Who: Bloodsport crew
Broadcast: nope

[Even in the midst of this, we still have new crew shuffled in.  Nice to see the Atroma are all business as usual, right?  Welcoming Kaname to a pretty miserable ship, all things considered. :|]

a - arrival (sept 22/23)

[After receiving the brief rundown from Sam about the situation with the Fleet and the planet, Kaname's remained alert. She's not one to dwell on what she can't change, so her time after that is spent either in the newly formed personnel room arranging whatever might be there, searching the kitchen, or exploring the cargo bay. Pretty much no matter where she is, a song can be heard, echoing softly. It's a murmured tune, more out of habit than any deliberate reason. Even if she runs into anyone, it won't immediately stop, but they will be greeted with a muted smile nonetheless.]

b - beyond (24 onwards)

[After the first couple days, the idol's more at ease, faster than someone not used to space travel might be. Sometimes she can be found in unusual places like the lab or bridge, looking at monitors and equipment to see if any of it might be familiar.

Otherwise, she can be found in the cargo bay, either working out on the treadmill or singing a few different songs. It's like she's used to practice.]

c - cooking (whenever)

[Gels and powders are questionable sometimes, and more than once Kaname will be sitting in the kitchen, smiling a little wistfully over a dish.]

I didn't think I'd miss jellyfish so soon.

B - the 24th?

[iattractmushi]

[Ginko has been mostly in the lab since the disaster happened, organizing and cataloging what they have on hand and absolutely not hiding what are you talking about.

But hey, here's a new face. He vaguely remembers seeing a new name in the ship roster, but not what it was oops.]

Hey there, did you need something? Or were you just looking around.

[He offers her a friendly smile, no offense meant. He's just curious.]

yes!

[axi]

[The voice catches her off guard, but not enough to startle her. Kaname looks up from a screen to see the smiling man, and she offers one back, nodding.]

Sorry about that, I was just looking to see how familiar it is to what I'm used to back home. There's not much for me to do until I get myself used to the ship.

[She walks over and holds out a hand.] Kaname Buccaneer. Nice to meet you.

[iattractmushi]

It's fine, this place is open to everyone. I'm just... I guess you'd call me the medic.

[He returns her handshake, his grip firm without being crushing.]

Likewise. I'm Ginko, welcome to the Fleet.

[axi]

Lab Support, wasn't it? Either way, thank you for the welcome, Ginko.

[Her own handshake is professional and practiced, but her sincerity is genuine. Once released, she glances around a little more.]

Still, what a time to arrive...

[iattractmushi]

That's right, yeah. I've got a little training too, from before I got here. [If that makes her feel any better.] I'm not technically a doctor, though.

[When she looks around he goes back to his notes, writing a few lines for his own reference.]

Sorry to have to tell you this, but with these places there's rarely a good time to arrive.

[Though a planet being destroyed is exceptionally bad, admittedly.]

25th -- C

[darksmokerising]

Jellyfish? That sounds like a culinary challenge.

[Merlan is still pretty exhausted but she not passing up an opportunity to snag herself some tea. She moves to fill a cup with water and offers a smile.]

[axi]

[Kaname chuckles and looks over from her own dish of... something.]

Not for the people of Ragna. It's pretty much a diet staple there. [She pauses before clarifying.] That's the planet I lived on before arriving here.

[darksmokerising]

Is your homeworld mainly water? [Merlan sits with a cuppa brewing, her eyes bright with curiosity.] I suppose my own is but I don't think I've ever had a jellyfish dish.

[She is forever curious about everything, especially aliens. She had always been fascinated with the concept. Besides, there's nothing non-humanoid about this woman that she can see.]

[axi]

Oh, Ragna's not my home world, just where I've made my home. But yes, it is. The Ragnans have gills and fins and webbed hands. They live on land, but can breathe in water and are very agile there.

[Kaname lifts her forearm up to trace a shape in the air from her elbow to mid arm, closer to her wrist.]

Jellyfish is the planet's specialty.

