I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO COMMENT TO THIS ALL DAY!!!!
okay hi i'm rian!! my cdj is at miyazaki and u can feel free to add me :> i have three right now (another incoming). briefly about them: beth bristol/imperatora, kamikaze captain and robot whose only friends are taciturn jerks and dogs; jim wu/fidra, whiskey sour gunner and basically a grown up version of bambi who is deeply emotionally incompetent but at least he's good at his job; and sahra bhatt/geminid, tequila sunrise pilot and resident boundary-ignorant overly friendly boy ogler.
RAINE: okay, so obviously the most direct connection here is with sahra, as they're on the same ship! tbh i think sahra LOVES HER and views her straight up as both the older sister she never had and her actual real life role model. she just thinks raine is so effortlessly cool and in control of her shit and also a complete babe at almost 50?? CAN THIS BE HER LIFE??? raine is a little rougher around the edges than she is but she don't mind. as for my other two: bristol is not that old but she's definitely one of the older members in the RAC (and tbh comes off like a 50 year old man most of the time), and tends to roll with the captains/older people. they should be friends just because how many older women are there in the RAC anyway. except bristol is so weird and robotic, it'll be like the warrant's very own odd couple. jim is terrified of her.
SOLOMON: i don't have anyone on the bahama mama OR the b52, unfortunately ;;; BUT tbh sahra is...a little in love with him...beefy dudes who look like/can kill you who are actually really even-tempered are her weakness. pls ask anyone on the tequila re: justin/salzig, ok. she probably flirts with him MERCILESSLY but it's all pretty harmless, she is not that aggressive about it. jim thinks he's SO COOL and has a vaguely similar background, in that he grew up incredibly poor, is a great fighter, and likes to get into people's business. unlike solomon, he's terrible at it. he has zero chill about anything and desperately needs an older male presence in his life who isn't any of the older men on his ship because they are TERRIBLE INFLUENCES. bristol—tbh she probably forgets he exists from time to time. i'm so sorry, she's ridiculous, nice people are just 100% not on her radar alsjd;alk
SORRY THIS IS SO LONG, WOW, WELCOME TO THE GAME ;;;
