Who: skullkid! er. emblica.
Broadcast: nope.
Action: one fish, two fish, red fish, b-- no, it's just the red fish. or the neat little planet we're on.
When: early evening.

[ Actually, use of the term "skullkid" was not exactly correct for once, since she's not wearing it today. Who is this normal kid hanging around the SS Red Fish? Or hanging around the shops here.

Eh, she must be new. ]

[honey boo boo skullkid emblica whatever you want to call yourself, you know Hange is always so happy to see you!]

Emblica!

[amarant]

[ SHE WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE HAPPY IF SHE WASN'T STILL FREAKING OUT OVER THE IDEAS SOMEONE PUT IN HER HEAD A LITTLE WHILE AGO BUT WHATEVER yes she is here and she has food!!! ]

How are you? It's nice to see you again.

[aberrant_type]

[WHO HURT YOU BABYDOLL??? HANGE WILL PUNCH THEM but right now she just looks happy to see Emblica, coming forward to clasp her shoulder.]

It's good to see you too! Is this the meal we promised?

[amarant]

[ JUST......someone reminding her that she should trust no one. Nnnnoooooo ooooooone. ]

Yes, I brought enough for you to share, if you wanted.

[ She doesn't noticeably react to the contact, either positively or negatively. Then again, it's probably because "on edge" is her default state. ]

[aberrant_type]

[She keeps it brief anyway, there to be engaged in if Emblica wants, and shrugged off also if that's what the girl prefers. She slips easily into treating Emblica like one of her young soldiers because of that baby face, and it doesn't hurt that Emblica seems like she needs guidance and support.

Though she does step back in a moment.]

I'd love to. Why don't we go to the galley?

[amarant]

[ She can't deny that it's nice... ]

All of the ships really do look the same, don't they.

[aberrant_type]

They certainly do. I suppose it makes sense... they must be mass produced. [She leads the way, though there's really no need. If the ships are the same, Emblica obviously knows the layout.]

How have you been?

[amarant]

Whoever produced them certainly is capable of much more than I've ever seen.

[ She still follows, like a little duckling. ]

I'm fine. ...what about you?

[aberrant_type]

I'm doing all right. I learned something about my crewman! He can talk after all. It seems he just doesn't like to.

[Oh look, they're in the galley in a jiffy.]

Take a seat.

[theboogieman]

[sooner rather than later, she's going to bump into Zhas. or, rather, she's going to turn a corner and find that Zhas is right there, leaning up against a wall and looking right at her. unlike her, he's been keeping his "face" on indoors lately.

hi. what're you doing on his ship, skullgirl?]

[amarant]

[ Oh wow hi there guy who kind of weirded her out last time they talked...

That's a little unnerving. ]

...that's right, you were here too.

[theboogieman]

[he... tilts his head, raising one of his skull-y eyebrows. which could mean anything, really, though he's hoping for an explanation.]

[amarant]

[ SHE'S CARRYING FOOD ISN'T THAT ENOUGH... ]

What do you want?

[theboogieman]

[he... seethes out a sigh. fine.]

What are you doing here.

[his voice is low and monotone and very gravelly.]

[amarant]

[ OH SHIT HE TALKS... ]

Visiting.

[ She has her eyes fixed on him, almost like she's keeping watch for any movements. Not that she's a particularly threatening presence, but she's already on edge, so. ]

[theboogieman]

[to her credit, Zhas still has this habit of holding kind of distressingly still. it's probably best to keep an eye on him. he holds his gaze for a moment, evaluating, before he finally turns his head away.]

Hange.

[that was... wait, was that supposed to be a question? or is he just saying her name for... some... reason?]

[amarant]

[ She isn't looking away, even when he does. ]

...yes.

placeholderrrr, until they're done heart to hearting in the other thread

[blindoptimism]

[Nunnally rounds a corner and is surprised to see Emblica! Huh, well this is a treat. She quickly turns her surprise to a smile and waves a little]

Emblica, what a pleasant surprise.

[amarant]

It's nice to see you.

[ Not entirely surprised, but it's still pleasant! ]

There's enough food for you to have some, as well.

[blindoptimism]

Did you come to see Hange?

[since she said "as well" she must be visiting someone else. And the chances of that someone else is Zhas is........................ slim]

[amarant]

Yes, I'd promised to make some food for her.

[ Yeahhhh, not him. ]

[blindoptimism]

[hm, she had seen that the two of them had spoken over the network, but since she considered them both friends, it seemed rude to pry. Aw, but this is wonderful. Nunnally smiles warmly]

I'm so glad to hear that. Hange is a very interesting person, isn't she?

[it's a testament to her tone that she can make that not sound like a back-handed insult. Because she means it as a compliment]

[amarant]

[ We're all one little group of friends here ;~; ]

She certainly is. But...she is nice.

[ Though it's not like she's particularly "normal," herself. Though she did go out without her other face on, so that's a step in the right direction. ]

[blindoptimism]

I'm glad to hear that you're both friends.

[she nods merrily. Ah, and then looks back at the food that Emblica is carrying]

What did you make?

[amarant]

It's nice that both of you have good crewmates in each other.

[ She looks a bit bashful for a moment. ]

Some of the meat and vegetables I picked up at the way station...it might not be great, but it's probably better than the protein.
