[Broadcast (locked to Bloodsport)- Sunday Morning, 3/3]
[Calibrations sure were a mixed back of emotions. She's sure everyone's dealing with their own feelings on the matter, and sometimes a distraction can be a good thing. What better one than two new, honestly unexpected crew members.]

Good morning, I hope everyone slept well-- better than the past few weeks at least. I've got a few things I'd like to address, so I'll try to make this brief.

First, we'll welcome two new crew members. Messer Ihlefeld should be familiar to most of you by now. [Since he half lived in her office for the past year. She grins.] He's maintenance, so please feel free to make use of that. And Pavel Chekov, who is communications. I'm familiar with both of them, and I think everyone has the potential to get along just fine. I look forward to it. [Judging by her tone and smile, she sincerely does.]

Next, Messer and I are going to be in the kitchen this afternoon working on some dinner, enough for everyone. I think it'd be nice if we could all try and have a meal together-- voluntarily, of course. Please feel free to show up if you'd like to join us. No pressure if you're not comfortable with it, there will be leftovers if you'd like. Around 6:30 this evening should do it... [Kaname glances off screen for a moment then looks back.] Yep, consider dinner at 6:30 tonight.

There is another matter, but I believe that can wait. As usual if anyone has questions or concerns, you know where to find me.

[With that, the broadcast cuts out.]

[Action (OTA)- The rest of the time]
[Sunday Kaname will be checking on everyone after lunch, if she can find them, mainly to make sure they're doing all right and might be interested in dinner. She'll knock on the doors (and says her name) of personal quarters, but leave eventually if there's no response or no one answers. Anywhere else is fair game. With a smile and friendly greeting, she is happy to see her crew.

The rest of the month? Who knows? Try your luck.]

[Lorden clicks the video on and waves back, happy to be back in his armor after entirely too long without it. He sounds happy.]

Dinner sounds great! If we find some place that has decent stock and vegetables, I can fix up some ramen some time. The hot sauce we have is pretty good, but the rest of it just isn't up to caliber.

[video]

[axi]

[Kaname can't help but grin at his enthusiasm.]

Good. There are some vegetables in the community garden on the Iskaulit, but I don't know if they'd meet your requirements or not. If dinner with the crew becomes a regular occurrence, then I think switching off kitchen helpers would be a good way to add variety.

video; 3/3

[candothat]

Thank you for the welcome... and for your optimism regarding everyone's potential to get along.

[His attempt to play that off as a joke is not all that successful. The unexpected transfer immediately after that fun vacation on the Marsiva has left him rather uncertain about everything, including the whole integrating-into-a-new-crew thing. This isn't his home. He hasn't met most of the people who live here. Kirk's going to think he abandoned the Tourist on purpose. Who fed his cat while they were all off dreaming. What's going on.]

[axi]

I have faith in all of you, what can I say? [Kaname grins at her friend.

And anyone who'd think Pavel would abandon something needs a reality check.]

Would you like me to show you around?

[video]

[customplates]

[If his surroundings are any indications, he's somewhere on the Iskaulit at the time, somewhere near the mountain to be specific.]

Dinner sounds great. Is there anything you want me to pick up over here?

[video]

[axi]

Glad to hear it! [And she is. Kaname is a social person, and she enjoys the company of the ship's crew.]

Hmm, maybe some vegetables from the community garden if they seem usable today.

[ action ]

[tempredmental]

[Keith wandered over to the Bloodsport a few days after calibrations. Sure, Ulaz had posted a message to the network about taking over command of the Blameless, but he still wanted to actually speak to Kaname about Shiro and Pidge. After all, Hux didn't mention about taking over Engineering on the Bishop.

He knocked on her office door, hoping she was there.]

[axi]

[She's not, but she is approaching from the hall behind him when she catches sight of her friend.]

Keith? [Carrying Q-Lulu, she's obviously not expecting anyone, but she composes herself quickly enough.] Go on in if you'd like, I'll be right behind you.

[deathcouture]

Dinner sounds wonderful. I'm happy to help, if you need anything - I'm no chef, by any stretch of the word, but I can follow directions well enough.

[ In the past, he considered his cooking skills to be, say, average. After meeting Taako? Yep, nope. Nothing compares. But that's okay. ]

[axi]

Thank you, Kravitz, but I believe we're set for this one. If it goes well, I'd like to try a repeat. Someone else assisting next time. So if you have ideas, make note of them.

[Almost like magic~]

Lorden Gesh - OTA

[twosoul]

[A. Very, very happy to get back to his armor (what had the Atroma been thinking, not giving it to him during Calibrations?), Lorden can be found around the ship checking on its integrity, trying to scan different parts of it with an app on his communicator and failing, and messing around with the weapons systems. Got a piece of junk you don't mind spacing? He's happy to use it for target practice.

B. A fair amount of his free time is in the armory, cleaning and charging the sidearms as well as his own rifle. He got to do a little combat inside his dreams, but that's not the same as having a real enemy, and he's getting a little antsy. They wouldn't give them weapons if they weren't expected to use them at some point, right? He hadn't fired on the Marsiva when the opportunity arose, mostly because he didn't have a good enough reason to. It's not the same.

