if you'll be my star, i'll be your sky


Who: Pollux & OPEN
When: August 24
Where: Around the place!
Summary: Arriving on the boat. Castor where?

1.) but you can skyrocket away from me
arrival, early morning, dining room.
( with a paper in hand and the location set, she stares at the peculiar spiral that hardly helps her situation. normally, she'd lift her head and turn to face her counterpart curiously to converse about this strange sigil, but that's not the case this time. he's nowhere to be found in a (un)familiar place, but this isn't the first time she's been on a ship so she's stuck between a sense of relief but also worry. it is unlike her brother to be apart from her, he's almost like the responsible one by wanting to stick by her, but an uncomfortable feeling dawns on her as a tingling feeling rolls down her back. she feels incomplete, and for a moment she finds it difficult to breathe as she tries to catch her breath and remain stable. pollux closes her eyes, taking in a deep breath, and regaining her composure almost complete as she focuses on the paper in hand. )

Dining room, if that's all I have to find, then...

( everything should make sense. all she has to do is push her way down the halls, take a few turns, and it settles in the back of her mind that she's going in the right direction towards the dining room. the time written is unknown, and so she just has to trust herself that it means to come as soon as possible. what else would a cryptic message mean if not having the answer that she desires, so upon entering the room and spotting no one; pollux finds herself at a loss until she notices someone sitting at a table all alone.

her eyes light up, her mouth part in a small gasp as she walks over and places the paper on the table before them no different than a dealer laying out their cards. )


You must be who I was looking for, are you... my Master?

( because that person would know where her brother is. )
2.) and never come back if you find another galaxy
afternoon, photography room. IMPT: threadhop permission for castor, y/n?
( browsing up and down, side by side of all the pictures around, pollux finds every picture to have their own charm to them. humans in their natural habitat on a ship as they relax happily, or if they're being threatened by some foe. she believes that jason too should have something as nice as this, but being so dated back, they didn't have the concept of cameras so it's nice in practice. hm, perhaps someone could have drew the scenes and placed them there?

there's one photograph that stands out to her, causing her to reach out to pluck it off the wall in order to inspect it properly. what she has in hand is just a simple snap of a thunderstorm outside, and the clouds a murky grey that shows that good sailings weren't in favor of the boat's travel. unable to remove her eyes from it, she glances around curiously. )


Excuse me, how much would this photograph cost to take with me. My brother'll pay a hefty sum!

( yeah, she's talking to you. )
3.) far from here with more room to fly
afternoon, calgona. IMPT: threadhop permission for castor, y/n?
( she should familiarize herself with the ship and it's various locations, and it brings her back into the mind of the old days when she sailed with jason and his group along with her brother. there was nothing short of excitement on the ship which always offered her an amazing surprise, and that's why she's intrigued here just as well. it seems the calgona is enough to lift her spirits despite the rocky morning she had suffered. clapping her hands together gently, she proceeds to read a board of all the activities that can be found in the room.

while she could be normal about this and take a massage, she opts out in favor of something enjoyable when she notices someone close by come up to the board as well. )


Are you interested in a place like this too? It'd be a decent place to spar, don't you think?
4.) just leave me your stardust to remember you by
anytime anywhere, wildcard.
( got something you want to do with pollux, or both of them? just hit me up through dms, discord, or even [plurk.com profile] sakasaki )

Please do! I'd be honored to meet her!

[ And what sorts of stories would she be able to tell about her siblings if she were here? Pollux and Castor were happy to share tales of her kidnappings, so who knows what fun stories she'd be able to share in turn?

That Castor doesn't care to find a second picture for himself, any additional meaning to that whooshes right by Shi Qingxuan. It's fine if he doesn't want one, too—but it would be too lonely for Pollux if she's the only one to pick out a photo! So, he turns to look at the display once again, searching, until he spots something that make his eyes light up. ]


Oh! How about this one?

[ He snatches it and holds up the picture in his hand, showing an image of the ship rocking sideways on a stormy sea, tilting under strong winds and raging waves, illuminated by streaks of lightning. There's a glimpse of Friday's figure there on deck, but there doesn't appear to be anyone else in the image. ]

Since you two told me about your sister, then let me tell you a few stories about Lord Wind Master's brother, too. [ He's quite pleased and proud of himself here, all energetic and beaming. ] There's a little place a few decks up that has small bites. Shall we go up there for snacks?
