Melon Dingo Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Stormseeker closed his eyes. He was a 7 foot tall lean man with wavy black hair and a baby blue suit and vest with white cloud-like streaks in it and bright white trim. There was a scarf that looped around his shoulders as if wearing pauldrons. One side went down his vest and out of sight while the other strangly stood up with a bend in it. The observant onlookers may notice that the suit design moved. Normally the white streaks slowly circled and swirled. Currently, he was very overstimulated. The alarms, the crew running from place to place, and the shouting about the pirates following us. Worst of all, he was almost out of breaths. As he thought this, his suit tinted a bit more red getting closer to purple. He needed to secure another Breath by tomorrow or he may end up burning his Divine Breath. Of course, closing his eyes stopped none of this. In fact, he didnt even need his eyes necessarily. He could feel all the people as they passed him. He kept walking, keeping track of those he passed. He walked the way he did every morning, not thinking too hard until he arrived. He opened his eyes looking at the door to the bridge. He was pretty comfortable on these ships. After all, he was the captain of one not too long ago. He occasionally tried to bond with Captain Amber Vulture over them both being leaders in the Scadrian military. And while it never really seemed to work at getting them close, Vulture did seem to find him funny so they must have been bonding. Stormseeker reached for the button to open the bridge door. Out of no where there was a screech as his scarf, shrieked and grabbed his arm pulling it away from the door. "What's the matter Scraf?" He said, petting the bend in the scarf as if it was a head. The Scarf didnt respond, but seemed to glare at him. "Well, obviously I can't take your breaths, and its not like theres a ton of Awakeners on this ship. But what are the chances our captain happens to be 4th Heightening? See? I keep telling you I have the boon of luck. Things just always seem to work out in th-" He pushed the button and immediately got pulled towards the void. Paintings that Stormseeker kept placing in the hallways blew past him out the viewport. He saw one bounce off a humanoid object in the distance. "There go all those breaths" he thinks. In this moment, he sees one of his favorite paintings fly past. One of a planet he visited once called Jupiter. It was beautiful chaos. He gave that painting to Vulture hoping to get some of those breaths one day. He lunged for the painting, but right at that moment Scraf wrapped itself around his wrists and pulled him back inside and closed the door. Dejected, he slumped against the wall. "Well Scraf, we're going to have to talk to the others about getting their breaths" ------------------------- Stormseeker stormed over to the mess hall where increasing numbers of crew were gathering. He grabbed a glass and utensil and tapped them together. Everyone continued on as normal. That makes sense it wasnt very loud. He stood on a table in the center of the room and tapped the glass again, flaring sound. As he did, the note became fuller, richer, and louder. As if many glasses were being tapped on at the same time. All in perfect harmony. "Friends and subjects," Stormseeker began, "as our captain is dead, I am in need of more breaths. And very sadly, this is quite an urgent need". He waited for a few seconds. There were no offers. "Alright then!" He continued, "If I don't get my breaths, I propose we throw..." Stormseeker pointed in a random direction away from where he was facing for dramatic effect, "You!" Then quickly looked at who he was talking about "Saffron Iguana/Arnold Johnson out of the hold! What do you have to say to that?" Spoiler Im taking some liberties with returned/awakening powers. Logic being this is space age so maybe powers are a little better understood/researched/developed?

Quartz Zebra Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Finch logs on to her awakened tablet and sends a message to the crew. Subject: Engineering Update: Safety First (and maybe Second) Hey everyone! Just a quick update from the Engine Room. I know some of you are getting a bit jumpy with all the "who's the killer" talk in the halls, but I’ve been busy making sure the ship doesn’t actually blow up while we're arguing. I found this really shiny brass coupler-thingy on the main manifold today. It looked way too heavy for that pipe, so I did a bit of fair trade! I swapped it out for my lucky copper button. Honestly, the engine sounds way more... fashionable now. With the spare parts, I’ve finished my latest invention: the Peeping-Ma-Bob! It’s got a little lens, some spindly legs I made from old screwdrivers, and a very reliable "go-that-way" sensor. I've sent it around the ship, so that nobody else dies. Unless the battery dies. In which case we might all die. Actually never mind. Don't mind me. I'm just going on again. You know, I've actually noticed that we have some weird people on this ship. I hope I'm not one of them. Oh! I also told it to grade all of y'alls shoes! If the little box bumps into you, don't kick it! It's just me checking to see if you're doing sneaky evil stuff or just regular boring person stuff. It might also stare at your shoes. Don't mind it. I figure if I stay in here and keep the lights on, maybe I won't be the one who'll die next. Stay safe and don't touch my doodads! — Finch Spoiler Just so it's clear, this is just for flavor. Edited January 4 by Quartz Zebra 1

