[ pink panther theme ]

[tumbleweeds]

CHARACTERS: Jaye, Bass, Stefan
LOCATION: Walkabout through the creepy parts of the Tranquility.
WARNINGS: Probable swearing, definite creepy feelings, bears, Jake Gyllenhaal's face, non-sparkly vampire.
SUMMARY: A shapeshifter, a telepath, and a vampire walk through the Tranquility...
NOTES: The tiny tidbits the trio here gets to sense have been approved by the mods. It's not much, but it's some!


[ In all honesty, two days is already pushing her patience, but Jaye managed to wait that long before sending the two men a text. Medbay. Two hours. Bring whatever you'll need. She's not their mother; they'll know what they need and if not, well, sucks to be them. ]

((ooc: there will be three threads -- meeting/setting out, HEY THERE'S SOME CREEPY SHIT, and heading back/the return. I'm just going to go ahead and set them up now because... yup.))

MEETING/SETTING OUT

[tumbleweeds]

[ Jaye's waiting in the medbay for them, earrings in her ears and switchblade tucked away in her jumpsuit. She's got some bottles of water as well, but that's about it; she ate before heading down here, and as she doesn't intend on staying human, she figures she'll be fine. After all, she doesn't intend on getting lost, either. Leaning against the wall by the lift, she has her arms folded, ignoring anyone else who passes by. They'll find her. ]

[coarse]

[Jaye has the switchblade; Bass carries his hunting knife. A couple of bottles are stored in the larger pockets of the jumpsuit as well - he doesn't expect to stay away long enough for people to start asking him questions about his appetite. Unlike Jaye, he still has something to hide.]

Jaye. [It's a call from the side, only loud enough to be unmistakable. He recognizes her face from a video feed, though she might only know him for his raspy voice. Bass stands 6'3" tall, shaved head, heavy lines under blue eyes and a strong jaw, broad shoulders covered by fabric. His skin is rough, pale. He doesn't offer her a hand.] It's Bass.

[sainted]

[Stefan hears their names before he actually sees them. Sounds bounce oddly off the walls of their new spaceship home, but a few days is more than enough time to get used to it. He keeps his ears open as he approaches the medbay, armed with nothing but the clothes he's wearing. Leather jacket, jeans, t-shirt. One day he'll have to suffer the jumpsuit, but not today.

He picks up the names "Jaye" and "Bass" in the echoes and focuses, pinpointing the direction of the man's voice. The medbay, as Jaye had ordered in her message. She turns out to be a tall blonde, and Bass, an even taller man with a shaved head.]

Hi. [Stefan gestures to both of them with one hand.] You two know each other from before the Tranquillity?

[tumbleweeds]

[ One of these days Jaye will actually get to wear something that isn't the jumpsuit, but everything that was in her locker is on her person right now. That works out just fine for her, really; she's a bit possessive of her stuff.

Bass has a surprising appearance simply because the creature Fenrir looks similar, when he's not a wolf. Bass is taller though, and they speak differently, so instead of dwelling on it she nods. ] Hey.

[ And then Stefan shows up -- or she assumes it's Stefan. If not, he'll get to go on a nice walk with them anyway. His question makes her snort slightly and then she shakes her head. ] No. We've just talked before. Stefan, right?

[coarse]

[Her connection to Fenrir goes unheard - as all of their thoughts are, for now - arms crossed and eyes slightly narrowed when the third member approaches. Bass shakes his head while Jaye answers him, still waiting to decide what to make of his soon-to-be companions.

After Stefan's had the chance to answer, he turns to Jaye again, exhaling.]

Anyone else joining us?

[ooc: HI. I forgot and am now going to ask Gemi to fill these permissions! THANK YOU, CARRY ON.]

[sainted]

[He inclines his head when Jaye addresses him.] Stefan Salvatore. Nice to meet you.

[So they're all strangers to each other. Stefan wouldn't have minded if Jaye and Bass were old acquaintances, but it does make him wonder now if either of them came here with friends from home.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Maybe, like him, they're looking for a distraction, and would rather team up with strangers than familiar faces. It's not any of his business to pry, so Stefan lets go of the thought.]

If there isn't, I'm ready to go when you are.

[tumbleweeds]

You too. [ It isn't, really, just because she doesn't know if she likes him or not yet, but still. She hasn't really had the chance to decide yet on either of them. Either way, they're all here and they can get a move on. ]

No. It's just us. Most people seem to want to wait and see what happens.

[ There's a snort. Fuck that.

Pushing herself off the wall, she starts walking, letting her fingers catch on the corner to one of the many passages in the ship. ] If we go far enough, things will start to narrow out -- if we don't get turned around. I don't have any intention of getting lost, though.

[coarse]

[Stefan's words are acknowledged with a nod; little more than that is offered. Bass presents himself as a distant man more often than not, at least until something prompts him to say more.

He walks behind Jaye, arms still crossed, glancing around to pick up any surrounding thoughts and memorize patterns and voices for future reference.]

We won't get lost.
