Haruka Tenoh | Sailor Moon | OTA

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka has been spending most of her time off the ship just in case something's up with those crates. So this is the first time one might have seen her heading down the hallway in a while.

She's got her hands tucked in her pockets and her mind a mile away, so pardon her when her elbow bumps against you. ] Ah, yo. Sorry.

[ A sheepish smile and she's on her way, but a folded piece of paper has drifted out of her pocket to land on the floor behind her....

Do you pick it up? Do you open it? ]

[imahologram]

Don't worry about it.

[Yes and of course not, obviously. Reading other people's notes is a terrible way to get to know them--when you're packed into a very small ship, anyway. Sometimes necessary, never diplomatic.

Leia turns back the way she came, reaching out to touch the other person's arm.]

I think you dropped this.

[actsmagnificent]

[ When Haruka turns and sees what the other woman's holding out - a new face, huh? This is a popular place - what might be nervousness crosses her own expression for a second. Then it smooths out into an apologetic good nature. ] ...Right. Thanks.

[ She'll take that, hoping to change the subject in the process. ] New transfer?

[two_jedi_sticks]

[Leia might be tactful enough not to read the note, but Jaina may be leaning and trying to get a glimpse at what it is. What are boundaries and staying out of other people's business?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Who knows?

This piece of paper has apparently been printed from a computer terminal in the station, and is of a Wanted poster. Two robot-sketched likenesses grace the announcement, which explains the following individuals broke into Security HQ and are wanted for questioning. They are also apparently armed with unusual weaponry, so approach with caution.

One of those people does bear a passing resemblance to Haruka, but the sketch has her wearing a tiara, so that's impossible, right?

Haruka turns when she senses Jaina isn't still moving. ] Did you need--

leia organa | ota

[imahologram]

[Leia's been doing a lot of odd jobs over the last few weeks--she's a little ombudsmanned out at this point--but eventually, her attention turns to the Bishop. It's her new ship, and it's a well-appointed one, relatively speaking.

She'll be all over the place, including...

• In the kitchen, looking at all the food options. "How is it?" she asks, holding up a package labeled POWDERED EGG SUBSTITUTE. "We didn't have this much variety on the Windrose."
• On the bridge, encrypting your messages. Or her messages. Or maybe just testing the equipment.
• In front of the full-length mirror in the bathroom, braiding her hair into something elaborate and swearing when a hairpin falls from her hands at a crucial, this-is-going-to-fall-apart-if-I-hunt-around-for-a-hairpin kind of moment. "Sorry--could you hand me that?"
• In the armory or rec area, taking a look at her ~standard sidearm~. "I wonder if we could set up targets for practice in here."
• She also just plain might come up to you in a corridor and hold out a hand to shake, because getting to know your crewmates is important. "I'm Leia Organa. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Or whatever else you can think of.]

[OOC: Technically Leia switched over to the Bishop way back on February 7th, but she hasn't met most of the crew yet! So we can either backdate or just assume she's been busy making cash or w/e. up 2 u.]

Cinnamon bun prompt I MEAN

[two_jedi_sticks]

[Jaina doesn't braid her hair as often as her mother, but she absolutely admires it when Leia does it. So she's glad Leia doesn't shoo her away and lets her watch. Even better when she asks her to grab a hairpin for her. It's helping.

She's also got that Solo grin plastered on her face because mom said a word, but she's not going to comment on it.]

Is this going to be a new style?

a++ would let daughter help again

[imahologram]

[Mom did say a word--she's used to censoring herself in general, but not specifically for the sake of her offspring. It's the last thing on her mind as she shoves the pin into the mass of hair she's trying to keep in place.]

That depends on whether it stays up all day.

[She gives Jaina a little smile through the mirror's reflection. Ah, the perils of coming up with new things to do with one's hair.]


Do you always wear your hair down?

[experiencepoints]

[Erk. Nightingale does spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen now, but even she winces when she sees what Leia's holding.]

You, ah, probably don't want to try that stuff. Let's just say variety doesn't make any of it good.

[imahologram]

Better or worse than rations?

[She's no stranger to lousy food, and the simple fact of the matter is that they'll be in space plenty in the future. Better to figure out now what's worth trying, while they still have access to the station's shopping.]

LEIAAAA

[t65]

[Luke just kind of drifts toward Leia's quarters. He doesn't really know which ship she's on, or where she is inside of it, but he finds her nonetheless. He misses her, and he has news, and Leia is one of the only two people in the Fleet he completely trusts. He knocks on the door to her quarters.]

Leia?

[imahologram]

[She feels him coming--if there's one thing Leia is decent at, as regards the Force, it's finding her twin within it--and is waiting behind the door when he knocks. It opens, and she pulls him into a hug before she says a word.

She's really missed you, bro. Thanks for coming by.]

They let you off the Marsiva.

