[New crew!  Old crew!   Something something dark side of the force.  (Sue me, your captain's tired.)]

Comments

This is your captain speaking with great irritation

[namisan]

[Simon's gone, and she's more glad than she is disappointed, if only because she knows how lost he really felt here. He can go home to his sister, and that's great. Never mind it feels like she's slowly losing all the sane people on the crew. Or all her friends.

Oh, well. She shelves her mixed feelings. More practically, she has to make an announcement or six. (Okay, probably just. IDK two.]

[Ship Broadcast]

So if you checked the rosters today you'll notice we're down a doctor, and that means we've also lost our medical bay. [Isn't it amazing and/or suspicious as hell that their ship can just change at the drop of a hat?] We've still got fully stocked first aid kits. If anyone has medical training, now's a good time to let me know. Otherwise I can deal with most reasonably uncomplicated things, up to setting broken bones.

Also, Allen had a good point the other day about the upswing in augments going haywire. It's no one's fault but the Atroma's if they decide to mess with your head, but at the same time it's better for everyone if we try and make sure there's as little fallout as possible. [Sascha was small potatoes next to Winter, and Winter is small potatoes compared to whatever's happening with the dragon down planetside. Seriously, what the hell.]

I wanna make sure everyone stays safe. I'm also a pirate with a limited grasp of technology and magic, so. Ideas at this point would be great.

[She can think of a few for herself, but that's not exactly sharing and caring, is it?]

Nami out.

--wait, Nami not out. Sascha. Come find me on the bridge.

[This is a polite non-invitation.]

[pneumo]

[ Oh no oh nooo.... What did he do now? Sascha's certain he hasn't--he's been hiding in his (Bigby's) room, trying to avoid everyone and anyone if he can. Partly because of Wanda, and partly because he's...well, scared to really see anyone after what happened.

Nami especially since he does remember quite vividly biting her.

It takes him a while to answer her summons, and when he finally does? He's kind of creeping along the wall, doing his best to avoid people on his way to the bridge. He even pokes his head around the corner of the doorway leading to the bridge, gulping. ]

Nn....Na....mi....? [ Please don't be here so he can go back to hiding ]

[namisan]

[Bite's long healed, dude. And now Nami's just irritated that apparently you're gonna hide forever, geez, that's no way to live. It's also kinda cowardly, in her books.]

Close enough. Come in, sit. Let's talk about horrible stuff.

[pneumo]

[ Welcome to Sascha's entire existence :Db ]

--I didn't do anything! I think? I promise-- [ Yup he's already fretting and babbling, that's how anxious he is about all of this. ]

[namisan]

[She lifts her gaze from the juice she's drinking, giving him a lazy look.] You mean besides the slew of biting you did not so long ago?

[Hi, I'm brutal today.]

[foxpas]

[Aria is a medieval girl who still isn't quite used to the comms, so instead she just hunts down Nami the old-fashioned way to talk to her.

She's trying very hard not to think about the 'pirate' part. She talked to Robin, so it's probably okay, right...?]

I have no skill at healing, but what other ideas are you looking for?

[namisan]

[Nami gives her a wry smile as she comes onto the bridge, but she shakes her head.]

Well, I'm not sure. I mean-- at home, we'd just set up watches, but people don't tend to go crazy at the flick of a switch back home. Did you see Allen's entry a while ago?

[She's gonna flick through her communicator in search of it anyway.]

[foxpas]

I do not believe so... Ah, who is "Allen"?

[someone isn't socializing enough]

[namisan]

He's a guy with white hair and a mark on his face, and he's been kicking around in places like this for... probably the longest of any of us, by the sounds of things. And he runs the local blood bank-- you'll probably see him talking about that at least once a month. It's a good idea to donate, if you can.

Here. Some of these are overkill, I think, but some of them are good ideas. What do you think?

[She's just gonna slide her comm over so it's open to this conversation. Aria's security, right? Best person to talk about this with. Okay never mind she hasn't thought about the fact that you're kind of... one of the few people less tech-oriented than she is.]

[imfine1111one]

[IS SUDDENLY THERE WITH PUDDING

Apollo blinks wide eyed, looking back and forth, trying to get his bearings. How is all this possible??? is what he wants to ask but, he knows he won't get a logical explanation. At least he isn't yelling OBJECTION?]

Er.

Hello??

[namisan]

[Man, she's used to this by now. Well, in a way. The suddenness of new crew appearing is enough to make her jump, but the confetti that rains down? That's just old.

Hey there, Apollo. There's a redhead with her feet up on one of the counters, flicking a piece of coloured paper out of her hair.]

Well, at least you come with pudding. Hi. You must be... [What the heck did the roster say--] Apollo Justice?

[What a name, dude.]

[imfine1111one]

[It's a perfectly fine name, not weirdly specific at all, gosh. He blows some confetti out of his face, frowning.]

Er, that's right. I guess I'm a new--recruit? Um, I don't know space lingo.

[namisan]

That's okay. Most people still don't unless they're lucky enough to be born where space is a common thing.

You're new crew! I'm Nami. Captain of the Bloodsport.