Saffron Iguana Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Johnson glared at the dog hairs stuck to his uniform, and then glared again at the corridor he'd just walked down. Last, he turned and glared at Stormseeker. "Well, I propose we throw the canine out. Just look at this mess. Dog hair spreads like the plague, except it just keeps accumulating everywhere." Johnson rummaged in his pack for a second before revealing a vial of clear liquid. "Fortunately for everyone I have some solvent here. Liquifies just about anything organic." Johnson unsealed the vial, which gave off a distinctly caustic odor, then deftly pulled a dropper from a pocket and deposited some of the liquid onto the hair on his uniform. True to his word, the hairs vanished, though to most of the onlookers surprise, the uniform itself was undamaged. Johnson noticed some of the odd looks he was getting, glanced down at the drop on his clothes, and smiled. "Ah, yes. My uniform is special issue, meeting all Personal Protective Equipment standards for the Scadrian Fleet, the Scadrian Chemical Society, and the Scadrian Academy of Nuclear Engineering. It's good against anything but blunt force trauma." "Now, if you'll excuse me. I doubt you all want piranha fluid spread throughout the corridor, so I'll grab a vacuum to consolidate this mess and dispose of it in a more orderly manner." "Oh, and Isabel? (Sage Kangaroo) I saw you throwing chouta in the hallway. That's the messiest thing I've seen today, aside from the dog, so if we have to exile a crewmember, my vote is on you."

Magenta Albatross Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Rane moved across the deck. So many new faces, yet they felt so . . . familiar. Like he knew the voices but a veil disguised them. "There are saboteurs among us." he declared, to nobody in particular. "Shall we roll the dice?" He dropped the dice, watching as they tumbled and rolled. Beautiful. The randomness was beautiful. Men lived and died by the dice, fortunes won and lost, and it was just up to the whims of fate. Chaos. Beautiful chaos. "Salmon Meerkat, anything to say?"
Quartz Zebra Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Finch sends another message to the crew Subject: I think that we've got some weird shoes on this ship Hey y'all! I was just sittin' here tradin' a rusty bolt for a piece of peppermint gum I found in my pocket—engine’s breath is much fresher now, by the by—when I sent the Peeping-Ma-Bob for a little stroll down the hallway. If it finds anythin' besides dust bunnies and lost buttons, y'all will be the first to know. Well actually I'll know before you, consideren' that I have to see it before I can tell you. Wouln't it be weird if you knew before I knew but I still told you? That’d be some kind of spooky psychic magic, and I ain't traded for a crystal ball lately. But anyways, my Peeping-Ma-Bob went for a little stroll down the hallway. Wait, I already said that. Anyways it saw some weird lookin' shoes on Adonalnasium Storming Reborn and the little guy said they were suspicious. I don't know what the little guy's on, but that's what he said. Oh also the clackwidget in the engine is only running at 40% sparkle capacity :( Stay safe, and don't touch my doodads! — Finch Edited January 4 by Quartz Zebra

Mauve Crocodile Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Adonalsium Storming Reborn does not Like this Sudden Shift, this Sudden Stack, onto the Dragonfly. No, the Dragonfly has done Nothing to Earn Their Trust, but Three Votes, all In A Row? Let us Observe the Patterns. There have been Those Who Point Fingers Unprompted in Random Directions: Taupe Gecko (Hearth) on My Great Personage, Scarlet Octopus (Chiji) on Salmon Meerkat, Sunburst Toucan (Ophelia) on Sapphire Elephant, Ivory Dragonfly (Echo) on Scarlet Octopus, Indigo Weasel (Third) on Salmon Meerkat, and Saffron Iguana (Arnold) on Sage Kangaroo. People who, Without Any Further Reasoning, Join said Fingers, Which I Perceive as Opportunistic and Vulture-Like Behavior (Much like Our Departed Captain, Yes. She and I Unfortunately Did Not Get Along. The Gall of Trying to Bar Adolnasium Storming Reborn from the Bridge! She is Most Fortunate I Chose to Walk Away): Sage Kangaroo (Isabel), on Myself, then later the fourth vote on Dragonfly. Magenta Albatross (Rane), on Meerkat. Salmon Meerkat (Dugh), on Dragonfly, Although there Has been some Aspersions cast on Dragonfly, It was Octopus' Grievance, not Theirs. Violet Axolotl (Fletcher), on Kangaroo. Quartz Zebra (Finch), on Myself. There are Some of the Crew who yet Lurk without Speaking. Sapphire Elephant (Klin), Plum Rhinoceros (Art), Pearl Chameleon (Neugier), Oxblood Beagle (Levin), Opal Lion (Dusk), Onyx Flamingo (Frisk), and Mint Heron (Zense), a full Seven out of Our Twenty. Speak. Now I could Descend Into Pettiness and Point a Godly Finger at Gecko (Hearth) or Zebra (Finch) for their Impertinence in Questioning Adolnasium Storming Reborn, but I Restrain Myself to merely Ask: Art Thee Satisfied That I am Present and Speaking? Or Art Ye Stubborn Hounds who Refuse to Drop a Rotting Bone? No, The One who will Bear the Weight of my Vote shall be the Salmon'd Meerkat for their Role in Instigating the Pile. @Salmon Meerkat - Your Reasons for Voting Dragonfly, If You Please?
