Who: Anyone who wants to hang on the Iskaulit
Broadcast: nah
Action: Iskaulit mingle, darlings
When: All day every day (at least for the month)

[We're drifting, so it's a perfect time to make use of the many fine establishments on our common ship.]
axiomed: (Now I'm ready for you)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-02 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Really, Erik. It's fine. Besides, getting out is good for me as well. I can't spend too much time on the Heron.
exothermia: (Yeah we do)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-02 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't easy, at the moment. [He casts a look back into the bar.] Without a planet.
axiomed: (Feeling sorry is your favourite feeling)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-02 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure we'll dock soon enough.
exothermia: (Everywhere I turn)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-02 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[Erik's enthusiasm isn't that high. Being in space means that everyone on the ships are in closer quarters, though, and that's something he'd prefer to change.]
axiomed: (Overloaded by what you made yourself)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-02 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Charles nods in understanding. ]

Most certainly. They are creatures of routine, in a certain fashion.
exothermia: (But all will be okay my friend)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-02 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
They do follow patterns. So in all likelihood... it won't be long.
axiomed: (Anyone in there?)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-02 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles. ]

It sounds pithy, I know. But hang in there?
exothermia: (Without a dream you're lost)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I have been. I'm not worried about it.

[The confines of the ship don't rattle him as much as they used to. Either the issue has faded with time, or it has too much competition with his other worries. Erik will never favour confined spaces, but the intense frustration and panic it used to inspire have blunted.]
axiomed: (For hours and years)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're not worried, neither am I.
exothermia: (Shelter might change)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
If we're still lost in space in a month's time, that may change.
axiomed: (You mean nothing to me anymore)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Our captors are nothing if not predictable, though.
exothermia: (Big game today)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
So you've said.

Did you want to head back?
axiomed: (What you don't say)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
It bears repeating whenever we feel caught up by their whims.

[ He smiles. ] No, it's a nice enough day, so to speak. Maybe I'll go to the gardens. I doubt they'll be crowded.
exothermia: (Oh damn. He's dead.)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not at this hour, probably. [It's that late point in the afternoon where people drift back to their ships for dinner.]
axiomed: (It becomes you)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Then I shall take the opportunity to move about more. I've spent too much time on the ship anyway.
exothermia: (We are the fourth dimension)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[As someone who stays on the ship most of the time now, Erik knows there's merit in that. So he nods.]
axiomed: (Lay your head on my chest)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Why not join me?
exothermia: (Your forever is tonight)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He blinks, then smiles a bit.]

...sure.
axiomed: (By the end of the day)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Splendid.

[ He pats his armrest. ] I made sure this thing got a full charge as well.
exothermia: (Everywhere I go)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-03 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed you've been avoiding it. Hard to recharge without a sun, I expect.

[Erik starts to walk down the hallway, towards the garden area.]
axiomed: (Acquainted as we are)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-03 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's one of the reasons, yes. But I was also afraid of the overload, so I kept to the Heron.
exothermia: (Yeah we do)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-04 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. [No reason to pry further into that, knowing what he does now.] Now that everyone's confined to the ships, it's a bit harder to avoid.
axiomed: (I couldn't give you all)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-04 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Well, it can't be helped.
exothermia: (Heading into the black)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-10-04 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
But the meditation has helped?

[They reach the garden as Erik asks the question, and it is blessedly quiet.]
axiomed: (Pictures in your head at night)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-10-04 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods. ]

It's like being in a quiet meadow. It's not so quiet that it's unnatural but silent enough to be soothing.
