((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

"Perhaps this will be your ship of dreams, then. I have traveled for many years without finding another from my planet, because Ärgans generally believe that their planet is the center of the universe and therefore have no need to see anything else. But I have been affiliated with this ship for hardly a week and already I have found another Ärgan, on this very crew, no less

"Well if you have found another of your kind maybe this ship will find me another of mine, not that I know what I would say. I guess more then anything its to know im not the only one not left on the damned planet slash jail." Sighing she took another drag from her almost forgotten cigarette, closing her eyes and enjoying the taste.

"I dont know much of my species either, all I know Ive learned from history books and those are never accurate in my opinion. I would like to think my parents were adventures, but alas Ill never know."

Pulling her hair back over her face and scar she prepared to head up to the deck. She wanted as many of her bruises covered as possible. She didnt want anyone to take it easy on her. She would pull her own weight.

"I know more than enough of my own, unfortunately." Iden grumbled, making a mental note to have Sirrus check out this young woman's background. He did not want to know, but she might like to know at some point, and he had access to the best source of information this side of...well...almost anything. Sirrus could find anything on anyone, it seemed. And he could cover it up just as easily.

"Well, on the off chance that Jamie was not merely lying to us to get out of there, we should perhaps hit the decks. Though I heard nothing of what he spoke of." Iden smirked, knowing full well that Jamie had heard nothing. Still, being in the bunks was giving him cabin fever. He needed to get out of there, everything was so musky and dark, and the overwhelming scent of unbathed male permeated even the almost overwhelming scent of cloves that seemed to melt out of Iden's very pores.

He turned on his heel and began the trek upward, tapping his fingers at his side, the cigarette hanging precariously from his lip. Ahhh, fresh air, good

Following Iden up to the deck she was greeted with a cool breeze. Smiling broader then she had all day she closed her eyes and took in the cold. Grinning over at Iden

"It defiantly is a beautiful night."

Noticing the barren deck Vivien was disappointed. She didnt want to be climbing around on deck in her condition but the last thing she wanted to do was sit around port any longer.

"Looks like we wont be leaving tonight like I had hoped we would."

Leaning against the deck Vivien inhaled deeply, enjoying the taste of the cloves. "It has been years since I have had a clove cigarette. Forgot how much I love them."

"It is a filthy habit, smoking, and I am quite addicted to it." he smiled languidly, looking up into the fading light of the evening. Soon it would be night, and with any luck, the ship would launch in the morning.

"Tonight will be my first night sleeping aboard the ship, I am quite anxious about it. I should very much like to get some reading in before I sleep, though, so I should probably get to that. It has been lovely meeting you, Vivien, though I fear whenever I see you, I will think only of the music of harps." he grinned at her, chinese turquoise eyes glittering in the evening light. "Goodnight."

Slowly, he turned and made his way toward his quarters, which were at the opposite end of the ship from the crew and First Mate's quarters. He would be sleeping just above the thrusters, and how thrilled he was at that. Ear plugs would be in order, as well as a good phonograph that was capable of playing at decent volumes. The entire way back to his quarters, he berated himself for being such a terrible flirt. If it is

"It will make me smile knowing someone will think of me with the beautiful music of harps rather then what most associate me with..." she trailed off.

"Goodnight Mister Truax, do try to sleep well. It was a pleasure to met you as well."

She watched the man walk away and turned her gaze to the sky. The nights beauty would be coming soon. Finishing off her cigarette she carefully climbed up to the edge of the ship. She wished she could sleep out her, in the comfort of the cool night air, but she hadnt talked to the captain about it and she didnt want to make anyone mad. I will stay out here until sleep calls for me.

Laying down slowly, carefully balancing on the edge of the ship, Vivien wrapped her arms around her pained middle and stared at the sky.
