Open/Mingle - Roll Call.

Who: Sam, and you, and anyone; tis a mingle of sorts.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bloodsport, if you wanna find him.
When: After the planet is struck - Sept 22nd.

Note: Feel free to tag each other and inform everyone of whatever you need to, post-planetary explosion! I'll tag here and there, but consider it more of a mingle for people to touch bases about casualities and making sure people know they're okay (or if someone's injured.)

[Sam sits, triumphant in their mission but also defeated in spirit. Because yeah, they got the ship off the planet, and there's a whole civilization of people who get out of there... but he also is already too aware there is at least one fatality on their end already. Looma's last broadcast had been expected, especially after she'd sent him a warning beacon as the meteor pressed down into the planet's atmosphere, speeding, ready to smash the thing to pieces without effort.

Looma at least faced her death as one would expect, for her people. He imagines they would be proud.

Still, he sounds deflated at the thought, as he speaks a more leveled and straightforward response:]


... We've lost Captain Looma, of the SS Bishop. Umm... for what it's worth, she did it on her terms. I'm sorry.


[He's carried out the task of divvying up the blood from the blood drive, in case anyone from any particular ship needs it; there've been some injuries from shrapnel and citizen unrest, he's pretty sure. That's about all he can do, now, other than check in on the gardens... make sure Fie's work is continued alongside her, because it's important to keep those plants alive and thriving.

He slumps a little in weariness, sighing at his desk where he sits on the SS Bloodsport.]



... Role call?


Who's, um. Who's missing?

mucked: (☂ isn't it hard to make up your mind?)

Understood. [ -- there is a direct and no-nonsense quality to her voice. gone is the slyness. gone the careful discretion while she talks around a problem rather than straight at it. sam winchester is a brother-in-arms by this stretch of circumstance. she trades with him as she might a fellow agent.

or a fellow soldier. ]


I'm fine. Unscathed. Others obviously are not so fortunate.

[ she's far from fine in her heart. but that's not the question, is it? he'd asked whether she was okay. by most measurements, she was. ]
mucked: (☂i searched for form and land)

[ there's an instinct to stay near the starstruck -- to wait out her missing crew. but it's a passive instinct, in the end, and it doesn't sit so well in her gut. so although she suspects sam is being charitable in his offer, she pursues it. ]

I've got two hands and a willingness to help.
mucked: (☂ of those wild nights)

Four hours? Bloody luxury. [ it's an unhappy laugh. ] I'll be in my quarters. Knock and let yourself in.
mucked: (☂ your face to face)

-- I said to let yourself in, Winchester.

[ if it seems as though they've backslid on that front, then it's only so that peggy can appropriately distinguish the two sams in conversation. she means it with as much affection as she might use for his proper name. but once he's inside, he'll find her tidying away a vanity desk that is half papers and half cosmetics. it's the papers she's focused on just now, tying them together with a leather string and setting them in a drawer.

the room itself is considerably larger than any previous time he's visited her. and...is that a pair of walk-in closets? ]
mucked: (☂ i gotta tell you the truth)

Join the army.

[ she puts on a brave smile. it doesn't reach her eyes. ]

You learn very early on how to keep your cot very tidy. And if you don't, you'll learn almost as early on to regret it.

[ and there are two ex-military sorts living in this room. although steve's portions might be just as neat, they at least boast more in them: more books, more treasures, more sketchpads. squared away and clean, yes, but still more.

peggy reaches for her leather coat -- the one jim barnes gave her for christmas two years ago -- and meets sam by the doorway. ]
mucked: (☂ away from the streets and signs)

Hospital corners. [ she matches his laughter, hollow though it is. ] Those I learned at school.
mucked: (☂ forever isn't for everyone)

Oh, there was a bit of that also. [ and because the '30s were kinda fucked up, she adds almost proudly: ] Not to mention how to outlast the headmaster's switch.
mucked: (☂ the only girl)

[ a snort of laughter. ]

As it turns out. [ peg walks with him. ] Don't tell me you tried, Sam. Good Lord, I don't know for whom I'd feel worse.

[ the kid or the school. ]
mucked: (☂ snap out of it)

Now that I can readily believe. [ HERE IT COMES. ] You're trouble, Sam Winchester.

[ go on. ask. ]
mucked: (☂ ever so patiently)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-09 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you. [ a huff of air. ] You can have your book back.
mucked: (☂ deep asleep)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-10 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I might have have gotten a little spooked, [ she explains -- holding her thumb and index together to indicate what must indeed be a very very small amount. ]
mucked: (☂ under a spell)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-10 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That book was foul, Sam. [ foul!!! ] Indulgent, depraved, and -- God help me, I read every last page of it.
