[Semi-open] Stress finally takes its toll

[padadin]

Who: Shiro and Ulaz, Shiro and you
Broadcast: No
Action: on Duotera (for Ulaz), the SS Blameless (open)
When: Throughout this week
Warnings for the Ulaz thread: Mentions of Shiro's year in captivity, possible mentions of torture, experimentation and losing his arm; Shiro having a panic attack with flashes of said memories.

( Closed to Ulaz )

2. Open - SS Blameless

[Maybe you heard from Ulaz, or from Shiro's teammates, or his crew - or maybe you've just been wondering why Shiro hasn't been around much. But the story is only one: someone finally passed out from all the stress and is now stuck in bed. And hey, maybe you've also been wondering why that someone hasn't taken the captain's room when he's now the only captain of the ship.

Well, wonder no more! Because that's where he is now. You can thank the very tall and very strong purple alien for that.

They haven't moved his stuff yet, but Procyon (now quite bigger and with longer hair) is there with him, taking advantage of the bigger bed and taking care of his master at the same time. And Shiro does have his communicator and tablet, because resting isn't a word he knows of.

He's bored, alright.

So if you're visiting him, you'll find him going through documents on his tablet. Please stop him before stress starts going up again.

Or maybe you are just passing by for whatever reason, making your way through the Blameless' slippery hallways. Since the captain's room currently has the door open (you can also thank the alien for that), Shiro will see you walk by and take the chance to speak up.]

Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor, please? [He almost sounds... ashamed? To be asking this. He feels silly asking for little things he could be doing himself, okay.]

Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Iskaulit
When: Early February


[The scene: The swimming pool on the Iskaulit. The players: Lance (dressed in his favorite blue swimming trunks) and...something splashing about in the water. The aforementioned person is grinning widely at the screen, his hair wet and plastered against his face, skin damp.]

Everyooooone! I can't believe I didn't introduce you all to my new best buddy--okay, one of my new best buddies, no offense to current best buddies. I met him on Selvin-9, and he was too adorable to leave behind. Hang on, lemme grab him--

[Lance kneels down next to the water and gives a little whistle. A small, brown shape swims over, and Lance scoops him up into his arms before moving back to the camera. It's a young otter, looking absolutely adorable, as baby otters should.]

Everyone meet Oliver the otter! He's incredibly cute, he's fast, and he's a great swimmer. Me and him have a ton alike, obviously. We're usually at the Iskaulit every day for a swim, so come say hi sometime!

And This One Was Just Right!

Action: On the planets
When: Through Feb (until something happens >.>)

So if anyone would like to join me, I'm going to take one of the shuttles and do a small spin around the binary stars and get a look at them. Nothing dangerous, but a binary star system with three habitable worlds - admittedly two of them with narrow zones, but still - is incredibly rare and I want to take this opportunity to get as much data as we can.

So yeah, I'll be going out periodically, and I would love company, if anyone wants to come along. You will have to put up with me dropping into a lot of science geekery. And that's a warning, not an apology.
