[ For the first day or two of their journey, Allen seemed to be in good spirits. But by the time they reach the ship, he seems...well, to the casual observer he seems more or less the same. But he also seems more nervous, particularly at the forest, as his eyes keep glancing nervously at the forest when doesn't think people are looking. He's wringing his hands more, and sticking closer to people than he normally bothers with- as if he's worried about being left alone. Most people if they ask, he'll smile and insist he's fine.

Even with the odd behavior from him, he'll be helping search the ship. If you need to get up to the higher areas of hull, he's got the power to do so (if you aren't scared of bungee jumping anyway). If he's not exploring the ship, you might find him surveying all the fruits that seem to be growing- especially the pumpkins. ]

Cheaters who cheat | Closed to Pietro (future dated to him off hiatus)
[Not wanting to leave a worried Winn back on the ships for who knows how long to hike to the SOS signal, Kitty decided to work smarter, not harder. So, she gave Pietro a call with a plan that would combine their powers for a fast trip.]

Research
[Taking a fast route to the wreckage and having no magical background Kitty isn't experiencing any particular odd effects of the planet. She doesn't plan to spend long exploring, but Winn did send her with a camera to get some info. So she's walking around snapping pictures and occasionally standing in midair to get better shots.

She's also definitely taking a cutting from those pumpkins. She might also take a whole pumpkin or two if she can find a couple that wouldn't be too heavy for Pietro to carry on the ride back considering he's got to carry her too.]

[Sokka, of course, has noticed nothing unusual about the planet at all. There are times he's glad he was born without a quasi-mystical connection to anything and this is absolutely one of those times. He has been noticing Allen, however- with growing concern.

Once they are at the ship, and he can grab a moment alone with him, Sokka takes the chance. He sidles up as Allen's surveying those fruit, clearing his throat. ]

Okay. So. Honesty time. How're you really holding up? And don't tell me you're fine, because I've lived with you long enough to know what your 'fine' looks like and this isn't it.

[save_the_souls]

Sokka, I'm f-

[He stops himself short as Sokka adds that last part and lets out an exhale through his nose. Right, of course he wouldn't fool Sokka.]

It's-

Look, I don't want to make a big deal of it. [He glances over his shoulder to make sure no one else is eavesdropping] It's just...this planet feels like the castle.

[beardstrokes]

[ Once he heard the ship was accessible, Obi-Wan immediately made his way down there. He had hoped that the ship would make some of the mysteries of the planet clearer to him. The Force was not giving him clear answers and it unsettled him.

Even though he's used to that happening.

Every few minutes, Obi-Wan stops to examine the plants or any strange machinery before moving on. Though, for Anakin, he does gather any parts that might seem useful. ]

[Under normal circumstances, Stefan would've reached the wreckage in record time. Maybe not speedster time, but he's quick. Since he's traveling with a group, he takes his sweet time, making sure that everyone's well-fed (and his thermos magically never runs out of tea, no matter how much he drinks).

But he seems sleepier than normal - at night, he's seen something that he can't quite explain, and he refuses to sleep when that thing is looming just over the trees. He stifles a yawn as he surveys the vegetables and those giant pumpkins.

He's over by the robot butlers too, half-wondering if he can pick them apart for Kirito and Anakin. Even then, he's yawning too. He doesn't need sleep, sure, but boy does it sounds good right now.]

[save_the_souls]

Tired?

[Allen approaches him, offering a small friendly smile at that stifled yawn. Yeah. He's been a bit off himself lately, but don't think he hasn't noticed Stefan being sleepy.]

The Vision | Open

[unbearablynaive]

[Once someone gets around to telling him about it, the Vision is very much intrigued by the idea of a derelict ship in the shape of the Marsiva and heads out to investigate. Being that he can fly, it doesn't take him quite so long to get there and back, so if anyone needs supplies fetched or anything along those lines he's happy to help. But as for himself, he's fascinated by the shell of the ship and anything that can be found in the way of parts, especially those robot butlers.]

[stefanged]

A little. [Stefan nods, his cheeks turning a slight red.] I don't need to sleep or anything, but after the first couple of nights, I don't know... I didn't feel right.

I probably shouldn't have volunteered for the whole night watch shift.

[Because he did, with absolutely no regrets at the time. Why sleep when everyone else needs it more?]

[passingthrough]

[Don't look now, Allen, but there is a hand stretching out toward you through the dilapidated hull of the ship. No body to be seen just yet. Probably just the thing for those nerves!]

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a concerned look] Even if you don't need sleep, you can still get exhausted without time to relax.

[At least, he's pretty sure how that works. Figuring out how sleep works is hard enough with humans, much less vampires.]

[passingthrough]

[She looks up from inspecting the pumpkins when she notices a new shadow from an unlikely angle.] You're awake. [It's good you have her for these updates.]

[save_the_souls]

[MY GOD.

Well when he sees that? It's definitely enough to cause him to yell and stumble back in surprise. ]

Shit! Um- Hand!!

[unbearablynaive]

[Now there's a face he's happy to see. He smiles and alights down on the nearest surface.]

Hello, Kitty. I do apologize for my extended absence.

[passingthrough]

[Hand is followed by a Kitty-shaped face as the rest of her emerges on the other side, biting her lip slightly. She might have thought that was funny with almost anyone else, but under the circumstances she's just kicking herself.]

Uh, hi, Allen. I was just checking the density of the stuff.

[passingthrough]

[He gets a smile and leans back on an excessively huge pumpkin.] Oh, you were present. Just not as good at conversation.

[save_the_souls]

[Before he can bring himself to activate his powers, Kitty face appears.]

- Ah, Kitty!

[That's right, phasing powers. He takes a deep breath, calming down]

Ha- you almost gave me a heart attack!

[passingthrough]

Would have been a long trip carrying you back if you had. [She runs her hand through her hair.] I didn't realize you were here or that anyone was standing there. [Not that she usually worries about it. She can be very challenging about people dealing with her power.]

[unbearablynaive]

There is that. [Hopefully Acting Captain Wrath didn't run into any trouble.]

I trust you've been well.

[stefanged]

I know. I'll rest on the way back, promise.

[He doesn't think anything will bite him. After all, on that hierarchy, vampire > everyone, and he's in good company.

There's a moment of hesitation before he just goes for it:] I don't know if anyone else noticed, but something's off about this place.

[passingthrough]

[Well, don't challenge Officer Snuggles, that's for sure. At least sandwich bags weren't mentioned.]

Can't complain. Glad to get some surface time. [She doesn't find the surface ideal, but when does she ever? Then again the hand-holding planet had really agreed with her.]

But you know if you do that to me again I'm drawing on your face next time.

[save_the_souls]

[He shakes his head] It's alright. I just got startled, that's all.

[He takes another breath before straightening himself up.]

How's the density?

[save_the_souls]

Good. I'll hold you to that.

[Because bros look after each other, bro.

And at that remark, he pauses. He certainly feels it, but that doesn't mean Stefan is sensing the same thing] Off how?

[unbearablynaive]

[They do still have a full supply in stock!]

Oh, dear. I hope my face isn't marker-soluble.

[But he's smiling, at least.]

I must say, this is a rather extreme feature to find on a planet. There was mention of some kind of shock wave as we entered the atmosphere - could you tell me how you experienced it?

[passingthrough]

By little old me? [She manages a soft smile she isn't fully feeling yet.]

Mmm, it's...interesting. I'm not really sure how to describe it. [But she will do her best to commit it to memory.]
