[ New ship means exploration for Yuri. And exploration means touching everything within site, sorry Bishop peeps. The wires, the buttons . . . okay, maybe not the buttons but Yuri debates on this strongly. Right now, he's eyeing the sea serpent head with mingled amusement and judgement. ]

Looks like something I killed back in the day.

[ Otherwise, he's in the kitchen, pursing his lips as he checks the inventory. And makes faces at the paste. ]

[tough_love]

It is a trophy from the last planet we were forced to visit.

[Don't mind the giant four-armed alien making her way into the cargo hold. She's far more used to wearing her armor than not, and at least her body language provides enough clues that she isn't coming here to fight.]

The beast refused to accept defeat and fought with all it could muster- it is only fitting I give it a place of honor.

[And since her quarters provided barely enough room for her, the cargo hold was naturally the next choice.]

[evervigilante]

[ Well, there's something you don't see every day. Though compared to the Entelexeia, she looks normal enough. ]

What did he do, insult your armor?

[tough_love]

He existed. Once you've been forced to eat the disgusting excuse for food this ship has to offer, you will understand.

[Look there's nothing natural about that protein paste stuff okay. Looma, and any sensible being, needs to eat something that you can tell has come from a living organism.]

[evervigilante]

Now, now. It's too early to be insulting my cooking.

[ Yuri is not sure he's keen on this concept of killing something for existing, but he doesn't have room to talk. ]

[tough_love]

I have yet to insult your cooking.

The only thing I am insulting is the food gel.

[ the bishop seems to be a rather popular place for newcomers lately. then again, they seem to keep losing people.

when fitz happens upon this particular newcomer, he seems him touching everything in sight. please no! ]

Please be careful. Don't push any of those buttons and make sure not to pull any of the wires. Actually just don't touch any of it.

[evervigilante]

[ Yuri stops, though he doesn't look that repentant. ]

You realize telling me not to touch anything is a sure-fire way to get me to keep going.

[briste]

I suppose I do realize that, thinking of it now. Just try not to break anything, yeah? I'm the one who'd be fixing it.


[ or totally break some things! give dr fitzy a little something to do. he'll only complain about it a little! ]

[evervigilante]

I'll be good.

How come you're the only one fixing things? Does no one else on the bucket know how to?

[briste]

I'm sure others know how to. [ maybe?] Suppose I'd just prefer it's done by me.

[unbridles]

[John's exploring everything too, when he's not busy reading some books he's dragged off the Iskaulit. Sorry, guys, electricity is still a new and fascinating concept, so if the lights flicker more often than usual? You know who to blame.

When he's not reading, he's probably in the med bay, poking around all the fun new things he gets to learn about. He looks pleased. Doing something with his life that he wants to do, instead of being forced into studying law and other bullshit? Sounds awesome to him, now let's get to studying biology.]

[evervigilante]

[ Yuri can't help smiling faintly at John's enthusiasm. It reminds him a little of Estelle and her wide-eyed view of the world. ]

Are you sure you should be touching everything?

[unbridles]

I figure if it's somethin' I shouldn't be touchin', I'll find out real quick or someone'll yell at me about it. [He shoots a grin at Yuri.] An' no one has so far, so I'm doin' okay.

[evervigilante]

Or we might blow up. I hear technology can do that.

[unbridles]

Like I said, I'll find out real quick. [So far, he's been relatively safe. And hasn't poked anything that says 'danger' or a red button, even if he's really wanted to.]

[redatheart]

[They've had a lot of additions to the crew in a very short period of time - himself included, though he is now not the newest - and Sayid...honestly hasn't been around too much. (The affect of having a girlfriend who lives on another ship: he spends a lot of time at her place.) But it's good to know the people you live with.

To that end, he finds his way to the med bay at some point, assuming that their new lab support might reasonably found in his place of work.]

Ah, hello. Settling in?

[unbridles]

Yoooooo. [John waves from -- where he's sprawled out on a cot, apparently. Might as well be comfy while he reads, right?] I sure am. Or tryin' to, anyway.

[redatheart]

[Might as well! Sayid doesn't leave the doorway, leaning against it to chat.]

It's certainly a large adjustment to make. For most people, at least.

[unbridles]

[That's cool. We can all be casual in the med bay, for all John cares.]

At least it's ...kinda like military life. If ya squint hard enough, I guess.

Cargo Hold

[all7seas]

[Jack has taken to riding the stationary bicycle. It's great for having a think, and his quads have never been more sleek or powerful. Feel free to interrupt him.]

[briste]

You're more than welcome to wander about the ship, you know. You aren't confined to the cargo hold.

[ okay so he's only run into jack twice now and twice doesn't exactly make a pattern but this is the only place he's seen jack so far ]

Sorry so slow

[all7seas]

But I like to pace about! Caged lion, me. And I can make this contraption fly like the wind!

[He proceeds to really bear down and pedal at a frightening speed.]

You ought to try it!

SORRY I'M SLOW TOO OMG :c

[briste]

Except that you're not pacing. You're peddling in one place. You're more like a hamster on a wheel than a caged lion.

[ admittedly, it's impressive though! ]

No. Thanks. Wouldn't want get in the way of your exercise.

STOMACH FLU KILLED ME SORRY I AM BACK NOW

[all7seas]

Hamster....

[The peddling slows.]

What, pray tell, is a hamster? And why is it broken on the wheel?

[it all sounds awful and not at all like peddling this delightful whizzery whirlibike.]
