[OPEN] Newcomer Getting His Sea Legs

Who: Six, OPEN
What: August catch-all
Where: All over the ship
When: All of August
Warnings: Six is a former mercenary assassin who only recently quit the business from his own perspective thanks to losing six years of his memory. He's also never had a vacation before and has quickly decided that they're overrated.


[Wandering Around]

The best thing to do in unfamiliar territory is to scope out the situation. There really aren't many places to stalk around here (surprisingly enough) but things are so spaced out that he isn't sure if there just aren't that many people on board overall or if the ship's even larger than he'd originally thought. Or both.

He eyed each new place warily, eyes darting about the space behind the sunglasses. He didn't trust any of this nonsense right now, to be honest.



[Gathering Necessities]

He wasn't sure if he should be insulted that the tacky clothing shop had so many green suits in his size. However, with no way of getting his combat armor back that he could see, the slightly-familiar suits would do.

With a couple of extra suits in hand, time to gather the rest of what he absolutely needed.



[People-Watching]

In trying to learn more about the ship itself, it was equally important to learn about who was on the ship.

Six could sometimes be found on the outer fringes of an occupied open area, watching people coming and going. It was probably a bit creepy...not that Six would be bothered by such a thing.



[Meeting the Roommate (Private to Prisoner Number 6)]

The doors to the cabins were heavy. It made sense given if water had flooded the room, the space would need to be sealed off before flooding the rest of the ship. At least it'd be easier to tell if someone was trying to break in.

He looked around the space, seeing no one else but clearly seeing evidence that he wasn't going to be alone now that he wasn't being more or less dragged about to the safety drills.

"I'm relieved to hear that you, at least, have some sense." Because there sure are some people on this ship that already told him he ought to be looking for love and frankly he has much bigger things to worry about.

"It seems that our priorities are well enough aligned."

"I don't know about relationships like that one, but there seems to be an abundance of couples aboard. I suppose, for some, companionship eases the strain." Not for him, though. He won't let himself be trapped that way.

shh, it's fine

"Not everyone is accustomed to isolation. They don't know better." They don't realize that relationships create liabilities.

"I suppose it can't be helped. This ship is too small to avoid creating some kind of attachment."

Back to practical concerns. He likes Six as a roommate already for that.

"There are two pillows. Take one. And you can choose between the top sheet or comforter. I don't require both."
be_seeing_you: (conversational)

okay to wind this one down here?

"That's agreeable to me. Try the Sundries Shop. It might have something."

A pause, and then he adds. "Unless there is anything else, I will be going out again now."

"I'd be worried if you didn't," he says with a slight smile, before turning to leave.

That could have gone worse. Very well. He can live with this.
