Who: Wrath
Broadcast: video to everyone
Action: Iskaulit, interfaith center (feel free to treat the action as a mingle)
When: broadcast is current, action happens the next day

[Wrath, all uniformed up and serious. Anyone who's seen it before will recognize this as her "in command" face, though she mercifully looks less pissed-off than she ever has before in this mode. More... thoughtful.]

This is a message aimed at the ship captains and first mates in the fleet, but I don't think it's a bad idea for other people to hear it. I'm Wrath, now captain of the Windrose.

This place is... weird, because we're given officer titles without an actual command structure in place, and without a legal code, oath, or universal moral authority over us. As someone who was a military officer for... I guess over twenty years, I find that really difficult.

It's pretty obvious that the intention for these ranks to be hollow, and for that to be a source of stress and drama that will entertain the audience. But captain is only an empty title if you let it be. And while we don't have any kind of unified mission or directive, there's one part of being an officer that can and should always apply: we take care of the people under our command.

I know a lot of you have gotten these arbitrary ranks without wanting them or having civilian or military command experience. I think it'd be helpful if we talked. I've got experience I can share, and I know other people do as well. And maybe together, we can come up with some ideas that will make everyone's lives better.

Stefan's said he doesn't mind if we borrow the meeting space in the Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit. This isn't for religious reasons, but because it's a nice space with plenty of chairs and hot drinks and stuff. If you want to participate in this discussion, let's get together tomorrow afternoon while we're still drifting, get to know each other, and talk.

Wrath out.


[Wrath doesn't really have expectations as such for people showing up, but she's made sure to get together some refreshments (tea and coffee-esque beverages, juice, and water) and some vegetarian snacks.

The space is set up to be friendly and welcoming, for people to talk in groups large or small, rather than as some kind of lecture thing. She's serious about wanting to keep it informal for now.

To hopefully keep the atmosphere relaxed even if she's in a more focused, serious mindset, Jellybean and Officer Snuggles are wandering around and will be happy to have attention from anyone.]

[Nami doesn't say anything at first, but she sure stares a lot

...is that a dragon. Hoshit.]

[The surprise definitely never fails to amuse. Nor does the staring. At the same time she does worry if she's causing others to panic. While that normally didn't cross her mind as something she should worry about - because why should they panic about him being somewhere others were allowed to be? - today she felt as if maybe she was stepping on toes.]

I'm sorry... I wasn't sure if I should leave him aboard my ship. I promise he won't be any trouble.
namisan: (how about now?)

Oh-- no! It's fine. [She flushes a little, gives a small wave.] I'm not worried so much as surprised. I thought dragons were much...bigger.

He still young?

He is young - merely a hatchling. I doubt the Atroma - whatever their magic is - would allow him to grow larger. It would create a threat for them, I think.

[But they were generous enough to allow her to have him after the planet with the tree had given him to her.]
namisan: (who me?)

[personal profile] namisan 2016-12-20 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh well, then. If he isn't growing any larger she doesn't need to worry so much, even if she bridles at the idea the Atroma won't allow it. She edges up to take a closer look.]

What's his name?
moonofmylife: (26)

[personal profile] moonofmylife 2016-12-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
His name is Drogon.

[Dany carefully holds up her arm a bit and Drogon adjusts, lifting his head as their new acquaintance approaches.]

What ship do you reside over, if it's alright that I ask?
namisan: (sentiment)

[personal profile] namisan 2016-12-30 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
The Bloodsport. [Terrible name, not her choice. She smiles a little as she watches Drogon move, but she won't reach out to touch him. That's just rude.]

I'm Nami. Nice to meet you-- uh, both.
