rain

Chrissy likes the rain, honestly. So, it's not odd to find her out in these short bursts of rain sprinkles lying on the ground and letting the rain fall on her face and the rest of her (she can change into dry clothes later, after all), or even just walking in it, or if she's feeling extra silly — trying to catch raindrops on her tongue the way people do with snowflakes. Despite the damp ground, she also stretches out her limbs with a few cheerleading moves on occasion too.

Overall, it feels oddly refreshing, but she chalks that up to the fact they've been away from here for a while. So, you know, feel free to join in on her fun out here, or ask her what the hell she's doing.

hotel

Spending most of the last few months in ships or on spaceports and the like, Chrissy has missed the room she'd claimed in the hotel when she arrived here. And, while they were on the spaceport, she'd bought (among other things) some cute things for her room that she's slowly putting where it needs to go. Fairy lights get hung up, wall stickers that look like ivy vines get stuck on, an inflatable chair that is both very pink and very glittery gets set up in a corner.

She's doing all this with her door open and a playlist of her favorite 80's music playing (not loud enough to be a real disturbance to people, though). Anyone is welcome to stop in and chat, or wonder about her decoration tastes.

wildcard

( 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. )

He thinks he gets it. "Well, I guess there aren't snowflakes here." He turns his face up towards the rain. "I do like it when it rains. It smells nicer."

[ephemerios]

“Smells nicer, peaceful in general, sounds nice..” She could go on, but doesn't. Instead, she asks, “You've been okay lately?” It's a good idea to check on people after events as of late.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Better than I was on the planet," he admits. "How about you?" He gives her a little smile. He's really starting to care about all these damn teens.

[ephemerios]

“Better is good! Obviously. All the adventure was a fun change of pace most of the time, even if I did feel wayyyy in over my head a lot, but I was starting to miss it here, so I am glad to be back. I feel like I need some dull back in my life.” She'll see how long that one lasts.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Dull sounds great right about now," he says. "Do kinda miss the food though." But he'll also just eat anything.

[ephemerios]

“Are you one of those people who visits places just for the food?” She's slightly teasing.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Of course I am," he says proudly. "There's a lot of things that I'd like to try still."

[ephemerios]

“No shame in that. When and where are you originally from, anyway?” Sometimes it's hard to keep track.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Brooklyn, and uh- well, I was born in 1918. But when I'm from's more complicated," he says, smiling.

[ephemerios]

Interesting. She would NOT have guessed that. "Try me? I've seen so many weird things here. And heard about them." She's not sure much could surprise her still, which she's very wrong about, but hey...

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Uhh," he responds, sheepishly. "2018."

Yep.

That's strange, right?
