    i don't have a feel for him at all, do you think you could maybe quote the post here and edit his lines how you would've done them? it'd help me write him.

    yeah, no worries!


    "Sal?"

    "Commander. You're awake finally?"

    "Sal, did I hatesnog the Captain?"

    "Yes."

    "Oh god."

    "Yes. Very unfortunate. But, good news, your horn is -- no touching." He grabs your wrist to stop you, but then he fetches a mirror to show you the retaining band on your horn.​

    ok also i suspect that erskin has quietly filed this under Reasons 200-203 Why Kadros Can Get Fucked. erskin probably thinks he's forgotten more about wildcraft than bel ever managed to learn. a crashed-shuttle episode with the two of them could be fun, though god knows how we'd manage to arrange that.

    seems unlikely based on personalities so far, but they could upset each other i suppose. i don't think i wanna try and set it up beforehand.

    i think there's houseparties and picnic-parties in the recreational fields/gardens, but yeah no established bars yet.

    murphy's wistfulness about 'teal cuties' = he's going to convince his ex-matesprit onamie to come help him run the bar, and she's going to bring a small dance troupe. she always did want to dance without swords in her hands for once. there can be fun background soap opera about them, they're still stupid for each other but they split up because they were interested in different brances of service, and then murfey washed out of officer school so he might've gone with her anyway, and they kind of blame each other a little bit.

    onamie and lainey will create a mischief singularity if they are allowed to become friends btw.

    how small is small, for a dance troupe? five? ten? would they do plays? because some kind of theater would probably be fun. obviously this is all pretend so we can say things will be as busy as we like, but some part of me is still fretting about logistics, like, space vs resources vs personell vs interest— despite the sunslammer seeming to be a slack party boat, it strikes me that a skeleton crew would be hells of busy all the time, with very staggered off-hours. so i suppose the bulk of the entertainment would be geared towards docked crews, who would have large compliments of off-duty fighting-types that weren't needed for loading and repairs. bel's proposing to make the sunslammer less of like... a gas station / mechanic's shop and more of an actual shore leave kind of place, right?

    inquiring minds want to know how good bel is at this. also how upset he'd be if erskin turned out to be good at this.

    bel thinks he's good. he can stay on for the whole cycle. he has very strong thighs.

    if erskin could make it look easy, he would be both turned on and jealous.

    bel's basically proposing to build a little casino type tourist trap next door to the gas station/mechanic's shop so the visiting crews will get out from underfoot and also spend money. the unsavory types he's inviting have their own resources, and what he's offering is space and access to bored crews, in exchange for rent and some backroom deals to cover the sunslammer's supply shortfalls.

    i'm pretty vague on onamie, i'm basing her on seebs's character in our dtd game, who is a bird princess assassin. i'm thinking onamie is a nepeta type -- small, cute, and deadly. visually... troll ellie goulding? she's not in disgrace with the fleet like some of bel's other friends, but she likes to go where the action is. maybe she's an undercover type who can ignore the small fry but step up if any serious criminal activity goes down. as for her dance troupe or band or whatever, i'm totally open. five? not more than five, i think.

    Having the run of a big carrier would be a lot nicer than toodling around in some cramped little rover. They can hitch rides on and off docked ships to get to their targets-- or just sit tight and polish off whoever the higher-ups send their way.

    i was just heading down that same path of thought myself. ok i think we've got 3 girls and 2 boys, all pretty and deadly. reckon i'll take cavino, fionne, and ankala from bel's old flarping team... need one more lady. suggest me a spylady?

    edit: or maybe only 4 of them are performers, and they drag khorne along as their roadie.

    ok so, SHOULD erskin and murfey Do It. i'm down for writing that, and erskin is probably down for blowing off steam with a guy outside the chain of command, but somehow it's like 'wait murfey belongs to a different roleplay! is this weird????'

    also i am imagining bel being like like 'ok bad news is i kissed the captain. good news is he went and fucked my friend directly afterwards. wait— i think i have the bad and good news backwards. or do i. shit.' and snickering to myself, i am the queen of jerkbutts
