Who: Tekhetsio and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: Way-station!
When: Nebulously sometime after they're all back on their ships

network etc.

[aside from antics within the calibrations, Tek hasn't been seen much. on the Marsiva, he'd mostly holed himself up in his room, hiding from the rest of the Fleet as much as he could. and upon returning to his ship, he had slept for several days. but, apparently all of his hermiting has not been enough of an escape. so, after waking up and doing a little bit of spontaneous redecorating, he boards one of the shuttles (which he normally avoids touching) and wordlessly sets off into the darkness of space.

he flies far, and he flies without explanation. he gets as absolutely as far away as he can from his own ship and from the Marsiva. and while he does so, he logs onto the network and sends out a broadcast, calmly reciting something that has been haunting him for several weeks--]


--To see an almost certain horrible death... you know how crowds all sit at the edge of their seats, praying subconsciously for a spectacular accident--and then to be whisked away from it so suddenly--brought to the edge of tragedy, and then to have their better natures win out, showing them how much nicer they always knew they were... that was the supreme thrill.


and then on some way-station

[when he finally lands, it's on some nameless way-station. out here, he can at least pretend to be somewhere else. and to complete the illusion, he is wearing a completely different face and form when he exits the shuttle.

today, as Tekhetsio spends hours wandering the way-station and pretending to be interested in the automated shops, it is done as a woman. just as unnaturally flawless as Tek's male form is, the woman perusing the way-station's wares and lounging with a book in the plastic park is built to be gorgeous-- with long dark waves of hair and curves in all of the conventionally desirable places.

and she seems friendly, at least. she offers polite smiles to anyone who happens to glance her way, and slightly more inviting expressions to anyone who seems to be appreciating the view. because this girl likes being looked at, and isn't shy about making that fact very clear.]

[that's good, because Robin is absolutely not blatantly admiring her low-cut shirt and everything it's not covering.]

Oh, I believe it...

[...but if he had been staring at her chest (not that he was), this is where he tears his eyes away so that he can look her smirkily in the eyes instead.]

Would you allow me the honor of making up for where others have fallen so short?

[and while it's a lovely view, she's gone and challenged his honor... so he draws back enough to look playfully surprised, pressing his hand under his collar.]

Who, me? The upstanding citizen that I am?

[which he punctuates with a grin, hopping deftly over the back of the bench to sit himself down next to her.]

Maybe I'm weak when it comes to gorgeous women... But I'm always up for a challenge.

[it's only going to get better (or worse) from here. he holds out his hand, as hers are both tucked behind her head, at the moment.]

And to keep it, I'll accompany you on a walk. If you don't mind, zhassa, I'd like to see if there's anything else on this station even nearly fitting of your beauty.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ noooo stoooop that's gaaaay)

[and as if he wasn't ready to set half the Drift Fleet on fire out of principle, he takes her hand and pauses to press a little kiss against her fingers. see? gentleman!

time to guide her up and see what trouble they can get into...]
