Decorating Madness...

[dandyofawolf]

Who: Sandalio and anyone on the Blameless (living or visiting)
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blameless
When: Starting today and continuing onward for probably a few weeks so you can catch him anytime during then

[Getting used to a new lifestyle has been a challenge that has been made more difficult by the fact that he doesn't have his pack here. Nor his mate who also happens to be his Beta. Without that balancing force and without so much as a job to do he can slowly feel himself getting...twitchy. Which means that he falls back on the most comforting thing in his life and the thing he obviously does the best.

The unfortunate victim? The SS Blameless.

It starts off small. The dishes get replaced for real ones. The quality of tea goes up. A piece of art comes to decorate a wall or table to make things more homey. However, it doesn't stop there. Oh no. The werewolf is in full takeover now and he's going to make this the finest looking ship in the fleet if it kills him.

Should you be one of the crew you can expect him to show up to discuss how to improve the look of your quarters or even the look of your work station. Should you be someone visiting well you can be sure to find the shortest crew member of the Blameless moving about fixing things up.

And yes. He did put welcome mats in front of the cargo hold doors and the shuttle bay doors. What about it? Just because he's not a commanding officer doesn't mean he can't manage something.]

[He returns from the planet with box filled with stuff in his arms, so at first he doesn't see the welcome mat in front of the shuttle bay door. But when he finally steps on it, it's hard not to realize the floor has become... softer?

He turns to his side.

Looks down.

Raises an eyebrow.]

...is that a rug?

[dandyofawolf]

[Sandalio happens to be walking by the shuttle bay door with what appears to be some lovely folded sheets. Of course he hears his captain and he pauses when he hears the question.

A smile appears on his lips.]

Of course. Since this is one of the two entryway doors it is really only natural that we should have something to welcome people coming in. I've also seen to it that we have proper dishes and a tablecloth for the table. Not to mention better tea.

[He is quite pleased with himself and it shows.]

[padadin]

I'll never say no to better tea.

[He stares at the rug for a moment while taking into account what Biffy just said. TWO rugs, dishes, tablecloth... he can see where this is going. And yes, he can tell how proud Biffy is about it all, too.

But excuse Shiro for being a bit amused.] Sandalio, are you redecorating the Blameless?

[dandyofawolf]

[One would think he'd be flustered over being caught in the act. Instead, he looks at the taller man and doesn't even blink as he looks in him the eye. As if this is the utmost important thing they could possibly be discussing.]

Of course. I had rather thought that was obvious if I am to be honest.

[And yes. He has been bullying the others into participating. Which basically means they aren't getting a say other than what they might want color-wise.]

Speaking of which, we need to discuss your areas as well.

[padadin]

[He chuckles.] I guess you're right. It's just not something you usually expect for space stations.

[So it may've taken them a moment to catch on, oops! You'd think that the man living in a CASTLE-SHIP could get it quicker, but to be honest, the Alteans don't seem big on decorating either.

Not wanting to stay on the rug forever, Shiro starts making his way to the bedrooms area. There's a box of stuff he needs to put away! Coming, buddy?]

My areas? You mean the bridge?

[dandyofawolf]

And your personal quarters.

[He sure is coming with him because he sees where he's going and this is the perfect chance to mentally take note of that bedroom layout.]

I see no reason why we all can't live in comfort.

[padadin]

My personal quarters are fine. [He's gotten over the fact Ulaz forced him to move to the captain's room, but that doesn't mean the memories aren't still there in his eyes some times. He's been taking the decorating slowly.] I always try to grab everything that could help the ship when we stop at the right system, so I've gotten sheets for myself, but the crew's rooms isn't something I get into. I agree with the notion of comfort - is there something you've been needing, Sandalio?

[dandyofawolf]

[He looks at him with the utmost serious expression. What has he been needing? Well, a number of things. Things that pull at his heart, make him stir crazy. Things that make it so he can't settle no matter how hard he tries.]

To decorate your room.

[That's what he will say though.]

[padadin]

[...what. Shiro could understand being stir crazy, but. What. WHAT. He raises a (maybe a bit judgmental) eyebrow.]

That's not something you need.
