two sleeps before...take off
Who: Oliver & Cassie.
What: Can't sleep meme; Oliver runs into Cassie packing supplies for the Vagabond.
When: Midnight.
Where: Naboo.
Rating: TBD.
Contrary to popular belief (or at least as far as Cassie could imagine), the docking area was rarely if ever completely quiet. It didn't gain the noise and sound of Coruscant at all hours, but it was a cheerful, pleasant busyness that spoke of occupation and some complacency. Some droids ran about doing nocturnal check ups, as they had been programmed to do, while people were milling about double checking fastners and ship engines.
Cassie was too excited by the idea of having a ship (not mine, Liri's, she kept having to remind herself, but her mind shot back still!) to really get any sleep. She often found herself restless when she had nothing pressing to do; no goons to investigate, no criminals to smack over the head and slap a pair of cuffs on. Being stalked for years by slashers had her sleeping with one eye open constantly, but now she knew her inability to sleep was a good one, as much as something like that could be.
"OK, circuits...extra couplings...here...we need those accessible... Hmm, but then medical supplies?" She muttered to herself, doing what she could to make some sense of the supplies they'd purchased to furnish the ship. They'd want things close to hand, but not so much that they would get in the way. The Vagabond was a small ship to begin with; there was no need to overburden it. A minimalist at heart and someone who had always lived beneath the poverty line, Cassie knew something about making small spaces work, but now she knew she was just making more for herself to do lest she have to wander off and find something new.
"Maybe we can put the tonitran jerky here..."
