raven "mystique" darkholme

[athru]

[ What's probably most obvious to the crew of the Blameless is how ridiculously abandoned the first mate's room is; it's barren and almost empty and, for all intents and purposes, a guest room. The second thing that's obvious is the fact that the first mate is in the captain's room, and she lives there, quite happily - which is where she can be found when she's not wandering around (blue more than anything else, since she thinks she can trust her ship to be okay with it).

She's either lounging around or she's decorating, putting acorns (yes, those acorns) up, adjusting a photo frame or folding things to put them away, taking care of the room and making it theirs at the same time.

Otherwise, she's up and about - hanging in Hank's lab, wandering around the corridors, lounging in the cargo hold, anything and everything. Sometimes she gets the itch to move and so she does, but most of the time she's content to sit around and focus on her device, looking at things and generally trying to pretend she's not dwelling on things. ]

[axiomed]

[ He hadn't expected to catch her wandering. He softens a little. Raven seems to be still uncomfortable with the Fleet, but such things take time. ]

Lost?

[athru]

[ She blinks when she hears Charles, turning a little before she steps up to his side. It's obvious that she brightens when she sees him, leaning over to press a kiss to his forehead without any hesitation. ]

I don't get lost, Charles. I'm First Mate.

[axiomed]

And I'm sure you take your duties very responsibly.

[ He reaches out to thread their fingers together. ] Do you have a moment> I need your help with something.

CISCO RAMON 🍟

( A; nerd squad vs weird devices | CLOSED TO HANK & WINN )

[ ok so implanting devices on board? so not cool.

potential space spying opera? so dope though. Cisco has various guesses who could have implanted the thing on board, starting from weird aliens to the very suspicious lady with the missing tooth who worked the fish stall in the marketplace in the previous Vacation Resort Planet.

So he's in his lab, circling the thing, already getting his equipment ready. he's waiting for Hank and Winn currently but it doesn't mean a dramatic monologue at the little device is out of the question. he can be heard muttering:

You just wait, buddy. We're gonna crack you open and then, it's open season on your secrets. ]

( B; sock sliding! )

[ who knows what you were doing, maybe you were heading somewhere, maybe you were going to the kitchen to get a snack, maybe you're in the middle of a very important job but either way, it'll all stop for a moment as you might notice a figure sliding towards you in the hall.

you might hear a whoa, obstacle - before the crash comes.

sorry about that. ]

( c; wild card | visitors )

[ for anyone who wants their own thing and/or to come visit him :> ]

[athru]

[ Honestly, Raven would laugh if she wasn't a little bit concerned, and she shifts and moves forward, turning her head around a corner and tilting her head up to stare, fighting the urge to laugh.

Then she's walking over, bending to offer Cisco a hand. ]

That was impressive.

[benames]

Talk about little floating speedsters running round my head -

[ joking. he's only really seeing two of Barrys zooming around happily around his head. Barry would have appreciated the finery which is sock sliding down a space ship's corridor ]

Heya Raven - looking good.

[ he's always glad to see her rather than the blonde girl, honestly. ]

Wanna join my one-man-team of sock sliding? we can make it a duo.

[athru]

You should go and check in with the lab if they don't go away.

[ But she's shaking her head, settling down at his side even as she huffs a little noise - honestly, he's ridiculous, but she has a little touch of fondness for him in her heart. ]

Thanks. [ Eyebrows raised, and then - ] I don't think I'd be half as good as you.

[it's really not cool, and while Hank can't really be too surprised, the discovery of the device is definitely scratching at his paranoia. Since it's discovery he's been pacing all over the ship, back and forth from the lab, while they wait for Winn to show up. It's a nervous energy, and pacing is a lot better than it being all over his face.

He's very, very thankful that all three of them are getting together to handle this. Out of everyone on the fleet, he feels as if they're the ones who'll figure out the most about it, at least.

(He might be a lil bias)]

—what are you mumbling about?

[winn]

[ secret devices hidden on all of the ships? winn has no doubt who's behind this. this - it might be just the breakthrough he's been looking for - maybe these devices are the key to figuring out how exactly they're being watched and where the hidden cameras are actually hidden - but he doubts it. the timing is too convenient. all along, the atroma's timing has been suspiciously perfect. he needed to restore kara's powers, their next stop is to a toxic moon full of the chemicals he required to get that done. he's gotten close to figuring something out - whoops here are some conveniently discovered hacking devices to keep him busy. why is he falling for it, then? because no matter how perfectly they planned it out, there's going to be some hint in these devices, he's convinced of it. maybe of their purpose if not their methods. and he can't completely rule out the possibility that it was just a coincidence and they really did screw up this badly, unlikely as it may be.

so winn runs all the way from his shuttle, too anxious to get to work that finally utilizes his true expertise to even be afraid of the trip - and lets himself right in, out of breath. ]

Let's get this party started.

[benames]

[ perhaps no one is surprised that Cisco is the least one of the trio to feel paranoia or anxiety and if he does, he channels them all towards excitement. after all, this is a fine piece of technology and getting to study alien tech is always something that gets him to squee. ]

-- so, who is going to do the briefing on what we know? 'cause I mean, this is incredible, obviously a plot twist.

