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!]

[Well-

Well okay, he probably owes it to him. And while walking along with him is kind of like being in a constant cloud of cigarette smoke, Sorey's going to have to endure. Malevolence does not work the same way here, for whatever reason.]


Ah- engineering. I still don't know much, but I'm picking up a lot as I go. I've already done a few jobs around the station.

Is that right? Well it just so happens I was at a club last night and they really were looking for a guy with your skill set. I'll even hook you up there, no questions asked.

[There will of course be a reasonable founder's fee deducted from the pay, but that can only be expected for taking in a guy off the streets like he is right now.]

[Is...he trying to find him work? Maybe he's friends with the owner and trying to help him out.] Oh. Alright, sure! I don't have anything going on today. Where's the place?

[Hope Sorey likes malevolence, because Greed puts an arm around Sorey as he leads him on. They are, after all, best buds now.]

Not far from here. It's a pretty quiet scene during the day, but they get a real crowd in the evenings. It's gonna be right up your alley.

[NO HE DOESN’T ACTUALLY AND IT’S LIKE BEING HUGGED BY A CLOUD OF ANGRY BEES. Sorey does his best not to fidget but he does lean away from Greed the second that arm hits his shoulders. Dude no offense but you’re horrible.]

It’s all right if it’s not what I’m used to anyway, I don’t mind helping these places out. It’s a good learning opportunity. [It is. Sorey has been bouncing around to any place that’ll take him. He’s not exactly shy either, so he doesn’t mind asking.] Are you…are you asking for a friend? [is that why he’s doing this hard sale schtick]
avaricious: (Devilish)

[Is he asking for a friend? Well, Greed doesn't really do friends. On the other hand, he does like himself a lot and he is doing this for himself. Also he's feeding Ling's absurd appetite as well. That's close enough.]

That's right, you could say the guy is really close to my heart. This would really help him out.

[Inside, the prince resolves not to say anything, but he'd be slapping his forehead if he currently had access to his own body.]

[OH well if that's the case, then.] All right. Just leave it to me! [Malevolence or not, bad behavior or not, Sorey was rude and now he's gonna make it up to this creepy captain.] Where's this place at? I can head over there myself.
avaricious: (Devilish)

Alright, just up that way. Look for a place called the Starlight Breeze. Tell them Greed sent you. [He gives Sorey a pat on the back.] And make me proud! ["OR YOU'LL BE SOREY!" Greed doesn't say, because he is not a punmaster.]
monolike: (okay but where the fuck is it)

[Somewhere, Sorey's pun-loving friends are crying about missed opportunities.

Sorey offers a somewhat subdued wave and a half-grin before he jogs for his destination. That was...strangely nice of him. Granted, he's still seething with malevolence and has some fucked up soul bullshit going on, but he doesn't seem to be a hellion? Somehow?

Heck.]
