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!]

[He can't tell you why, Sasuke. The words of the seraphim can't be heard by the closed-minded! ...Or. Whatever the reason is for him being seen and not heard. Mikleo doesn't go away, though. He was here first! (And if he wasn't, how would you know? Hah.)

He does tilt his head in the direction of the vending machine, brow lifting. Really? Really?]

[ He really doesn't need the nod of his head to guess the reason for his expression, questioning 'why' more in terms of his luck and Mikleo's general existence. ]

There are more severe crimes that could benefit from your pointless staring, if you're so interested.
nerdeology: (no the other one)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-28 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Mikleo just shrugs. Couldn't there be more severe crimes he could be doing? How much do you even get for the trouble of breaking into a little machine like that?

Not that he's encouraging crime, but it seems like there ought to be more efficient ways to get money.]
eyeforaneye: (Default)

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-28 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Collections of money from a lot of different pockets are harder to trace, though it is true that it's annoying to have the money in such low increments. His pockets are heavy; he'll have to get to a bank and change these out quickly. ]

If you have a way to actually make yourself useful, you should also be trying to get money. We need it for the ship.
nerdeology: (please stop interrupting)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-28 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's not like Mikleo knows the nuances or rules of thievery. He's never had to steal a thing in his life.

Sasuke's suggestion earns him a wary headtilt and a gesture of spread hands- what sort of money opportunities might a ghost-esque person have?

and don't say stealing]
eyeforaneye: (Default)

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-28 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Allow Sasuke to teach you to be a criminal. ]

... do you have any ability to impact the physical world at all?
nerdeology: (go ask him then)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-28 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sasuke that is literally the worst idea.

But okay, he'll bite. He can accept suggestions and not follow through with them, after all. Mikleo steps over and raps his knuckles against the front display of the broken vending machine; it wobbles noisily under the pressure, the same way it would if someone visible had hit it. Like so?]
eyeforaneye: ({but his blood has stopped pumping})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-29 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Most people can't see you, so if you want to use your ability to help then coordinate with someone from our ship for some kind of street entertainment show. You could move things in accordance with their cues and a gullible audience will tip well if they can't figure out how someone is managing to do it.
nerdeology: (i wouldn't threaten a soul)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-29 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[....Okay, that is... actually not literally the worst idea. Colour him surprised.

Mikleo considers this thoughtfully for a moment, then points to Sasuke. You volunteering, buddy? Because that is a lot less dishonest than breaking into vending machines.]
eyeforaneye: ({as the hurt comes there's an argument})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-29 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... [ ugh. ]

[ Give him a moment to think about the now huge amount of things he wants to buy and how expensive they all are and how every little bit of money is important in that venture.

...

Sasuke then flies through a quick set of one-handed hand seals, a little poof of smoke appearing beside him that dissipates into revealing... what else but another Sasuke.
] This one will go with you. I need to exchange this money.
nerdeology: (OH MY GOD THAT'S UNFAIR)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-29 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHAT

WHAT]


Why are there two of you!?

[He has seen some weird shit on his world but this is some weird shit]

[ ... it still sounds like he's underwater even when Sasuke is staring right at him and concentrating, honestly. Sasuke 1 looks over at Sasuke 2. ]
eyeforaneye: ({as the hurt comes there's an argument})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-30 12:59 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-01-30 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ And then they both shrug dismissively before the first darts away in such a burst of speed that he seems to vanish from sight completely. ]

Why can't you be seen by most people? It's simply how it is.
nerdeology: (but lives are so fleeting)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-01-30 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[how

is this his life right now

Mikleo stares at the empty space where the first Sasuke (and what a ridiculous thing to even think let alone witness) vanished from, then looks at the second one, thoroughly confused and agitated that he doesn't understand what he just witnessed.

Finally he turns on his heel and marches off. Come if you must, you strange clone thing, but you'd better have a decent crowd appeal or this show is going nowhere.]
eyeforaneye: ({it's breaking ice now})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-02-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
You're surprisingly closed-minded for a spirit. [ Just as an aside while he follows, sharingan remaining active so that he can better see Mikleo. Seriously. ]

Or whatever it is that you are. Many people would try to deny your existence.
nerdeology: (shut up)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-02-02 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not like he can verbally voice his grievances normally, but- ugh, okay, this is going to be annoying. Mikleo waves a hand to summon his communicator, poking at the controls for a moment.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT, HE IS CALLING YOU]
eyeforaneye: ({the me that you know...})

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-02-02 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He stares at Mikleo.

He stares down at his own ringing communicator.

He stares at Mikleo again.

fuck you I'm not answering that WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THESE TWO ARE A DISASTER
]
nerdeology: (seriously stop with the nicknames)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-02-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Mikleo shoots him the dirtiest, most contemptuous glower he can muster. He will keep calling, you piece of shit. He's immortal. He doesn't sleep.

He can do this all day.

PICK UP THE PHONE]
eyeforaneye: ({never say goodbye})

Understand something. There's a certain dynamic to our relationship right now, and it's one that I want to maintain.

[ ring ]
eyeforaneye: (Default)

4/5 i lied

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2016-02-03 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And that dynamic has me able to speak while I don't have to listen to a damn word that you say.

[ ring ]

It's a good one, one that I would implement in more of my relationships if I could.

I'm not going to ruin it. Now, we should set up on that corner there.
