Who: Makie and you!
Broadcast: Not here. Try Manji's post.
Action: Yes!  Many places.
When: Over the next week

[Marsiva]

[It's still strange how she completely forgot about this place.  Between her health and Manji's on-edge paranoia and mansplaining she's exhausted, and can be found on her own curled up on a chair by a window, watching the starry dark outside.  The first time she was here it was a little terrifying.  Now, it's just peaceful.

Mostly until she starts coughing, anyway.]

[Blameless]

[And then she gets rudely dumped amidst a shower of confetti on the bridge of an unfamiliar ship, quite literally just sitting on the ground and trying to shield her face from all the coloured paper.  Sup, guys.  Here's a pale, thin lady in a kimono and shawl who glances up once it's safe, blinking in some confusion.]

...oh.  I'd... forgotten.

[For all the confusion, though, she couldn't sound any less interested about being here.  It's not personal; that's just Makie for you.  She's eternally done with the world.

For anyone not on the bridge, she will at least explore the ship to reorient herself before she goes and takes a nap.]

[Twin Roses]

[Eventually, once she's recovered somewhat, she makes the trip here.  She's never stepped into this cargo bay with such uncertainty.   Where you guys at?]

[Humour's overrated anyway. She straightens, gaze more measuring.]

You're military. Are you alone from your world?

[vartex]

[Aaaaand she's getting the side-eye now. He doesn't know you, geez.]

There are others here.

[Who are they? You don't get to know. Not yet, anyway.]

[S'aight man she gets the hint. Military tends to get her attention, but...it's none of her business. Makie ducks her head slightly in acknowledgment.]

If you could direct me to the captain, I won't disrupt your work further, 1st Lieutenant.

[Let's see... Shiro, Shiro... when did he see him last...]

I don't believe he's currently on board. I can send him a message to contact you, if you wish.

Thank you, but...I can wait until he returns. [It's not important enough to drag him back here.] If it's all right, I'll just make some tea.

[vartex]

[Messer shrugs his shoulders slightly. Her choice, no skin off his back.]

We have plenty of that. Do you know where the kitchen is?

[therewerefifty]

If the ship's inner workings have the same layout as others, I should find it with no difficulty.

[vartex]

[Arright, well, he's done the whole token politeness thing. He's got nothing. With a slight gesture inviting her towards the bridge exit, he sits back down to return to his work as a little cleaning bot rolls in and starts vacuuming up the confetti.]
