play a jingle, it's a mingle!

[geonomy]

Who: Vanquish crew and visitors
Broadcast: why
Action: Anywhere on board the Vanquish!
When: 11/25 and on!

[The ship is looking classier and cooler now, and what's this? Nice little gifts? Say it ain't so! Surely this must take some investigating!

Or, rather, some mingling! Haha!]

[in the kitchen, Pearl is dumping out her gift basket onto the table. The chocolate and the dried fruit immediately get pushed to the side. She considers the pair of light blue slippers for a moment and then sets it in the middle. And then finally, she's inspecting a mug, a teapot, and a tin of tea.

Heh. She can use this.]

[B]
[when they've landed at a way-station, Pearl can be found in a corner of the courtyard Utena-ing it up fencing with a hologram version of herself. She's focused, but she doesn't look particularly engaged. It can only get so interesting when you're basically fighting your own shadow.

...And yup. She has armed Holopearl with a real sword.]

[C]
[anything goes!]

[touchofrogue]

[Rubbing one eye sleepily, an unwrapped chocolate bar in her other gloved hand, Rogue makes her way into the kitchen.]

Hey, Pearl. Got anythin' good?

[stickupherforehead]

I got some tea. [and tea related paraphernalia.]

Do you want some? I'm about to make a pot.

[Atroma is annoying, but she seems okay with accepting this gift.]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue takes a small bite of her chocolate.]

I don't want ya ta waste supplies on me when you've got somethin' you enjoy... but maybe I'll take a tiny little sip in a cup, just ta share it with ya?

[After all, it wasn't like Pearl actually ate much... or... at all.]

[stickupherforehead]

[nahhh, you're totally getting at least a decent amount of tea.]

It's always nicer to share something you like. [according to some cinnamon roll or another. And she's getting up to start boiling hot water.]

Do you like that stuff? [Pearl nods towards the chocolate.] Do you want mine?

[touchofrogue]

Chocolate? [Rogue's eyes widened.] Yeah, I'd say so. It's one of my favorite things ta eat. Have ya ever tried it?

[She knew Pearl didn't eat, but if she drank, then... maybe...]

[stickupherforehead]

No, I haven't.

[here's a precise spoonful of tea leaves going into the teapot] You're welcome to it.

[touchofrogue]

If ya like tea, ya might like chocolate? But if ya don't, or ya don't wanna try it, then I'll take it an' thank you.

[Pearl, you're the best. You're the honest best.]

[stickupherforehead]

[nope, she just tries to suppress a shudder]

It's all for you. I don't like how food turns into mush.

[and it feels so weird]

[touchofrogue]

Well, I ain't gonna argue if you really don't like it. [Chocolaaaate.

Rogue moves to add it to her horde.] What kinda tea did they give ya?

[stickupherforehead]

[good, good. This way she won't have to vacillate between putting it away somewhere and leaving it out for people to take.]

Jasmine, from the looks of it.

[a good choice for somebody who likes the smell of it. And she's pouring it into an extra mug and the cool new one she just got.]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue brightens. She actually likes Jasmine Tea.

Rogue catches sight of that new mug and smiles a little.]

They give ya that too?

[stickupherforehead]

[eheh]

It'll be hard to prove, but I appreciate the thought.

[Clay had peeked into the courtyard to see what was going on... Then went straight back to the ship.

Only to come back, pool cue he'd accidentally swiped from the dusty moon in hand. He watches Pearl at a distance with a big, excited grin while he holds the cue with both hands, even bouncing on the heels of his feet a little and quietly cheering her on.

When there seems to be a pause, Clay grins and gets up on his tiptoes to yell out:]

That was awesome!

[stickupherforehead]

[Pearl finishes off Holopearl (somebody learned her lesson), leaving it to lay quietly on the floor, before looking up to see who was shouting.

And here's a grin and a slight flush.] Was it? I was just practicing.
