Comments

[namisan]

[Last month was spent in a nasty pile of overwork followed by deathly glitch illness followed by screw everything I'm relaxing-- so Nami hasn't been back on board in weeks. It's only when they're due to leave the system that she returns, though she brings a small pile of acorns with her and a couple of the local maps and a whole bunch of new clothes and souvenirs.

She can be found on the bridge or in the kitchen for the most part, when she's not working on the Iskaulit. She keeps saner hours now, at least. She's antsy and doesn't really want to be here, but the feeling will fade with time. It's what happens when she gets to spend a few weeks on the ocean.]

[foxpas]

[Once Nami's back on the ship, she might find a new arrival on the bridge with a book from the Iskaulit's library. She seems pretty engrossed, though she looks up when Nami enters.]

Hello, miss. Are you a new arrival as well?

[namisan]

[Nami grins a little wryly at the question.]

Not sure if that'd be better or worse. No, I've been here months now.

I'm Nami-- been on shore leave, more or less. Belated welcome to the Fleet...?

[foxpas]

I have been here but a couple of weeks, so worry not about being late.

[She's taking a moment to think though, because she saw that name before. Then she realizes, standing up to raise an arm over her chest in a salute.]

My name is Aria. It is an honor to meet you, captain.

[foxpas]

[A: Arrival (backdated to a couple weeks ago!)]

[The jingle that plays for new arrivals goes off, and the newest member of the Bloodsport appears, looking rather alarmed. Her tail is puffed up shock, and she's looking around like she's prepared to fight someone. She'll fight you all, dammit.]

What is this?!

[B: Armory]

[Once she's in and settled, your security officer can be found in the armory, looking at the guns with an expression of distaste. Still, she takes one, and begins to dismantle it like she's going to clean and reassemble it... Except she doesn't actually do that, just leaving it disassembled and leaving again. Guns suck, etc.]

[C: Other]

[While they're in space, her sense of direction seems to be all sorts of messed up, so she's just wandering the ship and can end up poking into any and all rooms while she's lost. Maybe the room is where you are? Maybe the room is yours?]

C;; Engine room okay?

[silvercast]

[ The hum of the ship's engine is just a bit louder at the back of the cargo bay. Pietro has been familiarizing himself with the engine and its spare parts, so when the occasion calls for it, he can fix it. It's pleasantly warm, and there is a little glowing fish in a bowl sitting on a corner shelf that sheds part of the room in soft light.

He pokes his head out from under the small work table, spotting Aria. ]

Getting accustomed to the ship?

absolutely!

[foxpas]

[she waves in greeting, approaching him.]

To be honest, not truly... It is so very different from my home, it is difficult to relax. There was naught like this in the entire world.

[silvercast]

It takes a while, sometimes. To be used to new places- especially if it is strange.

[ He stands up, leaning against the table and nodding toward the room. ]

Would you like to come in? Sometimes it is easier to relax when you understand. [ Sure, he may not know a whole lot about it, but if he can show Aria, it might calm her. ]

Hark! A visitor!

[thetruehistorian]

[It won't be long before there's a docking request from a shuttle registered to the Caprine. And a few minutes after that, Robin slips out of the shuttle, taking a moment to orient herself to this new ship. Members of the Bloodsport who haven't met Robin might find themselves wondering why the walls suddenly have eyes that blink, or where that lovely floral scent is coming from. Those who have met Robin- well. It's pretty unmistakable that she's here.

She'll be looking for Nami, of course, and probably Sam, but she can be found in any common rooms where it wouldn't be impolite for a visitor to be hanging around.

Hello, Bloodsport!]

[namisan]

[She won't find Sam on this ship-- she'd extended the offer once, a long time ago when he first got here, but he's comfy over on the Red Fish so that was that. But Nami's sure here, mouth ticking up in general amusement at the eyes that suddenly blink open at her as she reaches for the fridge.]

I'm in the kitchen. [Unnecessary, but you know. It's polite.]

