magnus burnsides | taz
[There's free food and celebrating and Magnus knows how to party. Granted, he kind of stands out, seeing as he's about six feet tall and kinda wide and a little rough-looking. He's definitely got the most impressive sideburns of anyone in the room, auburn and bushy, and the loudest laughter as he listens to someone's hilarious bar story.
Then he tosses back a big ol mug of extremely spiked eggnog, and starts in on his own.]
Let me tell you about something that almost ended up like that. I was in this little town and there was this guy harassing this smaller guy to give up his seat. He was like, like the size of a roach compared to the big guy, and things were getting pretty rough. I thought I'd have to step in, you know? And-- and then the little guy turns around on his stool and-- I guess he must've been a wizard or something, because--
[This is about to be the best bar story you've ever heard, probably, and it involves the little guy having the deep voice of Stephen Fry, an incredibly clutch kick to the crotch, and the kidnapping of a sheep. That Magnus later returned himself, because of course.]
[II. gift giving]
[Magnus is absolutely delighted when someone gives him something. It's just a little stone ornament, but it's carved and it's pretty, and it's in the shape of a dog. He carries it around with him like it's a goddamn treasure, tied right onto his belt, and he proudly shows it off to anyone who'll listen to him about it.
One may also catch him with a block of misshapen wood in his hands toward the end of the night, curled up by a fire, as he furiously whittles away at it.]
[III. IT'S LIKE QUIDDITCH WITH MORE PUNCHING]
[If you're trying out this world's version of hockey, things are about to get rough. Perhaps literally, as a Ruff Boi dressed in the red and black padded armor steps out into the rink. There is no freaking way that he should be able to skate that fast, but he's going after players for giant bear hugs in order to keep them on their toes!]
[IV. whatever the hell you want]
[Throw me something!]
II: holy shit you beautiful creature you
While the big guy is curled up by the fire whittling away, all concentration and sharp pointy bits because of course he's got a knife out, Taako suddenly and abruptly just Blinks into existence next to him.]
Heyo. Makin' another duck?

II - eee ♥
But, well, no sense beating around the bush, right? They're gonna talk sooner or later, so he's just going to hope for the best. (While also being braced for the worst.) He steps his way over to where Magnus is sitting by the fire. ]
Working on something already? Didn't you only just get here?
[ Yes hello please know who he is and if you do know who he is then please don't let it be a case where he's gonna have to brace himself for a fight because maaan he does not want that right now jfdksl ]

romelle | vld
look, she doesn't care if you're enjoying yourself, but she has spent more than enough time being someone else's tool and plaything, thankyouverymuch. so she'll have no part in it!
even if... you know... all that food looks so quizacking good. ]
FEASTING
but she's eaten more than enough for the moment (heck, the day) so she's currently trying her best to politely turn down a native's offer for more. ]
Oh — no no, it's quite alright, thank you. Yes, it's all very delicious but I assure you, I'm very full. Fit to bursting, even!
[ she looks like if she eats one more bite, she'll explode... or maybe it's just her lack of patience that'll lead to a different kind of explosion? ]
ICE CAVES
but it's been nearly a varga now, and she's pretty sure they've passed by that same rock twice now, so she's pretty much reaching the end of her metaphorical rope.
plus, it's cold. ]
I can't believe I let you talk me into this... [ ugh. ]
WILD CARD
Feasting
Still! He's approached her with a plate of cookies he's been working on but isn't sure if he can finish.]
C'mooooon, Romelle. Now that we've gotten that sweet smile on your face, don't you want some more sweet treats?
[Don't worry, he isn't literally flirting anymore!]

Adora | She-ra and the Princesses of Power
[A party. Festival. Whatever. She actually knew what this kind of thing was about since she's been to exactly two parties in her entire life. Okay so both may have ended in explosions and some terrible plot by the Horde, but hey--this one was looking up!
Not to mention Adora knew there was one thing a party always had. Food. Delicious, non-ration, hot food.
Please excuse her as she stuffs her face. This is probably the only instance where she's going to be comfortable with the fact she's alone and without her sword, okay? Let a girl live.]
Caves and Exploring
Woooah... [Okay. So. Adora is an easily impressed bean. She was rather sheltered within the walls of the Horde's Fright Zone (why she never saw something odd with that name until she left it she would never know). And touring Eternia with Glimmer and Bow had always brought her to new wonders. But sparking ice caves? Glowing hot springs? This was something else.]
This is so...awesome. [Cue starry-eyes and all. Who cares if they've been lost in these caves for a couple of hours? She had more to see, obviously.]
Gift Giving
[If no one had figured it out yet, parts of Adora's past were just sad when put in comparison with any normal, well-adjusted person. Whether it was because of her time spent being raised in and by the Horde, or her destiny as some super-human princess of power.
This instance though? This one belonged entirely to the Horde. If you even try to give her a gift, she's going to turn to awkward smiling and holding the package at arm's length.] Okaaaay. Thank you? But...why?
[Why is she being given this thing? What is happening? Where are her friends to help her translate and navigate these social situations?]

