First Breath Mingle!

[detectivewonder]

Who: The crew of the First Breath + visitors.
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: Aboard the First Breath or in station docking bays.
When: 4/25-4/31.

[Every week, regular as clockwork, Tim has a new plan to up ratings - although he doesn't put it like that to anyone out loud. This week, it's a bonding activity for the whole crew - painting their shuttles bright, custom colors. For his part, he doesn't have a color scheme in mind - he's focused on detail work, adding snarling mouths to their front, and impressive fictionalized kill tallies on their sides. If they might face raiders again, every little thing they can do to make themselves more impressive could coutn for a lot...]

[ Oh. OH NO. oh no oh no oh no. He-- didn't want to flirt with her? Wasn't trying to flirt with her. ANDRASTE'S ASS WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED OH GOSH. ]

Either one, really. [ said quickly and very very obviously covering for the fact that she was flirting and now thinks that he is not interested. She's just going to... shift awkwardly and rock back on her heels. ] Wh-whichever you'd prefer. Or none! We could always just talk over the comms, if necessary.

[detectivewonder]

No! I mean, that's... not necessary. The meetings are a good idea. Uh... whether or not anyone else is present? It's fine.

[The meetings, anyway. Maybe not the - is he being clear about this? Since he's not managing clarity inside his own head, it seems maybe a little unlikely.]

[howcanihelp]

[ She's... unsure? It seems like he's saying no to alone meetings, just alone meetings. But. Steffa never really had to flirt hard for any of the action she got, so she's not the best person to ask.... ]

Yes. Meetings. Um, about. Yes. Ship... meetings. About the ships.

[ She's going to make a quick exit shortly if he doesn't stop her

Also wow, Steffa, you have officially made this awkward. ]

[detectivewonder]

Yeah. Captain to Captain. It's... I really am looking forward to working with you.

Okay?

[howcanihelp]

Of course.

[ She smiles, and... well, it's a real smile. It is! She appreciates his friendship a lot, and the fact that he's been a captain longer... even if he's only given, like, two commands? She would value his opinion if she had to give a rough one.

Still. This is awkward. ]

Well, I should... If we're going to use your leftover paint to start our own painting project, I should probably... talk to the rest of the crew about it.

Good luck!

[detectivewonder]

Thanks! Uh... you, too!