[geonomy]

[It takes a little while. Clay's been busying himself with getting relief supplies to the damaged planet, watching over his boyfriend in the clinic, and after all was said and done, making a log of what's happened and what they can do to prevent such things from happening. Sure, he's thought about his... fate, but thinking about it too much is depressing. And he keeps checking his comm, just waiting for word from Apollo. Not just when he got to the ship, but when Apollo was ready to see him. It takes a lot not to just ship-hop and call for Apollo until he finds him.

But finally, he gets the text from him. Bloodsport, huh? Nami's the captain, and... isn't that where that vampire he's heard nothing but terrible things about is? Looks like he'll have to come over often, or try to convince Apollo to come to his ship.

Those thoughts are firmly tossed aside when he lands in the Bloodsport's hanger, though. He's never been to this ship before, so everything looks relatively new to him. Once he's at the hanger door, he holds onto the doorway and leans out as he calls out:]

APOLLO JUSTICE ARE YOU HERE?!

[imfine1111one]

[He hesitated at first, but sure enough, he finally went through with notifying Clay. He wasn't sure how long it'd take him to get there--hours? Days? This lawyer isn't sure how space ship works. Sure he'd watched plenty of sci-fi, but this is real life! It might not be the same.

It's sometime while Apollo is exploring the ship when he hears Clay, and without even thinking, he responds. Loudly. Sorry crewmates. In a way it's like having two seals yelling and clapping at each other.]

I'M HERE AND I'M FINE! IS THAT YOU CLAY?!

[Obviously it is, and Apollo takes off down the hall. ]

[geonomy]

[I mean hopefully this won't happen but you never know, sorry crewmates!

The sound of Apollo's voice gets him excited all over again. He grins, then takes off towards where he hears the voice.]

YES IT IS AND I'M ALSO FINE!!

[foxpas]

[See, this is the problem with having fox ears: Your ears are huge. Which means they hear really, really well.

Which means Clay and Apollo's shouting match has her pressing her ears down against her head, and coming running.]

What's wrong?! Is anyone hurt?!

[no they're shouting that they're fine.]

[imfine1111one]

[REMEMBER THAT GRUMPY ASS LAWYER??? GUESS WHO'S YOUR CREWMATE. But for once he's not looking deadpan or skeptical, totally excited to be yelling his head off.]

No, we're fine!! Aside from when we bumped heads, but we're fine!

A: For Finn! ; B: Open!

[leftonjakku]

[A]

[She eagerly waits in the shuttle bay, pacing back and forth to calm her nerves. Finn has become so dear to her and she is thrilled to know he's awake. She trusts that even though he and Poe have gotten closer, their friendship won't change. Yet she didn't really have any true friends on Jakku.

What if - ?

No, she won't allow her mind to go there. They are both special to her - precious - and she can't wait to see them.]

Come on, come on...

[B]

[When she isn't in the shuttle bay, Rey can be found exploring the ship - particularly the cockpit. Hi, Bloodsport, say hi to your new pilot! There is a certain spark in her eyes as she sits before all the toggles, nobs and switches.

What can this ship do? And, perhaps, more importantly... What can she enhance?

After all, Rey isn't just a pilot. She could have easily been a mechanic too.]

[namisan]

[Nami comes to find their newest crew member once her shift at the bar is finished, and is faintly surprised to find Rey in the cockpit going through the consoles as if she knows what she's doing.]

Let me guess. You're one of the lucky few that knew all about space travel before arriving here?

/late and bringing flowers

[leftonjakku]

[She does - mostly - know what she's doing. What she doesn't know, she is teaching herself, bit by bit. That's safe, right?]

I've flown in space before. Do you know of the Millennium Falcon?

Hooray!

[namisan]

[Well, you've actually got legit space experience, that's more than most can say. Safe, psh.

That does ring a vague bell, actually. Some guy who couldn't stop bragging about it--]

Kind of. Isn't that Han's ship?

A!

[forcesensitive]

[True to his word, as soon as Rey lets him know she's on a ship, Finn claims one of the shuttles and zips over to the Bloodsport. It's got a spiffy red-and-brown paintjob that matches his jacket, so it should be pretty obvious. As soon as it docks, he hurtles out and rushes over to her.]

Rey! It's really you. You're here.

[And unless she makes some kind of objection, he's going in for a hug. Hug later, Han had advised back on Starkiller base. Well, it's "later" now, and he's been wanting this for a long time.]

<333

[leftonjakku]

[She barely notices the colors of the shuttle. Finn is... He really is... She doesn't hold back as she runs to meet him halfway, her arms ready to wrap him up.]

I missed you! I knew I would see you again, but I didn't know how long it would be!

[Later is definitely now. Her voice shakes and her cheeks are wet with tears.]

I was so afraid Kylo Ren killed you.

[forcesensitive]

[Good, because he's not letting go. It's been a long few months without her here--he's enjoyed his time, more than anything, but not a day had gone by when he didn't think of Rey. How she was doing. Where she was. Hoping to see her again, and eventually accepting that he wouldn't until he returned home, and even then it might be a while. But he always believed he would see her again. Always.]

Take more than him to keep me away from you. I'm not going anywhere, Rey. I promise.
