Open Action: Fleet Wide

[killedwithlove]

Who: Cole and EVERYONE
Broadcast: No
Action: EVERY ship in the Fleet, bar Marsiva, Three Twins and Tourist (Though you can easily find him on another ship if you're from one of those)
When: First week of the month?

[This is a thing Cole does.

He travels the Fleet a lot, from ship to ship, meeting people, talking to people, hanging out. He sees people he knows and meets new ones, or ones he just didn't encounter before

He wants to help everyone. Which means meeting them first. Or finding them. Doing that might involve poking through the ships, even if he really shouldn't. Or going through personal belongings. Sorry about that. He's curious.

And armed. It is worth mentioning he's got a pair of wickedly sharp fighting knives on his back. Sorry about that as well.]

[Frowning slightly, Beverly tries to make sense of this. He sounds kind of like Odan, which, that reminder hurts a little, but it's an old hurt, nothing overwhelming.]

I think I understand.

[killedwithlove]

Yes, but no.

I don't live in the same body. I never lived in his body. But I have his memories and feelings. Odan is good way of thinking of me.

[Empathic, yes, but also telepathic in ways.]

[dancingmd]

[She nods, accepting this explanation, despite the scientist in her wanting to know more.]

So... can I ask why you came here? On the Blue Fish, I mean.

[killedwithlove]

I came to meet people. I like meeting people. I meet them and then I try to help them.

I like medics and surgeons. They like helping people too.

[dancingmd]

Well, we usually like visitors having visitors here, so I don't mind if you want to stop in again.

[At a more convenient time that is. She gives him a wry smile.]

Just give me a little more warning next time.

[killedwithlove]

Give you more warning?

[He clearly doesn't understand the suggestion.]

[dancingmd]

Yes, you know, to make sure I'm available? You can just leave a message on my communicator.

[killedwithlove]

Why wouldn't you be available?

[dancingmd]

[Beverly stares a little incredulously at the question before answering.]

Well, I might be in the middle of working or helping out a patient or sleeping or reading or...

[You know, trying to meditate]

... any number of things.

[killedwithlove]

I could just wait. I'm not in a hurry. I don't sleep, so I get lots more time than most people.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly represses a small sigh.]

Be that as it may, I would very much appreciate it if you called ahead, for my sake.

[Hopefully this doesn't upset him.]

[killedwithlove]

Oh! Okay!

[There's nothing like upset, or hurt, just a cheerful acceptance that she'd rather that, so he'll do it.]

[dancingmd]

Thank you.

[killedwithlove]

Do you want me to go away? You can just say it, I don't mind.

[dancingmd]

I would like to continue my exercises alone, yes.

[With absolute sincerity.]

I am glad we met though.

[killedwithlove]

All right.

I'm glad I met you too.

[He steps away, making his way back out of the area and leaving her to exercise.]