[darksmokerising]

Ah...so you've been to other planets? That's as amazing as the Ragnans, honestly.

[Merlan was so fascinated that she telekinetically wrung her tea bag out and set it on her plate.]

I think I'd love to meet them. They sound like a wonderfully adapted species.

[Merlan, once again, gets carried away with the questions.]

How do they prepare jellyfish? Is it just the cap that's eaten? And how do they deal with the stingers?

[She realises she just fired way too many questions and takes a sip of her tea.] Sorry. Too many questions.

B - bridge

[moseyin]

[Cloud doesn't particularly enjoy literally any part of being a pilot, but he still comes in here to try and familiarize himself with the equipment just on the off chance that he'll have to do any actual piloting if Nami goes into a coma again.

What he doesn't expect is to see some unknown girl wandering around, which shows just how much attention he's been paying to his own ship and crew.] Uhhh, hey. Are you looking for somethin', or...?

[axi]

[Kaname looks up from a screen off to the side, offering a polite smile.]

No, not exactly. I wanted to see how similar the set up here was to back home. I'm not disturbing you, am I?

[Her question's sincere, indicating she'd leave if that was the case.]

[moseyin]

Uhh, no, but are you a pilot? [DO YOU WANT HIS JOB. DEAR GOD, TAKE IT.]

[axi]

I'm personnel. Why, were you trying to find someone to fly the ship?

[Do your job you slacker.]

[moseyin]

Yeah, ideally. [Usually Nami does it, but she's f r e a ki n AWOL...

Oh well. Cloud sighs and heads over to the pilot's seat.] Well whatever. Don't let me stop you from lookin' around.

B

[namisan]

[Nami comes to find her around the 29th, newly slept and refreshed and armed with the ship roster that says she got a new crew member in the interim. To be honest, once she hears singing echoing along the corridors from the bay she just assumes that that's where she needs to go. The only other person around here who sings sometimes is her. (In the shower. Shh.)

She also doesn't want to interrupt, so she'll find a seat on one of the wooden boxes in here and wait to be noticed.]

[axi]

[This time the song is more upbeat, a nonexistent melody playing in her mind as she absently steps to a long memorized dance as if it's second nature to her. Only once she reaches an interlude does she opens her eyes to spy Nami sitting there. Rather than appear startled or embarrassed or sheepish, Kaname simply smiles pleasantly at the new person.]

Good morning.

[namisan]

[She wasn't expecting embarrassment, tbh. Not with a girl who sings in a public place. It's cute. Nami cups her chin in one hand and smiles back.]

Morning. I'm Nami. Sorry we haven't met before this.

[axi]

[She's a professional, she won't stop so easily.]

Kaname Buccaneer. No apologies needed. It'd be strange if you'd made meeting me a priority over everything else that was happening.

[Kaname moves to sit on a nearby crate as well.] Are you doing all right now?

[namisan]

[That's a surprising thing to say, and she blinks.]

...ah. Yes? I was just a little busy before now, that's all.

[Hah no she is not okay, but Nami hasn't really stopped to consider that.]

[wingenvy]

[ooh, hey, something smells good. (ish. he's army, his taste is questionable.) he's technically just passing through to find Cloud, so he pokes his head in to check. hmm, no spiky-haired guys, but a cute girl at least?]

[axi]

[A hella cute girl, thanks for checking. She's also audibly humming a tune as she moves around to find things for her meal, not taking immediate notice of the newcomer.

But there might be extra sustenance.]

[wingenvy]

[well he does like redheads. or just ladies in general

the humming is nice - she has a pretty voice - but he can't linger too long without announcing himself or it's creepy, so he raps his knuckles lightly against the doorframe.]

What's cooking, good-looking?

[which is said playfully because, while true, he's just here to make friends.]

[axi]

[Kaname hears the knock, and turns, still humming. Raising her hand for a wave, she cuts off with a chuckle at the greeting.]

I'm not sure any of this can really be called cooking, but you're welcome to see if you'd like.
