[Lounge]
[Kitty has spent most of their time in the creepy mist sector on the ship with the exception of a few shopping excursions and one very notable deep dive into the mist to retrieve Vash. It seems the Atroma or spirit of the mist or whatever decided to reward her with something from home. They had to go back fairly deep to find it. She wasn't wearing it when she had to flee her home all those years ago, but now she has a simple chain with a Star of David on it resting in her palm as she relaxes thoughtfully on one of the armchairs. Should she add it to the overloaded necklace she already wears all the time with two lockets—one from Winn and one from the previous Wanda containing pictures of Kurt, Winn, and her parents—and more recently a silver band with three blue stones on it. She'd moved the engagement ring Winn never had a chance to give her from her finger to the chain a few weeks ago following a night not spent in her bedroom.

So, you walk in and find her in thoughtful contemplation, but don't worry, she'd rather have company.]

[Kitchen]
[She is putting away food she got on the planet. There's a lot of fish since that's a thing on the planet, but also as many fruits, vegetables, and desserts as she could manage. As most of the alien food they encounter seems to do, a lot of it echos foods of Earth, but not everything is so recognizable. There is some pink, hairy thing on the counter.]

[Wildcard]
[Find her anywhere on the ship or even on the Iskaulit. She can even be on one of the floating islands haggling over some food to take back to the ship. Use this to call her instead of her inbox if you want. THE POWER IS YOURS!]

i. settling in
[Wanda has few personal belongings to unpack before she takes off to explore the ship. She still finds life in space uncomfortable, but the Twin Roses feels a little less sterile. Maybe it's the many windows (which she does pause beside to just stop and stare at the stars). Maybe it's all the greenery in the cargo bay. Or maybe it's just knowing that she definitely has friends here and other people like here.

She can be found all over the ship investigating and trying to get her bearings.]

ii. reunion [closed to Vision]
[When she had last left him, it hadn't been any big deal for him to carry her when the team jumped out of the Quinjet (safer that way, Vision could keep them afloat and she could shield them if needed). And she knows he knows what a hug is, and it's been two weeks without being in the same room as someone from home, so maybe she can be forgiven for rushing forward and wrapping her arms around him the moment she sees him.

Two weeks is a long time for a telepath to be surrounded by strangers. It's surprisingly draining.]

I missed you.

[ Sara's been spending time getting some different clothes planetside, hanging out in a bar, or working out in the gym on the Iskaulit. Despite her initial air of ease and congeniality, she's been keeping to herself more and more. It's clear that this is a shitty situation that she's stuck in, and that doesn't really inspire optimism.

For the time being, she can be found in the kitchen grabbing a cup of coffee and some protein gels, in the corridors heading back to her room, or in the lounge meditating... or trying to. ]

[So many small changes, so much that's stayed the same. It's not his Windrose, but it's close enough that it's no stretch to start thinking of the Twin Roses as a new home. The Vision spends much of his first few days wandering around the ship, pausing to contemplate something here and there - a new set of windows in the hallway, a little bit of graffiti from a previous resident in the bathrooms, his old familiar nook in the Engineering section that he now gets to share with someone else. He spends a lot of it in the cargo bay with the plants, much like he always had before - floating up to the ones on higher shelves, checking them each individually for health and harvesting leaves or seeds or roots when appropriate.

And he spends time at the kelp tank, coaxing out the little glow fish that live there and transferring them one by one into portable little sphere-tanks with wicker hangars, leaving them for a few hours, and then transferring them back. On the planet they'd come from, the little fish were used as light sources, and he wanted to make sure they still felt comfortable with the old job. Power outages did occur, and not everyone could see in the dark. Plus, they're kind of adorable.

Most importantly, he'll use his time to seek out the other crew members and introduce himself. He largely sticks to wearing his Avengers outfit on the ship; no real need to camouflage his clothing out here. So hi, there's a tall maroon person with lots of interesting costumey bits and no hair wadering around your ship, occasionally floating and phasing through objects.]

[Vash has been spending the last couple days sleeping, but once he's feeling a bit better he's up and about the ship again. Only he's dressed a bit differently as his iconic red jacket is missing. Instead he's wearing a big, baggy red sweater, a pair of jeans, and his normal leather gloves and thick boots. So he's still completely covered from his neck down to his toes.

He also still wears his hair in it's normal spiky fashion and his smile is always on his face.

The first thing after getting out of bed he does is to give his large silver pistol a good cleaning. After that Vash will typically be around the lounge practicing his harmonica this month. Or find him in the pilot seat updating the map and planet guide book he's been keeping to document the fleet's travels. Or when he's really bored he'll be shuffling a deck of cards.]

Care to play a game?

[Or start your own prompt!]

[It's your resident shut-in, doing resident shut-in things. She's been quieter than usual in the wake of good friends leaving the Fleet, but she's not particularly sad; just kind of... thoughtful. People come, people go.

She leaves the ship regularly, though, both for her job at the Melting Pot and to garden. You can catch her coming or going or, on rare occasion, in the lounge, tuning her shamisen.

...or one fine day, sitting in a corner of the cargo bay and cleaning the last traces of blood from her three-section pike. You know, as you do. Sparring is an interesting business when you face off against an immortal.]

[Sorry Twin Roses crew, but Pavel Chekov is going to be spending a lot more time with you since a number of his friends live here and the Tourist has become a ghost town. Or whatever the spaceship equivalent of a ghost town is.

Although he'll primarily be in the hallway searching for company, he'll also spend some time checking out the bridge--the communications station in particular--and the lounge. Feel free to tell him to stop touching your console and books!]

[Anyone on the ship will know Mikumo by her trademark long, purple hair. She's made her presence known enough to the Twin Roses's normal denizens that they shouldn't be surprised to see her walking around, singing and humming nearly constantly.

When she's not at the communications array on the bridge, she's in the lounge enjoying the view of space, or in the cargo bay with all of the plants.

And, well, if you pay close enough attention, you might notice that her ridiculous hair actually glows when she sings. Yep.]

OTA! Crew, vistiors, etc. You probably knew what "all" meant.
