[curiositykilledthecats]

[Your resident tiny, tiny adult is taking advantage of the return to immediately find her sword and shield again and make sure they're unchanged. If you're looking for her, she can be found on the bridge of the ship, polishing them.]

[princessia]

[ Elize is roaming the ship with her brand new(?) doll her arms, checking on her crewmates. She doesn't remember seeing Miah with a sword and shield before, even though she told her that she's a paladin. She assumes she received a gift from their hosts as well. ]

...Did you just find that here too?

[curiositykilledthecats]

I did not.

[She pockets her polishing rag, pulling out a small white container.]

This was what I found left in my room. I had not realized we had all received such gifts.

[frigidaire]

[ Isaac is still new to this whole "you're on a spaceship" thing, and he pauses when he sees her polishing her sword and shield. he really wanted to go back to his room, but ... ]

That's not threatening at all.

[ he's new, forgive him. he's not always a jerk. but maybe it's the height of the ceiling that makes this 6'2" newbie cranky. ]

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Miah has to look way up to see him- She's 4'11, not counting the cat ears (and her outfit probably deserves some note too). Another new person? She has to wonder where they all came from.]

... That is good? It is not meant to be.

[Also, she may not be the best with sarcasm.]

[princessia]

[ When Elize goes to check on all of her belongings, she finds something that wasn't there before: a stuffed animal that has the exact same likeness as Teepo. The difference is that its coloration is different and doesn't float like the original Teepo.

She can be found in her personnel room, drawing or doodling on a piece of paper. When she holds up her drawing to ask the doll for its opinion, it speaks in a childish voice with a prerecorded message:

"My name is Hoppo! Will you all be my friends?"

Frowning at the response, she sets her drawing back down and returns to adding some finishing touches to it.

When not drawing, she can be found taking a nap on the couch, cuddling the doll in her arms.

While the ship's docked on the waystations, she can be found poking through the shops for anything useful or in the courtyard. If dropping by the courtyard, she brought out a few pieces of her little tea set and has it set up on a picnic table. ]

naptime!!!

[serves]

[Creepy dolls aside, why nap on a couch when you have a perfectly good bed? Not that Cullen has it in him to wake her right now, though he might accidentally as he pulls a blanket over her, tucking it around her. And... the doll.]

[princessia]

[ Because she doesn't feel like traveling down the hallway to her bedroom. Feeling the blanket placed over her, she stirs in her sleep. She shifts awake, squinting tiredly at Cullen. ]

...Daddy?

[ And her voice triggers Hoppo to speak again: "Hello! My name is Hoppo! Will you all be my friends? ]

[princessia]

[ And oops, I forgot Hoppo's reference link is wrong... here's the right one! Too late to edit my fail. orz ]

waystation!!!!

[dawnwillcome]

[It's not a very big surprise to see Elize on her own on like this, but ever since hearing about her near kidnapping it's not something Jove is particularly in love with seeing. She knows Elize can handle herself, and that she'll be even better at doing exactly that with Cassandra's lessons, but it still doesn't sit quite right.

If someone had told her months ago she'd come to feel this protective over a shemlen child, Jove would have laughed herself sick. She'd go out of her way to see to it than any child was safe, but this? This would have been unthinkable if it weren't for Atroma bringing her here.]

Hello, da'len. [There's that elvish word pet name she'd taken to using for Elize again, something close to little one but with a much more familial feeling to it.] Have you found anything exciting to buy?

[princessia]

[ She still doesn't know what da'len means, even though it's not the first time she heard it from Jove. Yet she automatically responds to the name regardless. ]

Jove!

[ When Elize turns to look up at her with a smile, the staff that she's holding near her side becomes more noticeable. It's the staff that Jove crafted for her awhile back, with a little ribbon added on the end of it, a finishing touch by Elize. Now she can bludgeon shady people with her staff and punch like Cassandra when they get close. ]

Not really.

[ She pokes through a rack of casual clothes with the end of her staff. Nothing but plain t-shirts, jeans, and shorts in boring colors. ]

I've seen these before at the other waystations.

personnel room.

[sinuosity]

That is disturbing.

[ She is staring at the doll, peering over Elize to get a good look at it, but her attention shifts quickly enough. ]

Hello, Elize. I trust you are well?

[princessia]

Huh?

[ She looks up from her desk. Whatever is disturbing flies over her head. For some reason, Hoppo strikes her as very adorable. Though, the majority would agree with Nyssa that her doll is very disturbing. ]

Oh, Nyssa. Hello. [ An awkward smile. ] I'm well. I'm glad to be back on my ship.

[steeledskin]

[ the young westerosi woman with the dark hair doesn't necessarily integrate well with the rest of her crew. mostly, she keeps to herself. often, she leaves to visit one of the other ships -- though she never discusses which one. at the very least, she seems heartbroken that of all the people she'd met back on the marsiva...not a one is part of this ship.

so she keeps her own company, often in the kitchen. today she's poking 'round the cupboards and looking for something hot to drink. ]

[curiositykilledthecats]

[A new crewmate at this timing seems quite strange, so Miah ends up tailing this girl to the kitchen. Her feline ears twitch as she watches, but... This girl doesn't seem like an intruder.]

