Broadcast to the ship / action

[moonofmylife]

[Dany is still getting settled into the idea that she is now the captain of the Caprine. Several crew members have left and they currently have no pilot. The ship itself is stuck on autopilot for now because of it. Everyone is still suffering being in a cramped room of living quarters where the beds are all together but Dany has made herself home in the Captain's Office, just as she had done with Communications. Being one of the few women aboard the ship offered some liberties she took advantage of, even more so now that she was Captain.]

Hello and welcome, new members of the Caprine. Some of you I have met briefly already. Some of you I have not. Please, if you have any concerns or questions I would be happy to help. I am Daenerys Targaryen, the current Captain of the Caprine. Our previous Captain disappeared and by some grace of the Gods I was elected to take his place. I want to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone new and current to the crew. Thank you.

[She may have rehearsed that a bit. She can be found in the Captain's Office contemplating over papers or reading one of Qing's books.]

[athru]

[ Raven has been exploring, up and down and about, making herself comfortable and trying to make sure she knows what is going on aboard her ship. It's obvious she's a little frustrated, feeling more than just a little bit trapped, but she does her best to disguise it and shove it down rather than make an idiot out of herself; she's had more than enough of that feeling for an entire life. When she pushes the door of the captain's office open it's with a raised brow and a tilt of her head. ]

Captain Daenerys, right?

[ action?? ]

[precedented]

[ True to his word, Leto leaves a tiny gift on Daenerys' doorstep. It is wrapped neatly in a thin golden paper and seems pretty unassuming at first glance. When she does open it, she'll find a wooden dragon, carefully put together. A simple child's puzzle, easily put together. ]

Roger that, Captain. Hey, I know a pilot, if we don't get one in a new Shuffle.

[pneumo]

Wow...everyone's getting promoted lately!

audio.

[archaeotechnician]

[ "by some grace of the gods"?

oh, taking over this ship is going to be easy. ]

When you say disappeared, does that mean…poof gone?

[ one can almost picture her doing the "poof" hand gesture -- because she is. ]

action.

[athru]

[ Aboard the Caprine, the new security was a little more absent than most might expect of her.

Most of her time was spent moving from her ship over to Hank's, spending her time with him and hovering about his lab as if it's where she belonged rather than on the too-small, too-tight ship she'd been placed on. The discomfort she feels is obvious as she walks around, a frown on her lips as if her skin is practically crawling; she can't be herself, not entirely, and she hates it, mistrust and dislike of the general population making her anxious and on edge. Add that to the way that nothing feels right, the way that things were between herself, Erik, Charles and Hank...

It was no wonder she was out of sorts.

Finally, she makes her way out of the bunks where she had been hiding her head and explores properly, eventually leading herself down to the quiet hum of the engine room. Leaning back against the wall, she rests there with her eyes closed, basking in the peace and quiet, letting her skin change from pale to blue without hesitation - at least until she hears a noise of anyone approaching, the scales melting away to return her to blonde and pale (though perhaps not fast enough).

Otherwise, Raven spends her time in the cargo hold, using the gym equipment and generally keeping to herself, the memory of Erik's words hanging around her like some kind of metal weight. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Yyyeah, about that quiet engine room. Pinkie Pie the rather noisy engineer is in there, probably blocked from sight by the big honking engine in question, making sure THAT humming stays nice and quiet, even though HER humming's quite a bit louder. And WAY more cheerful. But she left her water bottle on the other side of the engine where Raven's sitting. They haven't had a LOT of opportunities to interact yet, but this little pony's DEFINITELY not letting this one slip by.]

Oh, hey, Raven!

action.

[forcesensitive]

[The other Security officer also tends to spend a lot of time with the workout equipment - Finn tends to be there in the early morning, working mainly on his PT exercises for his back. One time when he gets there, though, it's occupied - and he's impressed by the number of weights she can take.]

You want a spotter?

action.

[pneumo]

[ Fast enough when it comes to Sascha, at least, His eyesight is only at its best in near pitch-black environments, and the artificial bulbs of the ships are certainly not that. It's actually harder for him to see with those one, so even if she's a second or two late in fixing her appearance up she's safe as far as he's concerned, squinting past his pair of shades when he notices someone's actually in the engine room.

He thought he'd caught the scent of someone... ]

...Whoa, haha~ Someone's here! I thought I was just smelling things.

[archaeotechnician]

Whoa.

[ it could not be be helped. where there is machinery, there is aphra, and the woman already there manages to do something rare: be more interesting than the engines.

aphra grins. ] You a changeling?

action. (If this is okay!)

