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!]

Human kisses are still vastly superior to dog kisses, though, and it shows when Joseph's finds her forehead, from the way she melts a little and leans a little more securely against him.]
I'm more worried about it seeing me. Do you mean it has eyes for feet, or feet for eyes? Mmm, I don't even know which of those would be worse...
no subject
Neither. It's just... [Joseph takes his hand off Caesar's waist a moment, using his hand to at least vaguely shape it out for her.] It's a foot, right? Then just above the ankle here is a gigantic eyeball.
[He wraps his arm back around Caesar.]
Don't worry, I have it pointed in a particular direction. It won't look like it's looking at you.
[Namely it's pointed so it's staring at Mal while she's hanging upside down to sleep because he's a wonderful first mate and Mal is truly #blessed.]
no subject
[Not that Caesar's complaining in particular, because snuggles. He closes his eyes and chooses to blissfully ignore everything other than listening to the two of them talking and the dog wiggling around excitedly.]
Mine's pointed at the wall in my cabin and she still doesn't like it.
no subject
...
IT'S A FOOT WITH AN EYEBALL IN PLACE OF A LEG, JOJO.]
It sounds like someone broke their real sculpture and just glued together a bunch of other broken parts, instead.
[Suzie "Tim Gunn" Quatro is Concerned™.]
I don't know which would be worse, having to look at a foot-eye or having it looking at you.
no subject
[Only because Joseph's pretty sure he would have won and wouldn't be stuck with a foot-eye in his room. But it is what it is at this point. Joseph looks back down at Suzie in his lap.]
Look, I'll be sure to cover it up with a blanket or something before you come into my room, alright? Promise. You can just pretend it's a globe or something.
no subject
[#HELPING]
no subject
[#Apparently Not Helping]
Don't say that, there might really be one and the fleet might take us there next! I don't want to go to an eyeball planet!
[She leans a little more emphatically against Joseph. For his efforts in attempting to alleviate her concerns about eyeball feet, he will for the duration remain #blessed.]
no subject
Don't worry, Suzie. I'm pretty sure there could never be an eyeball planet.
no subject
No, it doesn't really make a lot of sense. But there could still be a globe of it.
no subject
[...which possibly gives a semi-skewed perspective of what kind of people Suzie's been talking to in her downtime, BUT YOU KNOW.]
If there's a flower planet there could be an eyeball planet.
no subject
No way. Flowers are whole living things. Eyeballs are just part of a living thing. Those are two completely different things, [he pauses to kiss Suzie's temple,] trust me.
[He's speaking with authority, but let's be honest, his evidence for support is comic books.]
no subject
Why are you talking to someone who talks about flower death buildings?
[Make better friends, Suzie. Friends like these two characters, who have never committed any sins.]
no subject
[HOORAY, SHE'S BEING SNUGGLED, TODAY SUZIE WINS]
...Jojo, you keep missing.
[She tips her head around and back, craning her neck in an attempt to raise her eyebrows at him.]
no subject
[He sure is gonna pretend like he doesn't know what she's talking about. Caesar can handle the intense vetting of her friends on his own for a minute.]
Oh, [Joseph laughs a little,] I got you.
[Joseph kisses her cheek and grins at her teasingly.]
There you go!
no subject
Hmm, what do you think. Was that on target?
no subject
If that was supposed to be on target, then I don't know if you ought to be landing ships anymore...
[She says, as she proceeds to tip her head all the way back and purse her lips.]
But I'll let you try again!
no subject
Okay, okay. I bet I can figure this out. Give me a second.
[Joseph looks at her thoughtfully for a moment before leaning in. He's close like he might actually kiss her on the lips right away, but of course he has to tease and leans back again with a thoughtful hum. No, no that's clearly not right. Hmm... Wait! He's got it! She must want her nose kissed! He leans in again, this time seemingly intent on kissing her nose. And he does, but not without kissing her on the lips before she can start pouting too much. He's not that mean.]
no subject
[Well, it was about time, he supposes. She was so cranky, and she should always be smiling. Maybe they can make up for it by piling smile onto smile now.]
[So he leans in and kisses her, too, a perfect echo of Joseph's, before leaning against Joseph's shoulder again in contentment.]
no subject
In the aftermath, she's left with her cheeks pink and her eyes dreamy and distant; there are always still these little moments of adjustment, of settling-in when it's the three of all of them together, and this past one has just proved wonderful and strange — that sometimes, unexpectedly, the one kiss she anticipates will end up being two, and that nothing about it feels unnatural or jumbled-up. On the contrary, it feels natural and easy, like something she always ought to have known but simply was never aware of until recently.
Which, for all practical purposes, ends up meaning that for a few seconds she just sits there, very still and a little dazed in the best possible way, floating off on her own thoughts and probably in need of some reeling back in.]
Ah...
no subject
I think maybe we spoiled her a little too much, Caesarino. Look at her.
no subject
[He sure is looking. Why wouldn't he look, if she's going to be that adorable? Completely unfair. He spares a glance up at Joseph all the same, though, and then leans up to kiss his cheek, because he thinks that will make it even, probably, or maybe just because he wants to.]
We spoiled her the exact right amount. Right, Suzie?
[And he takes her hand in his and squeezes lightly in an attempt to bring her back to them.]
no subject
[She's not, but it's a nice attempt. She closes her eyes for a moment, letting her focus wander back to Caesar's hand and Joseph's warmth behind her, and at length reopens them again.]
Ah, you two are really dangerous when you work together...!
