Who: Fie Claussell & Anyone
Broadcast: Yes, fleetwide
Action: On the Wonderduck
When: July 11, early afternoon

[The camera's turned on and moved around until it's facing Fie, though the the top of her head is cut off by the cropping. Sure, why not. She's currently in the lounge of the Wonderduck, sitting snugly in one the armchairs with a small plate of fudge in her lap.]

Sounds like my coma thing was well timed. People seeing into my life like that without being invited? No thanks. [Fie stops to take a bite, licking some off her fingers at the same time.]

Still, I hope some of you were able to make friends and deepen bonds. [She swallows.] I mean, if that's your thing.

[Now, sitting back, the rest of her head comes into view. Like the ball a few weeks back, she's wearing a familiar hat in sharp contrast to her normal ensemble.]

But I want to know, what were some things you got from your world? Useless or not. I'll be here all afternoon.

[Meaning over the network... or on the ship. Come visit her.]

Comments

[sylphid]

Hm, I like cats. Why?

[Artichoke, whatchu doing?]

[willynilly]

The animal is the most important part of the mochi! And cats are easy, so I'll have them ready in no time at all! Be ready and hungry, got it!?

[This may or may not make it sound like you're being fed cats...? Either way, Ochako's already wandering off to make them.]

[sylphid]

But I don't want to eat cat...

[It's too late. Fie stares almost helplessly at the feed.

Before shrugging, turning it off and waiting for her friend to call her back.]

[willynilly]

[A WHILE LATER, Ochako calls back.]

Hiiii! They're ready, what ship can I bring them to? Or would you rather come to the Starstruck? Either's fine!

[sylphid]

Already? [Maybe cat doesn't take long to cook.]

I'm on the Wonderduck. Have you ever been over here?

[willynilly]

Nope, never have! Maybe you can show me around?

[TO THE SHUTTLE~]

[sylphid]

Sounds good. I've got some good short cuts, too. Meet you in the cargo bay.

[And off she goes!]

[willynilly]

[Ochako is there in no time at all, and emerges from the shuttle with a little bento-box filled to the brim with orange and brown mochi, decorated with little whiskers and :3 faces, lumps of baked dough sticking out for ears. They're not bad for amateur goods, and when she spots Fie Ochako happily offers the box out to her.]

Here you go! Kitty mochi.

[sylphid]

Hi. [Fie barely has time to wave before a box is held out to her. She takes it, hesitantly opening the package, and once she sees it, she lets out a little 'oh' is what might be surprise.]

Thanks. It's really cute. ... and not real cat. That's good.

[willynilly]

[Ochako's eyes widen for a moment before she bursts into giggles, half-muffled behind her hand.]

Real cat- oh gosh, is that how it sounded? That's horrible!

[And yet kind of hilarious??]

It's rice paste dough and jam. No real cats, promise.

[sylphid]

[Giggling isn't what she expected. Fie turns a little pink and huffs through her nose.]

It's not like you shot down the idea...

[Anyway! She closes the box, and nods towards the door exiting the cargo bay.]

Come on, I'll show you around.

[willynilly]

Okay!

[Ochako bounces on the balls of her feet and falls into step beside Fie, smile as bright as ever.]

I always thought Wonderduck was a really cute name for a ship... do you like it here?

[sylphid]

It's a dumb name. [But she enjoys it, if her tone is anything to go by. And she nods.] Mostly, yeah.

Our captain's pushy and annoying, so I just ignore her.

[They exit the cargo hold, and she leads them towards the lounge.]

But I like some other crew members just fine. [Meaning she made friends.]

[willynilly]

Miss Peggy can be pretty strict sometimes too, but not annoying, really... who's your captain?

[sylphid]

Mm, Signy something or other. I don't remember.

[She probably does.]

Does your ship have a lounge?

[willynilly]

Yeah, it does! We got it pretty much right away, soon as they offered those upgrades. They're not super fancy or anything, but it's nice to have.

[sylphid]

So did we. It's better for doing nothing in than the kitchen.

[Oh look, there it is. She makes a beeline for the couch.]

Maybe there's a way to make it better looking.

[willynilly]

I think we can upgrade it more over time? Oh, or how about decorating it? We can find paint, and posters, and make new furniture if we get the materials, too!

[sylphid]

[Fie looks thoughtful.] Do you know how to make furniture? I don't.

But paint and posters sound possible.

[willynilly]

Captain Carter says Max can make some furniture! Or at least upgrades, I'm not sure. I dunno if he'd be interested in making stuff for other ships or just ours, though.

[sylphid]

We might be able to pay him, if that'd help. Depends on some things, though...

[willynilly]

What things? [Well, knowing Max, he might ask for some weird things rather than just money. Canned food or excessive knives, or like, tinfoil. He's that sort of guy.]
