open mingle post;

[payback]

Who: Everyone on the waystation!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: open to everyone to tag into
When: October 11, 2014

[It sure is a lovely day actually pretty much indeterminate time period out here in the vast darkness of space, isn't it? I bet everyone's enjoying themselves, getting a chance to get off their dinky little ship and stretch their legs. Even on this shitty, empty little waystation.

Where are you, droot flooters? What are you up to? Stay out of trouble, now.]

[ooc: hi everyone! I thought I'd give this a try and see how the game liked it. What we have here is a mass mingle post. Rather than everyone making a bunch of different posts about landing on the station, everyone is invited to post a parent comment with their character out and about, doing something. Everyone else is invited to look at who's posted, tag them, post their own parent comments, thread jack, tag around and generally have a grand old time! It should hopefully be a nice low-pressure way to do some action tagging with each other.

Please tag in if you feel so inclined! Don't be shy to tag around!]

[She grabs his hand and shakes it, grip very firm. Her hands are rough, the grip of a swordswoman.]

Well, well! They even collected us dancers here, hm? Maybe you can entertain a few people on a slow day. [And then she grins a bit slyly.]

[catamite]

[he's totally passive on the handshake, and kind of folds his arms behind his back afterward. looking pretty bashful, but it's probably played-up.

her suggestion gets a little grin, and he shrugs up his shoulders as if he's actually shy]

That would be fun.

[aberrant_type]

Don't party too hard, okay? Take care of yourself. [She's found a little coquette, is that it? He's got a baby face. He's way too young for her. She takes her hands back and continues to smile, friendly-like.]

[catamite]

[he waves his hand, like that is just a ridiculous idea]

I never party too hard. Just the right amount.

[aberrant_type]

That sounds like a tall order for these parts...

[maybe she's thinking of a very different kind of party. Scouts don't often have cause to celebrate, so often if there's drinking and carousing it has the edge of desperation.]

[catamite]

Well... it doesn't seem like there's much to party with, really.

[if they'd had a steady supply of the things he'd like to have, it might be a different story]

[aberrant_type]

That's what I was thinking.

[catamite]

...At least it will be hard to overdo it?

1/3

[aberrant_type]

[She looks at him and then she laughs.]

That's looking on the bright side!

[aberrant_type]

But it makes me wonder what they expect us to get up to here besides cannibalizing each other...

[aberrant_type]

Speaking in a strictly metaphorical sense, of course!

[catamite]

[he just... blinks slowly...]

Shouldn't a lot of things come before cannibalizing...?

[aberrant_type]

I'm sure they will! Just my little joke. [Settling down.] Take care of yourself, okay?

[catamite]

[oh, a joke? he laughs a little, in that case. totally on the ball there.]

I will.

WAIT I FORGOT

[aberrant_type]

Mmm... now. [She glances curiously at his ears... maybe it's deformity? It's not enough to spike her into asking, at least not yet.] Can I help you with something, young man?

laughing atchu

[catamite]

Oh...

[he looks something like bashful again for a moment, but it's totally nothing but playful this time]

...I was wondering how many chin-ups you can do.

[work out with him, new friend!]

shut your pie hole

[aberrant_type]

Are you requesting to join me? [She'd let him... :'>]

no way that's where pie goes

[catamite]

Only if you want company...

the pie is now my fist

[aberrant_type]

Please yourself.

less delicious

[catamite]

It's just hard when the ship is so small, and there's only that treadmill...

good. take it!!!

[aberrant_type]

[She looks amused.] Are you anxious for me to invite you?

[catamite]

[he just shrugs! all cute-like]

[aberrant_type]

[What a silly guy. She shrugs and turns away from him. Repeated:]

Please yourself. [She isn't mad she's just not going to baby this]

[catamite]

[he doesn't know what else to do but... fall in step beside her, to follow??]

[aberrant_type]

[She grins at him in a friendly way but doesn't say anything, just makes her way towards the tree and jumps for the lower bough she was using as a pullup bar once again.]
