Because you all want to be stalked by a tentacle beast
CHARACTERS: Laughing Octopus and IT COULD BE YOU!!!
LOCATION: Wherever your character is (as long as it isn't in a personal cabin or behind a locked door).
WARNINGS: Stalking and probably occasional swearing from her. I don't expect any violence to come up, but just in case, she doesn't take too kindly to being threatened.
SUMMARY: She's got her Octopus suit now, and after months of being bored out of her mind, she looks to test it out... by stalking anyone she comes across and having a little fun with the camouflage and shapeshifting capabilities of her suit. People she's friends with? Boy, oh boy, does she have something to show off to you.
Oh, and also Murphy will get ink puked on him, because his life doesn't suck enough.
NOTES: You can pick your poison of how she stalks on your character, with the scenarios described. If you should choose the version where she camouflages herself, even if her suit is really good at making her blend into her surroundings, she's not perfect. So feel free to have your character notice and call her out, if they're particularly astute. Action or prose is perfectly fine with me, I'll match whatever you do.
Also, it'd be awesome if people who haven't filled out her permissions post could do so here!
[As useful as stalking the network could be, sometimes, it got to be pretty boring when she was doing it constantly for about two months. So when Laughing Beauty found her Octopus suit in hr locker, after the last jump, not only was she happy to have the security the suit provided her, but also the freedom to do more.
Though it's main purpose was for battle, she had no reason to attack anyone on board the Tranquility, but LB wasn't about to let her suit lying around idly; she needed to test out the main functions at least, to make sure they worked. And hey, maybe she could have a little fun by doing so.
So creeping amongst the area of the ship, there's a couple of possibilities that the Octopus might try out:
She might be creeping above your character silently, whether she found some rafters to walk around on or she's using the tentacles of her suit to hold herself in place (maybe even hanging herself upside-down). Either way, she'll be following your character around, trying to eventually get to a position where she can jump out when she thinks her target is least suspecting it, to give them a good (but hopefully harmless) scare.
Alternatively, she the Octopus actually be somewhere on the floor, attempting to disguise herself with her surroundings by either blending in nearly flawlessly with the wall or shifting herself to appear as something else entirely, whether it appears to be an oddly placed painting, a creepy anatomy model, what appears to be a weirdly thick wire, or maybe even a box with tentacles spilling from it (she liked to think it was a good disguise against Snake).
Whatever method she uses, she'll be mostly quiet, though inevitably the room will still occasionally filled with her laughter; this time, however, the suit will distort her speech to make the giggling sound far more sinister than usual in a weird, distorted sounding double voice.
Even if she runs into someone she knows, she's still going to follow them around for a little bit, just for a little fun.]
For Murphy only:
Sometime after the Octopus has her fun with everyone, she's wandering the halls again, but instead as a "Beauty" without the tentacle suit. While it was a good source of entertainment today, she inevitably used the ink fog function of her suit a little too much and wasn't feeling particularly well after retreating to her room and taking the suit off.
Walking haggardly, her posture was similar to a zombie's, as it always took a little time to adjust between the transition from Beast to Beauty. A hand trails along a nearby wall, which helps keep the balance while she attempts to make it to a bathroom, though she really doesn't know where she's going in her groggy state, at the moment.
Pausing every now and then -- even at her slow pace -- a mutter of a giggle escapes her lips before she forces herself to keep moving. She'd rather not leave a mess in the hallway, but at this rate, LB wasn't sure just how much further she could make it.

So when Murphy suggests she go to the med bay, LB straightens her posture and smiles uneasily at him to try to ease his mind about her. "No, no! It-- it's fine. Really!"
Her hands begin to reach out to his shoulder, but her fingertips stop just millimeters from the ink-soaked clothes. Oh, right.
"The truth is, uh, I actually feel a lot better now." A laugh passes while she slowly slides her hand back down to the side of her waist. "Just... getting that out of my body is good enough."
A funny look passes through her features, while she quietly adds:
"Even if it was all over you."

Though he didn't sound as relieved by it as he actually was, and even more so that she had second thoughts about reaching out to him then. But really, good to know you're doing so much better now, LB. Murphy is quietly happy for you.
Never mind the fact that he had no idea how someone could manage to keep such an inhuman amount of ink in their system...
"Well, if you're sure, I should probably go and, uh... get changed, I guess..." Soaked as he was, ink was no rainwater that would simply dry off.
Dammit, he liked these clothes, too. They were his clothes. Not a stupid jumpsuit identifying him by number rather than his name. He was getting used to trying to at least act like an abiding citizen of society.
no subject
"Yeah, um... I'm really sorry about that." Yes, she already apologized, but she was really bad about apologizing more than she needed to. "Obviously, I don't have anything that would fit you, but - ah... I'll keep my eye open for some kind of cleaning supplies."
The brief thought of offering him instant noodles came up, in her mind, but even LB realized that getting out of ink soaked clothes were probably just a little more important than eating food that might make him feel better.
no subject
He wiped his face with the back of his hand. As a result, he only wound up smearing the ink even worse, and just made it spread. Not that he could see that.
"I'm good. Got some spare clothes back in my room..." Which was a fucking godsend, in retrospect. He didn't have much, but it was better than having to force himself into another standard uniform.
He liked having variety. Freedom. Stupid as it might be.
"Thanks... for the offer, though." Not for puking on him, of course.
no subject
Thinking, for a few moments, she tries to see if she can remember any easy solutions of getting the ink out; she always did have trouble cutting off the ink sacs of octopus, as a child. However, the thought of ink, and how she associated it with a certain incident threatened to creep among her thoughts. Cutting off that train of thought immediately, LB rubs at her head roughly, laughing again as she did so.
"I... I wish I knew how to help, I do, but - you should probably really go clean off what you can."
no subject
Just clothes.
He sighed, and started to head off towards the nearest locker area. "Anyway, glad you're feelin' better now. That's what matters."
In any case, Murphy figured he'd probably be spending some quality time in the showers just trying to clean himself off. His clothes are going to be another matter entirely, with the lack of dry cleaning.
no subject
"Ah, good luck getting that off." She smiles weakly. "I - I always had trouble getting it off my skin, when I was younger, but - maybe you'll have better luck."
