WARNINGS: none atm, will update as needed



01 🗡 SUNLIGHT ROOM

[ andy claimed a bed in the dorms, but it doesn't mean she always uses it. she prefers napping and sleeping in the sunlight room, because even if she knows it probably isn't real, it feels real enough to trick her for a little while. it's definitely her favorite and most frequented spot on board. she's got a supply of blankets and booze tucked near her tree, which is all she really needs. ]

[ sometimes she is sleeping, sometimes she's just laying there in the grass, staring up at the sky. her labrys is always nearby, whether she's with her blanket nest near one of the trees she's claimed for herself or hanging out with her feet in the stream. sometimes she just... wanders, wishing it was bigger. ]

[ she sits by the brook, munching on a big bowl of cereal while the water swims by her feet. there's a sealed bottle of what she hopes is close enough to vodka in the grass by her shoes, and her pants are rolled up to her knees. ] It's not that cold, in case you're wondering.

[ or maybe you just... find her in her blanket burrito, dead asleep. one of the nice things about being immortal is she doesn't have to worry about anyone killing her while she's resting. she has no wounds to heal from via braccia, she's just very tired. all the time. ]

02 🗡 KITCHEN GREMLIN

[ just because andy is rather old doesn't mean she's got any sort of finesse in the kitchen. she knows how to cook, of course, but she doesn't really... care to most of the time. especially when she's had a millennium of nicky's food and nicky's cooking and he enjoys taking over there. so when she eats on ximilia, she eats more like a goblin. ]

[ it's not like there's a sun cycle, and her body is struggling a little bit to get into a set schedule when she can't follow a nature based pattern. so she ends up in the kitchen scrounging for food at all hours of the day and night, running into all sorts of people. ]

[ catch her sitting on the countertop eating pasta - but it's just the plain noodles, freshly boiled, still in the pot which she is holding one handed with an oven mitt, the other hand making use of her fork. it looks close enough to spaghetti that she deemed it acceptable and she probably made a little too much for one person, but again: she is simply eating it out of the pot. it might not be shareable. ]

[ there's very little that isn't acceptable to her for food at this point. andromache the scythian will eat anything, and they don't have what she needs to make good baklava. ]

03 🗡 TRAINING ROOM

[ andy isn't in here training. she doesn't need any training. but she is here to watch and check out what other people are capable of, to see how and where they'll all be useful the next time around. she already knows there are quite a few skilled people aboard, but she's curious about the variety. she carries no weapons on her here, not worried about needing any. plenty of people have already offered their services to the whole group, and she hasn't quite decided if she intends to be among those numbers. ]

[ still, she knows some people have seen what she can do by now, whether via the fighting rings or via the heist itself. mostly she is munching on what she thinks are some kind of potato chips with a half empty bottle of presumably wine beside, idly observing the people who come in and out like some kind of weirdo. she has to get her entertainment somehow. ]

[ but she will clap if she is particularly impressed by something! cheers. ]

04 🗡 WILDCARD

[ wild card!! hit me up to plot for something more specific if you want, on disco @ romanitas#5368 or communism! pls hit me up for some event follow up and after math stuff!! c: ]

Comments

[oiorpata]

[ this kid is... hysterical. at least he winds down as easily as he winds up. ]

What people do with their time isn't really my business. [ she is not very interested. ] But I guess you're right that the size of this ship means people's paths cross more often than not. Where do you like to hang out?

[coordination]

[ Hang out isn't the term he'd use, but, ]

I don't know if I favor anywhere specific here. If I'm not in my room relaxing with a book or something to do, I'd be in the common area. Or here, I guess, if I'm in the mood. But the latter two lack the privacy my room does if I don't want any interruptions.

The training and simulation rooms are useful, too, as I have plenty I'm keeping brushed up on. But neither of those are really recreational.

[oiorpata]

I think reading can count as recreational. I hear lots of people do that for fun.

[ it's booker, booker is lots of people. there is a reason his name became what it was and it wasn't just the oddly thematically appropriate surname. ]

Starting to think you're the type who doesn't like to relax.

[coordination]

It is when my focus isn't on educating myself and preparing for my duties back home. But ... I do read more than just those sorts of things.

[ And then after saying that, he has the audacity to add: ]

I know how to relax perfectly fine!

[ He very clearly does not. ]

[oiorpata]

If it's not an obligation to read, wouldn't that count as reading for fun? Regardless of topic.

[ some people have fun with learning. joe and nicky like to go to university every other decade. ]

You're really convincing me. [ this is too easy. ]

[coordination]

It would. But I don't tend to mix fun and work. The things I've been reading up on for that have been interesting for sure. But I don't think I'd have sought them on my own if I was looking for something to relax and pass the time. Things like aerospace engineering and before I came here, the ins and outs of PLANT's educational structure.

[ He gives Andy A Look. He's around enough people who say those same things to him. He knows this kind of sarcasm! ]

[oiorpata]

[ hmmmm. ]

So fun goes out the window more often than not? Or do you just not wanna talk about what you read for fun?
