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

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.

[[OOC: Didn't want to clutter up the comm with three posts, but I really wanted to do all of them! So this is a general post and you can go ahead and tag whichever you want to, wherever you want to! There will be an individual tag for each one of them.]]

"Yes, it is good," Daja said softly. Then she laughed. "No, Sandry is not a blacksmith. She is a stitch witch, actually. But she will be living at the forge with me."

Ronnae tilted her head curiously, "A stitch witch? What's that?" she asked inquisitively. It sure sounded important, she wondered if that was some sort of Witch Doctor like the trolls over in Azeroth.

"She has thread magic," Daja explained. "Like how my magic is rooted in fire and metal, hers is rooted in thread and cloth."

"Oh! Cool! Like the magical tailors in Azeroth! They made some really powerful cloth items for the casters in my world. It's a really amazing trade, I bet she's really good~ Specially if she's as good at it as you Daja." she smiled happily, still remembering the amazing weapon she and Abi made for her.

"You will have to tell Sandry about these magical tailors sometime - she would love to hear about them," Daja said, laughing. "And yes, she is very good. She is the only mage known who can weave magic itself, in fact."

Ronnae smiled happily and nodded. "It'd be nice to meet her. I wouldn't mind talkin' about it with her. I don't talk much about my world." she admitted a bit embarrassed.

"So what brings ya around the city Daja?" she asked curiously.

"If you talk with Sandry about clothes, you'll be talking for a while," Daja said, amused. "She's always very curious about other fashions and weaving techniques. You could find yourself peppered with questions."

She gestured back the way she came, towards Religion Row. "I was visiting Winding Circle Temple - a place from my home," she explained. "I thought I might also take a walk while I was here."

"I wouldn't mind, tho I wish one of my sisters was here. They were much more versed on what was in style back home since they were more of the party goers and Kitsunara was one of the spell tailors I was talking about. I'm sure they'd have a blast exchanging patterns and spells!" Ronnae giggled a bit before looking towards the area that Daja pointed at.

"Well I was jus' headin' to the arcade, but I can accompany you over before I head to the club! I don't mind."

"Perhaps one day one of your sisters will awaken," Daja said encouragingly.

"I've never been to this 'arcade' - what is it like?" Daja asked, curious. "Perhaps I will join you there - I'm in no particular hurry at the moment."

Ronnae smiled appreciatively. She didn't speak of it, but her yearning for her family was sometimes unbearable, so the encouraging words meant a great deal to her.

"I've never been to it myself, tho I did visit the building but I only went to the dance floor. My friend Nokosi spent some time with the owner, Splicer. he said it's a lot of fun, so I wanted to check it out. Said it has a lot of video games and such." she smiled once again, bowing her head slightly, "I'd be honored to have your company Daja."

"Dance floor?" Daja said, a little confused. "It's a performance all? And...what are video games?"

Daja might have been on the ship for a while now, but she'd always gone to places like the media library for research, not to play around with the strange devices. Which did mean that she didn't have a clue about video games or anything like that at all.

"Well, the dance floor is more like the area where you go and have fun dancing to whatever music the DJ is playing at the moment. Tho I heard you can ask for requests, even if the owner isn't there."

"As for video games, they're pretty much like the movies you'd see in the media library, but instead of just watching, you control the character you choose. You go through a series of levels and defeat the obstacles in your way to get to your goal, be it rescuing the princess or defeating the bad guy or whatever else is in the story. Nokosi said they were loads of fun, and I remember Alex was very fond of them." Ronnae smiled, remembering her friend who had gotten podded not much long ago.

"Dee jay? So they are the performer?" Daja said, not quite getting the concept yet. "I did not know that there were musicians who had awakened from podsleep."

Daja listened, frowning slightly as she tried to picture what Ronnae described. "They are like moving pictures that you can control? How do you control them? It is magic?"

Ronnae was happy to explain of course~ It wasn't often she got to talk to the girls on the ship until recently.

"Well he's not really the musician, more like he chooses the songs. Kind of like a very advanced and technological music box" she added.

"Well it's more mechanical that magic. It's programming, like the kind of code that makes the computers on the ship work. You issue a command through the controller and the character follows. There's all types from what I was told. From adventure games that follow a storyline, to racing simulation games where you can ride an assortment of vehicles."

"Oh, like in the media library? They play recordings?" Daja said, finally clicking. That at least she had some familiarity with, although she did still find the idea of music that wasn't performed live rather strange.

"That sounds very complicated," she said. "Are they difficult to play?"

"Yup!" she said with a nod and a smile, "Pretty much like that. But I'm sure Splicer would go on to explain how much more complicated it is." she mused with a giggle.

"Some are, some are really simple, like move your character through a maze and avoid getting hit~ It'll be fun."

"It can't be that complicated just to pick a song," Daja remarked, shaking her head a little.

"You'll have to show me some then, perhaps," she smiled.

Ronnae smiled, "Sure! It's not too far, once we're there we can pick a game and go at it!" she said excitedly, pointing in the direction of the club.

"Lead the way then," Daja said, gripping her staff and setting off in the direction Ronnae had pointed.

It didn't take them long to reach it, even at a steady pace. Once there, Ronnae held the door open for Daja and the blasting electronic music coming from the first floor was clear as day.

"The arcade is on the third floor, the club in the first and the lounge on the second." she explained as they walked in.

Daja winched at the music - that sounded awful! - and held up a hand to cover her ear. "It's very...loud," she said. "Is the arcade quieter?"

Ronnae giggled, "It is, but it's fun." she replied, knowing all too well that a few of her family members would say the same.

"Yeah, it's quieter than this, mostly you'll hear the game's music, but not blaring like this." she pointed to the stairs and made her way up. On the way up she pointed at the much quieter lounge on the second floor with ambiance music and all the nice comfy couches and tables to relax or chat with friends.

Soon enough they reached the arcade, and the light sounds of the different games being on filled the room. It was subtle of course, compared to the blasting sounds of the club. The lights all over the dark room from the many games gave a cliched futuristic feel, specially with the neon decorations making it look like an 80's earth arcade with a futuristic twist.

"I'll take your word for it," Daja said dryly, before following Ronnae up the stairs. She certainly preferred the more quiet arcade! She looked around curiously, finding the lights and decorations and strange machines all very odd and unusual.

"This is much better," she said approvingly.

"It is~" Ronnae mused happily as she looked in wonder at all the games.

She quickly made her way up to a simple looking one with a set of colorful ghosts and a very round creature running from them.

"This one looks fun." Looking at the screen she began reading the 'story' and the controls of the game. "Seems simple enough. Run through the maze collecting the small pellets while avoiding the ghosts."

She turned happily to look at Daja, "Go on, give it a go!" she said cheerfully.

"Run through the maze?" Daja said, bemused. How could she do that? There was no maze here, and certainly not enough room for running. And ghosts? Pellets?

This was all very confusing...

"How...exactly do I do that?" she said, uncertain.
