[ jade is just going to send this to the whole ship individually, likely just a few minutes following her arrival. might as well try to get started off on the right foot, yeah? ]
hi there! my name is jade harley, and it looks like i am going to be a backup pilot on this ship for a little while :p im still not entirely sure if the vanquish is going to be my final destination or not, but... i am glad to be here right now, and i really look forward to meeting all of you!!
[ HAHA wow that feels awkward, but. she's doing her best, okay. ]
[The change of ship had been a surprise, but she was okay with it. Friends on her new ship make it a little easier to acclimate properly, and there's not much difference between the two anyway. Glad to keep her personnel room, she set up camp there before going in search of the captain to say hello and that sort of thing.
Once she rules out the kitchen and cargo bay, she decides to try the bridge. Of course he'd be there. Zessica walks in quietly, not wanting to disturb him yet. After a little bit of sitting in the captain's chair while he's at the helm, she stands and waits behind his seat. Zessica leans down and peers around his shoulder.]
[ It took him a couple days of deliberation to decide if he wanted to do this. It was rather...outside his norm, going on casual dates like this. But...he couldn't deny, the date with Misha had been fun. More fun than he had expected. And it's not like this is hurting anyone, right? Right.]
Ah- Hello Clay! It's Allen!
[ At least he's not as too much a nervous wreck as when he contacted Misha. He's done this before, and honestly? Guys had always been less terrifying to talk to. ]
Ino...told me that you would be interested in a date. So I'm writing to see if you'd...still be interested.
[Right so Ino encouraged him to contact him. So...gonna try to make this cool and casual]
Thank you for the date the other night, Clay. I had a lot of fun!
Robin's doing very well! I think he's getting along well with the other fish! Though he doesn't seem to understand that even though he's green, he doesn't camouflage that well in seaweed thanks to his glowing.
I know this is super last-minute, but I just realized that one of my big religious holidays is tomorrow. Would you be up for having a meal on the Paisley? You can invite your crew too, if you think they'd be up for it. Just let me know so I've got enough fish cooked.
[After all was said and done, Allen was sitting on the floor of Ino's room- feeling worn out but content. Most of his clothes were still on- but his gloves, tie and coat laid strewn across the room. At the moment, he was carefully redoing his ponytail to fix any hair strands that got loose. ]
...How long do you think it'll be until Ino's back?
[Since really, he really rather not move for the next hour if he can help it]
So, uh.... I heard from a certain someone that you thought I was like the sun.
[Stefan should sound annoyed, or irritated, or even baffled - because honestly, he still is. But mostly, he sounds a little too happy to care.]
But more importantly, I figured that, uh, I should probably tell you. [Deep breath, Salvatore. Why is this so hard to get out? In the end, he settles for,] Did you know Alex loved me?
[It's been a number of days since the 14th had stopped flaring up, which was great. Allen was feeling normal again, and him and his friends were all calming down from that little scare.]
[However on the downside...they were still stuck on the Marsiva, with very little to do with their time. So, it was of little surprise that one particular dull afternoon when the televisions were taken up by movies Allen wasn't interested in, that he'd found himself in Clay's bed, relaxing after some time well spent- when he noticed something peculiar in passing.]
I asked Allen about you guys' sex life and he won't say a thing, he's so Victorian. You can't leave me hanging, man. I need the deets. I need to live vicariously through my only friends who are getting some.
You are invited to a Christmas Eve Eve gathering at the Iskaulit from 5 to 8 pm. Let’s make some new memories while trying to hold onto what was good about back home. If you agree to come, please: - Bring a White Elephant Present - Any food that you’d like to have that you think won’t be there - Agree to take any fighting outside If you do come, be aware that there will be punch, alcohol, jazz, and a ridiculous amount of salted foods will be served (we work with what we’ve got). Feel free to invite anyone you like who you think will appreciate the same and agree to abide by the same conditions.
Happy holidays,
Rogue
PS: Don't feel like you have to come if you've got plans with Allen. I just wanted to do something for those of us from Earth missing home.
