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!

gonna get into some uncomfortable subjects here :(
[Armin is shaking like a leaf in heavy rain now, his chest both taut and heavy. He presses his hand to his mouth, as if he could stop the poison of the truth from spilling out of there.
He doesn't have to go back there.
But he'll probably never see anyone he met there again. If Jean comes here, he might not remember. That's how all this business with timelines work.
The worst part is how much he wants to say it wasn't really all that bad. But what kind of person would think that? What kind of person would get used to such a situation, and adapt rather than fight? What a disgusting person he is.]
I - I can make a written report, sir, but I am afraid that is all I can speak of right now. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I didn't always conduct myself well as a member of your squad or a representative of the Scouting Legion. I was - cowardly.
Oh armin :(
He didn't even react though when the brothel was mentioned. He didn't care about that. His mother had worked for one, and she had done the best she could for Levi. He wasn't about to judge Armin because of the situation he was in.]
There are plenty of times where I haven't followed the Scouting code, Armin.
[Especially now that they were criminals. Not like he was innocent before though. Life in the Underground left scars. He looked back to him as he took his cup in his hand, his fingers on the rim.]
You survived. That's what matters.
no subject
[Armin replies softly, like he doesn't really believe it but doesn't know how to refute it. It's not so different than their last conversation.]
Unfortunately, I'm not certain how applicable my new skill-set will be. Perhaps if one of the captain likes blond boys.
[Armin chokes out a laugh.]
no subject
Take what happened and allow it to make you stronger, that's all you can do.
[But that last comment made an eyebrow raise. Did he really just cracked that joke? Was that even suppose to be a joke or was he serious? He almost couldn't tell.]
Right, but that isn't going to be our go to answer.
no subject
[Armin lets the conversation drop for a little while, eating. Given the scarcity of food back home, he's never let his mood affect his appetite much.] If we find a way back, we should see if we can bring some of their medical equipment and weapons.