It's beautiful, isn't it? It makes quite a view.

Bucky Barnes | MCU (post TWS)
The problem with being strung so tight for so long is that when there's a moment to relax, Bucky finds it hard to do so. Idleness isn't welcome, and he's not sure if it's the unease of being suddenly drafted into the Fleet or if it's the fog that he can still feel clinging stubbornly to his brain. But whatever the case, he'd rather spend his free time doing something. Fortunately, this place seems to offer plenty to satisfy that urge.
The castle tour is a little disappointing only because, while history and architecture are momentarily interesting, it still doesn't mean anything to him. Hiking is better, dressing against the cold to explore the surrounding landscape and the caves. Sure, the ice makes the footing a little treacherous, but it's nothing he can't handle. And apparently, he's not the only one. "Excuse me, just passing through—"
Working;
A search for laborers attracts Bucky for two reasons: it's physical activity, something to engage both the mind and the muscles, and there's the hope that working alongside people will give him a chance to learn a little more about where they are and why. While there's been plenty of the first, it's the second that's got him a little frustrated. Everything he finds out slots in so seamlessly with what he just knows, but he has no idea how he knows it. But he's so certain about it, while at the same time so uncertain of who he is. He feels like he can't fully trust his own brain and that's not a comfortable thought at all.
But physical labor? That's easy enough, even though the work itself is hard. It keeps him moving and earns him money, and he can't complain about either of those things — especially when the exercise option on the ship is a poor excuse for a treadmill. He much prefers being outside like this, even with the cold, and when he sees the signal from the group leader to start packing it up, he'll pass that signal onto the person closest to him. "Looks like it's time to go."
Gifting;
This whole experience has been somewhat surreal but a bustling wintery town is at least somewhat normal. It reminds him a little of Europe, but it's also entirely new. And it's almost impossible to disappear and be a faceless figure in a crowd here; he's not sure how he feels about that.
There's also the fact that this isn't earth and that he probably doesn't need to disappear into a crowd here; he's really not sure how he feels about that.
But he's here nevertheless and it's been more comfortable to spend time away from the ship than on it, which is why he's wandering around the streets. There's also a small part of him, half-remembered, that he thinks might have been fascinated with the idea of space travel and other planets. But he's really not sure if that feeling is genuine or not, and it seems easier to just distance himself from the ship, at least for the moment. That does, however, leave him at the mercy of the denizens of this place, who are a lot friendlier than he would have expected. He is in fact experiencing that friendliness right now as a girl skips right up to him and presses a piece of carved wood into his hands.
"I think you're mistaking me—" for someone else, the rest of the sentence goes unfinished as the gift-giver has already scurried away, leaving Bucky awkwardly holding a trinket that looks like a cross between a five-pointed star and a snowflake. He's not quite sure what he's supposed to do with it.
Wildcard;
Whatever idea you have I'm likely willing to roll with it; feel free to drop a prompt or PM this journal if you'd like to discuss anything. While I tend to write my starters in prose, if you prefer to tag in brackets I will shift to match.
Gifting
"It's a normal tradition here, this time of year," he says casually but with a note of something else underlying his tone. Excitement? "You can give it to another stranger, if you prefer not to keep it for yourself."
Do you know me, he wants to ask but doesn't.
I feel like I should apologize right now...

shun kenzaki ▪ origin ( 2018 ) ▪ open
text; username: kenzaki | entire fleet broadcast
What's the point of all of this?
Not on a philosophical level.
What is the literal point of being here? What purpose does this serve?
Are we secret guinea pigs?
Watched. Prodded. Observed with amusement.
I don't believe in coincidence or fate.
We're here because we were brought here.
I want off this ship.
Is that going to happen?
[ Shun doesn't expect many answers but something, anything, would be useful. ]