Is aught amiss?

[steeledskin]

O-oh? [ a turn of her head; a look of chagrin. sansa bites her bottom lip and folds her hands together whenever she realizes she's been caught out by one of the other crew-members. she shakes her head. ] No. Not at all. Only I...I'm looking for something, my lady.

[princessia]

[ Elize spends most of her time in her personnel room, but whenever she does leave, the kitchen is one of the other places she does drop by. She has to eat sometime.

When she sees the unfamiliar woman searching through the cupboards, she looks in surprise. She hadn't realized the Huntress received a new crewmate. ]

Um... excuse me?

[steeledskin]

[ she pulls her fingers from the cupboard door as if scalded. back on the marsiva, everything had been -- communal, and open. and now that she's here, she wonders whether she's even allowed to touch any of these things.

her chagrin registers as a deep flush in her cheeks. ] I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't be nosy, only...

[ she frowns. ]

[sinuosity]

​[ There's a shadow here on the ship, looking for her. Nyssa isn't making inquiries, she's just getting to know the other ships — she expects to know who she's looking for when she sees them. ]

​[ Sansa is in the kitchen, and Nyssa fills up the doorway. Empty quiver. Empty scabbards. Just the bow and the black and red, to mark who she is. ]

What are you looking for?

[steeledskin]

[ she stiffens at the voice. sansa doesn't know it -- nor, really, does she know the woman's appearance. but when she turns away from the cupboard and studies the speaker, she can't help but feel...familiar to her. something in the woman's very bearing is recognizable. it tightens sansa's throat and makes her stomach flip-flop. ]

S-something to eat. [ and, as if on cue, her stomach growls. sansa is no cook -- and barely deigns to consider cooking for herself. but there must at least be a crust of breath left somewhere in the kitchen. ]

[frigidaire]

You trying to find something decent to eat, too?

[ not that all of the food is bad, but it's not exactly great, either. he misses crappy take-out and terrible school food. he didn't think it could get worse, but weird gel-food and powdered substitutes? no thank you. he's new and still a little cranky about it. sorry. ]

[digthefuzz]

A.

[Kurt's been in cryosleep until just after everyone returned to their ships.

So right now, he's pacing in a thoughtful stupor as he tries to reflect on those odd dreams he remembers from before the cryo-sleep.

...And then this tall blue guy bumps his head on the ceiling.]

B.

[Eventually the German blue mutant decides to check out the new swag, though. He looks into the basket and pulls out a tasty and greasy looking burger.]

A breakfast gut bomb?! For real?! [He looks so excited, but also suspicious. So he'll just hold onto it for a moment and eye it warily while he checks out this whole 'media file' thing on the network. Maybe it's a tv show he misses from home...

Nope. It's this song, and it quickly inspires Kurt to groan.]

Haha, very funny...

C.

[Feel free to catch him around the ship! He'll otherwise be spending a lot of time in the kitchen or lounging around. He's Communications but doesn't really practice much regarding that.

You may also catch him teleporting from another room. In which case he'll appear in a cloud of smoke, accompanied by the smell of brimstone.]

B.

[frigidaire]

[ Isaac should probably be more wary of blue, German-sounding creatures, but already on this ship he's seen more confusing creatures. well, and as a werewolf himself, he's definitely seen stranger things. ]

It's pretty funny, actually. Glad to know someone around here has a sense of humor.

[ the new member of the Huntress really should be a little more warm and kind, but better to prevent the false pretenses altogether. ]

It's a pretty annoying song, though.

New Arrival - 12/5

[ragazzina]

[So. This is the S.S. Huntress, huh? Well, after everything her stay on the Marsiva decided to be, Suzie's more than happy to finally be out of the Hospitality Deck and onto her assigned Tiny Ship™ proper. And with a fanfare and confetti, no less!

So, the first thing to do is clearly to try and get the lay of the land, which means you might see her wandering the Huntress for the sake of getting her bearings; once she does, however, she'll be settling in happily in the kitchen, because holy shit no one understands how badly her Italian sensibilities have been offended by a good week's worth of nothing but nutrient paste and if she doesn't get some Real Actual Cooking™ in soon she's going to take a page out of Caesar's book and hit somebody with a wrench.

...Say hello to your new Engineer On Board, everyone, she's tiny and blonde and here to mingle with you.]

[princessia]

[ It's when Elize steps out of her personnel room to find her new crewmate roaming the ship. She has her creepy purple doll in one arm and her fluffy hair is looking a bit messy. She must have napped through the fanfare that was playing earlier, so she can't help but look surprised to see the new face. ]

H-hello...
