[Castle takes a bow, sending the wig askew.]

... Same here, but I'm surprisingly sober. I wanted to make good use of all the costume supplies the sponsors sent me.

[thebestseller]

[Castle took several overexaggerated bows; unfortunately, the last one made the wig fall to the floor.

Cameron the cleaning bot approached it, seemed to sense that it was only going to be in her way, and turned the other direction to find some other dirt to vacuum up.]

[passingthrough]

[Kitty is lured by the scent of food into the kitchen for her third new face of the day.] I don't suppose you're the new cook. [And she doesn't really suppose it because she notices he's armed. Of course now that it's unlocked they all have access to it so you never know.]

[vouched]

Here - [ he dips a spoon into the stew, picking up some of the quicker-cooking veggies covered in sauce and holds it up to her to try ] what do you think?

[ no, he is not the new cook. but he does cook. and after a week on the marsiva he needs some real food before he's off to explore the alien settlements. ]

[passingthrough]

[She takes a taste. Here's hoping he didn't get on the ship and decide to poison the crew.] Not bad. Definitely beats flavored protein gel or flakes.

[vouched]

[ not yet, at least. not unless he determines them to be his jailers in disguise. ]

That's hardly a high bar to clear. [ he takes a taste himself, and adds a little more salt. it's definitely better than better than flavored proteins, in his opinion. ]

[passingthrough]

True. It's pretty good. The asteroids are full of root vegetables. I've been stocking up. [She hoists herself onto the counter to sit, away from any of the cooking supplies.]

[vouched]

Ah, so you're the benevolent grocery goddess? Mind pointing me in the direction of the premier gathering haunts? The mushrooms in particular are rather nice.

[ really, he's surprised to find so many recognizable vegetables in space. ] Couldn't quite place the meat, though.

[passingthrough]

I'm definitely one of them. I like to spend as little time eating the provided space food as possible. [She doesn't sound at all bothered by him using the ingredients. When she has something she really wants to save for herself or Winn she keeps it in her room, but everything else is for everyone. She definitely wants to be one of the everyones, but she's not keeping score and if something runs out then it runs out.]

It's called ung. Looks kind of like a rabbit but without the fur. The meat's tough, but not bad fried. [And hopefully slow cooked in a sauce like that it will get tender?] And I can let you know where I bought things, but if you just arrived your funds will be low.

[stabsbothways]

Is that a thing? An inevitable machine takeover?

[ She suspected it wasn't serious if they were continuing to build them. ]

[mrfancyhat]

Captain Vash.

[Chuuya is slightly taken aback by Vash's great big energy (and his height with that hair... At 5'3" that's comparably almost A Lot), but shakes his hand in return with a confident smile.]

Chuuya Nakahara. Looks like I'll be reporting to you from here forward.

[mrfancyhat]

Mm, don't think that because I've just arrived that I won't give you as hard of a time as you give me, Co-Captain.

[Fake quizzes and all!]

I'm Chuuya Nakahara. Nice to meet you.

[mrfancyhat]

[Chuuya nods understandingly.]

I can't say I blame you, in that case. Gotta give people what they want, after all. Anything to get by in this place.

[He'd definitely do the same, so he gets it. He holds out a finger at Castle.]

Promise me that next time, though, there will be booze involved.

[passingthrough]

I will make noted of that. [Curious.]

You too. What did the Atroma assign you? You should have info on one of the ship's systems in your brain thanks to their implant. [If it sounds like she's not fond of the augments it's only because she's not.] I'm a pilot.

[goldenglasses]

No need to worry about the captain bit. Just Vash is fine. [Already giving off a: I'm a cool parent kind of vibe.]

Me or Kitty. She's the other captain on board. It's good to have you as part of our crew, Chuuya. [And Vash's smile makes it look like he is honestly happy to have more people around.]

I've actually been on this television show... thing since the start of this current cycle, as they've called it, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash moves aside to let her through. Having more experience with gruff, straightforward approaches back home then the emotional type means he takes no offence.]

I understand, but hey, if you ever want to play a game of Wicked Grace sometime I'd be happy to come by or you could come here again. Wolfe was teaching me how to play. I'm no expert, but I'm getting better.

[goldenglasses]

Who says I'm not? [Because he is wearing armour under that coat. Although the way he says it he's clearly saying it as a joke.]

I'm actually doing alright. Back home I was a drifter and rarely stayed in one spot for more than a couple months at a time. You get use to parting with people. [He give a quick shrug of his right shoulder.] Although it is a bit easier when you're in control of the goodbyes.

I'm glad that Anders and Wolfe went together. I don't think they would have handled being parted from each other very well. And I suppose that means you can have the large captain's room now if you still want it.

But how are you doing? I know you were pretty good friends with Ravi.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash claps his hands together loudly and vigorously. A huge grin on his face.]

Haha! So I take it that's the glam rock you were talking about with your sponsor drop?

[stabsbothways]

[ Alright, she can't resist that. +5 Approval. ]

I'll definitely take you up on that. Until we meet again.

[shovelrous]

[Well, who was he to judge a bard by their aesthetic? If the people of the Atroma enjoyed such harmless japery...]

I see. I'm afraid I'm not much of a singer, which leaves me at a loss for what task Atroma wishes of me.

I am Shovel Knight, a fellow captive.

[shovelrous]

[Evil strongholds tended not to have kitchens. Too cozy.]

Strange... I was told by another of the captives that other vessels exist, indeed, but today has been something of a blur.

Er- I apologize. I am Shovel Knight, and I mean no harm.

[vouched]

Ung? Sounds like an ugly boot, not food.

[ that's what he's hoping for, yes. ]

No bartering in space? [ once he steps onto the asteroid, he'll find it's actually rather perfect for his particular skillset. but for now - ] I'll cook the meal if you'll spend the cash.

[thebestseller]

It's a fairly popular theme in fiction back where I come from. I figure it can't hurt to be kind, just in case.

[thebestseller]

This is but a small taste of it, yes. It's all about the big hair and elaborate costumes- all about the show as much as the music.

[thebestseller]

And the people on these asteroids love music. I am all about getting credits and I'm not above playing to the camera.

[He laughs.]

It's a deal.
