[Eugene's been spending more time in the ship than he would like. But the simple fact of the matter is that wearing a metal leg in the temperatures out there means just about freezing his stump off, and crutching through ice and snow isn't much better. He's out and about the markets now and then, investing in meat and other kitchen supplies, as well as anything he can scrape together for his ongoing homebrewing project. But otherwise, whenever he's not at work at the Space Bar over on the Iskaulit, he can be found puttering around the ship. Sometimes he's cooking. Sometimes he's sitting in the cargo on a luxuriously fluffy hide he'd acquired planetside for the express purpose of sitting around, journalling in his communicator. And a few times, crewmembers might find him making a good faith effort at fitness with their new weights and punching bag - despite the fact that he hasn't regularly exercised for a few years now.]

come meet ur new cook cause u def needed him

[Haruka could explore the ship and could go meet his new crew members. But why should he when there's this cute adorable puppy just waiting to be petted? He already got a quick rundown of the situation when he first arrived, so there's no moment of panic and confusion. In fact, he's rather at peace with himself, scritching this puppy happily.

He may not be very happy that this situation is happening, but he can't change it. So might as well enjoy himself with this dog.]

[Al could be found performing various chores around the ship and experimenting with his alchemy over the days before they leave... and playing with Cosmic the fox, of course.

In the cargo bay, Al could be found trying to manipulate the walls with alchemy, because he wanted to see if he could make and rearrange small temporary storage areas for food and supplies- it would be wonderful if he could make and break down things as needed. However, he was still figuring out the chemical composition of the walls, so he wasn't having much luck.

Otherwise, he could be found at the kitchen table with some paper, sketching mysterious-looking circles. Some of them were scribbled out in frustration, some had smudges from being erased, some were heavily drawn over, and others were clean.]

The counsellor is in 8|

[Katie takes time to come down with a cold, but when she does she promptly ignores it, still tromping out to explore most days. Losing most of her sense of smell is a benefit on a planet that smells so hideously of salt. She comes back early on the day Max decides to pull a knife on her (jerk), and drifts around to see what various crew are doing instead.

When she finally gets too sick-- or gets loomed at by various adults-- she retreats back to the counsellor's room and vanishes into the blanket fort-maze she's made of the place (yes hello I am a professional nine year old therapist) and coughs and sneezes her way into the back corner of the room, hidden by a pile of cushions.

See, if this was a movie someone would be over to read the Princess Bride to her. Life isn't fair, man. At some point, she may recruit the tiniest, cutest crew member into curling up with her back here. Because the fox is adorable, let's face it.

Achoo.]

[A) Listen, crew, Rogue loves you and all, but you have like a thousand other cooks. She is going to be spending most of her planet stay on a planet, thank you very much. But she'll also pop back and forth occasionally about once a day to check in and feed her fish, ASP (alternate source of protein, yes).

B) Feel free to catch her coming to and from on the shuttle, sometimes in the morning with that whole Monday walk of shame thing going. After all, she hasn't really been spending nights here since the whole Marsiva debacle. Wonder what's up with that? Feel free to ask.

C) Also, cleaning and organizing her little room. She is shopping and stocking up down on the planet and trying to find room for everything -- darn it, where is her blanket? She could have sworn...

D) ~wild card~]

backdated to her arrival; walks in a week late with starbucks

[annabeth's not a happy camper.

she doesn't so much explore the ship as aggressively acquaint herself with her surroundings, her lips pulled into what seems to be a permanent scowl. she can be found wandering just about anywhere from the bunks to kitchens to the rec room. the last one is a favorite, because it gives her something to hit when she's frustrated. which is pretty much always, right at this moment.

if she runs into anyone there's a good chance she'll introduce herself with a friendly who are you supposed to be?, or where are we? or the even more charming hey, you're in my way.

she's all about the stellar first impressions.]

[here's Pearl, screwdriver in hand as she tries to wrestle down a large, sparking Roomba-lookin' thing. Do you even want to know what's going on?]