Nightingale | OC | OTA

[experiencepoints]

[If you're wandering around in the ship's hallways, you'll at some point run across an interesting sight: A flying fox. Not one of the bats that's just called that, but an actual fox floating along at about head-height through the hallways.

Nightingale walking past behind it probably explains a lot. Or absolutely nothing. One of those. Either way, the fox is going to be making scrabbling motions in the air to try to latch onto anyone who walks past.]

[two_jedi_sticks]

[The person following along means it makes perfect sense for the fox to be floating. Jaina's quite familiar with telekinetics. But it doesn't stop her from making a surprised noise when it tries latching on as they pass each other, and attempt to push the thing away.]

No, little guy. Take it up with your friend.

[Why are animals! Jacen is the animals twin, she just makes the cages and aquariums.]

[experiencepoints]

Stratus, no.

[She waves a hand, and Stratus is pulled away, and lowered to the ground, where it... immediately starts whining. It just wants to be pet. :(]

Sorry, she likes flying.

lioriley | ota

[invigorates]

[ lioriley has been surprisingly absent from the bishop for most of the month. with the crazy amount of temporary jobs she's taken (as well as the more permanent one in the space bar), she's usually out and about the station more than wandering the ship like she normally would be. but, she does manage to stay aboard long enough to leave a gift for each of her crewmates (even the new ones!) in their bunks, along with a short note:

for those she knows:
Dear (name),
Thank you so much for welcoming me so readily aboard the Bishop.
Here is a token of my appreciation, and I apologize for not being able to give you more.
If there is anything you should ever need from me however, do not hesitate to find me.
- Sincerely, Lioriley.

and for those she doesn't (yet):
Welcome aboard the Bishop!
I am deeply sorry that we have not had the chance to talk yet, but hopefully that can be remedied soon!
My name is Lioriley and if you should ever need me, I will likely be in the medbay!

Take care! ]


ooc: the flowers don't need to be pink pretend they're color coordinated for the person or something.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Oh hey, flower petals she and Michiru didn't shed Haruka picks up her bouquet and turns it over before seeing the note. After reading it, she smiles, and picks a flower to stick in the buttonhole of her fancy new jacket.

She will be found around the ship, especially in the pilot's area checking up on things, with said flower on full display. ]

[invigorates]

[ lioriley hadn't bothered to pester her crewmates after she had sent the gifts — just assumed they would either accept or decline them on their own and be done with it. in fact, she hadn't even thought about the flowers until she passed haruka in the hallway, her eyes catching the hint of color on her lapel. she smiles. ]

Haruka. [ she says, tilting her head to peer up to the other woman. ] How are you? It has been some time since we last spoke, hm?

[arcanepower]

[Oh, this is from the elf lady. He's immediately embarrassed, seeing as he doesn't get gifts often. When Lioriley comes back from her shift, she'll find a handful of rose petal cookies, brushed with his usual edible glitter so they sparkle a bit. And a fancy cursive thank you note.

As for the flowers? He's the cook, so he displays them in the kitchen. That's his workspace after all. He's pretty easy to find now that he's had some time to deal with Adra's absence, cooking and doing chores like it comes naturally to him.]

[invigorates]

[ she hadn't expected a return gift! but if the way she smiles like a doofus and glows like the sun while reading the thank you note is any indication, she obviously appreciates it.

she grabs a hold of the cookies and heads out, making her way to the kitchen where she - unsurprisingly - finds just who she's looking for. she stops in the doorway and waits for a break in belth's busywork. ]

Belthazar. [ she chirps happily, ] Do you have a moment?

[two_jedi_sticks]

[After finding the flowers and note, Jaina's poking her head into the medbay, not entirely certain what to expect. It's a super friendly way to greet a new shipmate, but a random gift of flowers also pings as kind of odd in her perspective.]

Lioriley? I just wanted to stop in and say hello.

[invigorates]

[ when jaina arrives, lioriley is engrossed in one of the books she checked out from the station — her communicator propped on her lap as she sits beside one of the medical tables in the bay. the instant the door opens though she immediately looks up. ]

Hello. [ she says with a small smile, setting the device down on the table. ] Come in — I do not believe we have met yet. Are you new?

hino rei / visiting!! and ota

[flameandpassion]

[ you have two senshi on this ship, bishop, and therefore rei is going to hang out here too! and probably poke around into places where she's not entirely welcome

she's super nosy af ]

[actsmagnificent]

How's it compare?

[ Don't mind Haruka she's haunting the cockpit. She does that, sometimes. It's Her Space.

Well, she shares it with a small horse, but she tries not to think too hard about that. ]

[flameandpassion]

I think you have more space than we do.

[ with a slight huff, and she turns to haruka, tilting her head ]

We were doubled up for awhile. But I like it. It's obviously well loved, and it has a good feeling.
