video ► nothing left for us to find

[fujibayashi]

Who: Sheena & you? Perhaps?
Broadcast: Video, fleet-wide!
Action: Only for people on the Marsiva
When: 4/8

[action;]

[Other people on the Marsiva can find Sheena poking around the kitchen or staring out the viewing windows. She's bothered by what she can see, and she's bothered by what she's not being told. Clutched in her hands are a pair of decorative chopsticks.]

[video;]

[This is not Sheena's first space rodeo. She figures out what she's supposed to do after no time at all, really, though she's a bit annoyed. The camera shows the purple ninja framed by stars-- the window, she's not floating in space, thank goodness.]

Is this thing on? [She is 100 percent muscle and READY TO TUSSLE.] I'd like to have a few 'words' with whoever's in charge. I was supposed to be going somewhere important, not getting stuck in space again.

Also, the ships outside don't look like they're in good shape. What happened?

Comments

[wilder]

[Exactly. Bickering is what they do]

Yeah- like six months right behind me! That's not dramatic to call you late, seriously! I mean, you sure make one slow Knight-in-Shining-Armor!

[fujibayashi]

[Her jaw drops.] SIX MONTHS?! No way!

[And yet, she can usually tell when he's pulling her leg. Usually. Not all the time. She's absolutely horrified, regardless.]

I swear it wasn't any longer than, like, two seconds! Ugh, damn it, I'm so sorry. Where are you? I'm tired of dealing with this communicator thing.

[wilder]

Way. My guess is it has something to do with time travel.

[Since it ALWAYS has something to do with time travel, as his time in Exsilium has taught him.]

It's fine, it's not your fault. And...unfortunately, I'm on another ship. You won't get off that one until Saturday. That's the case for any new arrivals.

[fujibayashi]

I hate time travel. [She is so done with it.

That is not the kind of news she likes to hear, though, and her expression falls somewhat. She was... kind of looking forward to talking to him.]

That's a ways off. You sure there's no way to jailbreak? I couldn't find a shuttle when I looked around earlier, but I might've missed a room.

[wilder]

I'm right there with you.

[Yeaaah he is less than thrilled by the prospect of having to wait.]

Pretty sure. Least, I've never heard of anyone finding a way out early.

[fujibayashi]

[She sighs a bit, and moves her hands to her ponytail so that she can wear the kanzashi.]

I'm sorry. [Sheena, getting kidnapped is not your fucking fault.] I bet this isn't your idea of a nice reunion. It's not exactly mine, either.

[wilder]

Hey. You're here, you're safe and we both remember each other. That's a nice enough reunion for me now.

[And a bit more lightly]

We'll just have to put the reunion make-out session on hold for a few days, that's all.

[fujibayashi]

[She starts to smile-- then sputters at that last bit.]

W-who said anything about a makeout session!? O-or if there was one, at least have the decency to take me somewhere nice first, you jerk!

[wilder]

Aw hey c'mon! Why do I always have to be the one to take us somewhere nice?! That's just sexist! You know I'm not rich anymore!

[fujibayashi]

[BRUH YOU DID NOT JUST PULL THE SEXIST CARD.]

I thought you got paid for being involved in whatever this is! I bet you spent it all on booze.

[wilder]

[HE PULLED THE SEXIST CARD!!]

Only if you're doing interesting things! And jeez! What do you think I am- a drunk?!

[fujibayashi]

[HOW VERY DARE]

Oh, so you're a slacker?

[Pffft. She's amused though, not really mad-- and teasing him makes her smirk a bit.]

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[wilder]

[he gives a little miffed huff]

What? You should hear about some of the drama that goes on between these people! It makes my life sound practically mundane!

[fujibayashi]

That-- well, considering the state of the ships outside, yeah.

I just... I don't know, I expected you to be buried in free stuff by now.

[wilder]

Tch- I still get some free stuff, sure. Or at least discounts from shops on planets.

But it's not like I still have the status I used to, so it's not as much. [He shrugs, even if she can't see it] It's fine. I do mercenary work to get by. Better than depending on Atroma.

[fujibayashi]

Ah... yeah, definitely.

I guess I could try cooking something for us. You never had any complaints about my tofu before, so I don't see why that'd change now.

[Sheena: literally the only person in the fleet not bothered by weird tofu.]

[wilder]

[It's probably good she can't see the face he's making now]

I wouldn't call this stuff tofu, Sheena.

There's actual food on my ship. Not a lot, but we've made sure to purchase a fair amount of upgrades.

[fujibayashi]

Oh. That bad, huh. [She makes a face.]

Well then, I'll leave the shopping up to you. You grab what you can and I'll make something. Okay?

[wilder]

[She can't see it, but that gets a small smile out of him.]

Okay. It's a date.

[fujibayashi]

[Fffffff. And here she thought maybe he'd be mad and turn her down. Kinda dumb.

But here they are, and everything is fine. She tucks a bit of stray hair behind her ear.]

What ship are you on, anyway?

[wilder]

[Please, bickering is how they communicate]

The Wonderduck.

[fujibayashi]

[It's true, but she's been gone for six months! She didn't think he'd... wait...]

Gotcha. I'll let you know when I can get off this thing.

[wilder]

[Are you kidding Sheena? His father killed himself and then his mother got murdered all because daddy couldn't keep it in his pants and cheated]

[Those daddy issues guarantees you at LEAST a year of loyalty]

I'll see you then.
