[Semi-open] Stress finally takes its toll
Who: Shiro and Ulaz, Shiro and you
Broadcast: No
Action: on Duotera (for Ulaz), the SS Blameless (open)
When: Throughout this week
Warnings for the Ulaz thread: Mentions of Shiro's year in captivity, possible mentions of torture, experimentation and losing his arm; Shiro having a panic attack with flashes of said memories.
1. Closed to Ulaz
[After a really, really shitty month, Shiro must admit it: Ulaz arriving has been a blessing for his mood. Part of him knows it's messed up that people are brought back from death, but it's not like he can do anything about Atroma's plans (yet, he hopes) and damn if he won't enjoy something nice actually happening to him for a change.
He already lost one "purple". Let him have the other.
They arrive to a nice system, too, which also helps, considering they're still waiting for the third dream to happen. One less thing to worry about. So the main issue in Shiro's mind now is... questions. So many of them. When Ulaz arrived, Shiro wanted to give the poor man time to settle down, so he kept himself in check. But he can't wait any longer.
So time to make a good use of the planets! Duoatera has a nice climate and beautiful hills, so Shiro invites Ulaz for a hike. With only nature (and Procyon of course) surrounding then, they can have a private and calm conversation while exploring. So here is Shiro now, near the hills area, dressed in a nice jacket and ready to go, dog sitting next to him like a good boy.
He smiles when he sees Ulaz approach.] Hey. I'm glad you came. Have you ever gone hiking before?
2. Open - SS Blameless
[Maybe you heard from Ulaz, or from Shiro's teammates, or his crew - or maybe you've just been wondering why Shiro hasn't been around much. But the story is only one: someone finally passed out from all the stress and is now stuck in bed. And hey, maybe you've also been wondering why that someone hasn't taken the captain's room when he's now the only captain of the ship.
Well, wonder no more! Because that's where he is now. You can thank the very tall and very strong purple alien for that.
They haven't moved his stuff yet, but Procyon (now quite bigger and with longer hair) is there with him, taking advantage of the bigger bed and taking care of his master at the same time. And Shiro does have his communicator and tablet, because resting isn't a word he knows of.
He's bored, alright.
So if you're visiting him, you'll find him going through documents on his tablet. Please stop him before stress starts going up again.
Or maybe you are just passing by for whatever reason, making your way through the Blameless' slippery hallways. Since the captain's room currently has the door open (you can also thank the alien for that), Shiro will see you walk by and take the chance to speak up.]
Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor, please? [He almost sounds... ashamed? To be asking this. He feels silly asking for little things he could be doing himself, okay.]

Not much. [Shiro answers with a sigh, frustration showing. At least he has tea now? He grabs the mug and takes a sip.] Thanks, Lance. I suppose you weren't able to convince Ulaz to let me get up?
no subject
[Lance moves to sit down on the bed, reaching over to give Procyon some pets and ear scritches. Good boy, watch over your human.]
no subject
So you're all teaming up against me. [Ulaz does deserve a medal, but not for this, let's be clear.] This is unnecessary. I'm fine, Lance.
no subject
If that's what it takes, then yeah. You have an unhealthy habit of working yourself to exhaustion, buddy.
no subject
That's not what happened. [But it definitely was the road to it, Lance isn't wrong.] Being captain here is nothing compared to being a leader at home.
no subject
The point still stands. You need to chill out and relax more. Have some fun. If you wind yourself up too tight, something's gonna end up snapping.
no subject
[Then start applying it, Shiro.]

And yes, that's Shiro trying to deflect again. It's like he's forgotten the promises he made back during calibrations, everything he learned gone when Kate left and all the shit came to hit him. Hard.
So he does as he always does. He offers Lance a little smile and ruffles his hair.]
I'm fine, buddy. [Didn't he say that already?] You don't need to worry about me.
