Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: ANYTHING!
Action: Probably either on or around the October planet!
When: Within the first couple of days that the planet shows up.

[holy shit you guys there is a planet, like, an actual planet now. what are you gonna do? get out and look? marvel at the locals? search for aliens? stand around your ship and questioning every life choice you've made up until this point? hang around in orbit because planets are for squares?

this is mostly for early stuff, so please feel free to make your own posts in the next couple of weeks with more planet (or station, or ship!) shenanigans.]

[ makoto hasn't left the wonderduck yet. what with the combined events of their shoddy landing and the fact that they are on another planet, she's feeling a little unsure of herself still. makoto is plenty well equipped (or so she thinks) to handle things of many sorts, but this isn't exactly a situation she's prepared for or even really read about in a non-fiction sort of way.

that all being said, she's only just arrived on this ship. life is very confusing.

so you may catch her pacing around, giving an odd stare at those who are voluntarily leaving to explore so easily. ]

[wilder]

[He's sorry about the shoddy landing okay! It was his first time landing! But not long after they landed, he's already got a bag with him as he starts to cross the cargo bay to leave- when he notices her pacing and staring]

Uh...haha, you okay?

[osananajimi]

[ she's a little startled, simply because she doesn't know him just yet. being a chihuahua type, she barks first. ]

I've been better! Is this a ship or a blender?

[wilder]

[Wow that is a bark, he holds up his hands in innocence]

Heeey, c'mon- it wasn't that bad a landing! [Though really it probably was with how much stuff got knocked around] The atmosphere on this planet's just a little rough! [Hella rough]

[osananajimi]

Speak for yourself! [ she folds her arms, turning a little defensively. really, though she's frustrated in general. it's just easy to blame the landing. ]

Is anyone here actually qualified to handle this craft?

[wilder]

[He gives a shrug and holds out his hands as he does so]

Sorry, there's just me. Don't think we have another pilot.

[proteusmoon]

[ As far as she knows, it's just her and Kaneis now, so when Cecil finally gets to leave the armory and venture outside the ship a little, finding someone else on the bridge is nothing short of startling, to say the least.

And it's doubly shocking when she realizes it's a familiar someone else, even.

Cecil can't believe her eyes. She blinks several times and squints at the form of the young woman pacing nervously back and forth like a cat trapped at the edge of more water than she's willing to get involved with, trying to force herself out of whatever fatigue-induced hallucination she's having. When it seems that, no, she actually isn't imaging this at all, she slowly approaches the girl. ]

Makoto...?

[osananajimi]

[ makoto tries her very hardest to hold her own! being a strong independent woman is VERY IMPORTANT. however, she's quickly reaching the limit of issues she can juggle at once. she's trying to sort out her nerves one by one, realizing that eventually she ought to leave the ship in the name of exploration. makoto matou is not a coward (she tells herself. repeatedly.) but she is stressed. very.

out of instinct she flinches away as she hears footsteps approach again, only to look up and see someone who is much, much too familiar. someone who she thought was lost forever. and maybe it was her fault and instantly, her face grows red. she can feel her throat tighten and the corners of her eyes sting. desperately, she tries to hold it all back. ]

Y-you -- [ her voice cracks. it's kind of cute. ]
What are you doing in a place like this?

[proteusmoon]

[ Such strong emotion from Makoto catches Cecil off guard. They were... well, maybe real friends underneath the pretense of social statures, but she didn't realize the girl cared this much. Cecil takes quicker steps towards the other woman with clear concern on her face, striding forward to comfort her. Gently, she places her hands on Makoto's shoulders, prepared to pull her into a hug, though she doesn't do so just yet. ]

The same thing you are, I presume: I was abducted and brought here against my will, and I don't know yet how to get home. Are you hurt? What's wrong? Besides the obvious, I mean.

[osananajimi]

[ so it's like that for everyone, then. makoto sniffles, still very obviously trying to keep what little composure she has left about her. ]

M'not hurt. [ her eyes downcast, she seems sheepish. ]
I just didn't think I'd ever see you again; aaa ... I --

[ fuck. this is embarrassing. she's not going to be able to hold it back. ]

[proteusmoon]

[ The sniffling and tearing up still strikes Cecil as unexpected, even though she could tell the younger woman was getting rather emotional, considering Cecil has only seen Makoto genuinely vulnerable once before— when her father disappeared from Court. She's always been strong and confident, so seeing her being reduced to tears like this is deeply alarming on one level. Cecil can't help but worry that things only got worse for her somehow when she returned home. It can't be that she was this upset about leaving her, Damarhis, and Kirigiri behind. ]

Makoto... It's all right...

[ Cecil gently gathers her in her arms, holding her comfortingly, content to let her cry herself out for a while. She strokes her hair a couple times too, slowly and reassuring, while she speaks softly to her. ]

I didn't think you would either. I wish it didn't have to be here, given the circumstances, but I'm glad to see you again. We missed you too.

[heresyandlace]

[Tek hasn't been on any other ship yet, so exploring while they're all parked and their crews are out to play seems like a wonderful idea. he's not really expecting anyone to still be hanging around inside them.

so, he looks a little surprised when he rounds a corner and spots her pacing]

...Oh. Hello there.

[have an absurdly pretty man with lavender eyes and fine clothes--that are starting to get a bit rumpled by now--smiling at you, makoto]

[osananajimi]

[ she's already running her mouth before she finishes turning to face him properly. ]

What is it -- ?

[osananajimi]

Oh.

[ he's kinda pretty. you should be nicer to him. ]

[heresyandlace]

[his smirk widens just a little tiny bit at her surprise, but he's still making every effort to remain polite]

I'm sorry-- I didn't mean to startle you.

[osananajimi]

[ she'll get over it. ]

Mm. I'll forgive you this time!

[heresyandlace]

Oh, thank you. That is very kind. I am trespassing, after all.

[he peers around a little]

You live here, I take it?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[okay... well... to be perfectly honest, Robin shouldn't be dicking around with other people's ships, but he gets curious and nosy and someone didn't really lock their door.

so this pale, tallish guy with a lot of black clothes and (currently) ghost-white hair sticks his head into the ship to see who's home!]

Oy, hey! Left the door wide-open...!

[osananajimi]

[ INTRUDER??? ]

Th-that doesn't mean you're invited in!

[ but really, she doesn't know the protocol on that just yet. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, shit-- [he looks up, following her voice, and... does not move from his spot. in fact, he raises his arm to wave!] Yeah, I didn't think anyone would actually be in here.

[osananajimi]

[ she's a little defensive -- mostly because she's too psyched up to leave the ship just yet. who knows what could be out there?

well, strange men, for one. ]

So you just make a habit out of wandering around empty ships, then? Is that what you mean to tell me?

[aberrant_type]

[Hange just happens to catch her curious gaze... and in turn she grins and waves! It seems like a good idea to make a friendly gesture to someone looking so out of their depths.]

[osananajimi]

Aa -- [ oh. uneasily, she waves back. ] Are you a member of this craft?

ooc;

[aberrant_type]

i'm sorry, i think i misinterpreted! was she on board the ship or off of it?

ooc;

[osananajimi]

oh i'm sorry, she is currently on it! but it's open for visitors. ;;
