Take Your Tradition and Shove It

Who: Nami and you
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Bloodsport / Space Bar, Iskaulit
When: Now-ish

[Nami sleeps in an hour past the start of her shift at the Space Bar because the Atroma have always had such excellent timing.  When she finally blinks awake, all icy sweat and teary-eyed, she spends a good few minutes slowly convincing herself it was just a bad dream, not actual, y'know, memories, which is a pretense that lasts all the way until she sits up and catches sight of herself in the mirror.

Welp.

There's no definites, on either side.  That's something to think about.  She checks the time and date on her comm, realises she's only lost an extra half day, and pings the bar staff on duty to let them know she's running late.  She can have her depressing existential crisis later.  Runs through the shower and skids out into the cargo bay with her hair still damp and her backpack over her shoulder and--

And--????

There's a giant thing staggering around in here with yellow feathers sticking out awkwardly from the most godawful wrapping paper she's ever seen--]

[Indignant Video]

Hey!  [This here's a redhead with a lot more hair this morning, looking pissed.]  Who the hell left the giant bird in our cargo bay?  You can't just wrap a living creature in that much--

KWAAA!?

[She breaks off, startled, to glance over her shoulder at the crackling sound and sudden rumbling of something heading this way.  It's a wildebeest herd  And then has just enough time for a shriek before the comm goes flying , which means maybe all you get after that is a blur of yellow feathers and pink flamingo wrapping paper that's on fire (who giftwrapped the electric bird seriously) and a whole lot of joyful bird sounds who just ran over his favourite navigator sort of accidentally, but that's Biri for you.  JFC, bird.

Muffled and in the distance, after a few moments--]


...never mind.  I'm gonna be later.

[She recognises him now the wrapping paper has kind of burnt to ash, that's for sure.  Ow.]

-------

[She will eventually get to the Space Bar with all due apologies, so you can catch up with her there.  Or order a drink.  She's in a better mood than when she woke up, at least.  Giant idiot birds will do that to you.  Even if they singe your hair a little at the same time.]

Yes.

And, besides, it seems like you have a handle on the duck-u-ation.

[Vash will be hanging out at work with a smug smile on his face.] Hi-a boss! Have you had an uneventful day so far?

Yeah? Well, you probably shouldn't surround yourself with terrible people who make terrible conversations then! [Yes he knows she is talking about him.]

Where is our duck? I was about to print up new menus to say how fresh it is! [And he'd only make that joke if he was completely certain she would never actually kill the duck.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Teehee! I'm going to kill you!)

Oh good. Then I'll try to think of some creative menu items that include duck fat.

So, what's it's name?

Let me write that one down! [Look at how quickly he does not move to write that down.]

Smarter than he looks, but still kind of dumb, huh? [Vash grins. He's been called something like that himself before. He's also heard stories about her captain.] I've never heard someone described like that before.

So is he a... [Friend? Pet? Emergency food supply?] Friend from home?

[Vash is use to her getting ready to start while talking. If she needs to change he's also always conveniently cooking something or cleaning something with his nearly full attention.]

Oh, yeah? I thought ducks liked water. [He really knows nothing about ducks.]
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)

Well, when you put is like that, a bored electrical based animal doesn't seem like the best thing to have trapped on a boat out in the ocean.

I think some company is better than no company. So long as he doesn't fry the ship's life support system or something like that.

[What cat? As far as Vash is aware he's successfully re-homed it. >D]

If your entire ship flooded with water I think I would have to blame that one on you. [Said with a teasing tone. He remembers seeing her filling up an empty area for fresh water storage.] I know the amount of hot water they provide us is abysmal, but that's no reason to flood your ship!

Actually, do you have space on your ship for another crew mate? [Living with Nami would have a some really great benefits. Even though he would never actually leave his ship at this point.]

No, I'll wait until you have an empty spot. I'd hate to change ships just to chance the free hot water- ah, I mean ah- my favourite boss be shuffled to a different ship to make room!
