Gumball Wishes and Taxicab Dreams

[On today's episode of the Drift Fleet:

The cargo holds are full of mysterious crates! The crews are filling beyond capacity with new faces! Official alerts are informing the passengers that they are signed to contracts that they've never agreed to! They are docking at the dazzling FS Starlight, but are flat broke!

What are they going to do!? Stay tuned to find out!


...Meaning, this is a kickoff mingle for you all to enjoy the beginning of the latest plot setting. This is a convenient place to start threads relating to the first week of the event-- meeting new crewmembers, reacting to the mysterious cargo, arriving on the station and discovering that you're all broke, etc.

Tag around, start whatever you'd like, have fun. And, as always, feel free to make your own posts and mingles from here on in, as this will be the only mod-posted one for this event!]

[Healing, something he could learn - Clay lights up as if he recognizes it, and then gives Hakkai a little point.]

Chi manipulation - Is that kind of like... like chakra? I have a friend who heals people with that! She won't teach me how to do it though. [:(]

[ He nods thoughtfully. ] Mmm, something like that, I think. It's not an easy thing to learn - it takes years for most humans to master even the basics, and I have some...advantages.

[ And another cheery smile. ] It's also very easy to overtax yourself, to the point of injury, if used incautiously. [ Clay seems a little too boisterous and impulsive to be trusted with such a thing, in other words. ]

Huh. [He leans back against the wall, curled up slightly while he presses his finger against his forehead.] So if I really buckle myself down and learn it, and just be careful about using it...

[Sorry man, this is a goal now, and Clay never, ever gives up on his goals. His whole life is full of danger - his job, his best friend's life, his boyfriend, so what's one more?]
halfblinded: (Careful it's fake)

I'm afraid you'd have to find a different teacher. It's one thing to be able to do it, but to teach the underlying skills requires knowledge of some principles I don't have as much direct experience with. [ Excuses, excuses, Hakkai. ] I certainly wouldn't want your death on my hands because my teaching methods were faulty.

[ And why is he still smiling?! ]

[Man, this guy is quite the stepford smiler. Still, Clay grins in return, hand lowering from its forehead poking.]

That's fine! I wouldn't want that to happen either. [Look practically everything he does could result in death, he's used to it.] But thanks for telling me more about it! And for helping me, too.
