ABOARD THE MOIRA Whether adjusting to space travel has been difficult or not, there is always something to be done. From working to leisure, the Moira offers a multitude of opportunities to get to know your crewmates a bit better. Exploration of the ship is highly encouraged, but as another planet grows closer to being docked, things start to get a little hectic. You'll notice a slight change in the artificial gravity as the Moira is pulled into a gravitational field; however, more noticeable changes can be found in the overall morale as you prepare to descend. ☄ on your own There are plenty of other communal areas on the ship to explore! Pick a place, and see where it takes you. ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. ) ☄ round 'em up The day begins normally. You check out the mess hall and report to your assigned job, and so far, nothing seems incredibly out of place. However, as the hours pass, you begin to notice something strange scurrying along wall edges and into open vents. For the most part, these rodents are harmless—in this stage. While they may get into the food supply in the Cargo Bay or terrorize those in the kitchen, they are not violent and appear to be skittish. However, once they've "matured" - the color of their tail will have changed from a light gray to a very dark purple, prompting them to enter a temporary stasis inside a cocoon - they aren't so cute anymore. These paklers are vicious, will bite if they're caught, and defend themselves with claws as well as the protrusions on their bodies. There is nothing to be done about them except capture them and eject them into space as they are considered a pest and very harmful to the crew and the ship. Once they run out of food, they will turn on each other as well as anything resembling a living creature. The captains provide the proper equipment, electric nets as well as tranquilizers, to assist with the capture of the paklers and their immediate removal from the Moira. ☄ what's yours is mine Something seems a bit off about the laundry delivery service these days, doesn't it? Has the Moira always had one of those? Whether you realize it immediately or not, something is very wrong about the clothes that have suddenly appeared in your wardrobe. They are either much too big or far too small, and as far as you can tell, there seems to be no happy medium in all of this. Will you Dress To Impress in your new uniforms? Will you swap with someone who might be a similar size regardless of the fact their uniform colors are not the same as your own? Or will you simply walk naked through the halls of the ship, carefree and bare to the rest of your crewmates? ☄ n'sync While exploring the ship, first down one hall and then another, you come across a strange door you've never seen before. When you pull it open, you'll find someone, a crew member, standing on the other side, hand outstretched as if they've just opened that door from the opposite side. Every move you make, they mirror, and if they shift to the left or right, you also shift left or right. Absolutely everything the both of you do is the same except for the words that come out of your mouth; somehow, you still manage to maintain the ability to talk without mimicking your partner. You're unable to completely control your movements again until someone says "in sync". Good luck figuring out the magic words, and if you decide to question the captains (or anyone else) about it, they won't have any idea what it is you're talking about.

So suave, so dreamy!

Raz is overcome with excitement and confusion in equal measure. His comfort buckles under his enthusiasm, and a tangling sensation spreads across his nose and cheeks. Huh, weird. Seeing a familiar face was one thing, but if he couldn't parse things out with Milla or Sasha, there was no one he would rather tackle this with than Lili.

Not that he would let her know that.

"Huh? Whatt're you talking about?" His circles become petulantly deliberate, and he starts kicking his feet out. He purses his lips mock seriously and puts his fists on his hips. "I dunno what you mean." and makes another circuit. "Doing what? Im just takin' in the sights." His tone is stoically nonchalant, and he pointedly stares through the force field, making another circuit. "There's some real nice Space over there." He gestures vaguely outside and makes another circuit.

Lili sweeps this doofus off of his feet

The spinning makes the redhead frown back, eyes tracking his movements before she closed her eyes. Watching Raz was making her dizzy. "You can take it in without spinning."

After shaking off the vague dizziness, she steps forward to try and grab him by the back of his shirt. If she can grab him, she'll likely try to still him. "There is nice space everywhere, you dweeb." Maybe a hint of a smile is threatening to rise to the surface, though it is unlikely she'll admit it.

Oooh, Miss Zanotto, ooh!

“Yeah, but spinning puts it all in perspuhk--!” Wearing a turtleneck could be cozy at most times, but if someone were to grab the back of your shirt, usually it just gags you. He has a retort ready to go (honest!) but the implication of that last statement slowly starts to sink in. Was this ‘nice space’? Was she…. Nah, he was probably reading too much into it. But there was the kiss. And it WAS pretty awesome. Well… he only had the one, and not a whole lot of reference outside of that, but it was amazing. Like, movie level smooching. Did she think so too? No. He had to be reading too much into it. But there was the quirk at the corner of her mouth she always got. Oh, man…. girls were complicated. And he was a literal mind reader. Wait! Lili was way more clairvoyant than he was!

“Lili! Do you…” He didn’t really know how to broach the topic. If she was here, she was well aware by this point. Well, there’s no other way about it than to come right out and say it.

“D’you hear them too?” He hopes beyond hope that the whispers are not as malicious as he’s making them out to be.
