everybody's starstruck in june.

[mucked]

Who: starstruck crew & visitors
Broadcast: n/a
Action: aboard the ship
When: june

[ another month; another mingle. but there are changes in the air! the starstruck has some fresh crew to boast of, as well as a spiffing new lounge. things have been difficult, lately -- the common area might make for a great place to decompress and socialize with your fellow starstruckers.

after all, it seems the captain's gone and requisitioned max's record player. for the first week in june, it'll be returned again and again to the new lounge. good luck hiding it from her, rockatanksy.

ready steady go! ]

[She obviously doesn't belong here, but she's wondering through anyway. It's nice to see that Rokurou hasn't taken apart the kitchen yet.

She didn't really expect to see Natasha here, though.]

...Hey.

[outstandingbalance]

Hey. [Congratulations, Velvet. Natasha was not expecting to run into you here.

She leans forward slightly, tilting her head.] You haven't moved here too, have you?

[searingedgelord]

[She shakes her head.]

No. Someone from home was put here. I thought I'd see how he was doing.

[And how much trouble he was causing.]

[outstandingbalance]

[A nod. Natasha understands that very well.]

I have friends on the crew. They're good people—hopefully their not giving him too hard of a time.

[searingedgelord]

[She snorts.]

Don't worry about that. He might deserve it.

[outstandingbalance]

This guy anyone I'd know?

[Because now Natasha is curious.]

[searingedgelord]

I don't know. Have you met a guy named Rokurou yet?

[outstandingbalance]

Just recently. He's new around here? Or at least, fairly new.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. I guess he showed up just in time for the ball.

[Since she found him there discovering space booze]

[outstandingbalance]

Not the best time to show up, but could be worse. At least he got to have some fun.

[Space booze are fun.]

[searingedgelord]

I think he was pretty pleased with the timing, actually.

[outstandingbalance]

Is that so? For the party or for the stealing?

[searingedgelord]

For the alcohol mostly.

[outstandingbalance]

It was good timing for that. Plenty to drink there.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. He was happy to take advantage.

[outstandingbalance]

Seemed like he was still taking advantage, when I ran into him.

[searingedgelord]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[outstandingbalance]

He always drinks like that?

[searingedgelord]

Pretty much. It's one of his favorite hobbies.

[outstandingbalance]

Must make it hard for the two of you.

[searingedgelord]

Make what hard?

[outstandingbalance]

You two being friends? Socializing? With you not drinking and all.

[searingedgelord]

Not really. We have other things in common.

[Like fighting things, and related goals, and not always making the best decisions.]

[outstandingbalance]

Ah. [A pause, considering Velvet's expression.] Better than basing the relationship on looks?

[searingedgelord]

Why would I do that?

[Looks don't have anything to do with how good you can murder someone.]

What are you implying?
