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! ]

Your first mate drinks it. He keeps things stocked, I assume—and I don't feel bad taking it if it's his.

[uwannagobro]

I'm guessing he's one of your friends from back home?

[ What belongs to the party belongs to everyone, after all. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[That is exactly how it works. And also, it's a fun way to tease Steve.]

One of my best friends from home. We've been through a bit together, even before coming here.

Which means I stop by to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.

[uwannagobro]

Sounds like a lucky guy.

[ Rokurou knows all about the 'babysat friend' life, considering his relationship with Velvet. ]

Does he do stupid things often?

[outstandingbalance]

I'm not sure I can answer that without implicating myself.

[Considering how often she's participated in Steve's antics. Or been responsible for her own.]

Often enough to warrant the concern.

[uwannagobro]

I won't tell.

[ He says it with a grin that probably can't be trusted. ]

What's his name anyway? Unless he likes being called first mate.

[outstandingbalance]

Steve. And if you want, I can smack him around for not introducing himself properly.

[uwannagobro]

The offer's appreciated, but don't worry about it. There's plenty of crew left for me to meet still.

[ Also if he can fight Rokurou would like to try smacking him around for himself. For funsies, of course. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[Steve is pretty fun to smack around.]

Who have you met so far?

[uwannagobro]

Just Uraraka. We bumped into each other during the party.

[ And since then Rokurou's mostly been bothering her. ]

[outstandingbalance]

You know, I don't know her well.

[Natasha knows her by name, mostly.]

Looks like we both need to expand our social circles a little.

[uwannagobro]

Good thing it's never too late to start.

[ He'll definitely be following Uraraka around whenever he finds her, but having some acquaintances off ship sounds like it could be good too. Having some acquaintances period sounds great, actually. ]

You know, I'm not actually used to having too big of a social circle when I think about it.

[outstandingbalance]

Yeah. Funny how that happens around here. You get used to it, though.

Probably.

[Natasha isn't entirely sure she has, but she fakes it well enough. Counts the same.]

[uwannagobro]

[ He does catch onto that last bit. ]

Only probably?

[outstandingbalance]

Probably. I've only just met you; hard to say for sure.

[uwannagobro]

[ Fair point. ]

That's true. I haven't really shown off my social skills so far either.

[outstandingbalance]

So you do have social skills?

[Teasing, at least a bit.]

[uwannagobro]

Just barely!

[ He had enough back when he was still a human to navigate the politics of his family, after all. As a daemon, well, daemons don't usually need to sweet talk their way into anything. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Well, in that case, I look forward to seeing them.

[uwannagobro]

What, they haven't shown themselves so far? I'm worse off than I thought.

[outstandingbalance]

No. Maybe I am, though.

[uwannagobro]

No, no, we both seem to be managing a conversation at least. That's got to count for something.
