Blessed Blade Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 OOC: I finally understand the computer comment, and it's even funnier now. xD Also, gotta love my timing, huh? =P -==IC: Anna==- "Nice to meet you, Ashley!" Anna said with a friendly smile to the catgirl, noticing her mood to have changed a lot from when Anna approached; and then turned her head back to Ojeda, as she nodded at the colonel. "Sounds like a plan to me!" Anna said with a wide smile, though was confused at both Can and Ojeda's curious comments, but didn't question them, and instead looked over at Ashley. "Do you want to swim as well?" Anna asked, as she seemed like she wished to have a friend, and Anna didn't want to just leave her alone if Ashley wished to talk instead.

Snelly Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 IC: Ashley "Well...me and pools don't get along very well...it's not fun when I get water in my ears." Ashley flicked her ears as she said this. "I've always kind of kept my distance from large bodies of water to be honest."

Blessed Blade Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 -==IC: Anna==- Anna nodded at that. "That makes sense." Anna said, as she smiled. "I can see why you wouldn't want to swim, then." Anna said with a friendly chuckle, as she paused. "Tell you what, I'll go for a quick swim, and be right back so we can talk more!" Anna said cheerfully, as she started to head toward the pool, not wanting to waste time, and jumped in. However, once she was in mid-air, the thing that Anna had really understood about Ashley's explanation finally occurred to her as well... Anna really, really, really did not like water.

Blessed Blade Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 -==IC: Anna==- "N-no, not really!!!" Anna said, as she was indeed panicking slightly, kicking out rapidly in random directions to try and not be in water. Anna wasn't having much luck, as in her blind panic, she was trying to reach the edge of the pool, but wasn't having much luck at all, as all she could really think about was her panic. No no no no why did I do this?! Anna thought, fearing that she'd sink at any moment and... She didn't want to think about what would happen after that, and simply closed her eyes and struggled more.

Snelly Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 IC: Ashley Ashley ran toward the pool without hesitation, as much as she hated swimming she knew how to do it.

"I'm sorry..." Anna mumbled softly, as she tried to feebly kick off and at least make the trip to where the beach was easier, so that they both could get out of the water quickly.

Snelly Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) IC: Ashley "It's fine...getting wet is no biggie." The reality of it was Ashley was trying to get out of the water as fast as possible, she hated it. It was one of the downsides to having cat instincts. Once they reached the shore and back on land Ashley let go of Anna and then shook herself to get as much water off of her as possible. Thankfully it didn't seem like she had any water in her ears, her tail was soaked though, she ran her hands through it to squeeze as much water as she could from the fur.

"Again, I'm so sorry, I should have thought that through more..." Anna said awkwardly to Ashley, as she smiled slightly, her face seeming a mix of emotions at that moment. "I kinda feel the same as you, really, except... mine's more a fear." Anna admitted, as she scratched her head. "I always want to know what it's like to be able to just swim normally without freaking out; but, every time I try, well, you saw what happened..." Anna said, brushing her currently loose hair behind her right ear.

Ashley walked back to the lounge chair, grabbing her towel as she sat down and dried herself with it before turning toward Anna. "It's fine really, everyone has fears they need to deal with." Ashley wrapped the towel around herself once she was dry and leaned back on the lounge chair. So soft and fluffy!

Atton Rand Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 IC: Nicole boarded the Kestrel with a mix of different feelings. She felt ashamed of her actions yet she also felt relief at being able to get away from the crowded pool hall. It was strange, she'd voiced her opposition to being transferred so frequently and yet now that she would likely be sent back to Earth she felt uncertain, almost as if part of her wanted to stay. All she could feel was confusion. She wandered the mostly-empty halls of the ship. Here and there were members of the skeleton crew, working on repairs, refueling, resupplying, and anything else to get the ship ready for its departure. She ignored most of them and made her way to the lift, taking it up to the third level. As the doors opened, Nicole found herself in the crew's quarters, specifically the mess hall. Since the place was empty, Nicole took a moment to look through the supply of drinks. Failing to find a bottle of Heineken as she hoped, she stepped into the bunk area. The place was empty, something that she found a relief, if only because it meant that it would not be crowded and there would be nobody she could cause harm to. She sat down on one bed, near a large window. Nicole reached into her shirt, pulling out that distinct locket. She opened it and stared. She wondered, had things been different, perhaps if Irina had lived, where they might be now. Finally, Nicole closed the locket and lay down on the bed, her mind filled with pain and guilt. A few tears poured from her eyes, and quietly she cried herself to sleep. OOC: Just to clarify, the Kestrel is actually inside the Brasillia right? As opposed to being attached to the latter's outer hull with an airlock allowing passage between both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever conclusion he came to, went unannounced.His features did not shift; his eyes remained flat and emotionless as ever."I am Wulf Kharon, yes. And if jerky is palatable to your kind, by all means have some..."Still sitting comfortably on the coarse artificial sand, the big male human held up the three-pound package of meat and waved it slightly in the air, within easy reach of the big male Rockman.

Advent Child Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 IC: Geist, as usual, watched. It was something he had become all too content doing, though he was finding it was truly beginning to become beneficial. The various personalities assembled on the ship were truly something to take in, and the Engi was swiftly becoming comfortable with the idea of making acquaintances with them, if only to get a closer examination of how their minds worked.

Atton Rand Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) IC: Nicole was back on the beach.Her long hair was let down and flowed swiftly in the cool breeze. "Quite the view isn't it?" Nicole turned to see Irina, her raven hair blowing slightly in her face. Nicole smiled, a sense of happiness and relaxation coming over her. She reached out and took Irina's hand. However, her fist clenched over nothing but air. When she looked back, Irina was gone. Nicole looked around, desperate to find her friend, but there was no sign of her. Finally, she found Irina, who lay in the sand, a massive hole through her chest. "Nicole," she said. "It's alright," Nicole replied. "We're going to be fine." She reached out toward Irina, but she could not touch the woman. Some physical barrier seemed to keep her from touching Irina. "Help me," Irina said, weakly and in pain. Nicole could only cry as she desperately tried to reach for her friend, constantly blocked by the invisible barrier. Nicole opened her eyes. The locket still lay in full view a few inches from her face. She sat up in her bunk. She pulled up her legs, sitting in a fetal position. There was still nobody else around, she had no idea how much time had passed. OOC: I guess if anyone can get to the Kestrel, Nicole is open to interaction, though the only one I immediately see being able to do that is Humva.

Krayzikk Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 IC: "She really shouldn't be on the ship, any ship, just yet." The Weapons Officer replied, unusually series as he studied those still on the sand. His eyes had narrowed slightly at the doctor's outburst, and widened with Ashley's reaction. He had continued observing in silence through the subsequent events, making careful note of all the interactions that followed from that moment. "She's unstable. I probably would be too, if I'd been on Gaia. Earth was bad enough." He paused, quickly moving on from the previous comment as if he'd not intended to voice it. "Nevertheless, she's hazardous. I think the Colonel will be getting a transfer request very soon."
