Peter Pettigrew & OTA

Peter had been taking the midday shifts all week in the mess hall, so that meant he got to sleep in a little bit but still, after working all day, he was tired. He didn't know why he went to the lounge for the weekly informal get-together, especially seeing as he was doing his best to avoid Sirius and Remus, who had just arrived. He didn't know why he was avoiding them; he had no real reason to. Maybe it was just that it was nice to be here without them. And if he could have picked anyone he knew to show up, he would have wanted it to be James, and not Sirius or Remus.

He grumbled a little and shuffled over to the window with his drink, some kind of bright green liquid that he found that he liked despite its color. It tasted like summertime. He sat and leaned his chin against his hand as he watched the stars move by outside the window. He missed the sun. Or any sun. Sunlight. He didn't know. He knew that in Scotland and then in London, it was often dreary, but at least they had had some sunshine poking through. That's one of the things he missed most since showing up here in outer space.

Peter Pettigrew & Stiles Stilinski

Stiles was still trying to adjust to this new life he'd found himself living. Life in outer space was supposed to be fodder for B-rate movies and awesome cult classics. Not reality. Certainly not his reality.

But here he was. And in true Stiles fashion he'd already found himself in a restricted area, escorted out by security. The guy hadn't hauled him down the corridor by his ear, but it was a near thing. And now that he had been set loose, with a very stern warning, he felt like he had been yanked around by his ear.

He sighed and wondered if he shouldn't just go back to his room and avoid people for a while. But he'd told his security escort that he was looking for the gathering on Deck Five when he'd gotten lost, so at the gathering on Deck Five he was. He got himself a drink and settled near to where another guy was looking out the window.

"Hey," Stiles said in greeting. It could be ignored, or taken as an invitation for conversation. Stiles wouldn't mind either way.

	Peter looked up in surprise when someone greeted him. "Oh, uh, hullo," he said. He looked down into his neon green drink. "Are you new?" Admittedly, Peter hadn't paid much attention to the new arrivals except for Remus and Sirius. And he preferred to keep his head down and keep to himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Stiles nodded. "Been here a couple days." Not very long at all. Not long enough to feel entirely comfortable, or at ease. Still fresh enough to think it might be a dream, and he'd wake up back home soon.

After all he'd been through, with The Wild Hunt and everything, why wasn't he waking up? He had things to do. People to see. He needed to tell his dad and his friends how much he loved them. He wanted to go put flowers on his mother's grave.

Instead he was here. In space. And what felt like wasting time.

	Peter nodded and took a big gulp of his drink, even though he knew better by now. He coughed and sputtered a little, his cheeks flushed. "Sorry," he said, shaking his head. "Sorry," Peter said again. "Uh - I've been here for a month almost. It's not so bad, even if it isn't anything like where I'm from. Where are you from?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Jim Kirk & OTA

It was always nice to change out of his uniform for a few hours and relax, Jim thought, as he entered the Deck Five Lounge with a grin on his face. Here he could blend in, even though he figured that most everyone, even the newcomers, knew who he was by now. He just didn't always have the time to join everyone in their free time. Not only that but he wanted to give the crew, especially, a chance to unwind without glancing over their shoulders at their captain.

He grabbed a Bud Classic from the bar and then turned around to face the room, leaning casually against the bar with an arm resting on it as he sipped his beer.

Daisy had been aboard the Enterprise for a little over two weeks now and she still had moments where she couldn't quite believe it was real. She kept expecting to wake up and find herself back in the Playground facing a harsh uncertain future for her kind. It was real though, she was in space in the future and surrounded by what many might call heroes of Starfleet. It was probably the most bizarre situation she had ever found herself in. She was used to unusual though and she'd had enough time to mostly get over the shock of it all, mostly. In an effort to help acclimate herself more she'd made sure to stop by the Deck Five Lounge each Saturday to mingle and meet her fellow Travelers new and old and get to know the crew who joined them.

She'd been there for a while already, mostly watching people come and go when she noticed their Captain had graced them with his presence. In what might have been a potentially embarrassing move she walked over and smiled up at him. "Captain Kirk, we haven't officially met yet. I'm Daisy Johnson, pleasure to meet you," she said, swapping her own bottle of Bud from one hand to the other so she could offer hers in greeting.

Jim turned to watch as the young woman approached him, and a slow smile spread across his face. "Pleasure's all mine, Miss Johnson," he said, shaking her hand. "You've been here for a while, haven't you? Everything going all right with you? Finding your way around?"

He knew that for anyone who wasn't used to life on a starship, being on the Enterprise might be overwhelming or confusing. He hoped his crew was helping out anyone who needed anything.

Daisy felt her own smile grow slightly, internally freaking out just a little over the fact she was shaking Captain Kirk's hand. "I've been here about two weeks now. It's a lot to take in and I have moments where I feel monumentally stupid but I'm getting there."

There was no point denying that it was a little overwhelming being on the Enterprise. "It's definitely a steep learning curve here."

Jim & Mary

It took Mary a moment for her to recognize him without his uniform on. In jeans and a leather jacket, he blended in with all of the other off-duty crew members. There was a way that Jim Kirk held himself though. Even while off-duty it was clear that he was in charge.

Mary wasn't a woman who often went to bars. That wasn't to say that she didn't drink, just that bars weren't considered proper for a lady of her status. This bar seemed decidedly casual, much more casual than the dress she was wearing, which she had thought was incredibly casual. Why was everyone wearing laboring clothing like jeans at a social gathering? The dress itself had been a find. The machines called replicators on this ship were truly spectacular things, allowing her to make a dress that reminded her of the ones from home in mere minutes. Mind-blowing.

Many people stopped by to chat with Jim or just to say hello, so Mary held back for a moment, waiting until he was alone to approach him. She saw her opportunity when he was leaning against the bar, drinking a beer out of the bottle. (Not a very gentlemanly pose if one asked her.)

"Captain Kirk," Mary said, her posture straight as she held out her hand to him. "I am Lady Mary Crawley. We spoke on the PADD."

He turned his attention to the woman in front of him, lowering his bottle for a moment to greet her with a smile. "Lady Crawley," Jim said. "It's nice to meet you face to face." He couldn't help but give her a once over. He'd never seen a dress quite like hers before. "I trust you're getting more used to being several hundred years in the future, or at least as used to it as you can in only a few days."

Mary watched his eyes scan her form. She was used to men looking her over, so it didn't bother her in the least, even if he was only looking at her dress. The first thing she noticed about Jim was that his eyes were incredibly blue in person.

"I am, or as well as I can," she conceded. "Do people usually wear workmen's clothing to social events?"

It was a genuine question, not an insult, even though there was surprise in her tone.
