Four Men and a Little Lady???

[got_it_memorized]

Who: The crew of the Tourist and potential visitors
Broadcast: probably not
Action: on the Tourist!
When: The week of April 12-18

[So the Tourist finally gets a female crew member! Hurray for representation! Or something. This is going to make quarters kind of awkward, but at least they have shields now, right?]

[if anyone is passing by the engine room, they will hear... weird clanging noises? Colette has wasted no time in getting to work, and once she was able to find a tie to pull back her hair, she headed straight to the center of the ship! And... well, the results are something to behold]

So the cucumber pipe goes.. ah-- here?

Ah! [there is a loud clanging as something is being dropped on the ground, and then a solid 'thump'. Yep, she just tried to sit up too quickly and slammed her head into the broken mahinery]

Ow-- huh? [but a second later beeping noises ring out and some machinery whirs back to life. Whatever she hit... it seems to be working now?] Wow... I really did it! [she says it like she can't quite believe it herself. F-Feel free to have your characters pop their head in the engine room at any point in this...comedy of errors.]

[innercactus]

... You can use your head to make things work that way too?

[ Hello new person on the ship, Asteffiel is just going to peek around the door at her. ]

[selfless]

[oh! She quickly stumbles out from under the machine that she was messing with, and nods]

Yes! I think so? I'm still trying to understand this new information... but at least intuition seems to be helping. [there's a slight implied question mark at the end]

[innercactus]

It looks like it's working?

[ Asteffiel jumps in place. ]

There's no flying about when you don't want to...

[selfless]

[she laughs a little at the flying comment]

Yeah... it must be hard to do anything if your feet can't touch the ground! I'm really amazed that you guys did such a good job defending this ship!

[innercactus]

Captain... Captain Apple, and ... [ ... He forgot the rest of their names.

He's silent for a moment, working on it! Nope. ]

The one with white hair and leaf patterns on him, and the one with the hat. They did all the defending! I had trouble catching my plants.

[selfless]

[oooh, the plants! her eyes widen as she realizes]

Do you take care of all the plants on the ship?

[innercactus]

Yes!

[ Because he is a plant, so he gets plants to grow really well- ]

I am starting with medicine plants and some flowers, and soon I will get some food plants. So we don't have to eat the cubes all the time.

[selfless]

Wow, that's really amazing! [Colette has always loved flower, although she's never had a garden of her own]

Do you ever need any help? Taking care of the plants?

[ Ladon is on his way back to the crew quarters to put some stuff in his locker when he hears some loud banging coming from the engine room. At first it's not surprising, Axel's engineer friends have been on and off the ship a lot since they docked, but then he hears a young woman's voice and that's definitely different. Cue protective instincts.

He leans in to the little room, looking concerned. ]

Everythin' all right in here? Heard an 'ow.'

[selfless]

Yes, I'm sorry! [uh oh, she hears his footsteps before he arrives, but when he sounds concerned, she seems to be tripping over herself to prove that she's okay]

And I didn't break anything... [Colette, no one said that you did] I think I fixed it! A little, at least.

[justamobster]

No need for sorry, just wanted t'make sure you ain't hurt. You're crew now, yeah? Gotta look out for our own. [ He smiles a bit at seeing she's okay. He stops then, props his hands on his hips and looks at the mess of machinery and wires. Part of him wishes he could tinker around in here without breaking anything himself, but no, he had to get the getaway driver chip in his head. ]

I'll be. How's a li'l lady manage to wrap her head 'round alla this? They got anythin' like this where you're from?

[selfless]

[ah... she smiles warmly. What a wonderful sentiment! She nods emphatically and agrees out loud] Yes!

[ahaha, and she scratches the side of her head sheepishly at the question]

A little bit? We have magitechnology, but no one in my world really uses it, and I've never been very good at it. But for some reason, when I look at these things, it makes sense! Even though I don't know what everything is called, or the specifics about how it works.

[justamobster]

Magic technology? Didn't think those things mixed, yeah? [ He rubs at his chin a bit, thinking that combination over. He can't imagine. ] Get the same feelin' when I sit down t'drive this thing. S'that augment they gave us doin' whatever it does.

[ He remembers his manners then, and tugs the brim of his hat politely towards her. ] Ladon Ceto. M'the pilot here.

[selfless]

[aw, she waves in return. Sou polite!]

I'm Colette Brunel! I'm really glad that we'll be working together!

[justamobster]

Good t'meetcha, Colette. Sorry y'got shuffled in with a buncha fellas, yeah? We'll all try t'be polite. No leavin' dirty socks around or nothin'.

[selfless]

Oh, I don't mind that. [haha, Axel brought it up too, she remembers]

Before I came here, I was on a journey. A lot of the people there were men. And sometime I was messier than them! [well... never messier than Lloyd. that takes a special talent]

[wolfuncaged]

[When someone is fixing the bowels of the vessel you have to live on, the last two words you want to hear in conjunction with one another are 'cucumber' and 'pipe'. It's even enough for make Fenris investigate. ]

I really hope you're our new engineer. Otherwise, if Axel sees this, he might have a stroke.

[selfless]

[idk Fenris, if you think about it there are way worse words.

"On fire", "Falling apart", "where did those velocipedes come from"

just spit-balling ideas]

Oh, yes that's me! I'm sorry. [she inches out from under the machinery where she's working and bows her head apologetically] I really wanted to start working right away, so I haven't said hello to everyone yet...

[wolfuncaged]

[Yes. Those are much worse words. ]

Well, I suppose you came at the most opportune time. [What with Ladon's 'driving' wrecking all their shit. ]

Welcome to the Tourist.

[selfless]

Thank you! [ahaha, she seems like... weirdly super grateful to be welcomed!]

Oh, but I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself! My name is Colette.

[wolfuncaged]

[He inclines his head in greeting/ ]

And I'm Fenris.

[selfless]

It's really nice to meet you, Fenris! [she bounces a little on the balls of her feet as she looks at him.]

What is your job on the ship?

[wolfuncaged]

...As you say. [Very few people find it nice to see him, it's weird when he hears it. ]

Security. I have the cache of weapons. [He points in the direction of the armory. ]

[selfless]

Wow! [when he points she can't help but glance in that direction, and then looks back at him]

Those looked really hard to use, that's really amazing!
