WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: January 26 afternoon-ish
WHERE: Cruise ships med-bay
WHAT: Keith wakes up after the battle and Lance breaks some bad news to him.
WARNINGS: description of battle and blood, dealing with loss of limb and phantom pain, morbid humor and drugged haziness and just feelings. ‘Survivor’s’ guilt going on too.

( You might feel a little off… )

It seems like Lian has decided that another story-time session in the library is overdue, and we'll be gathering tomorrow for it. Zelda, I'll hope you'll be able to join me tomorrow. Loki as well if he doesn't have anything else.

And since I mention it here, if anyone else would like to join with their children, I'd be happy to entertain.

Filter: Keith

I heard some interesting stories about the mices' visit with you the other day. I assume that's the effect those Earth drugs would have.

Wait, what the shit? What's this about homework?

What is it?



Not mint.


(ooc: matcha tea flavoured mousse, for characters familiar with the dessert buffet)

CHARLIE WEASLEY:

I've spent the last week thinking — about how fragile your lives are, and how short a time we have.

The only thing I've come up with is how fucking stupid it is that we're pretending we're just friends. We used to be friends, and I think given time we could be again, but I don't want to.

We used to argue about what would happen if Bigby came back. You said you always knew that if he showed up here, that I'd run to him. Maybe it was true then, but Bigby and I — we have an eternity in our world. You and I don't have that long, and I still love you.

I don't know if this is overstepping my bounds, but I've spent too much of my life as the ice queen that everyone knew in Fabletown and the Homelands. Maybe I should credit Bigby for opening my heart up to care about other people as more than just Fables to keep in line, but it's hard to just shut that down once it's opened. The kids taught me about real, unconditional love. Bigby taught me that sometimes there are people who come back.

So this is me. Coming back. Wanting to be back.

I am already sick of this lack of mobility and wishing for a bacta tank. I don't suppose you could find me interesting books at the library?

[Filter: Ahsoka]

I am finding that the walls in my cabin are not nearly interesting enough. I do not suppose you would be interested in joining me some afternoon for conversation?

Angelo has been going back and forth between Squall and Rukia. She makes a decent nurse dog. I just have to remind her not to jump on them until they're healed. I feel so useless-

[Filtered to Henry Fitzroy (tonight)]

Hey, so I could really use a distraction right now. How about we sit down and discuss that long-term alternative we mentioned before? If you know what your friend was doing, it might help me work out how to replicate it here, or at least get me started.

I have cinnamon rolls.

I think I might try out that desserts class today. I'm not much of a cook, but I need something to do right now.

I'm glad for some calm. I hope everyone is healing up well.

[Inuyasha]
Admit it, you like sleeping in the bed with me.

(voice to text)

I'm going to need someone to take over my patrolling shift [...] indefinitely.

And um [...] same thing with music classes in EPS.

[Voice to Text]

So. I guess I ought to explain myself. Maybe some of you already know, or maybe you caught a glimpse of what I was doing when the ship was attacked. I'm not as helpless as you might've initially thought. The short of it, I lost my eyesight when I was nine when these toxic chemicals splashed into my face. Another side effect was that my other senses were heightened - my hearing, my taste, my smell, my sense of touch. I can get around without seeing, but I still can't distinguish details or colors, and I'm not able to tell what's written down on a page or screen.

I'm not used to telling everybody about this, and the whole idea made me nervous. Sorry for misleading everybody.

I've been confined to a wheelchair before, so this isn't as bad, but I really hate having a broken leg.

Wanna order a bunch of room service and watch terrible chick flicks with me?

[Friends]

For the record, pretty sure I'm officially cursed.

[Private to Whoniverse Peeps including AUs + close friends]

Party tonight! Where at? Cabin 309 with River and I, though we may move it elsewhere, depending on how rowdy we get. Jack wouldn't want us moping around that he's gone. Besides, if he's been here twice before, then it's possible he'll return.

I miss playing guitar in front of people. Karaoke doesn't feel the same.

I also miss hacking into Tumbleweed's military records and reading everyone's intake information.







ooc: rick's brain is like a computer but i didn't get mod permission so he could be lying, so don't worry too much.

Who: Emmeline Vance & Credence Barebone
When: Morning of January 18th or thereabouts
Where: Breakfast on the ship!
What: Emmeline & Credence have their weekly lunch at breakfast instead.
Rating: Pretty general audiences, but some talk of anxiety, and vague illusions to not so great past family experiences.
Status: COMPLETE.



( It might be a lie to say that Credence Barebone was getting used to the ship, but he had settled a bit. )

KEITH (+ PIDGE ADDED LATER)

So - not exactly sure if there's a right time to tell you this, but I knocked a couple of teeth out of that shark's mouth. And then I kept them. You can have them, if you want. Or I can do something else with them.

I hope that we get to another stop soon because I really don't feel like school anymore. Shop is basically the only reason to go.

Who: Eliot Waugh & Kylo Ren
When: Before Atlantis, roughly January 12th
Where: Their room on the Cruise Ship
What: Eliot's been trying to find a way to reach his wife and daughter for months. He and Kylo discuss the attempts and how they'd want to handle either hypothetically showing up.
Warnings: Very low, but does contain spoilers for season 2 of the Magicians and will touch on arranged marriage & child abduction.
Status: COMPLETE.



( Would it help if they were here? )

I found a crummy old Muggle chess set in the library. Anyone fancy getting beat at chess?

[Filtered to Roy Harper]

Hey. So. Um...a friend of mine told me that you were here, and that you might not know me, but part of me hopes that you do. Though if you don't, that's okay, because back where I'm from, you're kind of mad at me right now. Though it's justified.

Sorry. I really suck at this.

Anyway, my name's Mia Dearden. I picked up the mantle of Speedy after you became Arsenal. I know you and Lian pretty well, and obviously, I know Ollie.

Sorry. I know I'm just babbling. Like I said, I really suck at this.

...Hi?

I really miss the open water. Swimming in the pool is not the same thing.


Edit

So when the ship slows down for the fishing, would anyone mind helping Bella and I to get on and off the boat so we could swim in the ocean for a little while. We might even be able to help your fishing a little?

AMERICA CHAVEZ:

Get in, loser, we're going drinking.

It's an emergency.

You know, I might have gotten used to eating space food, but nothing beats being able to eat earth food again. Especially pizza. And hamburgers. And french fries. Oh, also pancakes.