Lucretia | The Adventure Zone
[ The view is beautiful, one she's never gotten tired of even after her years on the moon base.
Lucretia's on the hospitality deck of the Marsiva, standing in front of the windows and looking out into the void, her staff held tight in one hand. It's like no place she's ever been before, mostly in how huge it is, sleek and silent and made to house so many people. She's used to change, to exploration, but even so, this is a lot to take in, and so she's simply taking a moment to get her bearings, breathing the recycled air in deep. ]
candlenights
[ Well, maybe not quite. But it's a winter festival, and if some of the traditions are new, the overall spirit is familiar enough to be comforting. So Lucretia's doing her best to join in, accepting a cup of tea and any trinket that's offered with a grateful smile. She doesn't have much to give herself, but she does hand out a few sketches, and is happy to do quick custom ones as well, if she happens across anyone who seems like they might appreciate such a thing.
When it comes to the rock-skipping, she scribbles a wish down quickly and - not coincidentally - in a language that it is very, very unlikely that anyone else on board would ever be able to read, even in the even less likely chance of the rock being fished out of the water and inspected. She simply stands for a long moment, gripping the rock tightly in one hand, eyes squeezed shut, before skipping it across the water and watching it sink and disappear. ]
wildcard
[ Hit me! ]
candlenights;
Lucretia! You're here too! It's like-- like a Candlenights miracle! Sorta. Minus the... uh, kidnapping... thing... but you're here! And safe!

Kolivan | VLD
[There is plenty about this planet that he isn't that interested in. As good as it is to see people free to celebrate as they wish, he also has found it less than necessary to be among it. Especially after hearing about the ice caves. It's these he goes to explore instead not at all minding that he's on his own. At least that was the plan when he came here.
One doesn't lead the Blade of Marmora and be unable to notice changes in his surroundings. So whether you are trying to be quiet about your approach or not, he turns to face you, eyes narrowed as he assesses if this is an attack or not. One can never be too careful. That's what he's learned in his lifetime.]
[Iskaulit]
[But he can't spend all of his time on the planet. So he also ends up exploring the ship that appears to be the community one. It's strange that it appears to have been set up like a place for shopping and eating and the like yet it is mostly abandoned. He comes across shops that are emptied out, elevator shafts that seem to lead to nowhere...
Honestly he's not hiding so it's easy to spot the large Galra as he moves around, that ever present frown on his face. It seems to be his most common expression really. Though it's hard to tell if that means that he's displeased with his findings or if that's just how he looks.
(It's honestly just how he looks.)]

[Got another idea? Go for it! I'll follow along.]

Alfred Pennyworth | Gotham City series
[The last thing Alfred remembered was chasing after Master Bruce and trying to talk some sense into him. Which seemed to be a daily thing for him anymore. Now he found himself aboard a strange ship and to be a source of entertainment for people. He really wondered if this was some bizarre dream he having.
For now he settled to adapting himself to the new life around him and trying to familiarize himself with how things were done. While at the same time he was making inquiries of the possibility of his young charge being onboard as well.
He easily stuck out in the crowd with the three piece suite he wore. Alfred wasn't too hesitant about approaching a random person for information.]

Ryan Kinkade | Voltron: Legendary Defender
[As much as he had trained to one day make it off Earth, to find himself in the deep reaches of space, simulators and pilot training never really prepared you for the reality. Nor did it prepare you for the views outside of a cockpit.
Which probably explained why Kinkade had, like many of the others, found himself wandering the vast expanses of the cave's network of tunnels. Unlike his fellow explorers, however, he had taken to viewing what it had to offer through a makeshift frame, thumbs and pointer fingers placed together--if he had his camera, any camera, he could actually capture some of this stuff on film.]
Someone should document this...
[So why not him?]
Feasts and Things
This is...edible, right? [The Garrison wasn't exactly known for gourmet food in the cafe or anything, but he was allowed to be somewhat skeptical of alien food. Even if it did smell and look delicious. And even if his stomach miiight be growling in protest to his delays.
Sue him for being cautious. It's served him well before.]
Wild Card
[Feel free to toss anything my way.]
2
[Shiro laughs at the comment about the food. He doesn't blame him for being distrusting of it, to be fair, Shiro has seen and tried enough in space to be the first one to recommend not to trust everything you see. Especially the food, Allura would say about milk.]
It is. A great improvement over the gel of the ship kitchens, isn't it?

