action 02

[devilsinthedetails]

Who: Cole Turner and you. yes, you. even you over there.
Broadcast: none!
Action: EVERYWHERE except the marsiva obviously
When: April 3rd

[No matter what ship you're on, there is a guy shimmering on it at any part of the ship you might be, not really caring where he shows up because that doesn't seem to matter to him. What seems to matter is that he's looking at a watch and disgusted by what he finds there.]

That's the worst time yet. I used to be better than this. Have I gotten lazy...or dare I say it, old? No, that can't be. I'm obviously just out of practice.

[And unless he's interrupted, he just looks like he's psyching himself up before he shimmers out to the next place, apparently trying to beat his time? idk, demons are weird and really vain.]

[ How about a grown man-plant singing children songs. ]

Itsy bitsy spider~ Climbed up a water spout! [ He totally looked into his cup of water when he sang water spout! ]

Down came the rain~ And washed the spider out! [ This med bay is full of plants, and you just shimmered in on him watering them. ]

[devilsinthedetails]

[oh no, that's cute. he has to stop.]

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain and the itsy-bitsy climbed up the spout again.

[And there's a grown half-demon singing the rest of that.]

[innercactus]

[ Asteffiel turns on sun lamps on "out came the sun", and double checks that he had watered the plant with all of that cup. ]

... Want to do a round?

[ He'll start singing it again, and then ... whoever this is can follow! And maybe help him water the plants. ]

i'm not sorry

[normallycharmed]

[ Cole you should really know better, honestly. Welcome to Starstruck's kitchen. Welcome to something just behind you exploding at the sudden intrusion. Luckily it's not a wall or something or everyone would be in trouble.

Does that stop you? Because if not she's cursing up an air into thin air. ]

never be sorry

[devilsinthedetails]

[YEAH THAT KIND OF STOPS HIM and he's kinda nostalgic for home now.]

Piper, hi! Didn't expect to run into you. [He laughs.] Good to see some things haven't changed even without your memory.

[He's really quite calm about all of this.]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly is sitting in the cockpit of one of Blue Fish's shuttles, glaring at the controls. They only bear the vaguest of similarities to Federation ships. She slams a fist down on the console. It bloops innocuously at her.]

Damn it!

[devilsinthedetails]

[He crosses his arms and looks somewhat amused by what he's shimmered in on.]

Having some trouble there, Doctor?

[realhumanbeing]

Hey!

[Steven gasps as the guy shimmers into place, and he leaps to his feet. That looks like a warp beam--]

Hey, wait, who are you! Are you a Gem? Are you warping around the place?

[faithfulwisdom]

[You know, it's probably hazardous to shimmer in on a guy sharpening his sword- and no, that's not a euphemism. Luckily, Finrod has seen enough Weird Shit in his time that he just looks up and blinks at Cole.]

You are...timing yourself?

[What on Earth, man?]

[devilsinthedetails]

[It says a lot that Cole doesn't even blink at the sword. After all, he's been stabbed before and he knows that it'd take a few hours for it to kill him.]

Yeah, I'm trying to see how fast my shimmers are. They've gotten slower and I need to practice if I want to get them back to their proper speed.

SS Pathstone

[killedwithlove]

[Cole looks as the shimmer happens, and recognises what it is.]

You can teleport too!

[devilsinthedetails]

[Oh hello there. He doesn't really know many people who can teleport in the fleet outside of like....his son.]

I can! How about that. Not many of us that can do that here, I've found.

[forcemageure]

[ ...uh. Welcome to the armory! ]

You know, [ Hawke interrupts the psyching up and or shimmering, after he's finished uh, about half-startling in place; he's not actually this blase, his surprise reflexes are just broken ] I've heard popping up in a place full of guns is an excellent way to get yourself shot.

Wouldn't do much for your aerodynamics. [ Well. He puts down the handgun he is dismantling, basically just to get awesome at it. ] Unless you lost a limb, I suppose. At the least you'd be lighter!

[devilsinthedetails]

[He laughs at the response. Cole is definitely amused by this and not even bothered by the fact that he shimmered into an armory with somebody that's armed.]

Maybe I'm the type of guy that just likes to tempt fate. Or finds getting shot a minor inconvenience. Or didn't realize where I was shimmering to exactly in the first place. You choose.

[wordmiser]

[She's on a strange new ship and now there's a strange new person appearing out of nowhere.

Yup, that's actually par for the course for her so maybe it's normal here.

Sup man. Have a lazy nod and a wave.]

SS Huntress

[serves]

[Cullen is minding his own business when a man appears in front of him. Once upon a time he'd jump out of his skin and swing his sword, but today all he can do is widen his eyes and take a measured step back.]

You might want to be careful, doing that. You could surprise someone.

[devilsinthedetails]

I've already done that today. Somebody nearly blew me up.

[He is way too upbeat about that. Cole, what is your life.]

But I know this ship and I don't know you, so I think I need to change that.

[misconceived]

... You realize you're going hundreds of miles at a time between ships, right?

[ Chris isn't even surprised, not even phased, but he might be trying to speak sense to a vain half-demon. Maybe. ]

[devilsinthedetails]

And I've gone thousands of miles at a time before at a much higher ace than this.

[Chris, go deal with your dad's vanity. It's out of control.]

[lord_wizard]

[Look, even wizards have to do their laundry, especially when you only own two outfits he'd deem to be acceptable. He'd rather not have anyone call attention to this chore, especially while he's wearing this stupid jumpsuit which clashes terribly with the amount of jewelry he wears. And of course Cole shimmers into the hallway right in front of him, making him stagger back in alarm and drop his clothing all over the floor.

It actually only takes a few more seconds, once the shock wears off, for him to recognize the man]

It's you.

[devilsinthedetails]

[There's a definite look of confusion on his face. He doesn't remember doing anything to cause that sort of recognition. Though he does give himself points for that reaction to the shimmering. Good job, self. A+]

Yes, me. Hello, what have I done now?

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Steph's curled on her bunk, scanning the network for anything interesting, when Cole shows up - and she responds, quite rationally, by yelping and throwing her pillow at him as hard as she can.

...his appearance could have been an attack. Maybe. Somehow. ]

[devilsinthedetails]

[There were many things that Cole was expecting to happen when shimmering around, but the one thing he didn't expect was a pillow thrown at him. Okay, I'm lying, he expected a pillow or other nearby things to be thrown at him. Pure instinct has him catch the pillow and just keep it in the same place that he caught it for a moment before he lowers it, looks at her, and holds out the pillow for her.]

Uh, hi. Sorry about that. I think this is your pillow. Would you like it back?

[ladiesss]

[hello you've just shimmered... into the Bishop's bathroom, where Krista is diligently brushing her teeth. she just kind of looks over at him, toothbrush sticking out of her mouth. talks around it.]

Well... This is awkward.

[seems. maybe less freaked out than she should be, though.]

[mysterzie]

[ There is a moment where Aaron sees Cole and his face lights up. The fact that he's using some form of teleportation doesn't even register; Jace has a full deck and in space, it's entirely possible he's actually using one of his reserve powers instead of being a prude about it. ]

Jace—!

[ But something is wrong. The face is off, bit too in between the ages that Jace shows. His demeanor, his vocal tendency. As a shapeshifter, Aaron at least knows how to pay attention to those in order to pretend to be someone else for all that the actual words come out entirely wrong. ]

No. Who the fuck are you?!
