han solo | this is your pilot speaking.

[falconing]

[ broadcast, shipwide ]

[ there is a faint crackle before your ever-familiar grumpy pilot's voice appears. ]

This is your monthly reminder to not touch anything that doesn't belong to you. Including the piloting controls.

Here's to another month without the ship exploding.

[ action, shipwide ]

[ han can usually be found at the piloting station, in the engineering bay, or his personal quarters when he's on board! enjoy talking to someone who probably thinks he has better things to do than talk to you. sorry for his existence. ]

[bloodbiter]

...May I ask if this has happened frequently in the past? People without a pilot augment fiddling with the controls.

[what kind of ship has she been assigned to.]

voice;

[nerdeology]

[oh hey it's that awkward guy who can't see him yet. have an empty screen.]

Shouldn't you be following your own advice?

[scrubscrub]

[HEY BRO, WHAT'S UP.

Koala is coming over to you with the most important of questions. She's also wearing a totally new dress she'd purchased a few weeks ago; Koala doesn't really see the changes, but she's been settling in much more. Unconsciously. Obi-Wan had told her as much, and she's finally just starting to really feel it.]

Mr. Solo!

I've... I've purchased a game, and I think we should play it!

[It's Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Only the Hippos are weird little alien grub-monsters.

Hungry Hungry *gibberish alien language*.]

[ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Dryly. ]

I think it's clear that the controls belong to you at this point. Do you need some time alone with them too?

[princessia]

[ Elize shows up in the piloting station to visit, hair done up in pigtails today and holding her staff in one hand and a tote bag in the other.

She guessed Han would be here. She's smiling, a genuine one. ]

I hope no one's giving you trouble today, Han.

[speedboat]

Technically they belong to me too, pal. [ hi han he has already dubbed u pilot #1. he now sees why. ]

action

[two_jedi_sticks]

[When Jaina finally gets a chance to visit the Huntress for herself, she jumps on it. It's a good thing Ahsoka showed her how to keep track of manifests. Somewhat unannounced, so she's probably going to surprise him trying to let herself into his personal quarters.]

Dad, catch.

[She's tossing him a spare metal bolt shortly. Hope he's got some decent reflexes.]

hino rei | visiting!

[flameandpassion]

[ for one, this is greed's ship, and rei is nosy and wants to see whether or not the entire place is a den of sin like he is. for another, mikleo and his friend are on board here, and rei is morbidly curious to see if the people here know they have a mostly not dead water ghost on board.

so enjoy having a priestess with long dark hair probably poking around where she shouldn't be, and being entirely unapologetic about it. ]

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo's not exactly the most welcoming or chipper part of the Huntress, but Rei is one familiar face he's pleased to see, so she gets a smile when he notices her on the ship.]

Hello again. Come to visit?

[scrubscrub]

[LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKING DEN OF SIN

....................... It's sparkling clean.]

Hello! Are you a new visitor, or a new crewmate? I'm Koala, and I'll be helping you with whatever you need!

[Sorry for the creepy smile, she's gotten better at making it more natural?]

adelina | introductions time

[bloodbiter]

[shipwide video]

[the young woman on the screen still doesn't look like she understands this device, but there's a polite smile on her face all the same as she begins speaking in a light and proper voice.]

Hello, my name is Adelina. I've just been assigned to this ship, and I look forward to meeting you all. I have a security augment, so if someone could point me towards the armory, I would appreciate it. If you have a moment to introduce yourself, I would appreciate that as well.

[action]

[later on, she can be found wandering through the ship in a long dress, the same thing she was last wearing when she left home. despite how frustrated she is by these circumstances, she seems fairly calm, even curious, as she looks around.

if she sees anyone nearby, she'll raise a gloved hand in greeting.]

action

[avaricious]

[Greed isn't the most personable kind of person even on the best of days. But with the recent events that happened with him and Alphonse and the still lingering absence of his counterpart, he was less patient than ever. Dealing with new crew was not what was ideal.

But he did it anyway. But seeing the sight of their new security chief only managed to irritate him more.]

You're our new security?

[scrubscrub]

[Oh, what a lovely dress! And she seems — very much like she could be a noble, or something of that sort! While her terror for their potential appearances has dissipated just a bit, she's still anxious; she doesn't want any trouble! But at least this woman looks much kinder than any noble from home, much like Leia.

She approaches with a smile, and an offer of a tray with tea and simple snacks (which are odd snacks to be sure, thanks to the oddities of space food, but they're not too bad). She has a very wide smile; a bit forced, it seems.]

Hello Miss! Welcome to the SS Huntress! Would you like some tea?

Or would you like me to prepare you something else? I wouldn't mind! I'm here to help in any way I can for you, so don't hesitate to ask, and I'll go right to it.

[ action ]

[beardstrokes]

[ That's . . . certainly quite a dress. Akin to what Satine or Padme would wear for one of their political meetups or sessions. Looking at it briefly brings about a surge of nostalgia he was not prepared for and he turns his gaze away for a second before walking up to her. ]

Welcome aboard. I take it you are our new security officer?

action

[monolike]

[Oh! It's that proper lady from the park that one time! Sorey spots her as he exits engineering, smudged just about everywhere with grease and oil and various other liquids necessary to the proper maintenance of the ship's innards. He sticks his hand up in greeting, perking as he jogs over.]

Oh, hi again! Are you here visiting?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ The dress is noteworthy, or at least that's his first thought upon seeing her when she enters the kitchen in her exploration. He even pauses in his own actions, armed with a knife that he'd been using to slice some unknown fruit or another to add to tonight's dinner.

