[Castle squatted down so he could talk to his new buddy on a more equal level, adjusting his wig as he did so.]

I'm Castle, sir Shovel Knight. Could be they wanted you to help protect us, since you're a knight and all.

[passingthrough]

Funny. I'm used to losing people [but not because she was ever a drifter.] I only get worse at it. [She drums her fingers on the table and looks over.]

I still want it. [She was definitely already moving things in.] And it sucks. I miss them. [Yes, Ravi especially.] It makes me wonder who's next, but there's nothing I can do about that.

[mrfancyhat]

Good. [He smiles. He also wants credits, damn it!] People love a good party of drunk fools. Add karaoke to the mix, and it's the perfect concoction for high ratings. I'm great at karaoke, by the way.

[Not to brag... Okay, he's totally bragging. Super smug about it too.]

[mrfancyhat]

Right - Looks like I was assigned security. Good to know my strengths won't go to waste. I would have had to put in a complaint otherwise.

[Whatever keeps him kicking ass. His priorities were in the right place, of course.]

[passingthrough]

It's definitely ugly, but I wouldn't want to put my foot into it. [She smiles.]

Well, I do like being cooked for. Jarvis has been spoiling me when I crash on the Tourist.

[mrfancyhat]

[He is a little surprised Vash would go without the "Captain," if only because he would be all about it. He liked fancy titles like that.

Chuuya nods, exuding confidence.]

Good to know. I don't think I'll have any questions; this all seems like a piece of cake.

[passingthrough]

Shovel Knight? [Kitty, you have to stop being skeptical of other people's names when yours is Kitty Pryde.]

Nothing's harmed. You must have been assigned here. I'm Kitty, one of the captains.

[passingthrough]

That's good. We've been without security for awhile and no security means no weapons for the ship. [She could care less about the armory. She doesn't need guns to fight. But she does like having the big ones on the outside of the ship working just in case.]

You were in a similar line of work back home?

[mrfancyhat]

[Ah, here's where his fun begins. He wonders how long he can pull this off during his time here without ever saying he's from the mafia.

Chuuya nods, placing a hand on his hip.]

But of course! Why else would the Atroma have done this? Unless people have been misplaced before?

[goldenglasses]

[Sorry, Lance you're not the first to the armory. Vash is already there checking out the new weapons on board. Lance probably won't miss spotting the large, silver revolver that's already holstered on his hip.

Vash is checking out one of the semi-automatic guns at the moment. He can already tell it's not there for him, but it doesn't mean he's not curious about it. He's even started taking the one he was looking at apart. Not trusting their hosts to get it right. Even though so far everything looks fine.]

Well, hello there! You must be one of our new crew! Or are you visiting someone? [He gives an honest and happy smile as he sets what he was doing aside. Most people aren't generally comfortable at a first meeting when the other has a gun in their hands. Even if that gun was currently missing parts.]

[goldenglasses]

Being kidnapped in space and being told you're on a reality television show drifting from planet to planet seems like a piece of cake?

[He smiles, but can't keep the skeptical sound out of his voice.]

[mrfancyhat]

Yeah, it does. [His cockiness is never ending!] I come from a life of danger, so I've dealt with worse things.

[shovelrous]

[Oh, well, that's much appreciated. It's not often he sees someone eye to eye.]

Friend Castle, if they wanted me to guard a ship's crew, all they need do is ask and skip the kidnapping entirely.

Ah, but you mentioned asteroids... the fleet visits planets, then? Are they hostile?

[shovelrous]

Cap- Oh-

[He stood taller... sort of... and saluted. Clank against the helmet. The thought of standing in a kitchen helped him realize he was very hungry, but work came first.]

Then you may have a task for me to perform!

[thebestseller]

Oh, and there are some music files on the network somewhere. Maybe we can learn a song and become a perfect harmonious duo. Or find out if they have karaoke bars down there.

[thebestseller]

Yeah, I'm not going to argue with that. Or they could find someone who'd volunteer to be a guard, you know? But here we are.

[He nods.]

I've been here for... God, a year and half now? We've been to all sorts of places. An ice planet, a resort, and there was one where the atmosphere was so toxic we all had to wear gas masks.

Pre-23rd

[therewerefifty]

[Both ships fusing was disconcerting enough, but now the population keeps changing. There was a point when their crew was mostly women. It was more comfortable, that's for sure.

Still, Makie is having a more relaxing time of late, so while she doesn't go out of her way to be sociable, she isn't avoiding the majority of the ship, either. She inhabits the kitchen on a reasonably regular basis when she's not down on the planet, and can be found one night in the cargo bay, giving her shamisen some careful maintenance after the week's use down below.


(...you can also catch her after the 23rd as a child; just tag as such.)]

[vouched]

[ lance misses a lot, but weapons in other people's possession is not one of them, so he certainly notices it. he also pays close attention to the way the stranger dismantles the weapon. he's done this before. ]

I must be. [ so no, he's not visiting. are you this cheerful about visitors visiting the armory? seems like a poor strategy, especially for someone who seems to know what he's doing around firearms. even if you're that good, allowing strangers to access your arms is just...stupid, to him. ]

I take it you're old crew. [ he's used to people handling weapons during first meetings, mercenary work would do that to you. but he definitely prefers it the other way. ]

[vouched]

Well, with a name like Jarvis what else can the poor sod do.

[ that is a butler name if he ever heard one. ]

[goldenglasses]

I think I could learn to like this type of music. That was a laugh I think I sorely needed today.

So, was that an original song? Or one from home?

[goldenglasses]

[Knowing the type of life Kitty comes from Vash guesses her goodbyes are a bit more permanent so he decides not to ask more about those.]

I found it's better not to question things I can't really change. Less of a headache. Best thing is to enjoy the company of those who are here while we're still here. To live each day with as much joy as we can.

[goldenglasses]

See you later.

[goldenglasses]

Well, if you come from a life of danger hopefully this place won't be so bad. I mean, besides the whole kidnapping and not being allowed to go where you want to this place isn't so bad.

Get to meet all sorts of people. See all sorts of different places. Try all sorts of different food. I've heard of worse prisons.

[And been in them.]

[goldenglasses]

[Get ready to notice that it seems like Vash does stupid things a lot. Despite having a higher than average intelligence.] Old crew and co-captain. [Vash reaches forward to offer up a firm, but not rough handshake.] The name's Vash. Welcome aboard... Mr?

[vouched]

[ hey now vash, that's his job! well, his intelligence is more on the average side, but still. ]

Hunter. Lance Hunter. [ he gives a mock little half-hearted salute. yeah, he has no intention of following orders from anyone who hasn't earned it, sorry. ] Rather small village for multiple chiefs.

[ he just said no to one communal leadership, he's not about to accept another. things always get messy when you need a consensus to get things done. ]
