[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!]

[ so perhaps she is entirely not suited for much exercise in her silks and well kept hair but that hardly means one margaery tyrell cannot watch now can it? at home, she did favor watching tournaments and horseback riding but this is quite the same concept and she is quite good at cheering.

he might hear her applause when he does get the whole course right. ]

_{[ Whether she is suited for it or not she certainly cuts a striking, jewel like figure in the otherwise dim landscape. He catches someone bright out of the corner of his eye, but his attention has to be with the man who had pushed him into the ring in the first place. He'd already suffered a fall and was coated in mud, but then so was his opponent.

The ending came when he delivered a hard punch to the man's thigh, swatted him with the noodle, and then planted his boot on his rear and pushed. He dropped the foam bat and smacked his hands in a wiping motion, marching towards the exit and up and out. He spied Maergery, that bright flash of jewel, and he smiled at her, bowing and doing his best to look respectable despite his mud covered looks. ]}

I had a feeling you would win.

[ she grins, obviously pleased. it is not exactly a tournament, not the king she is used to anyway but margaery is competitive at her core and even if she cannot fight, having loras for a ( favorite ) brother means that she is very used to be rooting for the victor of such matches ]

What shall you be given for such a victory??

I would be daring and say a kiss, but that would soil you, and I could never forgive myself for that.

_{[ He tried wiping at his face again, the mud dried enough that it was cracking off now, which at least meant he was getting it off rather than merely smearing it around. ]}

So instead, perhaps your company while I dry out and find something else to change into?

I do not know that my company is a glorious enough of a prize but I shall attempt to make it so.

[ she does not seem to mind the mud, minds it even less than loras does. it is a funny matter than she is the more adventurous one of her kin, less troubled by dirt and dust than most of the ladies in the realm ]

I would offer to find some water but from the words of warnings I have heard, they are to be kept away from.

_{[ Which is a well and good thing since he's covered in it. At least it doesn't reek, though he can feel it in places a man really does not ever want mud going. ]}

Hah, it's fine. I'm sure if I walk around long enough, this will dry and then we can take a chisel and hammer to me and break me out.

What brings you planet-side, Margaery?

Like a stature? You are fortunately handsome, Captain, they shall think me the finest artist in this land.

[ and as for the question, she smiles and shakes her head ]

I am only happy to be able to walk about on solid ground for a change, I admit. And what better way to enjoy it than with company?

_{[ He laughed at that and tipped his head to her in acknowledgement of the compliment. A silver tongue on this one... ]}

You have me there. I always prefer company, when it can be had. Ah, if you give me just enough time to find something else to change into, I can escort you around if you like? There's some very nice artistic pieces scattered around and in the museum, if that sort of thing interests you.

[ the wickedest silver tongue, yes. the little queen is said to be as sharp as she is pretty but then again, all roses have their sharpness to them ]

You are so kind to offer, I have been intending to travel about but it does get very boring when I am entirely by myself.

[ she takes a seat, prim and proper as that ]

I shall wait, Captain, as long as you please.

I'll try to be as quick as I can.

_{[ He bowed and went in search of clothing - cheap but serviceable and a place to dump the clothing he did have on because it was frankly unsalvageable. He didn't think their clothes washer on the ship could handle the gunk and wasn't going to risk breaking it.

He came back around twenty minutes later in clean clothing and his hair damp, but no longer muddy. ]}

Ah, sorry about that - took a bit longer than I thought to get the mud out. I have no idea what they make that stuff out of, but I'mg lad I didn't try to put it through the washing machine.

_{[ He held out his arm to her. ]}

Shall we then?

You need not apologize, I was watching the others as they compete. they do seem to favor this manner of tournaments here, do they not?

[ odd. she is not used to any manner of tournament that doesn't involve riding horses. she is certain loras would have done well at any such competition but he was best at jousting, after all

a moment later she takes his arm ]

tell me how you have been, captain.

So it would seem. I think it's a way to cut back on crime and provide an outlet for aggression.

_{[ That was his thoughts on the matter, though as his experience had demonstrated it could easily be used as a method to bully and intimidate.

He begins walking with her through the streets, trying to recall where he had seem some more colorful walls to show her. ]}

Well enough. Nothing to very exciting to report, I am afraid. The ships are a bit to small for me to get up to to much trouble. What of yourself?

A fine thought.

[ would that she could say the same will work for her own realm. she had seen her share of tourneys and yet violence and aggression seemed to flow in westeros' veins despite it all.

yet stability can be reached if not peace, she is certain of at least that. ]

I am adjusting well, captain, it is kind of you to ask. I am still learning - I fear there is much others know and I do not.

It's better than some methods I've seen at least.

_{[ But that seemed a dour subject to be discussing, so he tried to move off it as he guided Maegery towards one of the lovelier murals he'd come across in his explorations. ]}

That just feels like the status quo, though. The more I explore of the universe, the more I tend to realize how little I actually know about anything.

I suppose these journeys make us all more humble, do they not? lords and ladies and kings and queens and captains, we are all still learning new things about this odd world.

[ she does tug him a little quicker as soon as she sees it ]

oh, it's beautiful. I love the details and the colors, look how they all come together. I've never seen anything like this before.

That's the beauty of it. There's always something more to discover - the journey is never done.

_{[ He chuckles and lets her tug, picking up his pace. ]}

It's amazing how art differs between cultures.

it is. Have you ever seen something quite like it, Captain? Well I trust you have, after all.

[ she looks up at him with a little grin ]

You are a seasoned traveler.

Well, not like this. That's the beauty of the universe as a whole. Things might look similar, but they're not and more often than not they're entirely new.

_{[ He watched her, smiling like a doting older brother. ]}

I know some people who would argue that. I'm actually the youngest captain in Star Fleet's history.
