Mingling with the Fishes

[save_the_souls]

Who: SS Blue Fish and Anyone visiting!
Broadcast: MAYBE???
Action: SS. Blue Fish!
When: After the Shuffle to...idk whenever

[Welcome new crew and visitors to the SS Blue Fish! There's been some additions to the crew, some grievous losses and some activity as they prepare these finale days to leave the planet of Mor. Don't mind the two cats and large amounts of meat being stored. Since Blue Fish lacks a pilot, the ship can still be found docked in Mor's volcano until they leave the planet for anyone who wants to drop by for a visit!]

[In other words, get in here and mingle!]

[This Shuffle wasn't a good one for Allen. In addition to losing Ludger from the ship, he noticed Zoro and Chopper had been removed from the rosters too on their ships. Three friends in one day. Even if they weren't close, it was still too much]

[Normally, Allen would be prone to throw himself into his work to distract himself. But he had already gotten most of his work done from the blood drive, and it wasn't like there were many injuries to attend. So he's doing the next best thing- beating the utter crap out of the punching bag in the cargo bay. He's at least wearing some sort of gloves, but since he's also in a tank top- it's pretty hard to not notice that one of his arms is blood red...]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka isn't particularly bothered by the arm. He barely gives it a passing glance as he wanders in to lean on the wall, arms folded, watching Allen murder the poor punching bag. He calls it Punchy. ]

So. You've been doing some Grade A skulking lately. You got a test in it coming up or is there some other reason for it?

[save_the_souls]

[After a particular hard punch that makes Punchy go swinging- Allen hears Sokka talking and turns his head]

Huh Sok-

[And of course, since Allen is a dumbass that never to bothered to learn about the pendulum effect- he gets cut off by Punching swinging back and smacking him]

- Ah!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka winces as he watches Allen get punched by Punchy. Such poetic irony.]

Or....you can do that. [Gonna wave a hand obnoxiously in front of Allen's face. ]

HAVE-YOU-GOT-CON-CUSS-ION?

Outside the ship

[alwayscomeback]

[If you're looking for your FEARLESS CAPTAIN, you will find him outside. He has managed to get some paint, mostly blue, because, well duh, and is currently standing on a ladder, attempting to paint a blue fish on the ship.

It looks nothing like a fish.

It doesn't even look like one of those abomination of nature fishes that live at the bottom of the ocean.

It's 50/50 if it even looks like a living thing at all. ]

[dancingmd]

[Feeling a desperate need to get off the ship, Beverly is outside walking laps around the Blue Fish when she runs into Sokka painting... a... well it's a ... She tilts her head and studies his handiwork. An amoeba? A squashed blueberry? An abstract interpretation of the universe? She cups her hands around her mouth and shouts up at him.]

Captain? May I ask what it is that you're doing up there?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka beams, presenting the horrible abomination now adorning their ship. ]

Look! I painted a blue fish!

[dancingmd]

[Her eyebrows shoot up skeptically. Maybe fish look different in Sokka's world, but that looks like no fish Beverly's ever seen, on Earth or any other planet. But Sokka just looks so proud of himself.]

I see. It certainly adds a bit of color to the ship. What gave you the idea?

Kitchen

[dancingmd]

[You will find Beverly, covered in flour and her hair in a messy excuse for a bun, in the kitchen, intently kneading some dough, her tongue poking slightly out of her mouth as she concentrates on her task. Earlier this month, she was mostly able to distract herself by exploring the ship and familiarizing herself with its technology and her crewmates, but a month trapped on this terrible planet in the wrong fleet in the wrong universe has caught up with her. She needs something to remind her of home, and that something is croissants.

And coffee, even if it is oddly fruit flavored. She pauses to take a sip from a mug that's starting to go cold and surveys her progress.

Never mind that she's never actually made croissants before. It can't be that difficult, right?]

[save_the_souls]

[Oh, Allen's kitchen senses are tingling. You know, the ones where he can tell someone is cooking in the kitchen. So he's poking his face in]

Are you baking something, Doctor?

[dancingmd]

Theoretically, yes.

[She sets down her coffee and plops the dough into a large bowl, which she covers with a checkered dish towel.]

I am attempting to make croissants, but I've never baked them from scratch before and I couldn't find a recipe for them in the ship's databases, which are disappointingly lacking in much useful information. It seems to be mostly recordings of the past six months here.

[save_the_souls]

So....you're guessing and hoping it works out?

