The Engine Room

[tallasaking]

You cannot avoid the noises coming from the engine room, especially when all they seem to be is banging, some sort of ... hissing noise that was a blowtorch at work, and of course, the thudding and the cursing so foul that old maids would have fainted.

Tyrion, of course, at work. At work at all kinds of things - new weapons from the ores he managed to buy, conversion piping for his sink idea. There are tools everywhere, and a very intense dwarf in the midst of all of it. Banging away, for your convenience.

[takeabow]

[ Nova appears in the doorway and she doesn't look particularly pleased ]

What are you doing?

[tallasaking]

Working.

[Is Tyrion's terse reply as he is trying to wrangle together a setup that looks like it is to hold a sink.]

[takeabow]

Obviously. That or sabotage. Is this for your improvements?

[gifted_witch]

[Well that was...colorful. Lily stepped in trying to make herself as conspicuous as possible so as not to startle him. She sat a tray down on one of the more clear areas and leaned against the wall. She waited until a quiet moment.]

I heard you were working down here all day; thought you might be hungry. [She gestured to the tray, since Nova had shown her the kitchen she'd felt free to cook to help the rest of the crew. It was simple, some sort of basic bread, and a vegetable stew; even dehydrated food could be made palatable with enough care and spices..and boiling.]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion huffed a little as he dug his heels into what he was twisting into place, his mis-matched eyes flashing anger and frustration.] I am famished. I am also this close to taking this device and ramming into the wall as many times as I feel like screaming 'die bastard die'.

[He looked up at her, his mouth twisting.] Colorful, yes?

[gifted_witch]

Vibrantly. [Lily nodded and laughed, she was given to very free and easy laughter. It came from trying to surround herself with things that made her happy and helping others was part of that.]

Well if you're going to attack it I suggest you eat something so you can take it on at full strength.

Captain Furiosa

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa feeling much better from the illness she suffered from the ice planet (so much so that her teas and soups and other such gains have been recently relocated to Max Rockastansky, who clearly needed it more.]

[Here on the First Breath she does regular patrols and continues to try and find ways to enhance the ship, whether its by taking note of possible upgrades, or finding places to stash weapons for emergency use.]

[She tries to keep up with her crew mates as much as she can, seeking the out of she doesn't pass the indirectly on her patrols. She still needs to appoint a second in command, but she's at least narrowed it down to two possibilities.]

[takeabow]

[ Nova has been around lately, but she's also been idle. She's inventoried the armory way more times than necessary and generally just seems frustrated and distant. She smiles mildly at Furiosa during one of her rounds ]

Hey.

[kill_switch]

Hey yourself.

[She's noticed the armory and Nova's restlessness, and takes a moment to address as they cross paths.]

Everything going alright?

[takeabow]

Yeah. Why?

[ she's a little bristly ]

Re: Captain Furiosa

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion is building said weapons - and if he is not working on his own improvements on the ship and weapons - he's designing them. Or reading about them. Or in fact doing all three at the same time.

Because he's Tyrion.

So he's sitting in the mess, with a book of engineering in front of him, carefully putting together what looks like a modified shotgun, while he is carefully writing down his own notes. Oh, and eating a mixture of different gels. Even geniuses must eat.]

[kill_switch]

[She stands in the doorway and watches for several long moments, trying to figure out how she feels about the sight before her. Normally, she would have been encouraging, but given his earlier speech about securing rights, there's an undeniable nugget of concern.]

[Not one she's too keen on letting him see.]

Having better luck now?

Re: Captain Furiosa

[gifted_witch]

Oh, Captain!

[Lily poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the woman's steps coming near.]

There's soup and bread fresh, well mostly bread. Something quite like bread anyway. So if you're hungry help yourself.

[Blame Nova for showing her the kitchen.]

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa stills for a moment, and then turns and joins Lily in the kitchen. She was enjoying the return of her appetite after the illness, and the idea of some actual decent food mixtures definitely had its appeal.]

I could do with a break. [She pulls down the dishware and helps herself, then settles at the table and start to dig in. Compared to Wasteland cuisine, that Lily did with the protein packs is simply divine. She glances up at the redhead.] Sure you're not the cook? This is pretty good.

The shuffle shuffled you a Hawkeye. Surprise!

[vagabond_code]

[With all that patrolling around, she was going to find him eventually. Probably sooner rather than later. Hawkeye was sat on his bunk, in his wow-they-even-designated-a-room-for-me-already room picking off the last of his bandages and band-aids and arranging them on the bed. The weren't neatly organized, but they were organized.]

Yay Hawkeye!!

[kill_switch]

[She's gotten used to some of the more revolving changes, reminiscent but less tragic than losing Warboys on the rig and having new ones cycle in, but that didn't make her any less determined to know the existing crew at any given moment. Finding a new face, she stops and leans against the doorway, watching him for a quiet moment before speaking.]

New to the fleet? Or was your last ship just that exciting?

[gifted_witch]

[Wasn't much work to be had in the labs so Lily had busied herself with trying ti be useful. Today that entailed cooking. She was still learning about the newer foodstuffs. but most of the dry stores were easy enough to work with. After a few hours and no small amount of adding this and that she'd made a decent vegetable stew and a low, dense bread. Ingredients were not entirely plentiful but she could make do with this for a while.

She had finished the meal and set it and some bowls out for the crew before she started clean up. Her wand made that significantly easier, while she hummed to herself and swept the floor, dishes began to march themselves over to the cleaning unit.]

[bothbarrels]

[ North had taken on it on himself since his arrival to try and cook at least one meal a day, but it looked—and smelled!—like the newcomer had done pretty well about figuring out how to make something out of the available ingredients. North entered the mess and glanced over the spread. ]

Looks like that venison we caught when we made planetfall came in handy. Smells good.

[gifted_witch]

Hello. [She beamed at the man, all deep red hair and startlingly green eyes over that smile. She leaned the broom aside and used a towel to clean her hands.] Well it's not much but I think it's not too bad. It's fresh and warm and homemade which always counts for something I think.

[She held out her now clean hand to him.] Lily Evans.

[action - for katniss&isaac]

[evildetector]

[ and the moment lydia arrives, stiles is going to be looking for nova and isaac both. ]

[takeabow]

[ Nova's eating a snack in the kitchen with her comm out in front of her ]

Hey. What's up? You look like something's up.

[evildetector]

Lydia's here.

[ he's acting like he's just had his head ducked into a bucket of cold water, and his hair is a little wild just from the way he's been nervously running his fingers through it. ]

From home. Lydia Martin. Our Lydia.

[frigidaire]

[ the moment Isaac saw Lydia on the ship, he knew he'd have to find Stiles. so after a quick message of 'be there in 5' with little to no invitation or preamble, Isaac shows up on the First Breath, and actually nearly runs into Stiles in the hallway. ]

Hey -- did you see...?

[ of course he did but better safe than sorry. ]

[evildetector]

Yeah.

[ god he is not okay with so much of this. ]

She's in Eichen.
