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?

[Haha, he's blushing. She'd be way more amused if she wasn't trying to compose herself after that.

As usual, he surprises her with his sweetness. He's heartless-- or so he says-- but she knows he'll get it back someday, and she knows from personal experience that he doesn't need a heart to do things.]

It's not your fault. The Initiative messed with time travel so I'm honestly not that surprised. I mean-- yeah, it hurts a little, but at least I get to see you again. That's more than I was expecting.

[Then she smiles, soft and genuine, her brown eyes warm.]

Don't worry about it. We're still friends.

[got_it_memorized]

Man, time travel gives me a headache, I don't think I'd wanna mess with it.

[He smiles when she says they're still friends, surprised at how relieved he is to hear it. He's always valued friendship pretty highly, but the idea of having lost a friend he didn't even remember? He didn't expect to be so glad that hadn't been the case.]

It's nice to meet you again, Sheena. I'm on the Tourist--drop by sometime and we could, you know, catch up. Or... I guess you could... catch me up. Or something.

[fujibayashi]

No kidding. Nothing good came out of it, honestly. The world ended up worse than it was before and a lot of people died. At least... before we went back and changed everything? I'm not sure if they're still, um, dead or not. Either way, it was a mess.

[She smiles at his offer.]

The Tourist, huh? Sounds like a plan. Or I could make you chili. I know you're crazy about that stuff.

[got_it_memorized]

See, that's exactly why time travel gives me a headache. If you go back in time and change something, then the event that prompted you to go back in time didn't happen anymore! So did you ever really go back in time? [He scratches his head.] It's just too Schroedinger for me.

[He grins broadly then.]

Ooh, chili! I have a very strict Never Turn Down Free Food policy, so you're on.

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena holds her hands up.] Oh, jeez! Now you're giving me a headache.

That's a pretty good policy, honestly. Unless you're dealing with someone who puts weird stuff in their food.

[got_it_memorized]

Ah, right, I forgot I revised the policy slightly: Never Turn Down Free Food From People Who Don't Put Weird Stuff In It. Thankfully, you strike me as a woman who appreciates food and would never waste it by putting weird stuff in it.

[fujibayashi]

I traveled for a year with someone who did. It's a miracle any of us survived.

[She shudders.]

[got_it_memorized]

Sounds like quite the adventure. I'll look forward to hearing about it.
