temba

Being here for what felt like all of five minutes before going on what also felt like the longest space roadtrip ever meant there hadn't been too much time to explore around much of the planet they all supposedly spend most of their time. Might as well get reacquainted(ish) with it, in case they get pulled right back into some shenanigans elsewhere in another five minutes.

In Temba, this means hanging out in some of the more frequented areas (like the diner, etc), especially if they have good seating areas where he can often be found writing in a notebook. Otherwise, it's a lot of seemingly aimless walking around, occasionally poking in some of the empty buildings.

sh'ka

Checking out things in Sh'ka soon leads to him to the area where the overgrown forest is. Which is probably way cooler if you have the agriculture data point and can identify stuff here, but whatever, it's still nice. Something different to do that's a relaxing break from the whole lot of everything lately. Hopefully it's not big enough to actually get lost in but apparently that's for later-him to worry about.

( put a random starter down and I'll roll with it, or hit me up via PM or discord — since plurk is being awful about notifs as of late — to hash a thing out. )

Cheryl's eyes flicker away in discomfort - Jughead has it, in one, and now they both know it - then she looks back to him as she admits, "A lovely girl I met here, and I, came up with a possible ball game. We're both cheerleaders, so I suppose it's only natural we want something to cheer on."

She is, of all things, making friends. Slowly. A little bit here, a little bit there. But that's a major improvement in her life in general, and perhaps not actually something she would be doing at home.

“That's very you.” Not said as a bad thing, however. If anyone was going to find another cheerleader here, it would be Cheryl. “Who would have guessed finding more people to recruit as River Vixens was as easy as landing on an alien planet?” A little more of a joke, because, obviously, this was not easy and was very convoluted.

It's also just how Cheryl deals. Why mourn in peace when she perform and get noticed while she mourns?

She laughs, a little.

"If anyone is going to recruit on an alien planet, it would be me," Cheryl points out to him. Nothing is going to stop her when she wants something, it's that simple.

[serpentigena]

“Anyone else could try it, but they would suck at it.” You know, unlike her. Because, yes, it is that simple, nothing and no one could stop her. Plus, there were definitely riskier things to try, so if he doesn't immediately have to worry about the only other person from home getting into Some Shit, that's better anyway.

maybe wrap and something new for July?

Wow, he is just being so nice to her, and while they're both serpents now, so maybe that's it, Cheryl still has to peer at Jughead for a moment.

But then, if she as here alone, before him, she can only imagine how glad she would feel to run into someone from home, the relief that would give her. It's the only reason she stops and doesn't give Jughead a hard time about it, yet.

"You're right. They would. So this requires my personal touch."

Sounds perfect 🎉

[serpentigena]

It can be both things. She'll probably figure that out soon enough, but for now she may just have to be at least slightly confused by it.

"Then you should probably get to planning that one."
