Gumball Wishes and Taxicab Dreams

[thespaceopera]

[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!]

[Definitely not just for show then. Probably just part of her species.]

What do you wanna eat? [Sorey climbs down a couple branches before dropping out of the tree too.] I don't know any of the places around here, so if you've got a favorite one I'm game.

[flickerflash]

Oh, I've never eaten here before! My dad won't let me. [She waits patiently for him at the base, then sets out with a little skip toward the main food court area, turning to walk backwards while she keeps talking.] But I bet at least one of them sells fish. We can look around, right?

[monolike]

Sure! [Haha, she really is a cat.] Maybe some of them have milk, too.

[flickerflash]

They might have. Maybe even strawberry milk! [She's not completely a cat, just... mostly.] Have you ever had strawberry milk?

...or strawberries?

[monolike]

I've had strawberries but I've never had strawberry milk! That sounds seriously awesome. Is it just a bunch of strawberries mixed with milk, kinda like ice cream?

[flickerflash]

It's exactly like that! [You know, if it wasn't completely different.] Though the strawberries are all mashed down. If we find some, you should try it out and see how you like it! Oh-- unless you don't like strawberries.

[monolike]

Nah, I like 'em! And I like trying new stuff. You go ahead and pick whatever you want, I'll try it. [none the wiser about her not actually being a station kid over here]

[flickerflash]

Okay! That sounds adventurous all on its own. Let's go exploring!

[With that she'll offer him a hand and lead him off into the chaos of the station. She has no real idea where she's going, but she'll end up following the smell, most likely. Somewhere with anything remotely fish-like is perfect.]