Charming. ]

... so there you are. I presume you've found the armory. [ Meet the Huntress's much less formally dressed and incredibly dour one-armed ninja cook. ]

video;

[speedboat]

Well, hello, gorgeous.

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo has very little use for money and even less for most material things, besides some books and the occasional self-indulgence knick knack. The money he'd earned through various means on the station thus went to fetching some decent food supplies, most of which he's been hiding away to avoid them all getting used up too quickly.

Today, though, he's sharing- the kitchen smells great, the air sweet and fresh, and on the counter there are two plates from which the scents are wafting. One hold a plate of egg buns, and the other has an actual cake, still warm from the oven and dripping with a sweet glaze. There's a little paper sign in front of the plates that says "For the entire crew. Ice cream in the fridge. Don't be greedy." Who knows if this is a dig at the captain or not, this ship is a recognized mess on multiple levels.

Mikleo himself is doing dishes! Or, for those without resonance, the dishes are doing themselves. Sorcery!!

If not the kitchen, Mikleo's hanging out in his (or Sorey's) room, transcribing some notes from a borrowed digital library book onto actual paper, in the book Sorey had purchased. When they leave the station, he wants to make sure they won't regret not recording something.]

1/2

[scrubscrub]

[Koala is merrily coming along to do just what Mikleo is doing! After all, the dishes must be kept clean and ready, for the sake of her crew. It might as well be Mr. Rogers up in here, because she's humming, space is pleasant today, and she's feeling surprisingly good about her life here right now.

A mental representation of her mind:

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Could you be mine?
Would you —]

2/3 shhh

[scrubscrub]

[............................... Ah.

The dishes are bathing themselves. How interesting and responsible of them.

............]

visiting

[princessia]

[ A little blonde-haired girl is visiting her former ship again, this time looking in much better spirits. And today Elize has her hair done up in pigtails with ribbons that have pink glowy strips on them. Luckily, the glow isn't over the top and actually looks decent on her.

In one hand is her mage staff and in the other arm is a tote bag with her stuffed animal sticking out near the top. She must have recently finished a shopping trip on the station. She won't head into anyone's bedrooms or anything, but she's wandering around other areas of the ship. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan had just finished his shift piloting the hunk of metal (you can tell how fond he is of it and flying) and was finally heading back to his room. He had a few more chords he needed to practice on for his guitar skills to improve. He, however, pauses when he spots Elize. ]

Hello. Welcome aboard once more.

[beardstrokes]

[ ACTION ]

[ It was a little too cramped in his room for guitar playing and he preferred having a view nearby. The Force curls around him, a pleasant committed silence. It was nice to know that the Force doesn't seem to disapprove. Obi-Wan hardly expects to be serving anyone with his amateur guitar skills. . . he's not even sure if he's helping himself, but the doubts slip away as the sounds begin to filter through. ]

[ WILDCARD. ]

[ Visit him in his room or anywhere else, everything is fair game. ]

[diplomacme]

[ She promised to find Koala fun things to do, so she's visiting the Huntress to deliver on her promise. Padmé may have gone a bit overboard but it's nice to spend time focusing on something relatively normal compared to everything else in her life lately.

She also has a few things for Obi-Wan, simply because she wanted to. In fact, she's looking for him when she hears music in the distance. It's the slow, careful notes of an amateur but it's otherwise not bad. Curious, she follows the source to find the musician.

It's Obi-Wan.

She's a bit surprised, but isn't music a little like meditation?

Padmé is unwilling to interrupt or break his focus so she takes the role of attentive listener for now. ]

visiting

[flickerflash]

[Don't mind the kitten slinking onto your ship while still at the station. She's here mainly to be cute at Koala.

It's her role in life. Be adored by small children everywhere. --okay that isn't actually far from the truth, but she never could turn down a small child in need of a friend, that's what Katie is for. She's trying not to attract attention, and she is a small kitten currently, but rumour has it that this ship is full of very observant people, so. If unimpeded / undistracted / uneaten by Greed, she'll wind her way to Koala's room.

Warning: may turn into a small child without much notice. Blink and you'll literally miss it.]

I'm sorry

[eyeforaneye]

[ All he really wants is to go back to his room for a short nap after a particularly grueling workout session, but...

Well, the thought of rest is momentarily snatched from his mind when he rounds the corner to the main hall only to nearly step on a cat. A kitten, really. Small, unassuming, and completely out of place on a ship like the Huntress.

Sasuke does what he does best, then. He stares and he stares intensely. ]

You don't belong here. [ Whether he realizes at first glance that this is more than just an ordinary cat has no bearing on his choice to speak; he's far too accustomed to talking animals. ]

[avaricious]

Greed isn't easy to deal with on a normal day, but ever since the start of the month and a certain explosive rebound, he's been worse than usual. Unlike the month previous where he spent all his time on the Starlight living the good life by making money, Greed has spent more time on the ship - typically in his own quarters. When he captains, it's only to bark orders at people who are in his way to shove off and do whatever they're supposed to be doing. And only then it's so he can head to the cargo bay and use the punching bag as a way to take out his frustrations.

He'd failed to return to his own world and in doing so, paid a price he had never once considered. Greed was alone now and there was nothing in the world quite so infuriating as losing his most prized possession. Ling Yao had become lost within his torrent of souls and might very well have been used up during the transmutation and he was left with no idea what he was supposed to do with himself now.

[resnipstance]

[Hope you're enjoying yourself today Greed, because one of your least favourite people is knocking on your door today.]

Knock knock. Hey, it's me. Ahsoka. Open up.
