Who: Manji and you
Broadcast: Yup
Action: SS Vanquish and SS Iskaulit
When: April 6th to April 20th!

Backdated to April 6th just after the Shuffle – SS Vanquish

[Shortly after this thread Manji finds himself ungracefully transferred to his new ship with a spray of confetti.] Again? Am I just going to keep switching every week?

[Congrats Vanquish. You now have a disgruntled one armed and gruff looking samurai wandering around the ship.]

Now (roughly around April 20th but feel free to fudge the date) – SS Iskaulit

[Manji for some reason doesn’t want to spend much time on his own ship. So he’s wandering around the Iskaulit. Wasting time and looking into most every room.]

Thank the gods. These ships aren’t completely useless and still have bars. [Bars as in plural! And he could use several drinks. He’ll see how far his credits might take him.] Gimme your cheapest drink. [Find him in either bar.]

[After he’s had his fill of drink (or his credits ran out) Manji continues his wandering until he comes across the fox part and for a moment looks excited. Something to eat that isn’t goop! No… wait, some of these foxes are coming up to him to say hello.] Aw, shit. Don’t tell me you’re all domesticated.

[He’s just going to make sure by pulling out his communicator.]

Broadcast

So I take it the foxes in this snow room are off limits and are people’s pets or somethin’, right? Is there any room with nature in it which include animals that aren’t pets? You guys have been stuck here for years. You can make a snow room, you gotta have a place for fresh meat, right? [Don’t tell him you’re all…. gasp! vegetarians!?] Eh? [There motion down near his feet as he looks at one of the foxes trying to play with him.] Go away. I don’t want to play with you.

[Haggar liked this area because it was quiet, peaceful, a place to tuck away and recharge without drawing too much attention, there in the shadows. Certainly, people came in from time to time, but mostly she was able to avoid them and keep to her own peace.

... Until this interruption, that is, when her attention is drawn by the loud meandering man not too far away from her, and for the moment she says nothing, though fixes her gaze on him with a slight frown.]

I said go away! [Manji hasn't even noticed Haggar yet. Too distracted by a fox that has laid a ball at his feet and is prancing back and forth.] Do I look like a guy who wants to play? [And yet he's absentmindedly reaching down for that ball.] Get out of here you mangy fox. [And now throwing that ball off to the side without looking.

Right in Haggar's direction. Opps! At least he didn't throw it too hard?]

[... Incoming projectile. Well then. She'll just teleport away from that spot before it can connect with her...

... And reappear at a much closer proximity to the intruder.]

If you don't want their company, perhaps it is you who should remove yourself from the area.

[Crowley stares at Manji for a moment, processing his request. Then, carefully and pointedly, he pours him a glass of water and slides it across the bar. ]

There. Cheapest drink.

[Disgust from the tiny, invisible voice coming over the video link. Sorry, Manji. You have ghosts.

Sort of.]

Why would you want to eat the foxes? You can just buy food from the planets most of the time.

Or if you're like the Ponytail Idiot, you can go off and kill bears and keep the meat in your ship's freezer.

[It's the following day after the whole roller coaster affair that, for once, Katie's room is closed because she's sleeping in a pile of blankets, Licorice curled up close to her. Look, yesterday was exhausting. The memorial was one thing, but she also used up most of her glamour fucking with you, man.

If Manji is polite enough not to come into a room with a closed door (it does still say THE DOCTOR IS IN on the outside, so...) she'll likely shuffle out to the kitchen in her own time to make a coffee, yawning with her cat at her heels.]

[Manji jumps in surprise. Having not expected Haggar in the slightest.] Sh-- lady, where did you come from?

[Malum was the first bar he came across so while it was much nicer looking then what Manji would perfer, it was still a bar! He stares down at the water without any amusement.]

Unless you actually charge people here for water then I'm pretty sure you know this isn't what I mean.

[She just turns her head ever so slightly in the direction he had flung the ball.]

You should be mindful of your aim.

Why not? Foxes have a good portion of meat on them and if you know how they're easy to catch.

And we're not on planet right now are we? That's why I'm looking for some meat now.

[The doctor is in sign is good at keeping Manji out. He doesn't need to hear from some doctor about his health after all so he stays away.

So when Katie enters the kitchen Manji is awkwardly holding a spoon with a bunch of goop on it. Looking it over as if he's inspecting it for poison. He looks up when someone walks in and--]

YOU!?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

[Manji follows her gaze. Then back to where she stands now. Wait, is she saying she was--? How... no. Really?] You're not sayin' I nearly hit you when I threw the ball over there are you?

[This fleet is weird. HE'S SUPPOSE TO BE THE ONLY UNBELIEVABLE ONE!]

[She just gives him a look. Yes, that is what she's saying, she's not going to repeat herself.]

[gross, eating meat]

Generally, people hunt on the planets when we are stopped, so there is no need for a "hunting room". The foxes are pets, so leave them be.

[Oh. It's you. The expression she gives him is flat before she shuffles further in to hunt the coffee down.]

Don't worry. He's just a figment of your imagination, don't play with the worms.

[That might be a very confusing statement. It's probably not immediately clear that she directed that to Licorice.]

[Nami is more friendly than Crowley. At least at first.]

Cheapest drink, or cheapest alcoholic drink?

[You don't look like you're here for a slushie.]

Edited 2018-04-21 04:16 (UTC)

[Oh yes. He was already liking the reception here at the Space Bar a lot better than that other place. Not too fancy, nicer service, and much better employees if someone were to ask him.]

Alcoholic. If you please.

Tch. Wish I had known before we left that last planet. How long does it usually take to find a new planet? A month was it?

And don't worry. I won't kill the foxes here. I figured it out already that they're all pets or whatever.

Don't play... [He does miss that she was speaking to the cat.] I don't remember telling you about them. How did you know about that?

[Another weird power? Was this woman a god or something?]

Huh. [Manji looks impressed. There are a lot of strange and powerful people in this fleet.] Well, sorry. I didn't see you there.

A few weeks, give or take. It varies at times. Many of the planets offer pay in return for game as well, so it is better to wait. There is no benefit to having a room dedicated to it up here when one will not get paid.

[That's better.]

Well, now you've learned something about awareness.

[Ignoring the fact that she purposefully kept herself off to the side so as not to draw attention by people wandering in, but that was another matter.]

[Kramm's happy there's bars too, and he's working at securing himself as a bar fly at every establishment he can find. He's just as happy to meet new people as new beers, and offers a toothy grin towards Manji.]

You're really packing it in; gotta admire your enthusiasm.

[Beer on tap it is. It's not bad, it's just not the greatest, either. Of course, Manji's probably had far worse, so--]

Here you go.
