Twin Roses Mingle

[passingthrough]

Who: Twin Roses crew & whoever dares to join them!
Broadcast: Nah
Action: Twin Roses
When: June

[Twin Roses is +1 Sara Lance and recently equipped a set of poker chips, a flimsy basketball hoop in the cargo hold, and a set of Bag Toss boards and beanbags. The ship lounge also upgraded to a flimsy drink cart complete with drinking glasses, containers, and a replenishing ice bucket. There's also a dart board with a set of plastic darts. Does anyone on this crew has good aim? Mystery!]

[ Sara's been out and about and exploring things, or just missing Makie in the few days since she arrived, but she encounters her in the kitchen, on her way to make a cup of coffee ]

Let me guess, you're the samurai?

[Well, that gives her pause, glancing up from her tea to eye the new arrival with some faint surprise. Who the hell is calling her a samurai?]

...not for many years. No. [Her dad kind of threw her out, it's a whole thing.] I am just Makie.

[sassy_assassin]

Sounds complicated. You might want to update Kitty.

Sara Lance. There's a lot of things I haven't been for several years.

[therewerefifty]

[...Kitty why.]

That seems to be a recurring theme for many of us on this ship. [We can start an ex-assassin club.]

...I would welcome you, but it seems inappropriate. Unless you prefer to be here.

[sassy_assassin]

It's fine. I'm used to being whisked off to weird places. Not a lot fazes me anymore.

How long have you been here?

[therewerefifty]

It's hard to say. I know I first arrived here about... two and a half years ago, by the calendar. But I left for some time in between.

A long time, anyway. I don't mind. [Her gaze turns measuring.] You're used to such whisking?

[sassy_assassin]

[ more under her breath than to makie ]

Jesus.

[ speaking up again to answer her question ]

I was recruited to be a time traveller a few years back.

[therewerefifty]

[...huh. Well, that's new. She's now genuinely curious.]

What's the purpose of being such a traveller?

[sassy_assassin]

To protect reality from people who want to alter it.

[therewerefifty]

Even if they try to alter it for the better? Though I suppose that wouldn't happen often.

[Not a lot of people are that selfless. The idea that there's enough people to try such a thing that time travelling protection is even needed is kind of disturbing. But she's been around in these places with multiple timelines that it's a concept she grasps surprisingly easily.]

[sassy_assassin]

It's not possible. Some events are fixed in time, and even when you try to fix something, you screw something else up.

[therewerefifty]

I suppose that would be true. So you would have to deal with the well-meaning as well as the greedy...?

[sassy_assassin]

You got it. We tend to be the well-meaning, though.

[therewerefifty]

What does it take for you to travel through time? They say the passengers here have all been pulled from various points.

[sassy_assassin]

Well, a time ship is pretty important.

[therewerefifty]

A whole ship...? Like this, or on the ocean...?

[Anachronistic samurai needs help.]
