Who: Fingon
Broadcast: Fleetwide, accidental.
Action: SS Paisley
When: Morning on August 8th.
Fingon was still tired and moved somewhat slower, with more care, than his usual enthusiasm. He'd found a few scars for the trouble of dying, but otherwise had nothing to complain about. A day was all he was given to rest before he found himself on a new ship and a cake pushed into his hands in celebration.
Congratulations, you're a cook!
The assignment cheered the Elf. No leadership duties. He wouldn't be the one people looked to for orders here, outside the kitchen if at all. All he had to worry about was feeding everyone else on the ship. The first thing he'd done after being shown to his new room was to change out of his armor and into ship's clothing, though he kept the blue cloak and had it wrapped around him. He gave himself one more day to rest, holing himself up in his room.
Then it was off to acquaint himself with the kitchen! He hoped to bake for his crewmates. Barring that, he would do his absolute best to improve the taste of what food was offered. When he found his way to the kitchen, however, he stopped still, eyes growing wide in dismay.
"This cannot be all there is!"
Whether it was or not, Fingon took a deep breath before diving in, familiarizing himself with what the ship offered. It was slow going, and he burned himself more than once, but he stubbornly kept at it until he had a stew going on the stove and a tray of chocolate cookies baking in the oven.

"Sounds perfect," he said, glancing over at the cookies. "Your augment should help with the whole cooking part. I usually try to freeze meat whenever we're planet-side too. I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of the protein pastes."
no subject
It was really just the actual cooking that he had to work on, and learning to use all the strange machines in the kitchen. And what he had to work with. "The augment does help, yes!" Paste? "The paste is supposed to be edible?" Oops...
no subject
Stefan couldn't help his laughter, though he tried valiantly to hide it behind his hand. Better that than a disaster of a kitchen, and well? Considering the track record of the Paisley, it wouldn't be a stretch. Half the modern appliances weren't around anyway.
His smile only grew wider at the mention of paste. "Yep. Those dispensers were all we had to eat when I first came on board, and let me tell you - it was the worst."
no subject
He wrinkled his nose. "You will not have to eat that while I am here, or near if I transfer to another ship."
no subject
That's always exciting. Stefan wouldn't blame him, either, if the transfer took place. He knows he'd rather be with people from home (if and when that opportunity ever presented itself).
no subject
A grandfather who should be just as dead as Fingon himself. And two of his closest friends, who had always been there for him. He'd gone through literal hell for them.
no subject
“No kidding.” There's a moment of hesitation on his end. “Have you looked at the transfer paperwork? I could help you with that.”
no subject
He stared at Stefan then the smile softened gratefully. "Would you mind?"
no subject
He's almost envious. Almost, because he knows that the only person the multiverse would bring is his older brother, and that would bring far more complicated emotions. Maybe it's for the best that he's alone.
no subject
"I hope your family does come. Be they by blood or choice."
no subject
He ducks his head out of embarrassment. "Thanks, but... at this point, I can't say I'd wish this place on them."
no subject
"I would not be breathing now if not for this place. Not until I am Reborn. So I have much to be thankful for this place, even if it might not be ideal."
no subject
Stefan blinks back surprise, before he finally manages to say, "Reborn? What do you mean by that?"
no subject
"My people are Immortal, though we may be slain. In time our...spirits are expected to heal, and when that happens we are Reborn."
no subject
"Like a reincarnation?"
no subject
"A bit. We are supposed to remember our past lives and be returned much as we were before death. I have not yet met any Reborn."
no subject
He knows he's prying, but he has his reasons, and the almost-desperate tone in his voice indicates it.
no subject
no subject
"Got it." He pauses, before adding with complete sincerity, "Thank you. I know it's a weird question, but this whole uh, Reborn thing. It was important for my work back home."
no subject
no subject
Is there anything you want to ask me?"
no subject
The Elf turned briefly to give the stew pot a good stir. Hopefully the bottom wouldn't burn too much. "Anything you would be willing to tell me about your homeworld. I do not know many Men, and less of their culture even on Arda."
no subject
The name isn't unfamiliar on his tongue - in fact, Stefan might be more familiar with it than he wishes to let on.
"I feel like I could talk to you for hours about Earth. It's hard to condense a whole planet into a few sentences, especially one with as many cultures and countries as mine..." He hums for a second. "But I was born and raised in a place called Locke City. It was a large city right on the coast, with skyscrapers and tons of people, and it was a super bustling place. Always something to see or do."
