Haruka Tenoh

[actsmagnificent]

[ a - arrival ]

[ Haruka may not always seem like the romantic sort, but she has Opinions about moons. Well, one moon in particular, but it - and what it stands for - is important to her, okay. So while she gamely dons her gas mask for a look around the place, her expression is one of disgust mingled with disbelief. ]

This is awful.

[ Atroma must be mocking them to shove this at them on the heels of space casino. ]

[ b - exploring the wilderness ]

[ Haruka isn't quite sure what she's hoping to find out here. The city made her feel like she had to get away, but the lack of clean air means going for long rambles doesn't exactly clear her head the way it usually does.

Still, she's started, so she'll finish it. What could they be doing here? Forewarned is forearmed. ]

[ c - i believe someone said shuttle races ]

[ It doesn't really matter whether the Bishop made or lost money on the gumball transaction. Haruka is returning to the ship with pockets that make a suspicious jingling noise, rambling in her most nonchalant manner.

This, of course, means she's been up to something. ]

[robitussin]

[someone has the same disgusted expression, and sighs before speaking up.]

This is bullshit. I thought after our accounts were unfrozen we might actually get to do something... And then we land here.

[actsmagnificent]

They can't all be casinos. [ Haruka looks around. Far be it from her to judge, but....it must be a hardy bunch of people who live here.

She kneels to take a look at the ground and pauses. The dirt is oily. ]

[robitussin]

I don't need them all to be casinos, but I would like them to not be post apocalyptic bullshit.

[she pauses for a moment, watching the young woman kneel down]

You sure touching that is a good plan?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Now that she's done so? No. But Haruka won't admit as much, taking out a handkerchief - she's a classy lady, okay - and wiping off her fingertips. ] I wonder if they even have supplies we'd need.

[robitussin]

Supplies we'd need for what, exactly?

[but either way-]

Guess there's only one way to find out... If we don't die of pollution poisoning or whatever.

[actsmagnificent]

[ With a chuckle, Haruka gestures towards the nearest town. This is the first time she's actually looked her fellow, ah, adventurer's way, and when their eyes meet, she definitely smiles.

Normally it'd be hard to tell that in the gas mask, but the air does have a tendency to sparkle when Haruka grins. ] After you.

[ A ]

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro adjusts his mask, making sure it's properly on him. ]

Which part?

[actsmagnificent]

Do I need to specify?

[ Still looking around. Still not happy.

She also may not have realized she'd spoken aloud earlier until this guy, you know, replied to her, but she covers it well. ]

[axeboyfriend]

[ He huffs a brief laugh. ]

On second thought, I can probably guess.

[ He can guess she didn't mean to speak out loud, but it's not like he's going to call her out on it. ]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Thanks for that. Well, except not - because that is definitely something she's not going to say - but her hackles go down a little all the same. ] Are you going exploring?

[axeboyfriend]

I thought I might.

[ He glances around. ]

It's gloomy, but I'm tired of feeling cooped up.

[actsmagnificent]

[ See, she'd know that feeling too. Except something's missing from this puzzle, and once she realizes what it is, she also realizes just how much the wrongness of this place has gotten to her. This should have been the first thing she consciously noticed. ] There's no wind.

[incousinswithyou]

[sidelong glance at you, in spite of the gas mask.]

Isn't it?

[now here's a thought. Could the moons and planets here have their own senshi?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ This is the first time Uranus has considered that, aside from a sort of dismissive sense earlier that, if they did, those soldiers didn't have a clue what they were doing. But this is on another level altogether. No one should have let this get this bad, even to try and support life on the moon.

When she figures out what in particular has her the most disgusted, she actually emotes. Out loud. ] There's no wind....

[incousinswithyou]

[she blinks and then closes her eyes for a moment, as if feeling for it.]

It's not very promising. [looks like she's agreeing with you]

[actsmagnificent]

Don't they mind living in what they created? [ Haruka is on the verge of a Brooding Fit. A group of people forced to eke out their existence surrounded by the physical proof of their sins seems appropriate, to her.

Except for the part where nobody seemed particularly put out by the environment. That part is weird. ]

[incousinswithyou]

It looks like they've accepted it. [and the consequences. It's their choice, isn't it?

Though if they were stuck here for more than month, she wouldn't be very happy either.]

[actsmagnificent]

...They'd have to. [ Agh. Ignore her. This isn't fruitful.

Haruka sighs, wishing that were a more liberating action - the gas mask in the way takes its toll. ] We might as well see if there's anything worth picking up.

[ Forgive her for being in a funk? She'll try to snap out of it. ]

[two_jedi_sticks]

[Jaina isn't spending too much time at the ship -- there's so many ways for her to be getting in trouble right now, and poking at the terraforming-gone-wrong is at the top of the list -- but Jaina does want to investigate that jingling.]

Hey! Did you find anything good out there?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Oh hey, the kid. Haruka shrugs, prompting the umpteenth jingle of the day. ] There isn't much.

[ Period. Not just good. There just...isn't....much...on this moon. ]

[two_jedi_sticks]

There's always something. Even trouble.

[Which is foremost on Jaina's agenda, the risk of having a young jedi around.]

Something had to stand out. Pick anything.

[actsmagnificent]

[ A chuckle. ] Well, there's too much dirt.

[ It's....not inaccurate....or dishonest... ]

[two_jedi_sticks]

It's not much of a planetoid without dirt.

[Shoving hands in her jumpsuit's pockets, grinning away as she comes to her own conclusion on why Harkuka gives that answer.]

We've been drifting too long. You prefer it up there.

[actsmagnificent]

That's an awfully confident statement. [ Haruka laughs. The truth is somewhere in between, but now she's curious. ]
