driftfleet | May Mingle (Caprine)

[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.]

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[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.]

Hi, guys! Pinkie Pie here!

I was thinking since I'm new and some of you guys are too, I wanna get to know you more! And this survey will REALLY help me keep track of stuff, especially when special occasions come around! Feel free to fill it out when you've got a free moment! You can either text me back, write me a note, or find me and tell me yourself! I LOVE talking with my friends!

What's your name?
When's your birthday? How old are you? If you're from a different world, wanna talk so I can fix up the calendar and figure out when your birthday would be here?
When did you get here?
What are your favorite foods and drinks?
Are there any foods you can't have?
What are your favorite things?
Any friends you want me to throw parties for?
Anything you want me to make? I'd LOVE new engineering ideas!

[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?

[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.]
