(no subject)

Leaning back in his chair, Apollo stretches while giving out a loud yawn. He'd holed himself up in the Sensoriums, leaving the entrance open in case someone really wanted to use them, for a few hours. A large stack of paper was in front of him, and the table and floor around him was littered with various bits of crumpled... No, folded paper. Paper crabs, paper cranes, paper frogs, paper bugs... He's obviously been busy. In his hand, held between two fingers, is the start of another folded paper project.

He looks at the paper and sets it down, leaning over the back of his chair and letting his arms hang loosely for a bit. He's been at this for too long, but somehow the whole 'wait for a crewmember to stop by the most popular part of the ship for a bit of conversation' plan failed. "Maybe I should have tried the cafeteria?"

What was this? Someone alone and in need of human interaction? Never fear, Sofia was here!

"Oh, you're really good." Sofia said, not bothering to ask permission before strolling into the room. "Can you teach me?"

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He looks at her, almost upside down from leaning so far back, before grinning and sitting up. "Thanks. I get a lot of practice." He gestures, another chair, free from origami clutter, appears. "Sit down, sit down. Anything to pass the time sounds good to me."

[ayasofia.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Sofia took a seat. "My name is Sofia."

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He nods, reaching across the table. "Apollo. Pleased to meet you, Sofia."

Apollo holds up a sheet of paper. "Have you ever tried origami before? Or even making a paper airplane?" It would help to have some basis, at least.

"The cafeteria? Good God, man, why would you want to be around that so called 'food' for anything but meals?" Rei had been passing by and happened to overhear that, and just walked on into the room without knocking. He'd really come by the sensoriums to find a room of his own to mess around in for a while. He'd been to Kaylee's nice little party in the sensoriums a while back, but had yet to make anything for himself there. But he certainly wanted to try them out - they were so very Star Trek, and that was just cool.

He snorts and shakes his head. "I count myself lucky that I don't need to eat whenever I get a good look at whatever's on the menu." He sits up straight and turns his chair around, to face Rei. "What's on for today, anyway? Sticky slop, or slightly runny slop?"

[watchwith3hands.livejournal.com]

"Don't need to eat? Ch, lucky jerk," Rei said with a mock pout. "The rest of us needing-to-eat people are in for an extra treat today - gooey slop, oh yeah. Tasty."

He smiled and held out a hand. "I don't think we've met. Name's Rei."

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He laughs out loud. "Oh, you can't complain about the gooey slop, at least it has some kind of texture." He pauses, staring off for a moment. He taps his lower lip. "...Well. Depends on the goo, I guess."

He stands and takes Rei's hand, giving it a friendly shake. His hand is warm, unnaturally so. "Apollo. Pleased to meet you, Rei. That's Japanese, isn't it?"

"I try to pretend the cafeteria doesn't exist, mostly," Sheik said dryly, poking his head into the room. "I eat in here, whenever possible."

He approached curiously, noticing the paper creations in front of him. Paper folding wasn't an uncommon past time in Hyrule - some were quite familiar, too. "Those are good."

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" He straightens and turns to check Sheik out, raising his eyebrows. "Does this place make food or something?"

He glances at the paper littering the table and floor and gives a little nod. "Thanks. I get a lot of practice."

[redeyes_andblue]

"It does," he nodded, and suddenly there was a cup of tea in his hands. "Unfortunately, it is actually the slop, it just doesn't look, taste, or feel like it."

For which he was profoundly grateful - especially when it came to the texture.

He settled down, still holding his cup in one hand, picking up a paper frog in the other. "I would be quite out of practise, I think," Sheik said with a quick smile, "I haven't done this for a while. May I?"

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

"Oh, wow." He looks down at it, then grins up at Sheik. "Makes you wonder why someone hasn't adapted Sensorium tech into the cafeteria. It'd probably bring up everyone's morale, at least."

Apollo waves a hand. "Go ahead. I was kind of hoping for someone to talk to anyway, this is as good a subject as any."

Nanoha was on her way to the Sensoriums for her usual training, but she stopped when she saw the man - or more specifically, his origami. "Oh, origami!" Nanoha beamed at him. "I haven't seen good origami in ages!"

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He laughs at her reaction and sits up, holding out a sheet of paper with a friendly smile. "Do you want to give it a try? It gets kind of boring doing it by yourself."

[starlightace]

"Sure!" she smiled, flitting over to take the paper from him. "I haven't folded origami since I was a girl, but I'm pretty sure it's like riding a bike, right?"

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He raps on the table and another chair appears, free of clutter. "It's all muscle memory, I guess. Give it your best."

[feelnothinatall.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you should have," Ahava agreed from the doorway. "Then we might have had the chance to meet sooner."

She wandered into the room further, glancing at the paper projects but choosing not to comment, for the moment anyway. "Unless there was some other reason you thought you should try the cafeteria instead?"

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

He gives her a lopsided little grin and shrugs. "In the end, we met anyway. So does it really matter?"

Apollo sits up straight, lacing his fingers behind his head. "Well, I figured that most of the crew would need to eat. It just made sense, you know?"

[feelnothinatall.livejournal.com]

She had to laugh at that. "I guess not," she said. Tilting her head curiously, she picked up one of the little paper creations and eyed it before looking back at the unusual man.

"So, do you have a name at all? Or do I get to invent one?"

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

"You can't make these in the cafeteria. Can't even make faces in the goo."

Lyle has approached on soft feet, and he's examining the folded paper.

"Shame these aren't real. I'd have liked one of the little frogs."

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

"True." He holds up a finger. Or, rather, holds one down, he's holding it next to his face. "Unless it's the particularly gooey kind of goo. Sometimes it keeps its cohesion."

Apollo glances at the origami and sits up straight. "Well, I didn't see any paper on-ship. I'd give it to you if you'd asked, though." Maybe if he asked Angie for some really thin metal? Naah.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

"It's a bit too runny. Though apparently we each get our own goo. Maybe yours is more solid."

Lyle is a bit amused by Apollo's posture. His pose doesn't exactly match his imposing build.

"I can't imagine why they'd have paper on board. I'm guessing there's a lot of paper where you're from?"

He's picking up the frog and examining it.

"You have very pretty hobbies," says a voice at the door, teasing.

[agyieus.livejournal.com]

"I'm the best there is at what I do." He grins and holds up a crane. "And what I do is so terribly pretty."

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

Kon snorts and steps into the room.

"I never had the patience for that kinda stuff." He pauses. "Or drawing. Or anything that really takes sitting down for any length of time."
