((Ooohkay... so.. the ship has to launch we all know the truth of it. I'm going to start up a galley post and see if we can't get everyone back on the ship. I'll account for all of mine and hopefully we can get this popstand a movin' *smile*))Jamie walked up on to the deck and looked around. The workers were all gone now and sirrus altho as tight

Jamie nodded he had no appologies he was in a shitty mood. He pushed his hands in to his pockets and walked twards the front of the ship.. no better place to start he reasoned. His hair in his eyes as he walked past a few more workers and some of the other people.

"What exactly is your assignment viv? you look like a rigger but.. I could be wrong.."

[nyx_flora]

"I was a rigger on a majority of the ships I have been on, butI was given no direct assignment. Just general crew. I can do whatever is needed and whatever hasnt been filled."

She glarred at the light and wished she had grabbed her glasses, to late now. She follwed the men with very little words and only answered questions when directly asked. Everyone seemed in bad spirts today...seemed they all just wanted to leave port.

[jamie_solaris]

"you'll have to talk to tag to find out that. Shin's pretty sound on the rigging you might watch out for him tho... you never know where that cats gonna drop down from"

Jamie looked at Iden and then made motion twards the helm.

[iden_truax]

The helm. Ah, yes. The "steering wheel" according to the incompetant worker who had given him the tour earlier. What a joker.

"Oh, what a lovely view one must have from here!" Iden chirped, stepping up near the helm, behind Jamie. Vivien seemed less than thrilled to be out and about, and that gave Iden all the more reason to prolong the tour. He did not take well to moping, at least not without damn good reason.

"Speaking of the helm, which only I have done, I met the helmsman today. Rather large really, very intimidating. I suppose that would come in handy in certain situations."

[nyx_flora]

Sighing she watched the men walk around the deck. She closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air.

Vivien smiled at the mention of Ignatious. He was probably the only one who wouldn't give her shit for taking time to try to heal, seeing as he thought she had a broken rib...Vivien was beginging to agree with him

"Yes Ignatious can defiantly handle himself." she said quietly.

Jamie shifted and then lead them twards the cargo bay. most of it had already been fastened down. near the power cells it was warm.. very warm and pobibly where they would find Crash if he was on usually fiddling around inside the engines.

Jamie leaned on the cargo and now went about talking to Iden as he figured the girl knew her way sround lugging cargo. He and Otto had tied it int to place before. some of the newest equiptment took them longer than imagined.

He pushed his hair out of his face the bruise the circled his eye and at one point had threatened to swell it shut altho now it was just angry. Iden had seen it.. hell sirrus had held ice to it all the time cursing him for his stupidity.

"This is where all the navigational equptment that hasn't been set up is.. all of the excess food and such. Last place we need to have catastrophy. "

[iden_truax]

"Catastrophe. The very word that haunts Sirri's dreams, I presume." Iden smirked, looking around the dark of the cargo bay. What a drab place, he couldn't imagine working down here for any length of time. How dull. And it made him feel filthy just being there, filther than he'd felt in the galley, even

[nyx_flora]

Vivien felt at home in cargo bays. "I have spent much of time on ships, and childhood, lugging around cargo, so I may as well be down here from time to time helping out."

It was hotter then she preferred down here but it wasn't anything she wasn't used to. She pulled her hair back, her bruises exposed, and tied it up in quick knot. It helped with the heat a little bit. Looking over at Jamie she noticed his bruises, seemed everyone on this ship got into tussles.

[jamie_solaris]

Jamie nodded a bit and then looked up at the deck above when he heard someone yelling.

"Sounds like we are on soon"

He used this excuse to get the heck out of there. ducking around them both.. he had nothing aginst ither of them but his temper was flaring

[jamie_solaris]

((sorry for bailing if you want just hold off i'll erase it and come back to it tomorrow but i have work early (even for me) tomorrow))

[iden_truax]

Iden blinked, slightly offended at Jamie's sudden rush out of something that he'd offered to do, and stood there for a long moment, baffled. Suddenly, Vivien's not wanting to come along seemed like a much nicer thing to have done than to run away, leaving the two of them quite stranded in the middle of the tour.

"Well, miss, it is lucky for you that I left a trail of breadcrumbs so as we might find our ways back to the decks." he smirked, feeling around in his pockets once more for his tube of chapstick. Ahh, but the jokes did run easily when everyone else around him was in quite awful moods. He would have words with Jamie at a later time.

He stiffened his back a little, and put a plastic smile on his face, following the path of light back to the deck. It felt much safer up there. He wasn't in fear of being mugged.

[nyx_flora]

Vivien chuckled softly wincing slight. "Everyone seems to be in sour moods as of late, me included. Sorry that we started on a wrong foot. Im normally in better moods, just had a few to many incounters with fist to my ribs this week."

She ran her hands over her side and figured she should head to the deck too. "Well I need to stop by my bunk and grab my glasses and then head to the deck, your welcome to come with me if you like."

[iden_truax]

"I suspect Jameus is not in the best spirits, either." he muttered, locating a pack of clove cigarettest. No chapstick, but these would do.

"For lack of anything at all better to do, I shall follow you, ma'am." he pulled a cigarette from the case and set it to his lips, lighting it quickly. "Do you smoke?" he asked, holding out the case to her as he followed her back to the bunks.

[nyx_flora]

"Normally I dont smoke but right now I could defiantly use one, thank you."

Taking the cigarette, lighting and inhaling slowly she headed towards the crews quarters. She wanted to add more bandages around her waist but doubted Iden would appricate her lifting up her shirt in front of him. Chucking at the thought she looked over at Iden.

"So how long do you plan on staying aboard?"

[iden_truax]

"However long it takes to fulfill the Captain's chosen quest, or until it ceases to be fun, anymore, I suppose." he replied, having never really given it much thought. "I confess, I am not much of a planner, I rarely think ahead beyond the day at hand. Thinking ahead only leads to worry."

He took a long drag, sucking the smoke deep into his lungs as she rooted around for her sunglasses. After a few long moments, he released his breath, a veil of silvery smoke swirling around his head. The sweet taste of the cloves lingered on his lips as he held the cigarette between two fingers and looked around the bunks. What a horrible looking place -- he couldn't imagine sleeping here.

"How long does one usually remain aboard a ship, barring that they are not the initerent sort like myself. A general crew member, like you or Jamie, for instance." Yes, how long would Jamie stay aboard, he wondered. It was quite a good question, indeed. He shifted his weight a little and took another drag.

[nyx_flora]

"Not quiet to sure. Longest Ive stayed on a ship is four years. But Ive been kicked off a few ships so I wouldn't consider my stay on ships normal."

She found her glasses finally and slipped them on, hiding a few of the bruises. She let her hair back down as well. She left a little more like herself. Thinking over what she said she added.

"I didn't get kicked off for anything bad, no worries. Frankly I get kicked off for being..." she paused. "For being me, Vooridens aren't well liked."

Putting her stuff back into her bag she found some more medical gauze. "Dont mean to be rude but I would like to try to bandage up my side a little more and I dont want to make you uncomfortable but lifting my shirt up in front of ya. It will only take me a moment."
