[ Kara's spent most of the last month laying low, thankful that some friends have checked on her, but still not to her regular self. The waiting is hard, the loss is harder, but she's decided enough is enough, and maybe she should just clean the various common areas on the ship. You may catch her in a deep clean of the kitchen, doing laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.

If you are a friend who doesn't visit the Tourist often, she's available by communicator. She's also making more trips to other ships to stretch her legs. Feel free to run into her wherever! ]

[ladybro]

You're always welcome on the Blameless. Plus, I moved to the captain's room -- so there's more space for slumber parties.

that's what your dog is for

[ not too long after she sends the text, there's a knock at Kate's door ]

[ladybro]

[ and lucky offers up a quiet boff at the sound of knuckles on the door -- kate shushes him, gentle-like, before answering the door with a smile. look! kara! look at all this room! for activities!

she steps aside and waves her friend in. ]

How are you holding up?

Edwin Jarvis | OTA | First Week o' September!

[edwinjarvis]

[Jarvis never sits down, does he? It's like a plague to him, the concept of sitting off his feet. You'd have to lure him with a cup of coffee. So as it is, he really isn't on board very often lately; rushing, rushing, rushing, but always providing breakfast and dinner to those who need it aboard the ship. He does stay to chat then, to make sure everything's alright...

Ah, and that's when he realizes Chloe is very absent. And it's strange, as it always is, when someone's just suddenly gone; he expects electric blue hair, perhaps a scent of smoke to tap a foot impatiently to, or maybe a use of this... 'hella' word, but there's nothing. It does nothing to soothe him, thinking she'd returned him; he hasn't a clue what she's gone and returned to. But he hopes she's alright.

So he may be a more lackluster in his upbeat style of living.

He goes off to the bistro, performs his daily rounds; perhaps he should post and see if he can fetch more chefs or waiters? You can never employ too many people when employment here helps the time pass! Not to mention, he needs to revisit the Starstruck before piloting down to the new planet, so that he may re-stock The Melting Pot proper before their next drifting phase...!

He ultimately ends up back on the Tourist at the end of the 'day', or as close to day as space gives, crunching some numbers on stock at a small desk in his room.

One may find him uncomfortably slumped there, having fallen asleep with his spectacles on.

Most unbecoming, but he's really just dead on his feet.

Is he mumbling in his sleep?]

Can't... find my pan... Souffle...

[If you come too late, though, you'll find his soft murmurings more sinister, his shoulders twitching, flinching really.]

Don't... don't hurt them... please...

Kaidan Alenko

[bi_otic]

closed to Fenris

[A couple days after the fleet enters the current system, a shuttle from the First Breath docks with the Tourist. A few moments later, a burst of audio chimes it's way onto Fenris' personal comm channel]

This is Alenko from the First Breath, asking permission of the acting Captain and head of security to come aboard.

[Maybe there isn't really protocol for that in the fleet, but it means something to him to be respectful.]

open action

[While Kaidan is here mostly to check in on Kirk, he will certainly raise a hand in greeting and stop to chat with any familiar (or unfamiliar!) faces. Especially unfamiliar, maybe, as he wouldn't want to appear as if he's intruding. Catch him anywhere between the shuttles and the Captain's quarters.]

[wolfuncaged]

[The request does bring a soft huff of amusement from the elf. So proper, Kaidan. Most people just barge onto the Tourist whenever they damn well please. ]

Of course, you're welcome here.

[bi_otic]

[He hasn't visited other ships here very often or...at all. It helps to feel the situation out and the people in it. His experience of Fenris was brief and mostly filled with getting shot at. Not much time for small talk.]

Thank you. Better to be safe than sorry with security protocols.

[He powers down the shuttle and there's the distant soft hiss of airlocks as he makes his way to the doors and onto the ship]

Speaking of which, can you meet me down here at the cargo bay, if you're not busy?

[Hopefully Fenris is actually on board, or he might have to do some barging after all]

[wolfuncaged]

I suppose you have a point, given recent events.

[Not that Fenris is vetting people coming in. Between him and Kara, he's pretty certain no one would be stupid enough to willingly attack the Tourist. ]

Certainly, I will be there shorty.

[And as promise, Fenris promptly arrives, offering a nod of greeting to Kaidan. ]

How can I help you?

[bi_otic]

[Kaidan nods back, stepping onto the deck once Fenris is there. He probably didn't need to go quite that far, but old habits are hard to break.]

I saw your broadcast a few days ago...about Captain Kirk. I know you probably would have said something if anything had changed but...I wanted to, I don't know...check in? See if there was anything I could do?

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris offers him a half-smile. ]

...Thank you. We should be okay, we lost a member, too, but so far, everyone is coping well enough. Kirk is still asleep, there are no signs of waking, but he is still alive.

[bi_otic]

Right. I figured that might be the case. I had a long nap of my own a few months back. Seems to go around, for some reason.

[wolfuncaged]

Hm. I never have had one myself, but given that these naps often predate a trip back home, I am rather glad for that.

...Did you wish to see him?

[bi_otic]

[Kaidan nods, quietly storing the information that Fenris wasn't interested in returning home away for later.]

That is why I came...[He lets out a small raspy self-conscious laugh as he looks down at the floor]...but now that I ask, it does seem a little weird.

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris doesn't seem to mind, at least, offering something close to a smile. Kind of. ]

It is fine. I am sure he would be glad to know people outside the Tourist cared enough to check on him.

[bi_otic]

[A slightly more strained smile at Fenris' attempt at one of his own. Well, in for a penny...]

Thanks. It'll just take a second. And it'll help if I know which cabin is his.

[NOT FOR THAT REASON, KAIDAN. Head out of the gutter.]

[wolfuncaged]

[Wow, Kaidan, wooooow. Still, Fenris nods, starting off towards Kirk's quarters. ]

Follow me, I will take you to him.
