Comments

Dany | OTA

[moonofmylife]

[Dany can be found wandering the Caprine, a cup of tea in hand as she makes the rounds to various parts of the ship. Her silver-blonde hair hung loose for a change, but for a pair of braids that weaved the sides of her head and joined at the back. She no longer pressed herself to stand out in opulent clothes, though she still avoided the standard issue uniform. Having fashioned herself simple clothes that resembled closely those she had worn while traveling among the Dothraki - the simplest made she could do - she found it easy to move about in riding pants and a woven top, versus her flowing gowns made of silks. This, and other little happenings of late had made her feel homesick for her people and miss her Sun and Stars, though she did not betray her emotions to others.

Lost in thought, Dany stops on her way to Engineering - perhaps Pinkie would not set anything on fire today? - to look over logs and notes as they were presented to her by various departments of the ship. Qing handled a lion's share of the work, but there were times when she knew a personal touch was needed. The Caprine was in good hands in her care. Anyone looking to seek out the young Captain would find her leaning against a wall, the logs in her hands and completely focused on her work.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She set something on fire ONE TIME! Due to chaotic intervention! And she bought the stinking Bath upgrade to make up for it!

Still, no electrical components to this one, so Dany shouldn't have to worry too much.]

Oh hey, Captain Danaerys! How's it going!

[moonofmylife]

[Oh Pinkie... for a horse, she was a special one. It made her wonder what words her silver would have for her, if she could talk.]

I am well, checking on the new additions. How are things on your end?

[The upgrades had shown up quickly and Dany was glad to finally have a bed chamber of her own and a bathroom fitting it as well. She was glad for it. Everyone did their part to oversee upgrades and to help one another aboard the ship.]

[precedented]

[ Leto is not sneaky by nature. Certainly, he has the skills for it, the speed to leave and to slip in the spaces. His appearance always garners attention but rarely do people dwell on it. They usually catch sight of his eerie blue eyes and all thoughts vanish.

Leto sets the box on the floor and straightens. He had never performed these kinds of courtship. He was more skillful in words and deeds, though he had a flair for gift giving. He liked to fashion them with his hands using simple materials. Possessions mean little to him these days, when you hold the Empire in the palm of your hand. ]

[moonofmylife]

[Leto had come to grab her attention by more than just his appearance. Daenerys had come to hold some level of anticipation as she waited to see when he might mysteriously come and go aboard the Caprine. While possessions meant little to her, having grown up with so little, the fact that he was still catering to the terms of her forceful assertion that he prove himself was enough to set her heart fluttering. It reminded her too much of Daario, that subtle affection that she had long thought escaped her with the death of Khal Drogo.

Daario had reawoken a part of her long dead, but still heavily guarded. She knew not to trust herself to open up again, despite how much she had cared for him. Dany had loved his blue hair and the cocksure way he carried himself. She wondered if marrying H'zdar had cost her something more important, even if her people would always come first. She had none of those things here, and yet she still hesitated with what to do with Leto, even if she treasured his gift.

Dany felt conflicted in accepting the gift, hoping for a chance to see him in person and thank him. Now that she was given the opportunity, the words 'Thank you' are lost in favor of surprise.]

Is that another gift?

[Seven Hells, Daenerys hoped it was just some sort of package he was bringing just for the Caprine, instead of herself. Her violet eyes widen as she takes in the box and then Leto himself. This was their first meeting in person and he surely didn't disappoint. His blue eyes were striking, but she felt unphased by them, having grown used to her own strange look. Silver hair and violet eyes were a mark of House Targaryen that carried through generations from the days of Valyria and those who had conquered Westeros from the Andals and the First Men.]

assuming they've already met...?

[helluva_pilot]

[Poe's taken a short break to make himself a drink--the autopilot is perfectly adequate on the ship, which means he spends a lot of time feeling bored. He gives Dany a friendly wave as he passes by.]

Everything looking good today, ma'am?

of course!!

[moonofmylife]

[They had gotten by so far on the autopilot function, since losing their last pilot, but Dany was forever glad to have Poe, who had come highly recommended to her. He was friendly and got on well with the rest of the crew. She certainly owed Finn a great deal for finding him.]

So far, yes. I'll be happy when we land somewhere else, wherever that may end up being.

[Hopefully that wouldn't doom them.]

Qing | OTA

[shoujoreject]

[Your First Mate hasn't changed much in his daily routines. He sleeps little, wakes early, ensures that everything in the kitchen is in order. Sometimes he'll also be making recipes, though his supplies are starting to run low now.

He can also be found in his room or the common area, usually sewing or reading. Or wherever, tbh, if you have another idea!]

[moonofmylife]

[Dany approaches the kitchens, hoping to scrounge up some food before starting her work for the day - Qing was always the first to rise and the last to fall asleep, she's learned. She owed him a great deal. When she finds him, unsurprisingly, in the kitchen before she is, Dany gives a small wave in greeting and makes a beeline for the tea dispenser.]

Have you eaten yet?

[He looked as if he was making something already, but it didn't hurt to ask.]