Astre Phantomhive | Kuroshitsuji +Riverview/Starhue CRAU memories
[Even at sixteen, Astre is small. He's barely breaking five feet, dark blue hair a bit messy, and an eyepatch over his right eye, he might stand out a bit. He's wearing a slightly too-big sweater and jeans with sneakers. He looks like he's from any other modern time or world.
He's not, but he certainly looks the part. Both times he's been to new worlds, he had a great deal more freedom. He didn't miss the Quarantine so much as he's already missing his little farm and family there.
So he does all he can do for now and he explores his new 'home.']
[Network - text]
My name is Astre. I have just arrived. I am the son of the former Earl of Phantomhive.
I would appreciate anyone providing me with more information than what has already been... provided, for lack of a better word. Also, if anyone if familiar with with Phantomhive Earldom, I would appreciate speaking with you.
[Feasting]
[Really, Astre is all for attending the feasts. And collecting recipes, even if his cooking skills are not the best. Undertaker had taught him some, but that doesn't mean he's very good at it.
He'll try though and he'll otherwise pick at desserts mostly. His sweet tooth cannot be contained, unfortunately. Beforehand though, he will behave himself and eat something proper from amongst the feast offerings.]
Re: Astre Phantomhive | Kuroshitsuji +Riverview/Starhue CRAU memories

Mirage Jenius | Macross Delta
[The moment that first gift hits her hands is one of many moments in this system that stern Mirage will end up just a touch baffled. The native plops it into her hand with so little ceremony that it's all Mirage can do to just sort of... blink at it?
And then another native. Both sets of earrings, one a set of plain metal cuffs and the other something more dangly and glittery.
Mirage just. Narrows her eyes a little?]
What sort of tactic is this?
II. Float Decoration
[Never let it be said that Mirage shirks on work. In her time here so far she's taken more bodyguard duties than anything else and for the most part has made herself somewhat scarce for holiday celebrations. It isn't that she doesn't like them but she's equally never been a social butterfly. And now snow reminds her of Hayate and well... she needs a bit of time is all. She's more than accepted things but she just needs time.
Today though she's helping with decorating an already built float. And surprisingly she's doing pretty well! Mirage's eye for detail while piloting turns out to make her a fairly good judge of what goes with what. Except for right now someone has tasked her with making what appears to be snowflakes. Stacks and stacks of snowflakes.
And after cutting her fiftieth one, Mirage notes with somewhat drooping shoulders:]
... Maybe I should go do more bodyguarding jobs after all.
III. Wildcard
[Want to drag Mirage to the hot springs? Make her go shopping with you? Go down in the caves to look for the tree? Run with those or any other prompt here and feel free to PM with questions if you need to!]
i
It's not any sort of tactic. The season is simply meant for that here. I promise you can relax a little more, nothing's about to jump out at you.

Khan - Star Trek
There is one new arrival who stands out rather starkly against the colors, the lights and the general merriment. The cold does not bother him, or more to the point if it did, he makes no overt show of discomfort.
He simply stands.
Observes.
Waits.
Why was he woken this time? For what purpose?

Khan, who was standing at the edge of the square, a bored predator.

Thea Queen l Arrow
[A loud and almost scary scream is heard once Thea realizes she's not on Pathema anymore.]
Screw you Eros! I'm free of you and your games!
[Once that is out of her system she rips off the collar and asks the big questions.]
Where can I throw this out? And please tell me enforced sex or choking is not a thing here?
[Then a sheepish wave slips out]
Name's Thea, Thea Queen. And does Starling City mean anything to anyone here? [She figured it would be the best way to find people from home.]
----
[Arrival]
[The petite brunette is still wary even without the collar aka the bane of the last year plus of her life. So Thea has every reason to stay under wraps and not spill much about the island, she knows in her mind the island is over but at the same time she's not letting down her guard. But she keeps clawing at her neck, she has to know the collar is gone.]
Has to be a trap...
Has to be a trap...
-----

[Wild Card]
Have Thea will travel!

{OOC: CRAU from Pathema, original canon point is when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul in "Broken Arrow"]
arrival
However Khan has no real intent to spend that much time around the man, at least not yet. There is information to be gathered, weaknesses to be assessed.
Like this girl.
She has some measure of steel to her, but the furtive motions also speak to weakness.
Perhaps she could be of some use.
Or at least some sport.
For now Khan watches. Circling like the bored predator that he is.

