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 ownThere 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 AWhile 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 servosThe 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-riiiideThe 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 rainbowArchery. 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!

[That was his go to at least. It just seemed kind of silly to have to take off your clothes to do exercise. He had seen some people even wear special outfits for it. Weird.]
Seems easier and more hygienic.
[Because yes he was already thinking about the horror that can occur here.]

( diana has at least found a towel, which she now wraps around herself. she may not mind her own nudity any more than he seems to, but that doesn't mean she doesn't prefer to be as clothed as her conversation partner, or at least comparatively clothed. )
It has different benefits than running, aside from physical fitness. I wouldn't say one is better than the other, really. ( diana likes both. ) You could try it, sometime.
no subject
Yeah. Not gonna happen.]
I never learned how, might just stick to running.
[Legit excuse.]
no subject
Suit yourself. ( she offers a small smile. ) There don't seem to be many opportunities to drown aboard this ship. ( so not knowing how to swim is probably safe enough. )
no subject
[He sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the water. It smelled funny and looked too clear than what he was use too.]
I'd still take rivers over this though.
no subject
( she glances at him, taking in the way his arms are crossed, the expression. that he doesn't like the pool is clear, the reasons for it less so. of course, diana can imagine some reasons. she herself prefers the sea to any other body of water. )
no subject
[Which in his world meant it was no good.]
And who knows when that last time these people actually drained and cleaned the damn thing.
[Just thinking about it makes him shudder, and he pulls his legs out of the water. Gross, what was he thinking.]
