Days, Nights, and Everything in Between [Multiple Character - Open]

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

The City was the area of the ship that was frequented the most. Not only did some of the crew members made their homes there. But a lot of the more pleasurable areas on the ship could be found there as well. It was mostly empty, a ghostly graveyard for many of the buildings from the many worlds that had gotten saved by you lovable ship, Stacy.

The sheer size of the City itself was impressive and yet it wasn't hard to run into someone exploring it, or bump into one of the occupied buildings... Three of it's denizens now found themselves going about their everyday lives on the ship that had become their current home.

Hunter's Pad, Arcade Room (Can tag before, during or after her arrival!)

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae found herself not wanting to work, or sleep, or eat... There was just something bothering her that wouldn't go away. So with a heavy sigh, she packed her backpack and left the Sun and Moon Twins, looking up at the house one more time before heading out.

Maybe she'd check out that place she went to last time with the dance club. She still hadn't gone to check out that game room that Nokosi kept talking about. He seemed so happy and excited about it, even asked her to teach him how to read faster so he could 'follow the game's story'. That was certainly surprising, but maybe it'd be a nice place to lose herself.

So at a steady pace, she made her way over to Hunter's Pad for a bit of game time.

On the way

[curiousredsoul]

It had been some time since she'd had the chance to speak with Ronnae, indeed, her projects and other activities had put themselves in the way. So when she spotted her green-skinned friend walking the streets below as she flew above Celena decided to descend and greet her.

It was but a small task for Celena to land carefully atop one of the nearby buildings, one of her large wings spreading to give a wave down to Ronnae, "Greetings, Ronnae!"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Celena!" Ronnae greeted cheerfully with a wave, it had indeed been a while since she had seen her. So she quickly made her way to the top of the building, jumping from window, to window with ease thanks to her agile training.

Once she reached the top she smiled up at her friend. "How have you been?"

[curiousredsoul]

Celena couldn't help but chuckle and watch on as her friend jumped her way up from window to window to the top of the building she had alighted on.

She smiled warmly down to her as she thought back over recent times, especially over her time with Aibghalien, "I have been quite well indeed, busy with projects and whatnot but no matter, how about yourself?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She smiled and nodded, "I saw your message over the comms. Looks like your department will be busy for a while. I finished some work recently and even tho I prolly should be doing more... I jus' didn't feel like it, so I was makin' my way over to that new club in the city, you know take a break and such."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dipped her head with a smile, "Indeed, those repair may take some time, as well as a few personal projects of mine I've been working on. Taking a break is always a good thing, no sense working nonstop, until you run yourself ragged," She chuckled softly at that, shaking her head.

"Would you mind if I joined you for a bit, I would be interested in looking into it myself,"

Daja had been vising Winding Circle Temple, but she had decided that today she would take a walk around the surrounding area. It was while on this walk that she found herself upriver, and spotted Ronnae.

"Ronnae," she called out, making her way over towards her, her staff in hand.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae paused and looked back, tilting her head for a moment before recognizing who the voice belonged to.

"Daja!" she called out with a smile as she turned to face her and walk towards her to meet up.

[fireforger]

"It's been too long since we last spoke," Daja said, returning the smile as she reached Ronnae. "I hope you have been well?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"It has! I've been alright considerin' everything that's been happening. Holdin' on and doin' my best yanno?" she smiles a bit timidly and moves one of her bangs behind her ear.

"How about yourself? How have you been?"

[fireforger]

Daja nodded, understanding. On this ship, everyone had to do their best.

"Very well, thank you," Daja said politely, before breaking out into a genuinely happy smile. "My sister woke up last pod-pop."

Before?

[kungfu-sexnun.livejournal.com]

There's an unusual breeze in the City today, and a bright orange shape sailing high up on it. Nima, taking advantage of the space to enjoy an afternoon on her glider, spots Ronnae and recognizes her as someone she's talked to before, but not enough. The air nomad swoops in and lands for a greeting.

"Hello my friend! Where are you going?"

Sounds great ^^

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae pauses, and it takes her a moment to recognize her as someone she met during the previous pod pop. A timid smile rises on her lips and she gives a small bow.

"Hello. I was jus' on my way to the new club. Wanted to try out the arcade on the third level since my friend Nokosi said it was lots of fun."

Re: Sounds great ^^

[kungfu-sexnun.livejournal.com]

Nima bows back politely. "What's an arcade? Can I join you?"

'Fun' is the magic word here.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Oh, ah well, it's a room with a bunch of electronic games. It's kind of like the movies in the media library, but you control what happens. And you're generally the main character."

