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!

Comments

She tries

[ninjabike]

Not a problem, crewmates have to stick up for crewmates after all.

[She absently flicks the fruit off her hand and away from them. Eew she's going to have to rinse out her finger joints later now.]

Maybe they don't like the uniforms?

[stepfordsmiles]

[ the comment earns a laugh, and keeler glances down at himself, plucking at the uniform in question. ] If that's the case, I have to admit that I don't blame them. To think that I thought my navi uniform was unflattering.

[ he glances back up again, a small stitch forming between his brows, and then: ] Getting fruit pulp in your hand like that isn't going to cause problems later, is it? [ well, after all, she's.. robotic in nature.. and he doesn't want to be the cause of some kind of issue with her hand. he's a half-step away from offering to help her get it out, but that might be offensive, so for the moment he bites the inside of his cheek and keeps that to himself. ]

[ninjabike]

Uniforms are just universally ugly somehow. No matter where you go.

[Aw, it's nice to be reminded why she's become grudgingly fond of humanity.]

A little thing like that won't slow me down, it's more of an annoyance than anything. Not like I won't do it again if I see another piece get thrown.

[stepfordsmiles]

You may be right.

[ though he thinks fighters generally get the better end of the deal regarding uniforms. theirs tend to be nicer looking. ah well, not that it matters here.

at her comment, he offers a small nod, smile returning. ] Still, maybe we can find a place to clean it off. [ a beat, then he offers out his own hand for a shake. ]

It's nice to meet you, by the way. You can call me Keeler.

[ninjabike]

Arcee.

[The still clean hand is offered, and luckily dealing with the kids back home has taught her how to do this without it being too awkward.]

Nice to meet you as well, Keeler. There's probably a river or pond nearby if nothing else. Riding might be quicker if you don't mind being just a passenger.
