Who: The Fleet!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: Hotel Corona or Planet Ikke
When: December 7th onward



[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

[winn]

Tons of cool points.

[ he nods and scratches over pup-thing's tail, to its unmitigated delight. ]

[passingthrough]

Are these cool points redeemable for plastic bracelets, bouncy balls, and stuffed animals? Or do they just make me seem even cooler?

[winn]

I'm sorry, outlaws respect nothing.

[passingthrough]

Except their super awesome girlfriends? [Is she saying girlfriend a lot? Maybe she just wants Pax to know.]

[winn]

Mmhm, gotta respect the super awesome.

[ maybe pax is trying to send his own message, because he burrows between his legs. ] Hey you what did we say about boundaries? [ picking him up in his arms and shaking his head at him, as the excitable pet just happily licks at his nose. ] We are both gonna need a shower after this.

[passingthrough]

Why, Winn Schott, are you trying to get me naked before you even buy me dinner?

[winn]

Okay - 1. we both know I'm not the one with my head in the gutter in this relationship. 2. can you blame me?

[passingthrough]

Who me? [It's definitely her. She smiles with amusement and fondness at him. It's a multi-part smile.] What kind of room should we get for tonight?

[winn]

As long as it has a real bed and a shower, I'm in.

[ oh - time to give pax back to his owner, he engages in 30 seconds of polite chatter before wiping his hands, nodding at his supervisor and turning back to kitty. ]

Alright, I'm all yours for the day.

[passingthrough]

I like the sound of that. [She steps in closer and threads their fingers together.] So, shower, food, dancing, exploring? Not necessarily in that order.

[winn]

[ he gives her hand a little squeeze, it's just instinctual at this point. ] As long as the shower's first.

[passingthrough]

[It's a good instinct and it feels uniquely Winn at this point even though once upon a time holding hands was a thing it felt like she only really did with Reid. But even with the things that she could notice are similar she doesn't anymore. Reid is still an important person from her past, but he's not a ghost over her future.]

Promise. Wanna spin for a random room tonight and see what horror awaits us? Maybe it'll be clown themed.

[winn]

[ shudder. ]

Better throw in 'get blindfold' on that list of yours.

[passingthrough]

Wow, Winn. So kinky. There are furry little ears nearby. [Teasing him.]

[winn]

Gutter brain.

[ shaking his head at her (not that he's opposed to the notion) he nuzzles his slobber-filled face against her. ]

[passingthrough]

How would you know it was me otherwise? [Giggling at the slobber nuzzles, but there's no phasing or backing away.]

[winn]

You're right, you have absolutely zero other recognizable features.

[ oh, he loves the giggles :> ]

[passingthrough]

[She feels so much lighter than usual.]

I'm glad we agree. Okay, let's get that icecapades-themed room you always wanted. [She is having lots of fun making up room themes. It's becoming a bit.]

[winn]

[ and he's just gonna roll with all of them. ]

It better have a killer heating system.

[ cuz with his poor nutrition and sleeping habits, he's basically freezing all the time. ]

[passingthrough]

For you? The very best. [And she very much hopes he gets some sleep and food while they are here. She will do what she can to help even if it means exhausting him every night!] I guess we could always do a desert thing. A cactus bed sounds comfy. [Gently tugging him along.]

[winn]

[ it's the truly selfless thing to do!

he laughs and comes along ]

You take the cactus bed, I'll take the dune.

[passingthrough]

Nooooo. [Playful.] I sleep where you sleep. [Looking at him fondly.]

[winn]

Aww. [ kiss ] You loooove me~ [ in an obnoxious sing-song voice ]

[passingthrough]

Who me? [Kissing back.] Only very, very, very, very, very, six more verys much.

[winn]

Only six more? I need to up my game -