[thetruehistorian]

[An arm passes Nami whatever she was going to be grabbing, because Robin is that good, okay, and then gives a thumbs up before disappearing.

Eventually Robin walks in herself.]

I'm surprised at how different the ships are, even with the same framework.

[namisan]

Right? [She was going for the mango(ish) juice she'd picked up on planet; by the time Robin walks in, Nami's poured two glasses.] I'm not sure what's up with that, but I guess it just comes down to variety.

Your transfer still hasn't gone through, I notice. [Atroma are jerks. What a surprise.]

[foxpas]

[Well, there's a fox-girl who is currently just staring at one of the eyes on the wall.

She's trying to talk to it, even.]

If you have eyes, are you able to hear us as well, ship? I feel I understand less and less the longer I am here...

[She doesn't seem to have noticed Robin in the room quite yet, though.]

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin is seated somewhere relatively comfortable, one leg crossed over her knee, and reading a book. She doesn't seem to change her position, but the eye in the wall blinks a few times.]

It isn't the ship, but I can hear you just fine. You're a rather observant girl- I usually try to hide those so as to be unobtrusive.

[She flips a page in her book, continuing to pore over it.]

[foxpas]

[She looks between Robin and the eye a few times, evidently very confused.]

Thank you for your kind words, miss, but... This eye is yours?

[pneumo]

[ Sascha has most certainly not met Robin and honestly has no idea why the hills walls have eyes, but when e wakes up for the evening and emerges from Bigby's room, he's definitely unnerved by it all. What on earth )8 ]

....... [ Yeah no this is creepy as all heck. They'd better not follow him when he moves. ]

[thetruehistorian]

[Oh, they follow. And blink curiously. Because eyeballs can totally emote without the rest of the face, right?

And then one of them vanishes. It drops a flower petal, like a soft pink tear, onto the ground. Then that disappears, too.]

[pneumo]

[ Alright, that's a little freaky. Sascha actually jumps a bit when that happens, and then he just winds up staring because he's not really sure he just saw what he saw and there are definitely goosebumps creeping up his spine now. ]

...........?!

Wanda; Visiting post Pietro's arrival

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Since Pietro's arrival aboard the Bloodsport, Wanda has become a much more frequent visitor to the ship. However, it is rare to catch her aboard and not around her brother at the same time. Still, there are a few occasions when she might be spotted alone -- running to the kitchen to snag a drink or a small snack, or on her way to meet Pietro in some part of the ship. While she might appear to be in a hurry, that doesn't mean she won't necessarily stop for some polite conversation. Feel free to chat her up if you spot her.]

[pneumo]

[ What about the totally-normal scenario of another guy walking his way out of dear brother's room, hair all rumpled from snuggling up next to him for some Z's? So common place right? Don't you worry about a thing Miss Wanda :D

Heck the moment he sees her coming from the opposite direction he flashes a bright smile at this new(???) person. ]

--Hi!

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda stops in her tracks. She looks from the man in front of her, to the door he just exited through, and then back to him. Needless to say, she is a little confused. But then, a horrible thought enters her head, and a spike of fear flashes through her.]

This is Pietro's room, yes?

[pneumo]

...? Yup! Are you looking for him? He's pretty worn out. [ because it's like, sleeping time or something and not because he did anything weird there!! Promise. ]

[namisan]

Wanda!

[Vaguely unexpected face, but definitely not unwelcome. Nami smiles as she catches her in the hallway.] How's it going?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda smiles warmly at her friend and gives her a small wave in greeting.]

Hello, Nami.

I came by to see Pietro. How has he been? Not giving you any trouble I hope?

[If there's one thing Wanda would be sure to get on his case about, it'd be Pietro acting rude to her friends.]

[namisan]

So far so good. Though we haven't had a lot of chance to talk other than bonding over our disaste of vending machines. [Grin.] He's from home, I take it?

[Well, it's a polite way of finding out how he's related. They've both got the same last name, but that could mean one of two different things.]