[shoujoreject]

[He looks up when Dany's footsteps catch his ears, the same bright smile on his face as ever. Hands wrist-deep in dough, he nods a response to the wave, then shakes his head.]

Not yet, I'm just making some noodles to put in a soup. Would you like some?

[He's pretty much always making something here, isn't he.]

Backdated to when it was actually June XD

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Today's a wonderful day on the Caprine back before the June Winter hit. And wouldn't you know it, Pinkie wants some company for her latest cooking project, and the other crewmates are busy. Time to bug Qing!]

Qiiiing, where AAAARE you~?

WHAT YOU MEAN IT'S NOT JUNE ANYMORE?!?

[shoujoreject]

[He doesn't hear Pinkie, despite her general volume, between the end of his shower and the preoccupation he has in his thoughts. The light in his room is on, though, and by the time she'll have come to investigate he'll be out of the little shower cubicle and drying off.

More specifically, he's wrapped a towel around his hips and is dab-drying his hair when the door opens, blinking once.]

Ah, Pinkie-

[Well, that's a little awkward.]

Visiting Pinkie but also OTA

[preformthisneigh]

[After getting Pinkie's rather distressing message, Cheese hopped onto a shuffle and made right for the Caprine. Crew will find yet another tiny horse wandering the corridors of the ship, this one albeit being a lot more lanky and a lot less pink. He looks worried, feel free to talk to him while he searches around for his friend. He also has a rubber chicken draped across his back. That's a thing.

Pinkie, where you at? He is here to make you happy and put the universe right again. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[It won't take too terribly long to find her either, considering she's expecting him. He'll eventually run into her just outside the engine room. Her mane's not deflated or anything, thank goodness, but her smile does look a bit tired. it does help that he's here too.]

Hey, Cheese.

[preformthisneigh]

[He offers her a smile as he walks over. It's not his usual vibrant, crazy smile; worry has strained it a little. Still, at least all his time dealing with other people's problems in various worlds has made him a lot better at comforting people than he is back home. Yay for that life lesson, he guesses.

As such, he'll head over and put a comforting foreleg around her shoulders, pulling her in for a gentle hug.]

Hey, Pinkie. Me and Boneless were worried about how you were holding up.

[He was worried. He is worried.]

[forcesensitive]

[Finn's working out in the cargo bay when the shuttle docks, and he sets aside the staff he'd been using to see who it is.]

Hey. Pinkie's friend, right? [What was his name, some kind of food.] Cheese?

[preformthisneigh]

[Finn gets a wide smile regardless of the pony's worry. If he knows Pinkie, then he is automatically good people. It's just how it works.]

Sure am. Cheese Sandwich, at your service.

Finn | OTA

[forcesensitive]

[In many ways it's a relief to be back in space. Weird as hell to be traveling outside of hyperspace, but comforting at the same time. he takes a shuttle over to the Iskaulit every morning for meditation practice (which he still isn't very good at), but for much of the rest of the time he can be found on the Caprine, studying various things from his communicator in the kitchen while munching on some more of his weird snack creations or practicing his combat forms in the cargo bay. Sometimes he'll switch it up and use the weights, but free movement is still better for his back. Atroma may have healed the wound he received, but it's still not wise to put too much stress on it.]

[resnipstance]

[True to her word, Ahsoka appears like clockwork at the same time every week.]

Hey you. Ready to learn some new moves?

[forcesensitive]

[Finn, for his part, looks a little surprised - but pleased. There's a strain around his eyes, but he's still glad to see Ahsoka show up.]

Hey, you're back to being big again! That was kinda weird.

[But sure enough, he's ready to run another round of practice. Probably.]

Action, backdated to 06/11

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Wow that sure was a jerky guy on the comms. Pinkie's JUST about to respond to him when she sees Finn running past her and knocking furiously on Poe's hatch. And for some strange reason, she gets an inkling that maybe those two events are related.

So when Finn decides to emerge, Pinkie's waiting a little bit outside, looking quite concerned.]

Hey, Finn. Are you okay?

[forcesensitive]

[Poe's managed to calm him down quite a bit, but Finn still looks surprised to see Pinkie there.]

You saw that, huh?

kitchen

[shoujoreject]

[It feels so unusual for him to seek actual companionship in any way, but whatever. Finn's in the kitchen, he likes the kitchen, it works out.]

What have you made from our rations this time?

[He sounds amused, tired though he is, peering around the dark-skinned man's arm to see.]

[forcesensitive]

Hey, Qing.

[Finn looks tired himself, almost on the brink of exhaustion, which probably explains his simple choice today.]

Meat-texture bacon strips with cheddar gel dip. Kind of salty, though.

Poe | OTA

[helluva_pilot]

[Poe is definitely happier being out in space. He's got himself parked at the pilot station most of the time, because that's basically his place of maximum happiness. Though sometimes he's only half paying attention to the controls and reading or working on a puzzle game he bought right before they left the moon.

He also regularly takes the shuttles out. Training runs, he says. Making sure they're ready to go. It's more that at least the shuttles are more maneuverable than the ship, and therefore more fun to fly. Best to keep his hand in. So if anyone wants to learn some tricks from a pro, he's happy to take them along.]
