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!

Murderbot has invited Klaus to its cabin to demonstrate a new Sundries gift it’s received. The message suggested to wear something comfortable.

(It has not, at all, thought through any of the implications of this invitation.)

Murderbot opens the door in one of its comically oversized (even on it) sweatshirts and a pair of sweatpants.

"Sundries did that thing where it altered my physiology, again. I'd like to demonstrate for you. If you'll get on the bed?"

...yeah. This is. potentially the door to an awkward situation.
serialskiller: (snarky)

"...for fuck's sake." It rolls its eyes. "I purr now. When I am comfortable and around someone who I feel safe with."
serialskiller: (conversational)

"Above the covers, under the weighted blanket." Which is fuzzy and navy blue and smells like chamomile and lavender.
serialskiller: (wtf)

Murderbot slots in quietly as big spoon. Shhhh, just don't look at it and ignore the snuggles.

"There are...a few others I'm comfortable being at rest with, besides you." A tiny pause. "That's okay with you, right?"
serialskiller: (negotiating)

"I am not going to throw myself off the side of the ship. There are too many people who would be sad if I did that."

And it recognizes just how big a sentence that is. Just how much that means. People like it.

"Would it help if I had a drone with you? Who you could talk to when it's hard?" Murderbot has the ability to be everywhere at once and it's not afraid to use it.

It settles in a little more, forehead resting against the back of Klaus's head, relaxing.

Hey bro, how's the --

[Well he was about to ask how the cold turkey alcohol thing was going but he's about to be assaulted by carrots, too surprised to just smack them away.]

The fuck?

"No."

Nobunaga is still getting used to this word addition in his vocabulary. First off, there isn't really one that straight forward in Japanese. And secondly... Nobunaga specifically doesn't get to go around telling people "no." It's so final. Like never ever ever. BOUNDARIES.

But he just kicks the chair down into a footrest, cuddles Klaus close, and very tightly holds him around the waist.

"I have a book to read to you. But we're not doing any bars yet. Not for you. It's for me."
serialskiller: (wtf)

"You two were fighting during the trial. Are things...better?"

Its arm draped over Klaus tightens slightly and soon the rumbling begins. Low, rhythmic, thrumming that can be felt as easily as heard.

"Have you been allowing Watson or Tendi to monitor you?"
theweakhavepurpose: (Everything goes to hell)

Has it been? I guess I didn't notice. At least there's still food this time.

[He looks down at the poor carrots that were defeated by his shirt.]

Guess I should check for carrot induced injuries.

"You're not used to thinking straight without chemical influence yet, and Nobunaga seems impulsive. It doesn't make for the best planning processes or thoughtful action." It's totally judging both of them just a little bit. But not enough to stop purring or cuddling.

"Hey. Listen to me. If you stumble, we'll help support you doing better next time. You don't need to be perfect from the beginning. You just need to keep trying."

There's a promise buried in there somewhere.