C. He can also be found in the kitchens, trying out various noodle recipes. Warning: he is using the hottest hot sauce known to man, and doesn't seem to realize it might cause problems for someone not expecting it. Gonna take him up on that taste-test offer?

D. Anything else that catches your fancy!]

[this_loser]

Something smells good.

[Hello, this is Prompto, and he loves spicy food.]

What are you working on?

[twosoul]

[Lorden grins in response and ladles out a little bit of broth into a cup, offering it with a "try this" gesture.]

Trying to figure out how to make stock with what we have. The noodles aren't bad, but I'm missing something besides greens and I'm not sure what else it needs.

C!

[deathcouture]

(( hi i'm super late, feel free to ignore if it's too late - totally get it! ♥ ))

[ At some point, Kravitz happens to enter the kitchen while Lorden's trying out one of those noodle recipes. Smells pretty great, honestly - even with the sting of the hot sauce behind it all. He smiles and looks over, curious. ]

Making something hot over there?

:D

[twosoul]

I'm sure trying.

[Memories of watching the professionals do this every day only help a little. Trial and error is where it's at, especially since the ingredients he has to work with aren't the same at all.]

Not the same without pork broth, but the noodles are halfway decent. Want a bowl?

[If so, he'll dish up his current concoction: not bad at all given the supplies they have on the ship, but not as good as something made with actual fresh ingredients.]

[this_loser]

[A]
[Prompto's first order of business is to grab all his guns and make sure they're still in good working order. He was gone for a long time - anything could have happened. They're also overdue for maintenence. His room lacks the space to really spread out, so the dining table is good, yes? Yes.]

[B]
Getting back into a routine is paramount. He spends a few days checking the ship over for any potential repairs. While still undecided on how he feels about Messer being on board, he's a little excited to have someone else around with repair and maitenence knowledge. And droids!

They're not Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Jack, but he's happy to see cleaning droids again. (He's calling one of them Jack anyway.)]

[C]
[Any other time? He can be found with a camera in hand, in weird and awkward positions, trying to get interesting angles. Or maybe he's in the cargo hold, playing with the dogs, Umbra and Pryna.

Or surprise me!]

b!

[axi]

[The engine room isn't where she expects to find him, but she's glad he's taking stock of things. Kaname knocks lightly on the door frame to get his attention, only stepping to the side when Delta 1 whizzes past her feet.]

Hey, you.

[this_loser]

[He looks over from where he's got his hands buried in machinery, smile lighting up instantly. He wipes his hands with a rag after pulling them free.]

Hey! What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

[He pauses briefly to sidestep Not-Eeny.]

A

[candothat]

[Pavel is poking about his new ship, as one does, when he rather unexpectedly comes across Prompto and an array of guns. Weapons on the table aren't odd--Pavel did live on a ship with Daryl for a long time--but he's a bit surprised to find Prompto with a small armory.]

Prompto, hello.

...These are yours?

[this_loser]

[He smiles and nods his greeting, hands busy reassembling one of the fancier pistols. ]

Ayup! Nice, huh?

[vartex]

( a. arrival )

[Shuffles are always weird. This one in particular is disorienting because he shouldn't be going anywhere, right? He's already assigned to a ship. All his attempts to transfer in the past have been ignored, and he'd all but given up on it.

Yet... here he is, on the Bloodsport. Not the Blameless. Finally.

He takes some time to make sure- finds his room, checks for his belongings, make sure everything is in order. After that, the first day is spent essentially pilfering the Blameless of all of his belongings that weren't in his room- the bike, some cookware and spices, the extra cleaning bots that didn't automatically move with him, his... weird dog thing. He seems to be doing okay on his own, unloading the shuttle or reorganizing his new room, but he won't refuse help. Or maybe you just want to say hi to your new crew?]


( b. it's probably a lost cause. )

[Hey, it's Messer, hanging out in the hallway! What's he up to?]

You can't just live in there. Kaname doesn't like when you startle people.

[He's... talking to an air vent! That's weird, probably.]


( c. wildcardish )

[Messer will be visibly around and about more often than he usually is, kind of self-indulgently enjoying the fact that he's able to live properly on the Bloodsport now, instead of just skulking around and living off the office couch. He'll be working regularly in the kitchen whipping up something tasty, or fixing and tweaking the equipment on the ship, supervising his little space roombas... keeping busy, in other words.]

B

[this_loser]

[He was going to squeeze on by and not say anything. Really. But he slows a squints at the vent, then at Messer. Um.]

Is there someone living the vents now?

[vartex]

[Messer glances over, looking... kind of tired, which is weird for him. Things have been stressful for a while now because of what just happened with the fleet, but there's also a layer of exasperation, with regards to the current predicament.]

It's just the... dog. Daisy.

[Is it a dog?? He doesn't even know.]

[candothat]

[Pavel hasn't officially met Messer, but Kaname has pointed him out before. She has also given Pavel the impression that Messer is a (generally, relatively) sane person, so he's going to assume that there is more to this tableau than meets the eye.]

Hello... Messer, correct?
