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!]

I've never been so distressed in my whole life.

[He said, monotonously.]

It was bad enough when everything tasted like salt on Arslae.

I didn't eat the lizardfish.

[Almost pouting here. Jeez, Fiona, show a little more faith in him!]

That was on the desert moon, anyway. I felt like I was supposed to walk into a saloon and introduce myself as Clint Eastwood.

I don't think he- [She shakes her head.] How many planets you been on since- [Since- she says it a little unsure, as though tasting the word and finding it bitter.] Asgard?

Uh. Three actual planets. Then there was the moon, some waystations...

[He trails off, thinking briefly of the Marsiva, before he shrugs.]

Nothing really interesting, to be honest. What about you. You said you were on another planet with real Dave.

[Where she...apparently died.]
goodjob: tired . angry (yep ran out of lyrics again.)

A moon? I never been to a moon.

[She decides to go light for the answer to his question.] I only went to a few. One was all snow all the time-- the other you fucking hated it. And one was... a lot like this, actually. But with beaches. And one was on fucking fire. The last one was just a nature preserve.

[Davesprite gives her a slanted, sideways look.]

Don't tell me it was another reality TV show.
goodjob: welp . bullshit . snide . gesture (shit i owe him money)

No, it was waste removal. [The lie falls out of her mouth as easy as a dream. Lying to children has never been hard for her. It's adult who give her problems.] Very glamorous. Wish I still had the brochure.

[His expression is wry—waste removal, really?—but he doesn't question it.

If only he knew it was more accurate than he thought.]


How'd you end up there. Did they nab you straight from Asgard?
goodjob: tired . angry (im running out of ideas here)
