Good morning!

[Sometime during what the ships' clocks claim as Friday morning, a peppy musical jingle rings out through the speakers all over the ship. It is soon followed by a female voice that should be familiar to most by now]

Good morning, dear passengers! I hope you are all doing well and listening closely, because our broadcast serves two very important functions today!

Firstly, this is the Twelfth Cycle's very first Drift Fleet Shuffle! ...For those of you who don't know, the Shuffle occurs every week, and it's where we all say hello to new faces, goodbye to old friends, and find out how the crews have changed!

This week, we are welcoming four new passengers into the flock, so please keep an eye out for any unfamiliar faces being beamed into your cargo holds, and give them a warm welcome. Other than that, it seems that no one has filed to rearrange their crews-- isn't that wonderful? I'm so glad you're all getting along!

There have been changes in rank however, so I would like to heartily congratulate the Twelfth Cycle's first round of captains on obtaining their illustrious new titles!

We applaud you, Captain Rogers, Captain Harvey, Captain Hange, Captain Stark, Captain Crowley, Captain Kouzuki, Captain Cress, Captain Ichimaru, Captain Redbreast, and Captain... [a bit of a pause] ...Stampede?

[and yes... that might be the sound of applause in the very distant background]

And now, with the Shuffle out of the way, we can move onto what we've all really been waiting for-- the fleet's arrival in our first system! Starting today, the fleet will be moving into range of some outer way-stations, so be sure to visit them to refuel and stretch your legs. The way-stations in this area aren't much to look at, but still good for curing cabin fever, socializing, and doing a little shopping. We will also be coming into range of our first planet, but that won't be until later on in the month... so, don't worry about it now! You'll be hearing more about it later.

For now, just relax and enjoy yourselves! Remember, the worlds are watching!

[Vash turns with a laugh and rubs at the back of his neck.] Haha! I guess so! I mean, every ship needs a captain, right? At least for now, unless someone else wants the job I'll be happy to stand down.
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-12 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I bet you'll be a great captain.

[he says with no evidence whatsoever.]
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-12 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha! You think so? I'll certainly do my best to be a good captain for you!
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-12 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You seem really nice! That's proabably a good quality in a captain, right?
goldenglasses: (Thumbs up ftw)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-13 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope so! I promise I'll be the best captain that I can be! I'll be sure to listen to everyone's opinion so everyone on the ship will be happy! My first order as captain is that we should start up a game night to get to know each other better!







...what do you think about that?
catamite: (show me the dead stars)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-13 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[he just stares at him for a minute.



...until an idea suddenly hits him and he's pretty sure he gets what he means]


--Oh! Like 'never have I ever?'
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (This is my happy face! ^_^)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-14 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Other games too! I had a pack of cards in my pocket when I woke up! We could play some games with those too!
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-14 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
We played 'never have I ever' at the last place I was at, and it was so much fun.

[the drinking helped.]

Even though I'm not very good at it.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Just smile and nod)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-17 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not very good at it either. I use to play it now and then with a couple friends back home. [His smile never falters as he speaks; yet his heart aches thinking about those nights with Wolfwood and the Insurance Girls.] I wasn't very good at it either, but you're right! It was a lot of fun! We may have to find something else to drink though. It might not be as fun with just water.

At least, I haven't found anything alcoholic on this ship yet.
catamite: (show me the dead stars)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-17 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's in a similar emotional boat, but he's trying to avoid even thinking about it]

Ugh, it'll be no fun with just water.

...Man, the last place I was, there was this... spirit who could just make booze and stuff appear out of the air.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Say what!?!?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-17 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
A beer spirit? Really!? Things like that exist? For beer?
catamite: (mouth like heroin)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-18 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! And it wasn't just booze, either! It was... great.

[he huffs a big sigh]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Hey!!! Me likey!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-18 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! If they're a spirit, do you think they'd bring us some if we pray or something?
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, like with shrines or something?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (brb - loling)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I'd be happy to try anything if it would bring booze to this ship.
catamite: (show me the dead stars)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-19 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well... she always seemed to show up when there was already some kind of party going on, so...

[not really thinking about the fact that it's hard to party without booze]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (The man with a plan)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-20 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! A party! Then we should try to throw one right away! What else?
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-20 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Um--!

[he trails off as he tries to think. ...and sheepishly fails.]


...I don't know.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (This is my happy face! ^_^)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-22 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well! A party couldn't hurt if they come or not! We could call it a get to know each other party! Whatt-da, say!?
catamite: (show me the dead stars)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-22 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
O-okay!

[not that he has any idea how this will actually work or anything]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (You're creepy. I go over here now.)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-24 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Great! Let me know when you get that set up! [And wandering off to avoid real work. Best captain EVER!]
catamite: (not a whore)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-24 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
--Waitwhat??

[oh my god who hired this guy]
goldenglasses: (This is my derp face! |D)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-25 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ignoring that to keep walking out the door and down the hall!]
catamite: (not a whore)

[personal profile] catamite 2014-10-25 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[th-thanks Vash, he'll just be here quietly panicking!

best captain. best.]