She smiled shyly and nodded, "I don't see why not."

In the arcade

[morphitudinous]

As always, Billy had put in a long day at work. That had been followed up with some intense training at the hands of the Sensorium's simulated instructors, leaving him sore and exhausted. He stopped by the river to wipe his face before heading anywhere else. Home was his first thought, but the familiar Hunters' Pad caught his eye.

Given how badly things had wound up for Billy at this place the last time he'd attended, he was slightly wary about visiting again. If Ronnie was here, would he screw things up so badly again? Could they be honest and find a better outcome?

Maybe she wasn't even here. This time, he convinced himself of that and slowly approached the arcade room. It could be a nice change of pace, he thought, eying up the walls and walls of games.

Sure enough, though, two long red ponytails stood out. She was here, of course, and she seemed to be playing some kind of two player game. Would she mind someone joining in?

Billy decided to find out, sliding up to the control panel and pressing 'start' for a Player 2. It had been a while since he'd spent time on a game like this, but maybe he'd pick it up along the way. It couldn't be too difficult...right?

^3^

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Billy now found himself staring at a 'beat-em-up' style arcade game, with superheroes he might recognize as futuristic versions of the X-Men.

Ronnae looked besides her and blushed a bit, not having expected company. Specially not one so pleasant. "Hey sweetheart~ I d-din't know you'd be out of work already... I mean specially with all the paperwork you've gotten." which wasn't something she was too happy about and found it unfair that he had to do it all himself... Even when she tried to offer assistance, it wasn't her place to do so.

She edged closer and nuzzled onto his side as the next stage started.

"I missed you..." she said in a barely audible whisper.

[morphitudinous]

Billy responded with a gentle smile, happily tucking his head against hers and giving her a fleeting kiss in the space between rounds. He really had. His Ronnae was a much kinder sight to his eyes than the mountain of paperwork he'd come to loathe so well.

"I missed you too, beautiful," he whispered back, practicing for their round with a quick run of the controls. "But I might be able to spend more time with you soon. I'm building a system to semi-automate the paperwork. I won't have so many hours of signing off on things anymore."

And that frustration was perfect for starting to blow off steam with this game, leading him straight into kicking a box at the first enemy. It was hilariously ineffective.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae looked back at him curiously, "Do you think they'll approve? T-the higher ups I mean... I know not everyone is confident in a machine's ability to do the things you're doing..." and maybe they were being mean heads!

"I'd really like that... s-spending more time t-together I mean!" she replied hastily as she tried to avoid getting hit by the sentinels approaching her chosen character.

City Park! Anytime.

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

Splicer had just left the automated system on at his place and made his way towards the park. Miguel, Lil and Alice accompanied him this time, it had been their idea after all. They said they wanted some group time to assess their situation and Splicer's 'state of mind'.

Once at the park, Miguel floated and planted himself atop a branch from the tree Splicer had picked as his spot. Lil settled herself in a flower bed that was nearby while Alice nestled herself besides Splicer, who leaned against and slid down the tree until he was resting on the ground, lighting up a cigarette and crossing his legs at the ankle as he looked up to the 'sky'.

Anywhere in the City! Anytime!

"This place is a lot larger than I had anticipated..." her voice a whisper as she walked slowly down the abandoned streets of the City. Satella had decided she'd best explore the ship as thoroughly as she could, and she'd start with the so-called City.

A fitting name, if it wasn't for the eerie silence that took over the abandoned place. She expected the place to be filled with life, or if anything vehicles and robots of some sort. Wasn't this supposed to be the future?

She continued her walk at a relaxed pace, taking in all her surroundings. Maybe she'd encounter a familiar location. It shouldn't be hard considering she knew some of the buildings that were around, from earth. But she was hoping for something more from home...

[morganknight]

How about a familiar noise? In this case, what could only be the roar of a gas engine right before it shut off.

Where'd it come from? Around the corner, on a street, where Morgan was just now vaulting the door of the top-down Ferrari Infinity.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satellizer turned said corner and looked at the car and its possible owner. She didn't approach however, studying both from afar with an inquisitive gaze.

[morganknight]

"Damn," he said quite out loud, after a moment of staring at a nearby building. He shook his head, coming around to sit on the hood of the car for a moment with a thoughtful frown.

[aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com]

Satella moved closer, if anything to see what the problem was. Not that she knew anything about cars, or that she cared much for them or the predicament it was in. But she did come to the City to explore, and this was the first non-building sight she'd seen.