[passingthrough]

[Kitty doesn't belong here. It's not her ship and the only person on the roster she actually knows is Finn, but she's not here to find Finn. No one invited her. She's just been waiting for some sign of the second mutant shapeshifter on the network and so far nothing. She learned she was here from Kara of all people and then discussed her briefly with Hank. Finally, she just consulted the ship rosters. Of course the name "Raven Darkholme" appears on two, but she already knew where they'd put the other Mystique. So, she decided to visit the Caprine. This is what happens when you get someone curious and give them too much free time. Interesting that it would be this ship that Kurt was originally assigned to.

She lands her shuttle and instead of opening the door she just phases her way through it out into the cargo bay. Opening doors is tedious, okay? It just so happens when she departs she sees someone in the gym area. She doesn't recognize the blond and normally she would expect Mystique in nothing less than blue, but the woman she's looking for isn't her Mystique and the first thing the other one did was shapeshift into something "normal." So this could be anyone but Finn really.]

Raven? [She'll just start there. Maybe she gets an easy yes. Maybe she'll be pointed in the right direction. Maybe she's not even on board right now. Who knows.]

[forcesensitive]

[Finn's settling in more and more. As strange as it is, this ship is already more of a home to him than anywhere he's been before - he can have personal possessions, he has his own assigned bunk, he can eat whatever and whenever he wants, and he even gets along with the rest of the crew. Mostly. That is, he hasn't butted heads with anyone yet.

Also he's asked his best friend to transfer over and be the new pilot, since they're lacking one, so he's excited about that.

While they're still near the moon, Finn is still out and about more than he's on the ship, so the best bet of catching him is around mealtimes, when he creates ever more ridiculous combinations of the protein gels to munch on.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Diiid somebody say ridiculous cooking experiments~?]

Hiya, Finn~ Ooh, whatcha making this time?

[pneumo]

[ Finn...Finn why, why would you mess with the protein jelly that stuff is so icky. It doesn't even taste like real protein!!

...Not that Sascha would know I mean, since he can't actually eat it without throwing up, but still. It carries an unpleasant, paste-y smell that Sascha isn't very fond of, so when he catches it he's going to follow it to the source and squint, heavily. Right through his ridiculous sunglasses. ]

...Is it you? [ Are you the mad scientist making this unappetizing smell mister ]

[archaeotechnician]

What are you making?

[ this is aphra. this is aphra sitting on a counter like an asshole.

when did she walk in? ]

Action/text, but feel free to interact with her however

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Unlike some of the quieter members, there's really nowhere on the Caprine that you CAN'T run into Pinkie Pie. If she's not in the engine room maintaining the engine or tinkering with some crazy new contraption, she'll be in the kitchen baking or popping in to see if anybody wants to chat.

And if she's not onboard, she's probably visiting one of the other ships, or down on the planet, sporting a pretty cute gas mask, shopping for local, not-gel-based foods and ingredients, and trying to see if she can get some intel about the pollution thing for Steve... whenever she's not too distracted.

About a week or so into her tenure, though, there'll be a text sent to all of her crewmates' communicators.]

action; ota (despite the ic callout)

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka stands in the cargo hold of the Caprine, hands resting on her hips, grinning playfully.]

Finn! [She calls out, and her voice echoes nice and loud around the place.] You ready to get your butt kicked?

[archaeotechnician]

Oh, you're way too late, kiddo. Pancakes beat you to it.

[ barely acquaintances, already dragging the poor guy.

drawn by the shouts, aphra perches on a box. her feet kick idly. she carries with her one of the cleaning droids, its interior exposed. ]

action;

[forcesensitive]

[After a few minutes, Finn makes his way over and grins brightly. He's wearing the standard issue light armor that Atroma gives to Security personnel, and he's got both the staff Obi-Wan gave him and a weighted practice sword from down on the planet.]

Hey Ahsoka! I'm ready if you are!

OTA

[helluva_pilot]

[Hello Caprine, your new pilot has transferred in!

Poe's a friendly guy, pretty outgoing, generally helpful. While they're still at the moon, there's not a whole lot for him to do, so he's looking to fly people around in the shuttles if there's anyone who doesn't want to fly themselves--or go out on joy rides on his own.

He does miss the private quarters, though. Well, he's had to share barracks before, not a big deal. When he's not flying or wandering around on the moon, he'll be hanging out in the kitchen or on his bunk, reading. But he's happy to be interrupted for conversation.]

[forcesensitive]

[Oh hey there new pilot, it's your security officer and he's rushing through the ship as soon as he hears the little jingle announcing the Shuffle.]

Poe! You made it!

[Poe's getting a hug.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[HOORAY Pinkie didn't need to seduce Cheese!

Nah, seriously, it's nice that the Caprine has a pilot again, and Pinkie's REALLY excited to actually be onboard for this shuffle since she didn't get to greet Raven or Aphra last time. Time to get her party pony groove on!]

Surpriiiiiise~!
