EVENT: SPACE PIRATES ▒ OXYGEN GARDENS

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: Camping.
SUMMARY: Hanging out in camp, discussing pirates, etc.
NOTES: Open to all!

Camping may not be an expected activity on a spaceship, but the gardens are large and have clear, grassy areas for people to gather together. You can help set up tents, inventory supplies or guard the perimeter — just keep an eye out for any strange faces trying to sneak in...

[When she pulls away from him, her mouth is drawn in a tight line.]

That's not ever the right way to do something.

[But after a few seconds of sounding like his mother, she's smiling once again, and brings the cookie up to her mouth to try a little nibble.]

If they take too much, someone will have to do that. We can't lose everything, it wouldn't be very fair.

[Liking the taste of the cookie, she takes a bigger bite now. She's still not used to getting sweet treats, so her head is swimming with energy.]

[shoyu]

[ well, that makes soy give a rather startled little blink. he'd hardly expected to be scolded like that, and he looks appropriate sheepish the next moment as he rubs a hand at his jaw. ]

Mmm, I suppose that's true. An eye for an eye all the time, and I suppose a great many people would be left bumbling around blindly? But --

[ and then prim's going to get the brightest, most charming smile he could possibly manage. ]

-- I couldn't possibly let them take so many things from the ship and make you sad, Miss Prim! You're far too pretty to be looking unhappy, and it would break my heart!

[ soysauce laughs as he winks at her. ]

I promise we won't hurt them too badly, though. Just get back what's ours.

[littleduck]

[At his smile, she finds herself laughing. He's such a nice man, someone that she's so very glad that she met her first day here.]

That sounds perfectly fair, promise.

[Another bite of the cookie is taken, and she finds that it's hard to stop munching on something so delicious. She was going to save most of it for later, but that's apparently not going to happen now.]

And really, even though I don't like it when people fight and hurt each other, I know that it has to be done. I'm used to seeing it, but that doesn't make it easy. If the pirates are bad people, then they're going to eventually end up paying for it. That's the way things work.

[There's not a lot of black & white issues in her life, but this is one of them. She truly does believe that bad people eventually get what's coming to them, even if the good people rarely meet an end that they deserve.]

What are you going to do to fill your time while we're waiting for things to go back to normal, though?

[shoyu]

[ he watches the way prim munches on that cookie and can't help smiling. she's really enjoying it, goodness! maybe she hasn't had much of a chance for sweets before this entire fiasco? soysauce makes a note at the back of his mind to set aside a few cookies for prim the next time he has any time to spend in the kitchen baking. ]

-- ah, to fill the time?

[ a small blink at that last question, and soysauce gives a thoughtful little hum. looking over the rest of the oxygen garden, at the security members milling around and the small stockpile of supplies -- answering slowly, ]

Well, it seems many members of security will be asked to help fetch supplies for a while. The Gardens are the safest place to store supplies, and seeing how most people are camping out here until things die down ... I might have to make quite a few runs back and forth.

[ a small laugh before he adds, ] Not that I can compliain. I'm happy to be of use, and it certainly keeps me busy.
