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!]

It's a dream I've had.

[that answer comes very easily. he drops his handful of sand, reaches forward to let the incoming wave wash the rest off of his fingers. it's salt water, which is incorrect--according to said dream.]

Kind of. Doesn't look quite right.

[Well, that leaves her with two questions, really. One is what's wrong with the setting, which parts did the room get wrong? But that doesn't strike her as the important one, so when she sits and starts to take her shoes off she watches Zhas carefully to see every inch of his answer.]

Was it a good dream?

[his answer is hunched shoulders and a narrowing of his eyes. his jaw sets forward a little when he thinks hard enough, she'll have noticed. it takes him time to consider the question--not because he's picking a careful way to answer, but because he's not sure how to answer at all.

he finally holds up his hand, shaking his head along with the accompanying sign for "no".]

Oh.

[That's a shame, and she doesn't particularly like hearing it or like the idea of him staying somewhere that wasn't a good place in his dreams. He could easily change the setting, or just leave. Why is he still there?]

You should do something... to make this place happy, then. Come on.

[She stands back up and grabs the hem of her shirt, pulling it up and over her head before tossing it onto the sand. Her back is covered with old scars, bullet holes and slashes from knives that have pulled and warped as she grew, but if they bother her, make her self-conscious, that doesn't show.]

We'll go swimming. Sort of. See if it works.

[he glances up at the movement and immediately regrets it. he tenses and his eyes get wider and he stops breathing for a second--barely moves, to an outside observer, but Cass can sure tell that he's startled.

his eyes dart over her scars before he makes a tiny, uncomfortable sound (embarrassed, maybe), and turns his head to look very pointedly in the other direction.]

[She forgets these things, sometimes. The people who live on her ship all behave in the same way she does, giving little thought to wearing little or nothing at all in the way of clothing at any given time. It had been a quirk of hers before she was brought here, but being surrounded by it every day for months had made it so she saw it as normal for everyone, not just her.

Zhas' reaction reminds her that isn't always so, so her hands drop from the clasp of her bra, leaving it still safely closed and on so she can unbutton her jeans instead. She'll leave the bra and panties, but she still wants to try swimming.]

[he continues to politely not look at her... his initial panic quickly settles down to more of a sullen discomfort, almost a patience, as he automatically waits for her to throw a fit about how her clothes are too loud and the fabric is too harsh.

...no, that's not right. that's someone else. what did the batgirl just say, "swimming"? so she doesn't want to get her clothes wet. before he can start to mull over the psychological mishap that him trying to swim here would be, a polite robotic voice chimes in over some hidden speakers.]
