they're back on the Blue Fish, she knows she can't steer away from him forever. Still, it won't be her normal jabbing and mockery. Not yet.]

Dunno, but it feels different. Not larger exactly, but like rooms have a little more space.

[save_the_souls]

[Allen had noticed her avoidance on the Marsiva after the Noah incident, even if it hadn't fully surprised him. But for now, he's willing to put that aside to focus on what matters at the moment- the ship. Which if anyone would know the changes done to the ship- it'd be her]

A little more space without it being larger? Like they rearranged things?

[alwayscomeback]

[He's missed the Blue Fish so much. Best ship, best ship forever. ]

Maybe we got better lighting for being the greatest ship in the fleet. A reward, y'know?

[save_the_souls]

[He grins a little when Sokka says that]

I'd accept that!

Do the halls seem bigger too?

[summerschild]

[Bran can be found in the bridge, his wheelchair parked near one of the windows. He seems to be focusing intently on the screen of his communicator, from which some quiet 8-bit music is playing. He doesn't quite get the point of Snake - would a snake truly die if it ran into its own tail? - but it passes the afternoon. The Marsiva might have been a bit sinister, but he enjoyed getting to be close to all of his friends there.

As the game beeps Game Over at him again, he looks up at you and wrinkles his nose a bit.]

I miss the television, a bit.

[ sansa visits her brother. she visits him often and enthusiastically, though she still maintains her residency upon the ship onto which the atroma first shuffled her. the maiden who so rarely smiles allows herself so much happiness when in bran's company -- although some portion of her soul remains muted and pained. especially now that tyrion lannister has joined the fleet's number.

today, she sits not far from his wheelchair. she doesn't always need to speak to him -- often, being around him is enough to soothe her. a small bit of embroidery work sits in her lap. now and again, however, she glanced up and addresses her kin and her host: ] What's a television?

[summerschild]

It's a magic box.

[He holds up his communicator to point at the screen.]

A bit like this, only bigger, and you can watch stories.

[He looks content - an expression that hasn't been on his face much in the year and a half since his fall. Of course he would prefer to be living in the company of Sansa, but the Blue Fish is at full capacity, and he doesn't want to leave Allen and Toph. Sansa's frequent visits are nice, though. There is something sad behind her smile, but he tries to bring it out as often as he can.]

[bolder]

Me too.

[Toph's relaxing at the helm, leaning back in her pilot's chair with her feet up on the dashboard.]

It was fun to stand in front of it and pretend I didn't know what was happening.

[summerschild]

[Oh. Toph's talking to him again. Bran is a little hesitant, but he turns his wheelchair to face the front of the ship.]

Could you see them with your feet?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka offers an encouraging smile. ]

Don't worry about it, Bran. Maybe we can pick one up at the next Waystation or planet or something. You never know. We might just strike out lucky.

[summerschild]

Do you think they might have one?

[Bran looks up at him with intense hope!]

I want to watch the movie about the sharks again.

[admirably]

[ So, this is the Blue Fish, at last.

...Well, it's no royal palace, that's for certain.

Eager to get his bearings and familiarize himself with the ship, Hans moves about the various rooms, making note of anything peculiar (well, relatively peculiar, anyway) and looking out for familiar and unfamiliar faces.

He will approach anyone with a polite smile, a slight bow, and a friendly greeting.

After all, these are the people he will be living with: good impressions are everything. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[OH HEY! SIDEBURNS!!! Sokka sliiides over with a grin, snapping his fingers. ]

Hans! Hey! How're you settling in? Was I right about this being the best ship or was I right?

[admirably]

[ A warm chuckle. Sup, Captain. ]

You certainly were right. I've never had such a warm welcome before.

[save_the_souls]

[After checking out his ship again, Allen has a chance to settle down at the now bigger kitchen table with a cup of tea as he starts to go through the network. When Hans steps in the room, it doesn't go unnoticed. He looks up and upon seeing the unfamiliar face, he gives a smile]

Ah- hello! Are you Hans?

[admirably]

[ This, evidently, must be the kitchen. That's quite the table, isn't it? The crew must be fan of eating together. Like a family. How sickeningly sweet.

Hans greets Allen with a friendly smile. ]

Yes, I am! The newest member of your crew. And you would be?

[dancingmd]

[Beverly can be found in their new kitchen!!! With a big table!! No more squishing against each other at meal time!!! She is happy to be back with her Fishies though she will miss not having her other friends right around the corner. Her gift basket... Well her gift basket has kind of ruined her good mood a bit, though she is trying not to let it as she sips on some tea and munches on some of the treats Atroma left. There is a book on the table in front of her called "How To Advance Your Career Through Marriage." It isn't the copy, hers and Jack's, but it's close enough.

She stares at the book, chewing slowly as she contemplates what to do with it.]

[catamite]

[it takes him a while to recover from the whole Marsiva adventure and get settled in his own ship again, before he finally goes exploring. as usual, he waits until they're parked on a way station, when it's easy to board while people are bustling in and out.

so, there really isn't any warning at all when he shows up in the kitchen, wandering over to lean on the edge of the table to see what she's reading--]

[dancingmd]

[At this point, Beverly is never really that surprised to see Nel appear out of nowhere, though this time, she is immensely relieved to see him. They haven't talked since the kidnapping: somehow, he'd managed to make himself scarce on the Marsiva, and she's been worried ever since.]

Nel! Where have you been? I've missed seeing you...

Visitor, about a week after everyone was brought back

[geonomy]

[He's pretty sure Blue Fish still doesn't have a cook, and while he knows some people here can cook, that's still a lot of mouths to feed, so Clay decides to hop on over one day. He's immediately noticing that there's more space, which makes him feel excited and awed, and even while he cooks, he can't help looking around at the extra bit of room.

If anyone from the Blue Fish is up and about early afternoon, they'll find Clay in the kitchen whipping up a rather large meal using a mix of the food Atroma provides as well as borrowing a few of the ingredients that the crew gathered (though not too much, wouldn't want to run out or anything). There's some for the meat eaters, some for the omnivores, and some for the vegetarian(s). Whatever fills your fancy! If any other cook wants to get in here, from Blue Fish or Vanquish or whatever, they definitely can - Blue Fish has a lot of mouths and Allen's bottomless stomach to feed, after all!

All he'll ask for in return is some coffee for his crew. He must provide life nourishment for his young.]

[summerschild]

[Bran wheels in with a characteristic look of wonder, taking in both the visitor and his busy activities. He recognizes Clay from the Marsiva - he saw him together with Allen many times, and they appeared to be in some manner of courtship. Curious to learn more about this young man, he stops to watch.]

What are you cooking?

hello fellow visitor

[catamite]

[even though Nel visits the Blue Fish on a fairly regular basis, he only has a vague idea of who actually lives there. and as far as he still understands, the Blue Fish always has a cook... so when he wanders in to find this guy cooking away, he just assumes that he belongs there.

and as such, he's shy about intruding. he'll just quietly edge his way in, trying to stay out of the way, curiously watching from a safe distance... but he totally has a hoping-to-mooch look on his face.]
