[OPEN] January Catch-All

[ghostbullet]

Who: Melanie King (ghostbullet), Daisy Tonner (hadnoright), Alice Dyer (closureisformovies), CT (liesdontfindyou) & you!
What: Catch-All for Blue's character
When: January, and some backdated December stuff
Where: All over! See character prompt headers.
Warnings: In specific headers where relevant.



Melanie, Daisy, Alice and CT all have open prompts in the comments. More may be added, depending on if anything gives me reason to/I think of anything else worth putting up. Closed starters are also available upon request if these prompts don't work but you want to do something!

Ruby Rose and Gwen Stacy have their own open top-levels at the links that I'm also still very open to tags on.

CT shake her head. "I don't know him, no, but I've heard him on the radio and read his reports in the paper."

She nods. "He's very learned in the ways of weather, from his own world. He studied the weather there, on the ship, every day we were there, and he said it never once changed. Down to the same clouds, crossing the sky at the same times."

"That's— downright disconcerting. Even the Mother of Invention didn't have tells like that. Though whether no simulated sky at all is better or worse is probably down to personal opinion. I always tried not to think too hard about what was happening beyond the walls of the ship, open space is— well it's not my favourite environment."

Too vast and unpredictable. It was all well and good being on the inside of the thick, metal hull of the massive ship, but the few times she had to travel with nothing but her armour between her and the vacuum were terrifying. Not thinking about being thrown out there by decompression in a drop-ship or a strike against the Invention was in her best interests.

Cassandra shakes her head. "Open space ... to be honest, I have trouble even imagining it. Crichton's described it to me a few times, but that isn't really the same."

[liesdontfindyou]

CT makes a low noise of agreement. "It's something you have to experience to really understand. Undoubtedly beautiful, but it's the kind of beauty I'd rather keep a nice, thick bulkhead between me and it. Even then, the first time I stepped on a real starship it took me days to get over the space sickness and the feeling of impending doom every time I saw a window out. My first team lead had to help me get my space legs."

And back then the program luckily still cared enough to give its new arrivals time to adjust before throwing them into their initiation matches. She's not sure that would have held if they'd kept recruiting later.

"Mm. I know people who say the same about the snow. -- Not the sickness and impending doom part, the part about how it's beautiful but they'd much rather see it from inside some nice thick walls."

Jokingly: "Well, one's decidedly more deadly than the other. But they are both just as cold."
