Comments

Finn

[forcesensitive]

[Finn has come away from the hand-holding planet in an amazingly good mood. Despite the arrival of others from the First Order, the open friendliness of the planet's residents and the peculiar effect of the world itself have made him relaxed and comfortable. Add to that a fawn-colored bundle of fluff and a hold packed full of fresh food and who wouldn't be feeling great?

There's another new addition as well - an orange-and-white spherical astromech droid that alternately follows Finn and Poe around the ship, burbling questions in binary and generally being too cute for words. Come say hi to BB-8!]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Oh, hey, that sure is a new kind of bot! Different from the roombas too.]

Oh, hey! Awwww aren't you cute~ Where'd you come from?

[forcesensitive]

[The droid backs away shyly, but at Finn's encouraging gesture moves toward her and burbles a greeting.]

Hey, Pinkie! That's BB-8. Poe's astromech from back home. He showed up when we went to the tree.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, he's from your home too? Nice!

Hey BB-8, I'm Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you! So what IS an astromech?

[forcesensitive]

[BB-8 is very pleased to meet her too, and rolls around so he can investigate her a little more.]

Well, where I'm from, ships don't have central computers that run everythng. They're too vulnerable that way to outside control. Here, since the Marsiva controls them all anyway, it makes sense. But there, all a ship's systems are spread out in its droids. BB-8 here helps Poe run his X-Wing fighter.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Investigate away, hopefully his optics can take in this much PINK.]

Ooooooh that's really cool!

Action

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Well, the departure sure brought a lot of changes. Even if they were able to bid the planet a GREAT farewell with a pizza party, Dany had fallen asleep. And with no active communications officer, Pinkie had taken it upon herself to keep the communication systems ship shape as well as the engines and shields. And it's... well, if you pass by and she catches sight of you, she might choose you're perfect to vent to.]

Aaaargh, this is driving me CRAZY! The buttons are too teeny, I barely know WHICH buttons to press half the time, even the schematics are weird, there's all these wires and this big part that's not supposed to be there at all!

Action

[helluva_pilot]

Whoa there Pinkie. Deep breaths. Let's... um.

[Wait a second.]

...what do you mean wires and a part that aren't supposed to be there?

[spontaneouscombustion]

YEAH, I have NO idea which wire goes where and there's this big hoof-sized thingy in the middle of it all that isn't even in the schematics, and I can't even ask Dany what it does or if I'm supposed to take it off or not because she's asleep!

[helluva_pilot]

A big thing that isn't in the schematics.

[That's... worrying.]

Show me?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Just a moment, she needs to gratefully slump her forehead against his knee.]

Uuuugh, thanks Poe...

Poe

[helluva_pilot]

[Poe's good mood is definitely equal to Finn's and for the obvious reason that he's got BB-8 now! Come say hello to the little round droid.

Of course, the other reason probably has to do with Finn's apparently permanent move into his room. And now Poe's shoulder is entirely better, so nothing's going to bring him down.

Find him piloting the ship or proposing to take people for shuttle joy rides--if you think you can handle it. Or just talking with BB-8 in the galley, since they have a lot of catching up to do.]

[thetruehistorian]

[Baby dragon tearing through the ship? Aww, it's cute! Tiny robot? Not so much. Robin just stares at it, blocking the hallway as BB8 tries to roll past. There've been a rash of strange devices being found on the ships, after all.]

Just where do you think you're going?

[helluva_pilot]

[BB-8 reacts with a long string of beeping, obviously trying to answer the question and indicate it would like to proceed. Poe comes down the hallway while this long-winded explanation is still going.]

Oh, there you are.

[thetruehistorian]

Does this robot belong to you?

[She's not exactly being threatening, and she's more than willing to get out of the way if it can be spoken for- but she does want it spoken for.]

[helluva_pilot]

He's my astromech, yeah. [He hears your tone, lady.] There a problem?

Qing especially, but OTA

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Oh hey, Pinkie's back from her shopping trip, how'd it--]

QIIIIING!

[... Go. Feel free to help her on her man-hunt, or... ask her WHY she's man-hunting, but yeah, Qing's got some 'splainin' to do.]

[lightbends]

[Korra had made a trip to the Caprine as soon as she was able, which turned out to be a few days. Still!! She wanted to find a certain pink pony and talk to her. When she spots her, Korra moves towards her from the other end of the hall at a relatively fast speed, trying to catch her before she went down the next corridor or something.]

Hey-!! Pinkie!

[They had met maybe once or twice on the network and she thought the pony was nice, so it was worth a shot trying to talk to her...? At least trying to apologize for Sokka's Sokkaness.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Luckily time and a long talk with QIng had cooled her down at least a little bit. Still thinks Sokka's a class A sociopath, but much calmer.]

Korra! Hey, I think this is the first time we've seen each other face to face! What brings you here?!

[lightbends]

Yeah, it has huh...

[Hopefully she isn't sticking her foot in it by coming here?]

I actually wanted to talk. About Sokka. If that's alright?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Welp, all the cheer in Pinkie's face certainly falls flat.]

Oh. That guy. What about him?

Lord have mercy

[shoujoreject]

[Something's wrong. there's a disturbance in the forceQing has never heard that tone from Pinkie before, and it... actually sets his hair on edge. What happened?

How did this happen? He doesn't even know what it is but it happened. Urge to retreat: strong. But... he doesn't. He's the First Mate, and he... has to own up to whatever happened. Doesn't he?]

... Pinkie? What is it? [He sounds hesitant, confused. Worried, after their conversation some months ago. What did he do? How did he fuck it up? How fast is he gonna lose this support, too?]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Why didn't you tell me humans don't HAVE to eat meat?!

[Welp, at least she's straightforward. And loud, so very loud.]

[shoujoreject]

[That. That. Qing winces at the tone of her voice, but it's at least accompanying something less dire than he was afraid. Oh, he's still afraid, but this is something he did. This is something he can explain.]

... Pinkie... [He sighs. The honest truth is probably best, right now.] Originally? Because you were so upset, and I... didn't like seeing that. [He should have pulled her aside later, but... the idea of confrontation was... Well, now he can't avoid it. There's more he can say, but he's hesitating, watching her actions and reactions first and foremost.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

But then I got better! What, you thought it'd be easier to let the delicate little pony walk around thinking that?! I'm not dumb, Qing, did you think I'd NEVER figure it out?! That NOBODY'D tell the pony that humans can do just fine without meat, but most of them eat it anyway and they LIKE it?!