Minako Aino | Sailor Moon
[So, someone might be trying her hand at getting some attention... but she currently had one of the sprigs of the winter berry plant in hand as she was making her way through the shopping district. The lights were beautiful to look at, and she was definitely enamored as she walked along. It was a lovely area, really, even if it was a tad bit cold, and she'd managed to scrape up enough credits to get herself a heavy coat, scarf, and huge fuzzy earmuffs.
Care to kiss the Senshi of Love?]
=====
Parade
[A celebration and a party! This reminded Minako so much of Christmas and New Year's back home. She was excited and filled with everyone's energy as she admired the shiny, sparkling floats and danced to the music.
Oh... hi, there stranger! She was taking your hands to get you to dance with her to the crazy music that was coming off the current float! So what if it was different than the one that just past or the next marching band in line! It was still fun!]
=====
Fireworks and New Year's
[The glowing water really added to it, but the whole thing with fireworks and decorated boats just made the evening. Minako sat bundled up on a bench overlooking the scene as she held a hot drink in her hands to keep warm, ooo-ing and ah-ing at the display of pyrotechnic prowess. She turned and smiled to the person next to her.]
Have you seen fireworks before? They're a big thing where I'm from.
=====
Mining
[One of her affinities was with metal, oddly enough, and Minako was kind of curious about this alloy and ore word had gotten around about. So, she was investigating some of the caves and other things to poke around and see what she could find.
A girl has to make money somehow, right?
As ditzy and hair-brained as she could be at times, she was nothing but confident and serious now as she moved around and searched, determined and goal-driven. When she spotted someone else, she waved.]
Hey... have you seen anything good down here?
Fireworks
[It feels like a dumb question, but then he remembers that just about everyone is from different worlds, and there might actually be fireworks-less worlds.]
They were a big deal back ... home. Um, the camp would put on a big show. It would look like a battle. [It's been a while since he's seen them.]

Radical Edward l Cowboy Bebop
[Network: SN Radical Edward]
Satellite from says of old Ed is sure she's taken a very grand scale wrong turn. [This coming from a young woman with a shock of bold red hair and she's quite confused. But outside of some bruises she's in one piece.] For one thing my scooter is missing and second this is not the Europa arrival port.
So did the gates change again or what?
But hi! [Cue cheery wave} I'm Edward or online as Radical Edward. Ed's anetdiver and bounty hunter from Earth!
---
Arrival
[Since Ed does have some of her tech she's speed typing into what looks like a smaller scale version of a laptop, that being the mini version of Tomato she built herself. But her eyes are sparkling, in spite of the weird she is loving this. Space is her home after all. But a look of yuck escaped.]
The food has not gotten better that's for sure!

Wild Card
Have Edward will travel!
Bruce Banner | MCU
[ Aside from the unnatural glow of the water, which he is incredibly tempted to take a sample of back to the ship, Bruce has grown weary with so many natives telling him that he looks like he could use a good soak. Weary enough that he’s taken the time to find the damn springs, strip down, and settle in for what might be the shortest dip on record.
Of course, he’s still telling himself that ten minutes later, because the water actually feels good, so his Guinness Book record is probably somewhat in doubt at this point. ]
[ Network / Video ]
Since it’s the holidays [ and he doesn’t want to admit he’s more than a little homesick, even after everything that’s happened lately ], does anyone who isn’t from Earth celebrate the winter season with any special traditions? Baking, giving gifts. Honoring celestial deities?
[ Shut up, he can be a social scientist if he wants. ]
[ Wildcard ]
[ Have another idea? Wanna run across Bruce somewhere else? Throw it here. ]
Network
Back when I was a kid, though? In the old days my ma used to put an orange in our stocking. It was the Great Depression so that was a lot more impressive than it probably sounds...

Hot Springs
Lea (Axel) | Kingdom Hearts
[Talk about unfair. Here he's been working hard in order to summon a keyblade and now Lea finds he can't even pull that off. Actually, now that he thinks about it, he really can't do anything more than call upon fire really. It's like he knows the weapons are there but all access to them has been cut off completely.
Completely unfair.
Not for lack of trying though. Which is what has led to this awkward moment here in the hallway of the Iskaulit where he's just standing there with his hand out in front of him. Like he's reaching for something only nothing is there. He's so determined before he throws his hands up into the air and groans loudly.]
Oh come on! I had it!
[Life is just unfair sometimes.]
Network
[Well, there's suddenly a whole lot of nothing to do on this space adventure he's found himself trapped in. So what is he going to do? Make use of this communication device they've given him. Might as well, right?]
Surprise, surprise. I'm not the one stuck with explaining all the headache inducing details for a change. But, you all don't have to worry about that because someone else managed that.
[He rests his chin on his hand and looks...so bored.]
What is there to do around here though when you're just floating about? If anyone wants to let me know then the name's Lea.
[And now he smirks, his hand coming up to tap the side of his head.]
Got it memorized?
Iskaulit
He sees the red-hair out of the corner of his eye and something in his chest tugs at him to double check.]
Axel??

