[save_the_souls]

[Allen, of course, is completely ignoring Zuko's little sign. He isn't paying Zuko for something he never asked for, after all.]

[Instead now with the holidays over- Allen's more focused on gathering supplies for when they inevitably leave this planet. Throughout the days, it's not unusual to find him coming aboard- hauling a large amount of supplies with him- usually an amount that'd be far too much for anyone without superstrength to haul. Meat, Non-perishable foods, salt, ship parts, medical supplies - being here over a year has made him pretty good at figuring out what they need to remain comfortable while traveling.]

[Though one day, you may find that he's left the cargo bay doors open longer than usual. If you step outside to inspect, he can be found just a few feet away from the ship's landing dock. The supply of he was carrying in has been discarded and he's crouched down- happily playing with one of those stray arctic foxes that has clearly come to inspect the meat.]

[dancingmd]

[No doubt Allen will hear Beverly before he sees her coming. Or rather... he'll hear the loud admonishments of a pair of disgruntled cats who have been cruelly abandoned, left to be fed only once a day and given no bedtime cuddles. The Travesty!!! Now that Beverly has moved back to her quarters, they refuse to let her out of their sight, trailing behind her wherever she goes on the ship. As she enters the cargo bay, she admonishes them.]

You've been fed twice today already!

[Mrow! It's not enough! It's never enough! Also please pet us!

Upon sight of the fox, however, their demeanors immediately change. Alicia's fur goes up before he bolts out of the room, no doubt to hide under Beverly's bed. Slay, more curious, slinks forward, tail twitching, but Beverly swiftly gathers him in her arms before he can do anything she'll regret.]

[To Allen:] Sorry! I didn't realize you had a friend with you! [She smiles down at the fox while Slay tries to climb up her shoulder.] He's a cutie!

[honorbends]

[ zuko himself is

ready to close said cargo bay doors

when he notices allen is playing with a fox.

zuko makes a face and steps down the ramp, shoving his hands into his pockets. ]

Are you feeding them too?

[ al has an entire army of them ]

[admirably]

[ Guess who's single better from his cold and ready to mingle? Hans has been cooped up in his room for too long, and the new crew members are little more than an excuse for him to go about the ship and remind everyone how much they missed his presence while he was down with the flu!

Aside from general meeting and greeting, Hans can be found in the kitchen, searching somewhat haplessly through the cupboards for something - anything - that isn't food paste, blech. ]

I'm almost tempted to switch augments just for the kitchen upgrades... [ No seriously this peasant food of the future is going to kill him. ]

[save_the_souls]

[It's almost magic, how Allen always seems to know when someone's in the kitchen. It's like he has super hearing just for those cupboard doors. Or maybe he was just passing through- who knows. But he'll be in the doorway, looking amused]

Don't say that too loudly if you're not serious, Sokka might fill out the paperwork for you.

Visiting~

[thebloodseal]

[There had been a lot of meat left over from the hunting Al had done, even after stocking his own ship as much as he could. So he decided to pay a visit to his friends on the Blue Fish and deliver them a gift- a late Christmas gift, he reasoned, after learning about the holiday, which didn't exist in his own world.

He hoped to be discreet about it, but in all honesty, it was very difficult for him to be discreet about anything. Especially when it was so hard to not stop and play with foxes.]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen can hear the metal shuffling onto the ship. He goes to inspect, thinking it's possibly Sokka trying to haul spare parts and need the help. So while Al is in the cargo bay, Allen will step into the room, Timcanpy riding on his shoulder]

Oh, hello Alphonse! [He smiles] What brings you to the Blue Fish?

[alwayscomeback]

[There are two things here that attract Sokka's attention. The obvious one is all the metal clunking about his ship, the less obvious one to most other than Sokka is the knowledge MEAT has arrived. He beams when he sees who it is, playing about with the dumb fox, but whatever. ]

Al! Hey buddy, glad you're here. [He wanders past a crate and starts rummaging about in it. ]

I got that pencil thingie done for you.

