[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

MASK SHOPPING

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-28 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[It probably comes as no surprise that Suzie's really not having a good time on the YuckMoon™. Part of it, certainly, is simple aesthetics; it doesn't matter how cute of a mask you find, it's still damn difficult to look or feel cute from behind a full-face apparatus in the first place, and she very obviously doesn't. Moreover, the moon is just gross — it's polluted and grody, and the antithesis of the fresh, growing sorts of places that she likes to daydream about visiting after long stretches of time canned up in the fleet.

But she's trying to make the best of it, as always, and a lot of times making the best of things includes engaging in things that are familiar, so the fact that she's out shopping with Lisa Lisa today probably comes as no surprise when that's about as familiar as it gets.

...Of course, there's one minor silver lining to the mask issue, certainly.]


Ah! Madame Lisa Lisa, I found two more! This one has a wider panel for the eyes and shows more of the face, but this other one is a nicer color, and has sleeker lines...

[...The fact that her usual indecisive chatter is distant and muffled from behind her full-face mask, thank god.]

[ Eh, Lisa Lisa doesn't mind the chatter so much, it's something familiar. Just like shopping with Suzie! And she's moving a little closer to check out the masks that Suzie's found. ]

It is a nicer color.

[ Of course, she's also muffled by her own mask. God, she hates this stupid thing. ]

Which do you think would go best with a suit?
ragazzina: (HMMM ✿ wait was i supposed to phone)

i'm so sorry, i fell asleep after work yesterday instead of getting back on top of this

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-29 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmmmmmm...

[Externally, it doesn't look like she's changed facial expression much, which probably means she's pursing her lips in deep thought and it just doesn't show.]

I think for something like a suit, it's really important to also have Madame Lisa Lisa's beautiful face! So...mm, but sleeker lines would be better fitting for a well-cut suit...

[OH LORD, HERE WE GO.]

...I think either one is nice, but...

[CAN SHE DO IT????]

...I think the one with the wider panel, because the most important part of wearing a suit is having all eyes drawn to the face.

[oh my god she did it]
hitbyakar: (you shoot me down;)

<3 all good!!

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ AMAZING. We are so proud of you, Suzie. ]

It's true, a suit does draw the eye up that way naturally. All right, I'll get this one, then.

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-30 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, it's really a shame, isn't it? The station we were at was so nice, and then we had to leave it to come to a place like this...

[Even her magnificent powers of optimism are hard-pressed to find something nice to say about this particular moon, alas.]

It's all right, and the people are nice enough when they're not fighting, but...
hitbyakar: (had my cake now;)

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I'm all too pleased with it, myself.

[ It's gross. And dammit if they have all this technology why can't they go somewhere nice all the time. ]

But upon reading back further to see where this fleet has gone before we arrived, it seems it isn't uncommon to visit just as many unsatisfactory places as we do nice ones.
ragazzina: (INTENT ✿ whoa i can count your pores)

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-30 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Oh...I wonder why the fleet chooses the places they choose to stop at. It can't really be just random chance, can it?
hitbyakar: (done it all;)

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It seems to go back and forth between more populated areas and more remote areas.

[ Almost as though ... ]

In some ways, it seems like we are hiding, on and off.
ragazzina: (HMMM ✿ wait was i supposed to phone)

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-30 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hiding?

[This is a thought that has legitimately never occurred to her before. Mostly because she doesn't think about the implications of things like that all that often, but still.]

But then...if we're hiding, then there must be something to be hiding...from...
hitbyakar: (i'm bulletproof - nothing to lose;)

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
That would be the logical conclusion.

[ She picks up her new mask, inspecting it for any flaws or defects before she takes it up to pay for it. ]

But there isn't enough information to prove it.
ragazzina: (BLUSH ✿ backstreet boys intensifies)

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-30 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah — should I go look for some other ones like that, in different colors? Or maybe a nice scarf to go with it, to cover your hair in the parts that the mask doesn't catch...

[But anyway, back to business.]

Is...that really something that'd be good to have proven? If it did, then...it'd take whoever was chasing us to find us, wouldn't it?
hitbyakar: (when i've got nothing;)

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps.

[ ... Yeah, maybe it's best that they don't. Though, whoever is chasing them might be trying to save them? Who knows. She looks over at Suzie. ]

Yes, I think some other colors might be nice. This gray won't go with my red suit at all.
ragazzina: (DOKI ✿ oh my god he's so dreeeamy)

[personal profile] ragazzina 2016-03-30 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll go find some! I think they're over here on a shelf, it'll just be a minute!

[And ZOOM off she goes.]
hitbyakar: (but my aching soul;)

[personal profile] hitbyakar 2016-03-30 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Go Suzie go! Meanwhile, she's picking up something like this and wondering if Suzie might wear it. It does have polka dots ... ]