Naltryd Albrecht (Warrior of Light) | Final Fantasy XIV
[To say that Naltryd is a fish out of water might be the biggest understatement in the world. While she's had plenty of run ins with Allagan technology, and though less mysterious, Garlean technology, this world is even more incomprehensible. She's sailing among a sea of stars in a vessel unlike anything she'd ever seen before. An airship, yet there is no air outside.
She finds herself wandering the ship known as the Iskaulit, exploring each area of what seems to be the largest of this fleet. It amazes her how a single ship can contain everything from restaurants to parks to libraries to training areas, and more. It's a small city in itself.
One can catch her at any part of the ship, mostly wide eyed and baffled as she takes everything in. At some point, she retires to a bar, sipping at an alcoholic beverage she's never tried before. Even the rum in this place tastes different.]
[B - Iskaulit Gym]
[Being in another world doesn't give her an excuse to slack on her training. For all she knows, the Ascians can make an appearance here, as she still suspects them to be behind this somehow. And she can't possibly return home rusty, expecting to be able to put up the same fight she usually can.
Naltryd moves between both the physical and magical areas of the gym. In the former, she practices moves with her rapier, blade spinning and swirling through the air, the red mage rushing towards and backflipping from targets. In the latter, spell after spell is cast. One can see swirls of wind, cracking stone, bolts of lightning, and bright flames.
While her sword skills haven't changed, there's something to her magic that just feels lesser, and frustration crosses her features there.]
[C - Libuscha IV]
[Though she grew up in the sun and sands of Thanalan, her time in Ishgard during the Dragonsong War had hardened her to the cold. Considering the land she found herself on now, she was grateful for that, even if she had to invest in a thick coat. Her usual garb was hardly meant for temperatures like this.
Naltryd is in awe as she goes from shopping stall to shopping stall, fawning over some of the wares. She'd always loved going to marketplaces, even if she hadn't been able to afford much. And right now, it's the same, but she's happy to just peruse.
Later on, she hears about hot springs, and decides that she absolutely must go. She'd gone to one during a brief break in Kugane and fallen in love with the relaxation they provided. This one is no different-- Naltryd sinks into the steaming water with a content smile on her face. There's more to the water, though, even if she doesn't understand why. A refreshment that isn't just physical. It's as if her mental and magical exhaustion are being relieved as well.
Yes, she'll be in here for a while.]

ranka lee | macross frontier
[The serene, beautiful landscape in front of her is so vast-it's hard to pull her eyes away from the cozy scene, despite the bitter cold that shakes her bones. There's too many incredible, unfamiliar sights and sounds that hold her attention as she moves along. The Frontier was nothing like this. There's so much snow, no matter where her eyes settle and you know what comes with snow?
Ice.
A lot of ice. Sheets of ice. One step is all it takes for her to lose her precious balance, moving this way and that, trying to regain her composure because she's an idol!! She can balance!! It's fine! Except it's not and she's sliding further and further down-
A small hill? Well, this is the worst actually. ]
No, no wait! Ahhhhh!
[And she's definitely heading right for someone.]
Look out!
Jobs
[The restaurant had tempted her in more ways than one. The pay was good, they had some delicious food they were kind of enough to share with her during her breaks, but-
It reminds her of a time when she was paying her dues, before being propelled into stardom. She can still remember how difficult it was to move with that giant carrot around her head. And this time?
The proprietor had mentioned singing and she was into that. Had she known the costume was gonna be-
It doesn't matter. She has to do her best. This is a job and she's gonna give it her all.
At some point during the festivities, you might see a girl wearing this little number, singing about the incredible, amazing deals at this establishment. It's all berry, berry good in her own melodic words.
She's fine. Just buy some tea, please. It's BoGo or something. ]

