♤ The spaceman says everybody look down, It's all in your mind

WHO: Cayde-6, his crewmates (Ren-Ren, Kitty-Catra, Dapper Cap), and whoever else!
WHERE: Aboard the Starduck, over the communicators
WHAT: SPACE TRIP...?! It's been anticlimactic so far and this Exo be bored Cayde they just started
WHEN: Beginning of the trip
WARNINGS: N/A, will adjust as needed.
NOTES: Will match preferred style as tagged. Feel free to make your own threads! Shoulda thought of saying that earlier but you know, hindsight all that stuff



Finally, he's been able to get aboard a ship. He's not really disappointed either; the Starduck's a swanky little thing. Maybe a little over the top. It's fine. Over the top is fun.

He's still been quite adamant about not touching the datapoints, not that it keeps him from trying to do things without them. Probably no one aboard will notice the extra singing about the edges of his hood, and he's had worse to the face when the Agrii "death tool" had bit back. It's nice having a metal head.

Naturally he would have made a beeline for the cockpit, sat himself in the pilot seat, and would have had to be shooed away for the actual pilot to take the controls. And so the next spot he'd be found in would be the bunks, where he's totally laid claim to the Captain's because it being the only single bed, was the most obvious choice.

Lying with arms folded behind his head to stare up at the ceiling and not the underside of someone else's bunk, it serves to keep him entertained for maybe a while unless someone challenges him for the bed. He's willing to give it up within good reason, but if no one complains, this is where he's keeping his stuff.

If it was hard to keep track of the time on the Agra 10, it's even harder on a ship out in space. Thus the question he voices, both aloud and over the network that he assumes is still connecting them to their buddies aboard the other ships, he poses the ever eternally important question:


are we there yet?

Really man? It's been like an hour. We have a ways to go.

[Says the guy monitoring the network, looking for anything to preoccupy his mind. Thanks Cayde for this distraction.]

Afraid so.

Makes me wish these things came pre-loaded with games. I could use some Candy Rush right about now.
hulkintraining: (77)

that was supposed to be candy crush. wow me.

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2020-07-27 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
In the future we should definitely stash a deck of cards in each of the ships for times like this.

No. It's a mobile game where you match up three of more of the same candy pieces to try and clear each level.

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2020-07-27 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I mean. I would play with you if I had a deck on hand.

It would be a bit awkward doing it over video, but you have to adapt in extreme situations.

Yeah portable and single player. And crazy addicting.

This trip would go so much faster if we had access to mobile games.

They're the ultimate boredom killer.

We could try that. Or even come up with a game of our own. That could be interesting.

Yeah. I'm definitely not the guy for that. But maybe someone else could figure something out.

Let's see. Our pilot is Bucky. He's the only one I really know. But the others are Jonathan Sims, Chikai Kuji, and Raphael.

You know any of them?

Well they say two heads are better than one. It's worth a try at least.

I'm not sure. I haven't seen much of either of them. Been kind of keeping to myself.

Catgirl. Oh. Catra, right?
Steve Rogers?
Not sure who the haircut guy is.

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2020-07-27 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I can try checking in on him if you're worried?
As for me, I wouldn't say I'm really used to space travel.
But it tends to happen from time to time in my world.


[And that's not counting the times people have tried to kidnap him into space.]

Not sure. One of the pilots might know.

Well if it is him then Steve is a good guy. One of the best really. He's not the version of him I know from home, but when I met him he seemed just as cool.

Catra and I met during Calibrations but it was a bit of a weird situation.

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2020-07-27 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Got it.

Yeah I would have thought they would have picked a place a bit closer.

Eh, it can be. But here it looks like we only have people from two versions of our common world, mine and the one Steve is from.


[He's not aware that his pilot is from another version of Steve's universe, making it actually three distinct versions, but alas.]

Yeah but when I met her she was a kid. Like a young kid. Not a teenager. So that makes it additionally weird.

Maybe seeking out Cap wasn't healthy for either of them.

It was in everyone's best interest that Tony gave them plenty of space when he knew someone had vanished, as Jon had put it, from the already fragmented lives they were pretending to make here. He still managed to make a mess of it with Sansa and Tommy; handling other people's emotions with grace just wasn't one of Tony's many talents, clearly, he barely understood his own when people weren't actively dying (was that the accepted terminology for what happened to them? Not publicly, anyway), except obviously they could, at any second, just.

Vanish.

Jon's delivery of the news was so cold that Tony didn't want to even try messaging him just to get more of that. What he did know, very well (maybe not that well, this wasn't even the Steve that Tony knew back home) was how Steve mourned, and that they had done plenty of that together already, and that Cayde should have someone reminding him to feel like an asshole for willingly vanishing himself without backup. He climbed into the galley of the Starduck far more casually, naturally, than those intentions, taking in the hardware with a frown, not sure how he was supposed to feel about the colder design of his own ship. Hanging onto the bulkhead where he stood with a hand sealed in a dull, grey gauntlet that had matched the aesthetic of his own ship much better and was making him feel under-dressed now, Tony scratched thoughtfully at his beard then announced more to himself than the crew, "Housekeeping." He was wearing his toolbelt, his hair, grown unruly without proper professional attention, pinned back out of his eyes with a clip at the top of his head, like he really was there to check the pipes.

All we can do is hope for the best. I'm sure all of the pilots are doing what they can.

Well from my world there's Billy, Tommy, and Tony Stark. And from the other universe is Steve, Wanda, and Bucky.
[So many Buckys.]

Well no. But you at least looked like yourself in your dreamspace thing.
It made running into her afterwards a bit of a surprise is all.
hulkintraining: (I won't just stand here)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2020-07-28 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Same here. If anyone has ever had a problem or some kind of malfunction with them I haven't heard about it.

Well my world is heavily populated with hero-types.
I guess you could say they struck bank with us.
And yeah, all of us from my world definitely are.

There was the man he had been looking for--for about a lunar cycle, it felt like. The time since the tunnels had been pretty eventful for Tony, and he didn't even have Cayde blowing something up to blame that on. He offered a tired grin in return, grumbling, "Am I just in time for hair washing day?," about the towels before he pushed himself away from the doorway to greet Cayde with a fraternal bump of their metal fists. See, he had missed the good shit, Tony had new toys.

"And here I thought you were to blame for the ambiance. Is this not your style? You seem like a real crystal knobs sort of guy. I bet you have a claw-foot tub in here." With his more fleshy hand, Tony gave a tug near the collar of Cayde's hood, eyes narrowed slightly in appraisal. No one on his crew might have noticed his new detailing, but Tony had a running log of when Cayde's lights seemed dimmer. None of it was helping him solve his puzzle, but it was an extensive observation.

Practical wouldn't exactly be how Tony described Cayde, either, and he let his head tilt with a skeptical smirk before he was sliding his inquisitive hand around the Exo's neck to drag him along through the galley until Tony released him to sit himself on the Starduck crew's table. From there, he could turn his assessment to the wall of what could be generously alluded to as a food preparation system, pouting like he might consider ripping it out for Cayde's weapon rack in its place. "I'll take a tea, thanks for asking," he said as though that calculation had just been a reading of the limited menu.

That the singeing wasn't even from Cayde's werewolf retreat but the result of his encounter with the latest new thing made Tony watch how he moved more carefully, not surprised that Cayde was shooting himself in the face at the first opportunity, but studying like he could read what other trouble he had been getting into out of sight in his gait. "What were you messing around with those for? You're strapped already. Don't tell me you trust what the Agrii are offering any more than that."
