Waystation Mingle Log!

Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.

[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.

Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

Really? [she looks a little surprised, stops looking at the chest like she feels she's suddenly intruding--and she starts looking at everything with new eyes, so to speak.] Where is here, then?

[ Steffa laughs quietly at the surprised look on Krista's face, marking her place in her book and sitting up properly. ]

It's the apprentice dormitory in Ferelden's Circle of Magi. I came here when I was six.

Wow... That's so cool.

[she gets a little excited. it's one thing to read about this stuff in books, another to see it... someone really lived here. she crosses closer, having a seat on one of the beds--which she hopes is all right.]

That's really young, to start learning magic... I mean, I assume that's what you guys do... here...

It wasn't to start learning so much as to learn to control the magic I manifested when I was that age. By Chantry law, all mages must live in a Circle to be guarded by the Templars.

[ She's mostly blasé about it, even though that's... kind of an unsettling statement. ]

I definitely got a good one, though. Kind Knight-Commander, cute Templars, big library.

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-13 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh...

[she hides her vague distress pretty well. her eyes get a little wider, but it might be about the cute Templars.]

That sounds nice. Especially the library...

[she pauses for a moment... and then slumps forward a bit.]

Hey, so... Uh, I don't want to ruin the moment, but I wanted to talk with you about something.

Hardly ruined, I promise.

[ She smiles ]

I am all yours

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-15 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Cool. Um...

[she fidgets with her hair, a little...]

So... I've been thinking a lot about this captain thing, since the ships were attacked. It's totally fine on a normal day with you guys, but... I'm really worried that I'm not gonna be able to do things well enough if we run into a serious problem again, you know? And I can't even talk very loud, so it's...

[ Steffa grimaces sympathetically and nods. ]

I can understand the fear. Though if it's any consolation, I think everyone did as much as they could. I don't know that anyone could've prevented it, without a pilot.

[ Yeah she's not seeing where this is going. ]
ladiesss: (autumn • running up that hill)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-15 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Or a security guy... I know...

[she nods... that's been on her mind too. they could really use more than their run of civilian officers.]

But I, um. I've actually been thinking about stepping down from being a captain, and putting someone else in my place...

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-04-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [ Steffa blinks a couple of times, then nods. Yeah, she gets that. She's done it herself - stepped down to let someone more qualified take over. ] Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Who were you thinking of picking?

ladiesss: (summer • harder to breathe)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-19 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Well...

[she... slouches down...]

I kinda had you as my first choice.
howcanihelp: (pic#8797866)

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-04-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
You... Really?

[ She sounds a little surprised, but not displeased. ]

I would've assumed you'd choose Tadashi or Fingon, I... I'm honored, Krista, truly.
ladiesss: (spring • i'm only joking)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-19 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[...whoa! well, since this is already way less awkward than she'd been imagining, she un-crunches a little.]

Really? No way... Tadashi's got way too much stuff going on, and... [the other one is kind of complicated, so she just shrugs.] ...And I totally trust you. You care about these guys as much as I do, you know?
howcanihelp: (pic#6983536)

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-04-19 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I do.

[ Steffa reaches out to clasp Krista's hands in her own, because she's ridiculously sincere that way ]

I am honored by your trust, and I will do my absolute best to lead and protect the crew when they need it.
ladiesss: (spring • eleventh dimension)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-20 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[h-her hands are clasped. she hopes that she isn't blushing. what is her life.]

Wow, well. That's awesome.

[she smiles anyway, though... giggles a little. what a relief.]

We can tell everyone when the stuff gets processed, I guess? And I still totally want to help. Don't ever think that you, like, gotta do stuff by yourself.

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-04-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If she's blushing, Steffa hasn't noticed, so at least there's that?

I'm sorry the dorky mage hasn't let go of your hands yet, Krista. ]


Thank you. I wouldn't be able to do it on my own, that means so much.
ladiesss: (spring • i am not a robot)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-22 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely. Don't worry about it.

[there's a small pause, and then...]

Should I... keep holding your hand, here? Is this a thing?
howcanihelp: (pic#6983455)

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-04-23 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[ Steffa drops Krista's hand and might just possibly turn a bit pink. ]

Sorry, that was... unintentional.
ladiesss: (spring • the phoenix)

[personal profile] ladiesss 2015-04-27 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[a-ah, she takes her hand back. what a couple of dorks.]

Well, uh, it was sweet anyway. Don't worry about it...

[SHE STANDS UP it's about high time she ended this weirdness.]

S-So, um, let me know if you want me to do anything? Otherwise I should probably let you go back to peacefully reading in memory lane or... something.