[steeledskin]

[ -- upheaval, once again. but this time, and with this change, sansa allows herself a modicum of hope. her arrival upon the blue fish today brings her closer to both robb and bran. although, as she tentatively explores the more public areas of the ship, she certainly does not appear to be making herself at home.

with her arrival comes a fresh and new personnel room. sansa can be found sitting inside of it whenever she isn't glued to one or another brother's side. despite her augment, the personnel room, and her name upon its door, she hasn't the slightest notion of what she's meant to offer this ship. or any ship, for that matter. mostly, she sits in silence and stews.

except, of course, for when she dares to venture to the kitchen for meals. or late at 'night' for a restless cup of tea. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka basically lives in the kitchen. It's there or his engineering space, really. He looks up as she enters, offering her a smile and a wave of greeting. ]

Hey! You're uh...Sansa, right? Bran's sister? Welcome to the Blue Fish.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly was, of course, expecting Sansa's arrival, having contributed her credits to expanding the ship. She won't show up immediately, as she figures Sansa will want to see her brothers first, but eventually the good doctor will knock on the door of the brand new office.]

[summerschild]

Sansa!

[Bran wheels into the kitchen, and smiles warmly upon seeing his sister. He's only just heard about the transfers his crew helped arrange, and while he still doesn't understand this "Christmas" concept, he's nonetheless very thankful for their gift.

In his lap is the small fox pup he picked up from the streets of Arslae - she perks up her ears, quirking her head in Sansa's direction.]

You haven't met Beca yet.

[save_the_souls]

[Someone else is in the kitchen at the late hour. The first mate of the ship sits at the table, his hands holding onto one of the mugs as he drinks a cup of tea, trying to soothe away the nightmares that woke him.]

[But when he notices Sansa, the knitted brow will give away to a polite smile.]

Ah, good evening- Sansa, right? I take it you can't sleep either.

i apologize now

[bolder]

[One of those nights when she wanders into the kitchen, the lights are off, and it's almost completely dark except for the dimmed glow of the hallway. It takes a few moments for anything to happen, but soon enough, Toph speaks up from her spot at the table.]

Yo.

[admirably]

[ Hans has been eager to meet the ship's new transfers, hearing one of them was a lady - ladies are so much easier to charm than men. When he spots her heading into the kitchen, he slows his approach and enters casually a few moments later, like he's there for the exact same purpose she is. ]

Milady. [ A polite bow. ] Welcome aboard the Blue Fish.

[honorbends]

[ zuko has always had difficulty sleeping, and can often be found in the kitchen with said tea while he tries to figure out the fastest way to go to sleep. he's tried meditating tonight, and counting sheepbears, and now he's aimlessly reheating his tea. every so often, there is a slight hiss of steam from the edges of the cup, which zuko is clasping between his hands.

somewhere, iroh is bemoaning his nephew's total lack of regard for tea. ]

[ino]

[ Ino happens to be stopping by the kitchen to drop off some snacks -- lord knows this ship needs them, but for the time being, it's just a few boxes full of dango. She pauses when she spots Sansa, though, staring for just a moment as she connects the dots. A new person aboard the Blue Fish who she hasn't met -- and a girl, who looks pretty similar to how Bran described his sister? It's more than likely this is her, isn't it?

She'll set the boxes down on the counter and approach with a friendly smile. ]

Oh, hey! You must be Sansa, right?

[summerschild]

[Bran can be found in the cargo hold with his new little pup, affectionately named Beca. There's a small plate in his lap with fish he purchased in town, and the fox paws at his boots, asking for a piece.]

You can't have it until you sit.

[Beca huffs.

This was a lot easier when his legs worked.]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen of course, is all in support of a fox pup being added to the crew. Sure, with Timcanpy and his fish he didn't have anymore room in his small quarters for another animal- but hey if it's on his ship, that means he can still play with the fox from time to time, so that works out in Allen's favor.]

[Though for now he'll be approaching Bran as he takes a break from doing supplies run, smiling at the scene]

How's training going?

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Even inside this new ship the weapons are quite the same. Not that he is entirely focused. In fact, his eyes are red and it seems as if he has cried a little. And, no, Kings do not cry.

He walks through the hallway rubbing his eyes fiercely, knowing very well that the reunion with his brother had done more to him than he wanted to admit. On one side there is a sense of complete happiness, yet on the other side guilt is crushing him like never before.

Finally he finds a bit of a secluded place where he can busy himself with sniffling in a very un-kingly way. And whenever someone passes he just looks away a little, pretending to be busy with the weapon he is carrying.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka makes a pint of greeting everyone who comes aboard the Blue Fish. As such, he was actively looking for Robb when he comes across him. He offers a welcoming smile, opting to pretend he didn't hear the sniffling at all.

He's got your back, bro. ]

Hi. You're Bran's brother, right?