Mikumo Guynemer | Macross Delta
[Despite knowing that she's no longer in the Globular System, Mikumo still pauses at the bottom of the departure ramp of her ship and stares out at the scenery. Her eyes are lowered as she looks around, pointedly appearing to be nonchalant while she reminds herself that there is no need to be on the lookout for the Windermerean general, both because he isn't there and that he's dead back home.
It takes her a moment to set aside her unease and plant a half-smile on her face as she starts moving again.]
We should be careful. You never know who could be in the woods. [She tosses her hair over her shoulder carelessly.] Right?
Water, Water Everywhere...
[After her initial reservation, the statuesque idol has taken to the winter planet like a house on fire. Being able to enjoy all of the parties and the friendliness of the world's inhabitants without the issue of being mobbed every five steps is still so new to her. She loves being a member of Walküre, but this break has been good for her in helping her to learn more about herself.
That doesn't stop her from going off on her own adventures to discover new things about the places they land. The luminous pools were almost too hard to pass up. Some of her best memories are on Ragna with the other girls, but she does love her alone time. While the weather on this world might be cold, that doesn't stop Mikumo from stripping down to a skimpy bikini and stepping into the shining water as if it's nothing more than a warm bath.
The sound of shuffling that could only be the footsteps of another person has her looking coquettishly over her shoulder and smirking.]
There's plenty of room to join me. You don't have to be so shy.
Wild card
[OOC: Hit me up with anything. I can be reached on plurk,
So Much Water
And that's how she more or less stumbled into Mikumo giving her a smirking, coquettish look. Naturally Mirage's first reaction is to fluster.]
Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't think... no, that's alright! I'll just... go this way now.

Quatre R. Winner | Gundam Wing
[It was probably safe to say that Quatre didn't particularly like snow. He was more of a warm weather person, having been far more fond of the desert than the mountains. But he's also nothing if not up for an adventure. Bundling up as much as he could with how little his current finances allowed (never a phrase heard from a Winner) and now he was out in the city.
He walked at a leisurely pace, taking his time to look at all of the buildings, talk to as many people as he could. Clearly, it might take him a while to actually get beyond the city limits]
Ice Caves
[This was beyond anything that Quatre had ever seen before! It was amazing. Okay, so maybe cold weather did have it's benefits when it could make something as pretty as this.
He walks slowly through the cave, admiring it from as many angles as he could. This certainly was a good place to just come and walk around. It was a good place to think]
Arrival
Oops! She bumped into you, Quatre! She was a little distracted by the sights, after all.]
Oh! Sorry!
[She gave him a little bow.]
I didn't see you there!

Noctis Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV (AU)
1: ANew Ship
[It was disorienting finding himself in a completely unknown place (but not unfamiliar; that was even odder how he couldn't see what was around him but his brain somehow told him he wasn't on terra firma anymore), and then just as he'd gotten used to the first new place, he was suddenly in a new place! And there was some sort of...welcoming something-or-other which just added to the confusion. What he could hear gave him little context as to what was actually happening, but he was fairly sure confetti was involved; he could feel that.]
Uh...what?
[After that, he's started the process of mapping out the ship. By touching everything. Walls, tables, people...er, he hopes that's someone's arm and not a fixture of the ship. At first glance, he seems relatively steady on his feet and isn't using much for support, so it's not unsafe to assume he might just be odd.]
2: B'lire Monster Hunting
[Going on hunts is harder when it's impossible to see what one is hunting. But the prospect of money and a lack of anything else to do has led him on this hunt. At least he has a partner.]
So we're after a...weeping woman, right? Easy enough, doesn't sound like something that can sneak up on us.
[Assuming she's constantly crying, anyway.]
3: Libuscha IV Gift Giving
[Noctis didn't have any gifts. He didn't know the natives well enough and didn't have much in the way of money anyway, so he was just passively enjoying the festivities. Someone apparently thought he needed something anyway, though, because a mystery person grabbed his hands at one point, pressing a small, lumpy cloth bag into them.]
Enjoy!
Hey? What did you--?
[He opens the bag, tipping part of the contents out into one hand and carefully feeling them. Animals?]
4: Wildcard!
[Throw something my way! Or hit me up on plurk @
Gift Giving!
And he's nice to Kaname.
That's all Mikumo cares about.
When the gift-giving ceremony starts, Mikumo slips the bag into his hand and waits to see his reaction.]
Do you not like them? It's so hard to know what others will find pleasurable.
