[Steven can be found blasting the media file he got - a certain music video - on constant repeat in the common area. He is dressed in his pajamas and socks, and he will alternate between trying to dance to the song, and just trying to slide around on the new floor with his socks.]

B.

Hey, this is kinda like stuff I have!

[Steven is looking through his gift basket and foraging through what he's gotten. There's a ukulele that's a lot like his; one of the string is broken, but he tugs at one of the working strings to make an experimental noise anyway. He also finds a chipped mug that he smiles warmly at.

He holds up both of the gift items while humming something that sounds like the Zelda item jingle.]

[ and jade will just watch him slide around for a while from the doorway, before she gives herself away with a little giggle. ]

That's a pretty fun song, Stephen.

[jamminshield]

[He smiles bashfully at her.]

Jade! Thanks. That's my dad who's singing! [And he couldn't sound prouder.]

I have seen instruments similar to this, but this seems to be in need of some repair.

[That's sort of disappointing.]

[jamminshield]

It's a ukulele! Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find what we need to fix it somewhere out there. If it just had some new strings, this baby would play fine!

[Once Jennifer had returned to the ship, she left her gift basket in the infirmary without really examining the contents and went to make sure everything was where it should be.

The Wonderduck definitely looked different- brighter, certainly, and then there was the wood panelling- but other than that, everything seemed to be in its place.

She couldn't decide if that comforted her or troubled her. Once back at the infirmary, she left the door open and sat staring at her gift basket with a disgusted look on her face.]

[dancingmd]

[Knock, knock. Beverly leans nonchalantly against the doorjamb to the infirmary.]

Not that I'm not happy to be off the Marsiva but... I miss having you just down the hall.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer turned to smile at her friend and nodded.]

Yeah, I was actually getting used to that, and now, just like that, we're back on our ships.

[thezerothlaw]

Is something wrong?

[Daneel hovers in the doorway, as politely as it's possible to do something like that.]

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer turned into her chair and gave a half smile, half grimace.]

Aside from the cheerful tackiness of a gift basket... I'm almost content, actually.

[Octavia's walking by, but she backtracks and sticks her head inside when she sees the look on the doc's face.]

That bad?

[forsometimenow]

It's not too terrible, actually, just... tacky. Like they expect this to make up for the past month, you know?

[thebarkside]

[ despite herself, jade had actually missed the wonderduck a little. not that it quite felt like 'home,' but it was certainly familiar, and there was comfort in that familiarity. so, she sits in the rec room, legs crossed in her chair with her and studying a deck of cards partially spread out in her lap.

if anyone passes nearby, she'll greet with a smile: ] Hey! Wanna play something?

[cajunspice]

[As part of his little 'thank you' pack, Remy had received a travel size chess set, the kind that used magnets to hold the pieces in place. He saw it as a poor shot at humor, considering his code name, yet he wasn't about to turn down something else that gave them something to do. It seemed only right to leave it in the rec room so all could play it, not just him. Hell, needed a partner to play it anyway.

Spotting Jade in the room, Remy returned her smile before glancing at her cards. As if he would ever turn a game down.] Hey chere, might just take ya up on that.

[thebarkside]

[ she looks a little sheepishly relieved here, before glancing over at the chess set curiously. ]

Ehe, great. Gotta pass the time somehow, right?

[ jade slides the cards back into a single deck, shuffling them a little clumsily. ]

[forsometimenow]

Sure... if you don't mind an easy win.

[feathery]

[Ok, fuck cards or whatever else Jade might be doing. Because it is midnight on the Wonderduck and do you know what day it is?

That's right, motherfuckers. It is December 1st.

Davesprite takes his time popping up in Jade's general vicinity. He doesn't want to seem too eager. It isn't like he has anything to show for it, since the Marsiva reset every night. Made it a little hard to plan any birthday shenanigans.]

Hey.

sometime after jade's birthday post.....

[kotatsu]

[ so there's a tiny child wandering around wonderduck carrying a basket. she sneaks around the hallways, peeking around corners and rooms like she's looking for someone. because she is. for two people, in fact!

what will you do? ]

[thebarkside]

[ she will probably just... peer around a corner at her and smile gently. ]

Hey! Are you looking for something?

[ she'll just.... assume from the way she's sneaking that she's lost or something :I ]

[feathery]

[Here comes Davesprite. Same as usual.



This is...literally what he's doing in the rec area. Birdsprite is chilling on the weight bench with his feet propped up on the bar, playing a game on his communicator. He looks up when Nanako comes in, almost does a double-take, and sits up.]

Whoa, hey. I missed the visitation memo.

[grounds]

[The armory is Octavia's domain at the moment, so when she sees obviously suspicious movement, she has to investigate. So when Nanako's peering around a corner, she walks up behind her and clears her throat. It's not threatening, since she sees only a little girl.]

Can I help you?

[ Isaac has only just arrived on the Wonderduck. bad enough that he had zero time to get used to the SS Huntress before, but at least this place has higher ceilings. he doesn't have to crouch down in the hallways. he's only somewhat confused, wandering the main corridors of the ship trying to find his own room.

he's pretty easy to spot though -- tall, wandering, and wearing a ridiculous scarf over his jumpsuit. it's the small things in life. ]

Uh, hello? I think I'm in the right place...


B.
[ there's noise in the newcomer's room. it can be a little startling, especially since the door is only ajar, and not completely open. it's easy to see in, though.

there is the sound of agonizing screams and growling. maybe there's a roar or two. it sounds awful, like maybe Isaac is even hurt, but in reality he's just found the media Atroma sent him. An American Werewolf in London is very intense, okay. werewolves are serious business. feel free to bother him! he's having a blast. ]

(ooc: clip is of the derpy and weird werewolf transformation from the movie! just a warning!)

A i guess

[grounds]

[The familiar voice is a ping to Octavia, so she pokes her head outside her room to call for him.]

Isaac? What ar-- [She stops, redirecting things. Clearly there's something way more important to address.]

What the hell is that?

B

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer heard screaming coming from somewhere, and she hoped it wasn't one of her crewmates- but nobody else on the ship seemed to be raising any sort of alarm, so she didn't figure it was an emergency.

Finally, she heard some spoken dialogue and realized it was a movie, knocking softly on the door frame.]

Good movie, or are you a bad movie-watcher type?

B

[jamminshield]

[Steven is concerned by these noises. So he immediately bursts into the room, pillow in hand.]

Nooooo!! [Immediately, he throws the pillow at the first person he sees.]
