First Breath
1. Kitchen
[The Marsiva had become boring after the first day of having absolutely nothing to do. He'd spent the time trying to understand what was going on, and then decided napping was probably the best thing since he was stuck anyway. Which is why he was in the middle of a trance-like nap when the Atroma jingle went off and he exploded onto the First Breath's kitchen with confetti and questionable looking chocolate pudding cups.

Taako blinked, then dusted the confetti off his clothes and wizard's hat. The first thing he saw was the sad state of this kitchen, and Taako put his hands on his hips with a sigh.

Is this seriously what they want me to work with?

2. Cargo: Salvage
[After settling into the crew, Taako immediately went out salvaging. Something about that seemed to be the right thing to do, so he is dragging bits of metal sheeting, wires, robot parts, and sacks full of gears and pieces into the cargo hold. The planet is basically made for looting, so he's doing his level best to loot the shit out of it. He also has a Mage Hand - an invisible force - carrying several lush looking throw pillows trimmed in various colored fringe and blankets.

When he comes onto the ship, when he sees someone in here, he immediately motions to them.

You, person whose name I totally remember, go grab the rest of this, hm? I'm not exactly the brawn type.


Planetside
1. Shopping
[You cannot expect Taako to go to a world of literal shopping and not come back with all the craziest shit. But sadly, he does not have a lot of money since he is recently arrived and was not part of this cargo haul that apparently got some people money and others not so much. Which means Taako has to do what Taako does best and improvise.

And he's doing a goddamn God Tier job at it. He's getting new outfits pieced together from clothing crates lost to the dumps, he's getting new throw pillows, blankets, random knick-knacks, and he's trying to find some goddamn weapons just because how bitchin' would it be to roll around the galaxy with a pair of machine guns strapped to his back? Totally, that's how much.

But he still has no money, so he'll slide over to the closest person in the same store as him and smile.
]

Hey there, thug, you wanna help me with something?

2. Arena - Locked to Lup
[He could fight here, but why go through the effort? It's so much easier to wait until he sees a good bet and then toss as much of the Charmed credit he's earned so far straight into it. If he loses? Oh well. If he wins? Hell yeah.

So the second he sees Lup enter the arena, he knows exactly what to do. He bets every single credit he's earned so far on her winning. He highly doubts anyone here could conquer her level of spellcasting and the utter destruction he has a feeling she's capable of doing. Most people here relied on melee combat and, well, wizards are made for smashing from afar. This is also a good way to check what she's capable of and she did not disappoint.

Once the battle is over, he waits down by the fighters' exit, leaning up against the wall with a pocket full of credits.

Nice job, Destructo.

[Ulaz might have been a little hard to sneak in there anyway. Being over 7 feet tall made sneaking in areas where door frames were shorter than himself hard.

Plus if he actually wanted to purchase something that would be a problem]


Still, it is appreciated. You are currently redoing the kitchen or your ship?

[If in the course of their conversation Taako has indicated one of the items he had been looking at possibly stealing, Ulaz is going to step in that direction to look at it]
scalpelofmarmora: (serious)

[Ulaz picked up one of the pans, looking it over]

Yes, I remember the trouble Biffy had redoing the Blameless's kitchen... as well as decorating. I don't think I've seen someone put so much effort into creating color schemes on a ship before.

[After a moment, Ulaz glanced back at Taako. Resigning himself that he should be... neighborly at least, he picked up the remaining pans in the haphazard set and took them over to the shop owner. He was pretty good at bargaining, if only because people didn't want to deal with him too long.

Once the transaction was done, he held the pans out to Taako. For you. Now you don't have to steal them]

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-21 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. Consider it a contribution to your ship. Biffy has put so much effort into working on ours and there are not many willing to put that effort into any of the ships.

[He probably shouldn't encourage it, but he is preventing Taako from stealing at least these]

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-23 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome. Good that you aren't going to let that go just because you are here.

[A pause]

I'm probably not going to use that word.

[Shituation]

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-24 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The perfect word for a bad situation?

[Yes, it fits... but probably still not going to do]
scalpelofmarmora: (ulaz)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-25 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Ulaz can actually think of something positive with most of those but he'll leave it]

It might be appropriate. But it's not really my sort of terminology.
scalpelofmarmora: (curious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-25 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
An ever moving kidnapping.

[Since the fleet doesn't stay in place]

It could be considered that. A shituation.

[There he said it. Probably never will again]

I appreciate it. [It really wasn't necessary, but turning down generosity is rude and there was the fact that they had gotten off on the wrong foot (though it was justified in Ulaz's opinion)] I will let you know once you have gotten settled on your ship.

I should check in to see what items they have in the other room. It was good meeting you.
