[Hey crew! It looks like there's some new changes that have come over the ship as well as a couple of new crewmates from the past shuffle or two! Have you been enjoying the planet, or is it too cold for you? Have you caught a nasty cold like your poor captain a few posts down, or are you a Vanquish member and are fine? Come along for a mingle, let the viewers see what you're up to! And also meet the tiniest, cutest crew member too!]

Yeah, well. Dizzy people need to stay sitting. Or they dizzy over on their heads.

[So there. He's sure to set her down politely into a pile of blankets.]

Been stomping around the icy wet planet, huh?

[flickerflash]

[Mutter mutter grumble. She'd fight him on it out of general principle but she doesn't have the energy. Katie settles into the blankets instead, curling them around her shoulders.]

Maybe. I was pretending I was little Red Riding Hood. Even met the big bad wolf. [She settles for pointing up at the blanket she was trying to yank down.]

Do you think you could carry it in that?

[collegedropout]

[Katie pls I'm a pro hunter.]

I think I can handle it.

Do I get paid for my obvious mailman job?

[flickerflash]

Of course you do. What about ten thousand dollars and a slice of cake?

[Innocent blinking.]

[collegedropout]

.... [insert sturgeon mouth of agreement]

I guess I could make due with ten thousand dollars.

How about two slices of cake, though?

[flickerflash]

Now you're just being greedy.

[She tries to sniff in disdain, but when your nose is already blocked it sounds way more gross jsyk.]

[collegedropout]

[Ew, icky. He pushes the tissues back toward her again.]

Am I really? Can I swap out some of the money for cake?

[flickerflash]

[Oh fine she will blow her nose. She'll even turn away to do it so you don't have to be all grossed out, gosh. Muffled then:]

It's an all or nothing deal. You can have two slices of cake and no money. I suppose I could bend that far.

[Spoken by someone who has no idea what an all or nothing deal is obv.]

[collegedropout]

[He waves a hand.]

Alright, alright.

Two slices of cake it is, then.

[flickerflash]

It's a deal. [Because god knows where she was getting ten grand from, but Katie never meant it anyway. Two slices of cake, though, she can probably manage. As long as she's eating one.]

You might have to wait, though. I don't think you'd like me trying to bake a cake now. [Who knows what might get into the mix. :|]

[collegedropout]

[Chuckling faintly, he shakes his head.]

Probably not.

Got a way to transport this mess here?

[flickerflash]

[In answer she points up at the blanket she was trying to pull down when she faceplanted.]

Is that good enough?

[collegedropout]

I guess that'll do.

But while I do this big adventure you're sending me on... you're going to have to actually lay down and get some rest. With a new blanket. [He wags a finger at her, teasingly mostly. That flash of red thread under his sleeve is probably familiar; it's got a little fish charm on it, you see. Heh.] Only way to get rid of that nose grossness is some rest.

[flickerflash]

[...baw, the charm.

She settles in to her blanket pile then, blinking at him sleepily as he tugs the other down.]

You're a horrible person.

[Best compliment, okay.]

[collegedropout]

[He grins.]

Next you'll start insulting how short I am.

[flickerflash]

Everybody insults how short you are. [Yawn.] I want to be original. Perhaps I'll pretend you're tall for a day.