[honorbends]

{ zuko can usually be found hanging around his personnel room, though he's also been prodding around at the bridge lately. the more familiar you are with these types of things, the better off the rest of the team will be, and it's kind of annoying to him that he has absolutely no idea how any of this shit works because his augment is pretty useless.

also, after allen gives him a fox in payment for his ten credit debt, that little guy will be following him around too. so feel free to ask him why he has a friend. ]

[thebloodseal]

And here I thought you didn't like foxes. ['sup friend, Al's been stocking your ship with meat and is now taking a look around your ship.]

Visiting!

[mikangirl]

[Looking for a small blind metalbender, actually. That's it, that's the tag. She'll be cheerful at anyone she meets on the way.

Except possibly Zuko. Because Zuko.]

[bolder]

[Toph feels the new presence on the ship, but she lets it go, figuring it's someone visiting another crew member. However, when the person keeps looking around, she figures she may go have a look.

So now, with Nami in the kitchen, Toph enters and stands at the door.]

Can I help you?

visiting beverly because idk where else to put this?!?!?!

[invigorates]

[ once released from the marsiva's hospitality deck and sent aboard her new ship... lioriley almost immediately abandons it to hop on over to the blue fish for a visit. she had promised, after all, to see her friend as soon as she was able - and she would do well to be prompt.

knocking on beverly's door. or whatever. ]

[dancingmd]

[Calling out from the other side of the door.] I'll be there in one moment!

[Let's not traumatize the kids with your underwear, Bev. After zipping herself up into the fleet jumpsuit, she'll open the door. When she sees who it is, a big grin falls across her face.]

Lioriley! What perfect timing! I was about to head to the kitchen.

Choose your adventure!

[bryces_pup]

A. [Curled up in a chair in the galley, Riona is intently tapping on her communicator, her attention focused purely on the little device. Someone with a keen ear might hear the familiar sounds of Asteroids emitting from her communicator.

Yes, someone's discovered the joy of gaming. And the sheer frustration that goes with it.]

You damned-

[Several more furious taps, and her brow furrows even more.]

Nug-fucking, Blighted, shit-eating piece of-

[Suddenly she shouts in rage as Game Over pops up on the screen.] No! NO! I WAS SO CLOSE! [And like any good gamer, she takes her frustration out on the device as she throws it at the wall. It bounces off it with a loud bang before landing unceremoniously on the floor.]

B: [Anyone walking by the armory may hear some unusual squeaking coming from it. The small room is taken up by Riona and all the pieces of her armor, set out in what little floor room there is. She is sitting cross-legged in the corner, methodically polishing her armor. She managed to find a rag and while she lacks any proper polish, she's making do with what she's got.

When she hears someone poke their head in, she glances up and smiles.]

I didn't want to do it in the galley. A bit messy and I'm sure no one wants to eat while someone's cleaning off dirty armor.

A

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh look, from nowhere cometh a Sokka. He winces as the poor communicator takes a beating. ]

Y'know. Those things probably aren't indestructible.

visiting, god help us all

[eyeforaneye]

[ It's a rough first flight but he makes it to the Blue Fish in one piece -- unfortunately for some people -- and wastes no time in exploring the ship all in search of one room. ]

[A]

[ No doubt that exploration will cause him to run into a few people in the process, particularly when he's drawn to the kitchen just out of the interest of comparing it to the one he himself works in back on the Huntress. Sasuke does, however, wait until everyone is completely out of sight before dismantling the Blue Fish's poor innocent blender, pocketing the blades, and leaving a ruined appliance on the countertop for anyone to find.

Otherwise you may find him poking around the halls, cargo hold, or just about anywhere else on the ship. He's thorough. ]

[B]

[ The more horrifying option is that maybe you planned to visit Zuko in his personnel room, aka the spot Sasuke was looking for in the first place. Because he's just going to set himself up inside while the junior firelord is out, complete with a cup of tea and a new sword that he's patiently sharpening with one hand.

This is much more comfortable than his room on the Huntress. The doctor is definitely not in. ]

B.

[honorbends]

{ zuko uses his personnel room for meditation, mostly, especially when he's feeling overwhelmed. he's had a pretty decent week, but he knows himself well enough to know he should take some quiet time to think and be alone. he hasn't really had much time to be alone with the sudden influx of characters, and sasuke.

sasuke, really, had been the most emotionally draining. but he seems to be settling in alright, so zuko can take a break now.

but he knows something is off when he opens the door, though. it's dark, and he can hear the grating of the sharpening swords, and zuko can feel there's a presence in the room. he immediately creates a ball of flames to light the room, almost ready to beat the shit out of whoever broke into his room, because with his luck, it'd be fucking azula --

-- but. ]

-- Sasuke?
