Iskaulit mingle

[lord_wizard]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: Feb. Drift Week (and beyond?)

[The fleet, more or less patched up after their battle, has once again left civilization behind for empty space. Maybe it's a good time to distract yourself and get away from the endless repairs and nothingness, though there might still be cleaning up that needs to be done here too.

Whether you're grabbing a broom or grabbing a drink, this is a fleetwide mingle for the Iskaulit.]

[hdu he would never do drugs ever]

That's 'cause you were sleepin'. On a fine day like this, how can you sleep? Geez!

[climbs to his feet and dusts himself off]

[noprophecies]

[she huffs]

We are in the middle of the bloody stars, how can you tell what sort of day it is?

[nowyouseeit]

'Cause every day is a great day when you're alive. Don't you agree?

[look at this dazzling smile and wink combo!]

[noprophecies]

[.................................]

Are you drunk?

[that is the only explanation for him asking her, of all people, that question]

[nowyouseeit]

[FINGER GUNS and another wink]

What? No way. I'm too young to drink. I'm just feeling exceptionally awesome this week.

[noprophecies]

It makes you exceptionally annoying, you know.

[not really, she's actually glad to see him in such a good mood.

But only when it isn't interrupting her precious sleep ok]

[nowyouseeit]

[to be fair he is being exceptionally annoying]

It's worth it, for this feeling. I don't think I've ever felt so alive!

[lifts his arms above his head and stretches]

[noprophecies]

. . . are you sure you are not drunk?

[that sounds like the words of a drunk]

[nowyouseeit]

Have you ever seen me drink, Clover?

[the answer is probably no, not even in Kyriakos. he just isn't a big drinker]

[noprophecies]

There is a first for everything.

[but no, she's never seen it]

[nowyouseeit]

Trust me, this happiness ain't artificial. I just woke up one day, and-- bam!

[reaches out to grab her hands and pull her to her feet]

It's like the world shines ten times brighter than it normally does!

[man that sure does sound artificial though, doesn't it?]

[noprophecies]

[what are you doing, stop that. She tries to pull her hands away and resist his pull]

That sounds - artificial? - to me. No one just wake up that bloody happy.

[nowyouseeit]

[tug tug tug~ come on Clover play along!]

No way! If it were artificial, I could definitely tell. The whole ship seems to be in a good mood too!

[noprophecies]

[there is a countdown going down somewhere, counting down to when her patience finally snaps]

That is not suspicious to you? You bloody idiot.

[nowyouseeit]

[she is so remarkably patient with him it's a miracle. but he does stop tugging to give her a puzzled look]

No? Why would it be?

[noprophecies]

[she can't help but roll her eyes]

Because you just said everyone on your damned ship is as cheerful as you are. As I said, no one just wakes up that happy.

[always the pessimist, this one]

[nowyouseeit]

[lets go of her hands and waves his dismissively]

You're always so suspicious, Clover. Sometimes you've just gotta go with the flow.

[noprophecies]

Being suspicious of everything is what has kept me alive the last year.

[and she's sort of attached to living and all]

[nowyouseeit]

I'm not suspicious of everything, and I'm still alive.

[he's just saying?? as someone also attached to living and all that]

[noprophecies]

Somehow.

[she remembers your memories, you get shot at more than she gets attacked sir]

[nowyouseeit]

[it's true]

"Somehow."

I'm just saying, you can let loose and have a li'l fun and not be suspicious of something without dying.

[noprophecies]

And you can stand to be a little more suspicious so that you do not find yourself in trouble.

[she yawns, nose wrinkling] I can be suspicious and have fun at the same time, you know.

[nowyouseeit]

[raises both eyebrows and grins at her. well. . . grins even more at her]

Oh yeah?

Prove it.

[noprophecies]

. . . do I look like I want to have fun right now?

[she's grumpy and tired she doesn't want to do anything fun that isn't napping]

[nowyouseeit]

If you don't prove it now then I'm never gonna believe you.

[he says with a somber nod]
