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. ) C R O M I A While exhibits or museums exist to commemorate people or objects, planets like this are designed as a memoriam for certain eras across the universe. Welcome to Cromia—a one-of-a-kind place set in medieval times. Sort of. Most technology on Cromia isn’t particularly advanced, and the fashion leaves little to be desired. However, one thing is very noticeable about this planet once you decide to explore: there are no organic people anywhere to be found. Cromia is inhabited by a race of intelligent, humanoid robots who tend to and care for the environment as well as live peacefully with one another. Yet, some have been programmed to show a certain disdain for those who are, in some way, living, and their hostility ranges between hurling insults and vegetables to reporting trespassers to the authorities. Besides that, all seems well and prosperous on Cromia. ☄ the emperor’s new servos The Royal Family of Cromia has extended an invitation to join them for festivities, food, and drink beginning when the first sun sets. This night is a way to relax and perhaps romance that special someone in your life with a little song and dance. For those who sample certain drinks, they might find themselves doing just that without being able to help themselves. Or perhaps that delicious wine you've heard so much about is actually a very oily concoction meant for the robots of Cromia. For others, a little cheese or venison might instill the need for fisticuffs. Could the desserts hold the same sort of enchantment? Do you dare to find out? ☄ catch-a-riiiide The fastest way to get around is via carriage in the city, and each city is pulled by a large insectoid cyborg. Their handlers assure you they’re quite tame, especially since their silly organic minds have been implanted with a control chip. They’ll take you to whatever destination you program in without a hiccup! What could go wrong? Except on the way, that ever-so-important control chip happens to malfunction. Your once docile bug-stallion is now running amok down the streets. Do you jump out before you meet a sticky end? Or do you take control and force it to stop? Either way, you aren’t likely to be getting your deposit back from this. ☄ taste the rainbow Archery. Bugback riding. Jousting. These are the typical leisure activities suiting the time period you now find yourself in, which is what you might assume when you see the banners denoting a competition. Anyone can enter. Anyone can win the prizes. When you ask what sport you’ll have to play, they just say one word: skittles. Similar to bowling, this sport is played on a long, flattened field, and the point of it is to use the wooden ball to knock over the "skittles" that are set up in increasingly complex patterns for each round. These skittles are also made of wood, exactly ten feet high each, and the balls used vary from the size of a golf ball to a canon ball (dealer’s choice on ball size). People are usually split into teams, but for the sake of the competition, everyone plays alone. Whoever gets the most points moves forward in the competition, and hope that there are no accidents mid-throw!

( diana gives a brief nod of acknowledgement and thanks while setting down her food on the table, sitting down opposite lois a moment later. she doesn't recognise the other woman; they'll only meet after the battle is over, and diana may have just witnessed a fellow warrior fall, but the aftermath hasn't occurred yet. )

Thank you.

( she takes one bite, a small one, of her meal, before leaning in. her purpose in the mess hall hadn't been food, primarily. ) I'm new. What can you tell me about this ship?

ooph sorry for the delay

[flakjackets]

Not much, at least not yet. I'm working on it.

[ She sounds serious in her endeavor, though. Almost a little pissed off that she doesn't have more to offer. ]

At least, nothing you probably haven't already gleaned from the network. The docks are strange, but people tend to be pretty willing to share for the most part. I guess locked doors should stay locked, if there's any advice I can give.

[ She moves Clark's tablet a little further aside, leaning in as well - tone slightly conspiratorial. ] Do you have any specific questions? I might actually be able to answer.

[tieres]

Are you speaking from experience? About the locked doors.

( if there is a story there, diana would like to hear it. she has entered her fair share of locked rooms in her time. at times, she's even stolen or borrowed things that someone might argue she shouldn't have taken.

where possible, she's always given them back. )

[flakjackets]

No, I haven't been here long enough to have that pleasure. Although digging back through some of the network announcements, there was a distress call last month or so due to something getting out from behind one of those doors.

[ A beat. ]

I have a feeling, if you ask enough people the stories will come out of the woodwork. People seem nice enough to share when asked so far.

[tieres]

What was it?

( she hasn't had the time to sit down and look through the network yet, or she would have had the time, had she not chosen to seek out answers this way instead, first: by talking to people in person. it isn't as fast, but it is more reliable. )

Good to know.

[flakjackets]

I'm not sure, I think they called it Palantino? Hold on, let me pull it back up.

[ Sorry, she hasn't quite figured out the best way to bookmark things and make her own set of notes. There's a little 'aha' moment when she finally finds what she was looking for, the record from March 11th. She adjusts her wrist slightly, trying to share what's on her MID, but she's only so flexible. ]

I could just send it to you Miss...?
