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!]

[Robb feels his blood turn cold at her words, his stomach twisting into some sort of painful knot. There were many ways to interpret her words and he feels as if he cannot find the right one, the best one.]

Did the Lannisters order you to do that? To make our father confess to the realm he betrayed his friend and their king? And what would they have done if you did not? They already...

[When he talks his voice sounds a little squeaky. Like that of a teenager instead of a lord or a king.]

What have they done to him? [His face has turned pale and he can feel his anger rising.]

[ too many questions -- and many of them cut deeply. so instead, she tells the single truth attached to his final inquiry. ]

He is a traitor, to them -- regardless of the truth. We all are. Joffrey hated you especially.

[Robb sighs and chews his lower lip. This angers and saddens him at the same time and he can feel tears burning behind his eyes. Gods, don’t cry, you are no bloody babe. He should take all their heads. The entire family.]

That hate is a mutual thing. [He hisses the words.] For what he has done to you, our lord father, the North. [Robb shakes his head and continues to bite his lip.] But you should never believe their words. [And if Stannis Baratheon’s words are true...]

The idea of father confessing to things he cannot have done... [It sends shivers down his spine even though all he have are some words and some letters.] There is no bloody justice in that.

-- All my fault. [ mumbled, really. unhappy.

no wonder her brother never came for her. ]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Not your fault, Sansa.

[Robb shakes his head firmly, frowning. It is more his fault than hers. All the things he wants and never could have.]

You have done the best you could. [He cannot blame a young girl for being gullible and believe in lies.] I should have been there.
