Twin Roses Mingle (visitors welcome)

[passingthrough]

Who: Twin Roses’ crew, friends, and lookieloos
Broadcast: Unlikely
Action: Twin Roses
When: March 2019

[Not much has changed on the Twin Roses since their stay on the Marsiva. No crew changes. No promotions or downgrades, although Vash is no longer co-captain, but rather first mate, in case anyone missed it and Krolia is still somewhat new among their ranks.

There aren’t even any stale donuts lying around which also means the plants in the garden and pets are thriving and their food stocks are still going strong. Yep, just totally normal stuff after being gone over a month! And probably no weird things to talk about after seeing each other’s memories. Business as usual here!

Also, there was the part where they attacked the Marsiva afterward for a hot minute. Just another normal day in the life of the fleet.]

For you? I'll always make extra coffee.

[ she makes sure the sugar substitute is nearby ]

Three years? Jesus. I'm not sure I'm in the home-home part of it, but it's something.

You doing okay?

[She covers her heart with one hand to show how touched she is by this coffee pact.]

I am. There's actually kind of something about them messing with our minds here that makes me appreciate how little they overtly mess with our minds here. [They could and probably are doing it in subtle ways constantly with the augments.] Not that I'm giving them praise mind you. I've just had worse. And most of the time this place doesn't feel like a constant act of survival.

What about you? How was your first calibrations?

[sassy_assassin]

I was spared, mostly. Which is good. I've been through more than a few mindscapes and I don't like them.

[passingthrough]

So picky about your mindscape ambiance. [She smiles.] I went through my fair share I think. Some of the memories are jumbled which is probably for the best.

It's a shame you didn't stop by. My mind was super entertaining and not at all concerning.

[sassy_assassin]

And I 100% believe you.

[ she does not. ]

[passingthrough]

I knew that you would. I just have one of those faces. [Knows she doesn't and would respect her less if she did!]

This ship never feels so spacious as it does after being on the Marsiva like that.

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah, I didn't expect to be relieved to be back on the Twin Roses.

How are things with [ she nods her head toward the hallway, indicating the others ]

[passingthrough]

There's some tension after the attack on the Marsiva, but they're tough. If any crew can deal with over a month of psychic violations followed by some internal disagreement over an attack it's us. [Not that she's dismissing it at that. But she thinks some of the flare up was because of the timing and that it will smooth over naturally. Not that she won't be paying attention and looking for ways to help it along.]

[sassy_assassin]

The one time I'm glad I'm not the captain.

[passingthrough]

Just a ship full of people ready to take the title at any time. [Or just Sara and Vision. It's not like Vash was that keen on it when he had it.]
