one ☂ rain, rain, go away...

Who: Lapis Lazuli & YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: S.S. Huntress
When: 1/10

[ VIDEO ]

[ The very second she wakes, the immediacy of how wrong this is crashes over her like a wave.

Lapis curls upright on a cot on the Marsiva, blinking and coughing - like she's been underwater for too long. Frantically, she reaches out for something that isn't there - a shackle. A connection she had been holding on to with all the strength she had, just moments ago -

She had lost it. She hadn't been strong enough.

She stumbles off the cot like she's still getting her land legs, and slowly moves out of the room, quickly casting glances around every corner as she moves down hallways. This doesn't look like a Homeworld ship, but...it has to be. She wasn't strong enough to stay fused with Jasper, and so she must have gotten free. She was probably hurting Steven right now, and Lapis had been taken prisoner again -

What's the point?

In front of a large window, she slumps down, arms winding around her knees. She her forehead against them until she can't see the harsh lights of the ship anymore. With that blocked out, there's just her, and the tumultuous ocean roiling inside of her. ]


[ ACTION ]

[ Soon enough, Lapis is shuttled off to the S.S. Huntress, and she enters the ship with all the reluctance in the world. She is not happy to be here. She barely minds the fact that she's been assigned to a Security position - rather, she avoids the armory entirely. She didn't ask for this. She didn't ask to come here, to be taken prisoner yet again by an organization she knew nothing about, but who would inevitably find some way to use her to their ends.

She doesn't want any of this.

And so as Lapis makes her way to the bunks, she starts pulling - only partly deliberately - on any liquids she passes. Someone using the toilet or shower may suddenly find the water fleeing upwards and out towards the Gem calling it to her. Water, tea, or any other drink may jump out of a cup or drink dispenser as she passes. She does this until she builds a small river down the hallway, barely glancing at anyone she passes unless - unless, they get a bit too close for comfort. ]


No! Just - just stay away from me!

Yeah, yeah, cry me a river. [A pause.] ... not literally. Look - you think the rest of us like it here? This isn't some pleasure cruise, Zules. You're here and you've got to pull your weight. Simple as that.

[A sigh.]

What, you want me to threaten physical force? [He holds up his hand and gives is a thoughtful glance as he considers hardening it. But eh.]

Sorry, sister. Won't happen. I don't fight women - it's just not my style.
avaricious: (Nothing personal)

Is that right. So what is it you plan to do? Kick up your feet and watch the stars drift by?

[Because... that's actually what everyone else does. This ship is boring as fuck.]

[Casual reminder that Greed has been in a bath towel this time. Despite that part where he apparently was wearing a side arm!? Clearly he maxed out his bluff skill.]

Well why you decide, I need to get this out of my hair. [His hair is still soapy, dammit.] Try not to suck out the water while I finish up, if you can somehow manage that.
avaricious: (Excuse me?)

Enjoy the ride!

[He gives her a small wave while he turns himself around and begins back towards the showers. Enjoy the view.]
