As Grumpy As She Ever Gets

Who: Makie
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Twin Roses, Iskaulit
When: 3rd Sept

[Makie hardly left her room before she fell asleep in it, after Calibrations.  She shuffles out now, though, sleepy and a little unsteady, which is all the giveaway for her to realise she's overslept again.  Seems to be a habit.  She makes herself a cup of tea, checks on her belongings to make sure they don't need maintenance.  When she finds out how much time has passed from her crew, well... that's enough for her to finally leave the ship.  Even mopey depressives can feel the need to stretch their legs.

She'll visit the gardens, check on the memory tree.  And finally, she finds the swimming pool.  Because it happens to have set up shop in the place she used to go to practice in private.  Huh. 

Well, nobody can complain about her swimming now, can they?  One small problem, though...]

-----

I'm looking for someone to teach me how to swim.  In exchange, I offer lessons either in music or swordsmanship.

[Take your pick.  There isn't likely to be a flood here; no children to save from the water.  But she'll return to Adstring eventually, won't she?]

Have I missed anything important...?

Is someone playing it to annoy you?

[bythewaves]

If anyone is, I would say, it was probably our hosts.

[therewerefifty]

[...slow blink?]

It plays itself?

[bythewaves]

Occasionally.

[ Maglor nods ]

It has done so to Fingon and myself, and also to Keith.

[So by haunted he's being literal. Her eyebrows raise.]

Destroy it.

[Serenely.]

[bythewaves]

We have made attempts - but our hosts, it seems, are very keen on it remaining! My brother wants to try and train it, instead.

[therewerefifty]

...train it to do what, exactly?

[Your brother sounds odd.]

[bythewaves]

[ He is ]

Behave, essentially! I don't mind the stalking, but the random blasts I can live without.

[therewerefifty]

I see. [She... sort of sees. But she's amused nonetheless.] It seems as though he may have his work cut out for him.

Maedhros likes a challenge. [ Maglor says dryly ] Although this one might be surprisingly beyond him, I think! Only time will tell.
