Notes: Are you friends with Klaus? Please assume you got a text about their sobriety. Ilu. Thank you.



1. Library

It’s been…a time recently. Klaus has been doing his best to avoid any establishments with drinking. It’s kind of deprived him of Disney movies and…well…any movies, but it’s fine. He’s gotten used to the idea that things are sort of out of reach. Sure, there’s been a lot of weird stuff happening that he can’t explain recently, but that’s gotta be like…ship stuff. Like a whole piano came to life and tried to eat people. Why wouldn’t a bunch of papers start flailing around in a weird pattern? Sure, he was feeling a little frazzled, a little frustrated after having dropped something because his hands were shaking too bad for him to hold it, but…maybe the papers were just mad?

What do they know?

Speaking of not being able to hold something that well, they are staring very hard at their cup of hot chocolate, which is still very hot. They don’t want to get burned, but their hands are definitely still sort of shaky.

When they pick it up, they at least manage a couple sips without burning their mouth or dropping it. But as they go to set it back down, it falls, nearly ending on the floor except that suddenly it’s back on the table???

Klaus stands up and squints at it in confusion before looking around. “The ship is getting so weird these days.


2. Pool

Watson said to consider exercise and the pool and so Klaus is here to try to take advantage of it. He’s got Under the Sea stuck in his head at the moment, which is forcing him into a better mood.

This good mood sort of turns into a state of pure bewilderment as the pool floaties they’ve brought out start to dance just above the water to the tune, going in a circle, as they hum a little while getting ready to get in. Of course, they drop almost instantly as he seems to notice them. Confused, they hum the song again, but nothing happens. “What the hell?” Okay. Just weird ship things. Guess this is the vibe this month? Weird stuff?

3. Windjammer

Forcing themselves to eat is one of those things that’s just kind of happening. Klaus doesn’t really want to question his craving for baby carrots. It’s just one of those things. They need something that feels simple and probably won’t upset their stomach, right? Sure. That seems fair and accurate.

They are absolutely focused on grabbing more carrots and eyeing the garlic bread from afar, so if anyone comes up behind them, they are getting pelted with baby carrots, or the peas or…whatever else is at the veggies part of the buffet. Not that it seems like Klaus has thrown them. Mostly they seem to have thrown themselves from the buffet at whoever is behind him.

If they’re confused, so is Klaus. What is going on with the ship this month?

4. Promenade

Klaus is supposed to be avoiding these places and...really...he is. He's avoiding them. Mostly. It doesn't stop them from just sitting here and staring at Hurikane very intently from a bench in the middle of the promenade. Their hands are clenched around the seat of the bench, white knuckles obvious if you look. They are very purposely not going over, so that's...that's not nothing??? Probably. He's very obviously not paying attention to anything else around him.

It's only when he goes to stand up, very nearly deciding to go to Hurikane (but not wanting to) that a chair close by comes clattering in front of him and he looks at it in confusion for a moment. "What is with this place? Seriously." But on a more serious note, it might be time to phone a friend.

Hit me with whatever you like~ If you wanna run anything by me, my plurk is kingdonkey and otherwise, discord is kingdonkey#6187. This is just some random telekinesis shenanigans, but it can be anything else if you need it!

"How dare you mock my medical condition," Ava points right at Klaus, trying to look annoyed but failing.

And she's definitely planning on preparing them a taste test to prove just how good certain flavor combinations are with the cocoa. But for the moment, she lays back into the canoe. And kinda regrets asking this question at all. Even Pratt had said he hadn't wanted to know more.

"Weirdness..." Ava doesn't sound particularly convinced by that wording, but it's not really Klaus's responsibility to justify or explain any of this. Just like it hadn't been hers to defend what happened with the trial, and she closes her eyes. She was just hoping Klaus might be able to clarify that it was a misunderstanding, given Pratt was self-proclaimed brain soup. "Guess we're all sorts of fucked up here, huh," she replies instead of pushing for further details.

"Only because I caught it from you," Ava retorts with a huff. Her arm reaches through the side of the little boat and splashes water back in the direction of Klaus's voice, though her aim is completely blind since her only view from this angle is of the sky.

"Yeah it's just a lot to think about. What sorts of people we all are under different circumstances. Have we really changed or is it just the opportunities haven't aligned yet to show what we really are. I don't think anyone would like me much, if they encountered me back home..." And she certainly wouldn't have been all that friendly.

