Who: Erik and you
Broadcast: Text, fleetwide
Action: the Heron
When: July 23rd

text.

If anyone - for whatever reason - wants some novelty fridge magnets, there is a sponsor crate of them on the Heron. You can take as many as you want, though there isn't that much variety.

I will note at the outset that no, there are no alphabet pieces.


[Along with this rather brief message is attached a photo of the crate's contents. Half the magnets seem to be little cartoon planets. The other half are... well... magnets.]

action.

[Anyone inclined to visit the Heron to take up this exciting offer - or just to visit - will find Erik leaning against the crate in the cargo hold. He has a number of the magnets suspended in the air above one hand, and every few minutes he flicks his fingers, sending one flying into the hull wall.

The crate itself is emblazoned with the message "To the most ATTRACTIVE guy on the Fleet! - Magnecessities". Maybe that's part of why he looks faintly irritated.

Flick goes another magnet.]
athru: (so dance alone)

[ Of course Raven comes to visit - of course she comes to nab a handful of magnets for herself and Hank. Why wouldn't she? She's doing her best to be stern and serious about it, but as soon as she reads the message she cracks a little, lips twitching before she glances over at Erik. ]

At least they think you're nice to look at?
athru: (apple for the price of a snake)

That is definitely the worst part. [ Raven shakes her head, shoving a load of magnets into her pocket before she walks over, tilting her head up to watch him. Then she's very carefully poking his cheek. ] There's more, though, isn't there? It's not just the nice present that's making you mad.
athru: (strike a match)

[ Raven had read the note, had found it funny at first, but she gets it. There's a message there, a meaning, and it's to do with something that Erik doesn't want shared - which is pretty much everything. It makes sense, and her hand drops, her expression softening a little. ]

I wish there was something I could do. To make this easier for all of us.
athru: (i now can see ahead)

[ Raven huffs a noise, arms crossing. ]

I know that. Being prepared doesn't mean letting ourselves suffer, though.
athru: (and now you're gone)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-27 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should come to the gym with me. It'd be fun. Sparring with Hank is nice, but he can smell me and I'm running out of ways to avoid it.

[ Other than transforming into him, which is awkward enough. ]
athru: (release the doves)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-28 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It was a very long game of hide and seek, mostly because Hank totally cheated, but she's not going to argue her point right now.

Instead - ]


Tomorrow sounds good. You should prepare yourself for me.
athru: (i saw a shooting star)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-30 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's going to be interesting to see how they've changed - and fighting against Hank with hide and seek taps isn't the same as actually sparring with someone like Erik. She's excited. ]

Good. Hopefully we won't accidentally destroy the ship.
athru: (when i hear them call)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-02 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ She waves her hand, careless. ]

They'll just make more, or get them from somewhere. Let the Atroma pay for something for a change.
athru: (wait for me to come home)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-02 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
... Maybe we won't break them, then.

[ She huffs, frowning. ]

Unless we can use acorns to get more.
athru: (into the night with me)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-05 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I could definitely cut down a tree.

[ Huff. :T ]

I've been doing whatever needs to be done. I worked at the blacksmith for a little while.
athru: (by the waterside and knew)

It's how I made Charles' birthday present. The people here helped me do it.

[ Lifting a shoulder, she moves awkwardly. ]

I was just making stupid little things until they stepped in, but at least I was trying. Can you do it without the smithy?
athru: (if you take her to bed)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-07 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It was fun. [ As far as any kind of hard labour can be fun, but it was good to actually use her strength again. ] This was before here, wasn't it?
athru: (into the night with me)

[personal profile] athru 2016-08-08 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Charles has talked to me about it. It's okay.

[ Raven hesitates, but - ]

The whole other world thing is still weird, but I'm getting it.