[Sadly, Allen knows nothing about baking. But he might be mildly unsure here]

Action - Newcomer ahoy! Location: everywhere??

[destinyembrace]

[Was Kairi disappointed? Yes, but it had nothing to do with the crew itself. She had hoped she would be put on the same ship as Riku and Sora, or if not, at least on Lea's (or Axel, whatever he was going by) ship. However, she had quickly discovered that wasn't the case. Maybe she shouldn't have gotten her hopes up so much...

It wasn't the crew's fault, though, so she did her best to hide the sinking feeling and instead keep a smile on her face. Being on a ship with total strangers was a little intimidating, but she was determined to give it her best shot.

But first things first, she needed to get a lay of the land, so to speak. So Kairi could be found all over the ship, exploring and trying to get an idea of what was in store. That and getting to know her new crew mates, of course.]

((OOC: feel free to pick any location! There's hardly a place Kairi wouldn't be in her first days))

Kitchen!

[save_the_souls]

[Allen is sitting at the table when Kairi comes wandering in, going through some lists. He looks up when he hears someone enter. He doesn't recognize her, which points to the new crewmate that got assigned]

Ah- hello!

Are you Kairi? I- read that you were added to our ship.

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi had noticed the other man when she had walked in, but seeing as he looked like he was reading, hadn't wanted to bother him. However, she wasn't quiet enough not to attract attention, it seemed.

She smiled and nodded at him.]

Yes, I am. I just came to check out the kitchen, I didn't mean to bug you.

[save_the_souls]

[he shakes his head]

It's fine, don't worry! I was just checking the supply list.

I'm Allen. I'm the first mate and one of the medics. It's nice to meet you.

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh hey, it's a new person. Sokka appears from...whatever the heck he was doing (probably robots) and gives her a lazy wave. ]

Oh uh, hey. Welcome to the Blue Fish.

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi turned around, away from the treadmill she had been inspecting, and smiled at Sokka.]

Hello! Thank you. I'm Kairi - although I guess everyone knows that from the announcement.

Corridor

[dancingmd]

[Beverly was just on her way to the shuttle bay when she sees Kairi wandering down the hall. Smiling brightly, she stops her new crewmate.]

Hello! It's Kairi, right? I saw the announcement this morning that we were getting a new crew member. I'm Dr. Crusher!

[destinyembrace]

[Kairi turned, smiling and waving to the older woman.]

Yeah, I am. Nice to meet you! I guess you're the other medic on the ship?

a location no one has used yet??? by which i mean the armory, what up.

[forcemageure]

[ Due to the fact that Hawke's major strengths are, it has been claimed, helping people and killing people, upon arrival he suddenly found himself named Security Officer. This means, among other things, guns. A pretty significant array of them, in fact, which he also ...suddenly knows how to use! That's wonderful and doesn't feel like someone has been using a whisk in his brain at all.

Regardless, as ever he is determined to be excellent at anything he tries, and as such can be found in the reasonably well-outfitted armory, examining what is available and definitely not shooting the hull. He's done that thing to his jumpsuit only dudes in space seem to do, where he's wearing the bottom half but the top is basically slung around his hips, thus making the a-shirt underneath actually the top, and is accompanied by the ship's cats. Because he made the mistake of feeding them once, and now he is doomed.

Slay is helping by biting his Achilles' tendons occasionally, and Alicia is helping by sleeping. Seemingly on top of everything Hawke wants to use at once. ]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly has come in search of the cats, naturally.]

Oh there you are! I was wondering where you had gotten off to.

[She heads straight for Alicia before realizing, whoops, there's a person in here. She blushes slightly with embarrassment. As a defense, she picks up the protesting Alicia and scratches her behind the ears.]

Ah, hello! I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were here.

[forcemageure]

[ Oh good, Hawke wanted at the box the cat was draped over. He makes an a-ha noise and reaches out to snag it, discovering it is a] significantly heavier than he expected and b] containing shells as long as his hand. ]

No harm done. Good luck for us both, imagine how many bits of myself I could've blown off if you'd really surprised me!

[ Uh. Yes, imagine it. Or please don't. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh hey, it's this guy. Sokka will just be wandering in, looking around the armory appreciatively. ]

Now, this, we can use.

[forcemageure]

Yes, if we need to kill swathes of people in the next twenty minutes we'll be all set!

[ Uh. Hi, Sokka. Don't let how he's an idiot put you off. ]