[ b ]

[precedented]

[ You have probably crashed into Leto - which feels like crashing into a solid brick wall.

He blinks, unperturbed. ]

Cisco.

[benames]

--- Girder 2.0

[ he rubs his head. dude, what the hell?? he'd pretty sure he's sporting a concussion of a sort. he's beginning to think that aside of him and Winn, everyone in the fleet is a meta of some sort. He's going to have to think of a better name for Leto than Girder 2.0 when he regains clear thought. ]

let me guess - super strength is definitely on your resume?

[beathach]

a. the monthly nerding;

[as per usual, when there's not much choice but to stay on the ship, Hank can be found in the lab. It's very likely you'll find him hunched over a microscope or a notebook, scribbling away in his usual shorthand. Of course, you may find him scribbling away in a different notebook, translating all of that into actual words.

Either way, the man likes to keep busy, and this is the best place to find him]


b. hangin' around;

[of course, he can't stay in the lab all day (despite his best efforts), so when he's either at his limit with notes or he's simply waiting for whatever he's working on to finish up, you can find your captain hanging around and reading.

Quite literally.

That's right, he's found somewhere high enough for him to hang from, using his feet, and has gotten into the habit of doing that while he's reading whatever books he's picked up from the library. While he's blue, while he's not blue, it doesn't matter. Just be careful not to startle him]


c. wildcard;

[for visitors, for something else, anything your heart desires! Hank can be found all over the Blameless during the month, so have at ♥ Also feel free to request him as Beast, if you want the blue guy!]

b

[athru]

[ Raven tends to have a radar when it comes to Hank McCoy; she knows where he is and can find him quickly enough. She doesn't expect to find him literally hanging around, though, and she hovers a little, watching for a long, drawn out moment. She can't hide the fact that she's utterly enchanted, and she smiles as she leans against a wall, just... Watching him for a moment.

She's so completely taken by him, it's a little bit ridiculous. ]

Don't fall.

[beathach]

[if he wasn't so engrossed with what he was reading, he might have realized she was there. Instead, she's witness to him startling, dropping the book and almost falling on his head - but he's at least quick enough to avoid that, dropping a hand down so he can land on his feet.

And then he's standing up straight and whirling around like he's been caught doing something he shouldn't be]

—er. Hi.

[smooth]

a.

[ownassets]

( Talking to Hank is a nice thing. He's one of the few, or perhaps only person from her world where the conversations aren't that weird - someone that you can talk to without having to think about what's happened, or what will happen in Moira's case. Charles has a lot of guilt, Erik doesn't talk to her, and Moira doesn't quite know about Raven - she's someone she doesn't know well. But Hank- he's focused a lot more on here, and it's nice to know that he has a plan. Or is trying to make one )

Are you busy?

( She'll come back later if so! )

[beathach]

[in a way, he knows where he stands with Moira. He isn't completely oblivious to things, and he's pretty sure Moira and Erik aren't chatting it up as if they were old friends, and well . . . he knows Charles is complicated. He's glad that he's a "safe" option, more or less and lacking a better word. That and he likes talking to Moira. He didn't get the chance to get to know her better back home as well as Charles did.

He glances up when she enters his lab and greets her with a smile, immediately shaking his head and closing the notebook he was writing away in]

Not at all. Hi, Moira.

b.

[intelligently]

( Ask Lydia what the weirdest thing she's seen is and this wouldn't even fall into the top ten. In fact she's probably seen Scott do something similar in the past, or maybe he could if he hadn't. It's definitely impressive seeing him do it in his usual skinny self, and for a few moments she's just stood there watching him before- )

What are you reading?

[beathach]

[it must be something else, to watch someone hanging upside down startle and nearly drop the book in his hand. He doesn't fall this time, at least, and he sort of stares at her for a moment before he breathes out a sigh of relief. At least it was someone he knew, and not some random person wandering on the ship.

Still, he has the expression of someone caught with their hand in the metaphorical cookie jar]

Uh - [he turns the book over] - theoretical physics. Hi.

[B]

[c0nsequences]

[Finally, a sight that impresses the Stalker: despite the acrobatics Hank displayed down on the planet, the Stalker is still entirely unaccustomed to seeing his captain hanging by his feet. He's on his way to the kitchen now, hunger having driven him from the lab. He stops and stares at Hank from the doorway. Who needs manners, anyway?]

[beathach]

[MANNERS ARE IMPORTANT, STALKER. A full minute or so passes before Hank realizes there's someone nearby, and he glances at the doorway and freezes for a moment. At least he doesn't startle this time]

Hi - did you need something?

[it's only a little easier to be casual about this with the crew, since most of them were accustomed to his mutation anyway]

[c0nsequences]

[The Stalker has taken to sulking in the lab. First the fight with the Tenno went poorly; now someone has been spying on him through his own communications equipment. Well, him and the crew, but one of those is far more upsetting than the other.

So, as much as he pretends that he's reviewing the compromised logs in order to help the crew, he's really trying to pinpoint what this unknown enemy knows. Don't trust him.]

How could this have happened?

[precedented]

[ Leto saunters in. ]

There is no "how".

[c0nsequences]

There is always "how."

[This is no time to be cryptic. He wants answers and he wants them now.]
