I. Topy | OPEN

Maeve's decided to celebrate - rather tamely, but still a celebration - her return from the ship with a drink and some crafts. She's gotten quite a few art supplies from the craft place at camp. She wasn't sure what crafting supplies existed on the ship outside of potentially paper. So now she didn't have to worry.

She knew, somewhat, that the Captain knew a lot about them, but now she's seen it first hand. It wasn't a lot, but she gets the feeling he was just throwing a touch in to show her that he did know. She's uncomfortable with the power held over her. So she's sipping at her whiskey, trying to enjoy the fact that she is not dead while also trying to figure out how to address the truth of home.

But tonight she's focusing on something a little less troubling and trying to have fun with it. Even if her art is, well, quite unfortunate.

She's working hard to try to sketch a picture of Hector's hat. A little something of his she could hang up or at least keep in her room. She looks up as someone enters. "Care to join me? I figure we're all due for a drink and some art." Even if they did just do a week's worth of arts and crafts already.

II. Deck | OPEN

Maeve wants some sunlight without the blinding sun of the pools. So she's taken to the deck. She walks for a little while before pausing in a spot of sunlight. She feels much like a cat, just taking it in, hands on the railings.

She's quietly humming a song from the Mariposa. She doesn't quite know the name, but she remembers the tune of it and it reminds her of a time before everything seemed to go sideways. She misses not knowing in a way that she can't quite explain, but that doesn't mean she'd go back to being an unknowing puppet. It's just easier to not know. Ignorance really is bliss.

III. Wildcard - If you have another idea, hit me up or surprise me. You can really just go for it. She's going to be out and about all over. You can find her in Tauva overthinking or in the hottub or the pool with fruity drinks. You can message me on discord at kingdonkey#6187 if you have something particular you wanna run with.

She nods. She is still quite human. That doesn't change what happened. But she can't fault his anger over it either. She's still angry about it. If she could have burned the entire place to the ground with every person from Delos inside, she would.

"It's..." She sighs. "At least she's safe now. I can't speak for anything else. But at least she's somewhere safe." She'd show him if she could, but that's not possible. "But I need to get back to her. Somehow. I'm not sure how all the same."

It feels like a pipe dream some days, something so far from her reach that it will never happen.

"Guess we gotta figure our way out of here first." He frowns, mouth twitching down thoughtfully.

"That might be one of the biggest problems we got."

[millay]

There's a nod. "I think it's a problem we're all working on...but it feels like a pipe dream at the moment." Like it's constantly just slipping through her fingers.

"But I hope we can figure it out somehow."

[justneedsomehelp]

"Yeah... Same. Plenty of people who want to leave." And some who seem quite content to stay. Considering nothing-- good is waiting for him back home, he might not mind it so much. Staying.

He just doesn't want to say under the thumb of an asshole who pits them against each other.

[millay]

Maeve knows Sharky doesn't want to leave. She's sure there are others. "Hopefully it will be something we figure out eventually." She's sure back home won't be great, but she can't let go.

"But in the meantime, we can make ourselves possibly just a little bit annoying, you know." With their terrible art pieces hung up all over the place.

[millay]

Maeve grins. "Yes. Exactly." And she's going to hang so many terrible art pieces.