She sighs though. "Him and Yato both got on my nerves. I wasn't feeling particularly great, after everything. And then they kept... being all insistent about the wrongness of what happened as if I had anything to do with it or had any way to change what happened or their minds over it. They seemed to care more about that than how I was even doing."

"All foods have effects," a head tilt! "You've never noticed an energy boost, or your mind feeling clear after tea?"
dolcedeleche: (Return to where you came from)

[personal profile] dolcedeleche 2023-01-25 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, food gives you energy." Dolce just closes her eyes... and gives up for a little bit. How can someone see GHOSTS and not see the most obvious thing that everyone knew? It's best not to question it. Because once she does it goes right back to 'Klaus is secretly a ghost.' Because ghosts didn't get energy boosts from food, after all. But she figures the ice cream might work against heat and provide resistance after all.

And then it occurs to her... "Wait. Do you not understand the resistances applied by your clothes either?" Just like a ghost. Pure aesthetics to him!
dolcedeleche: (as if)

[personal profile] dolcedeleche 2023-01-25 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Oooooh you don't!"

Dolce shakes her head with a small tsk. "Every fabric has different magical properties. Obviously, it requires you to be able to use them in the first place, but take my silk hat, for example."

She takes it off her head and shows him! "Very simple, really easy to make, but offers basic head protection and fortifies the mind against low level spells." She sets it back on! "Of course, a really talented magic user can enhance the most basic recycled materials, you don't always have to use gold or platinum, I never do." Because where the heck would she get it? She doesn't mine, okay. "Do you really just pick things out for their aesthetics?" Just like a ghost! "Even though the weight alone makes such a difference in how you move?"

"There are," a firm nod, "Fortunately you don't have to be aware of them for them to still work. It doesn't really work for ghosts, but some of the patterns can still work psychologically. Colors, designs, all that."

Man poor Bash, he's been having a rough time and I don't remember why. He told me but I mostly forgot, something about someone telling him that he was no good for Jeff. Which is bullshit - they're gonna be a power couple on this ship. They're both so damn hot....

Did he hold your hair back while you puked? Because that's the number one sign of true love right there. But that's awesome, you guys are good for each other. Assuming he actually listened to you and didn't just demand you get better or something.

"You mean you're capable of being more annoying?" Ava teases lightly, scooting over to allow Klaus to get in with her. "Now we're still literally in the same boat," she points out lazily, brushing a strand of hair out of his face.

"Do you want to tell me more about what happened...?" she asks.

"Yeah, fucking mood." Erin sipping her coffee here would go a lot better if it was whiskey but the gesture is the same, and she won't be so crass as to say that aloud. "You've got me in your corner, even if usually I'm only good for listening."

Erin looks around the coffee joint. "Nothing else seems to be moving so far but that doesn't disprove anything necessarily. Could just be haunted by a shy ghost."

"I don't have a cow, but if I did it would have more honor than you," she claims, rocking the boat just the slightest bit just enough to be obnoxious, but not wanting to jostle Klaus too much with the whole detox thing. A delicate balance of not actually trying to cause suffering.

"Any of it..." she offers, not wanting to over direct the conversation.

"Bash will be able to prove or disprove it either way. Though if it's like a poltergeist sitch maybe relaxing has helped?"
theweakhavepurpose: (Heyo)

Yeah it was, [He scrunches his nose up as he tries to remember what Bash said.] someone he.. got in a fight with? Who went off on telling him he was abusing Jeff somehow. I dunno who though, because at first I thought maybe Chase, but he said it wasn't Chase. Also fuck Chase. Unrelated to that, just in general. What an annoying prick....

Heeeeeey. That's all good shit! Look at you all mature and adulty. And damn, good on him for being a decent dude. The world can always use more decent people so that's fantastic. You guys are good for each other. I think anyway, not sure I'm ... my one really good relationship I totally fucked over so maybe my advice is trash. But at least I know what not to do. And neither of you are doing those things so that makes it good. Pretty sure.

"Ew, don't do that. I'd get taken in by weird rich white people looking for tax write offs and social clout." And yet still not quite as bad as being taken in by SHIELD.

"Did he ever clear up what he meant by that, then?"
