WHO: Reeve Tuesti, OTA
WHERE: Around Agrii Ship
WHAT: The Trip Home, Planning for Temba, and the Adventures of Mini-C (Early Sept Catch All)
WHEN: Journey back to Agra 10
WARNINGS: N/A I hope
A. Peanut Butter Jelly Time | Mess Hall | OTA
Reeve had a dirty little secret, one that had him returning to the Mess Hall with a strange regularity for a man who often forgot meal times. He was a man of expensive restaurants, Wutain and Mideelese takeout, and aged bourbons. He was a man who had once grown up on a farm, so most of his food was so fresh that it had been on the plant the day before. He was a man who stayed up late and lived by the liter of coffee.
Reeve Tuesti's dirty little secret?
He loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Judge him all you would, but while others might find the sandwiches jarringly discordant, looking like one thing and tasting like another, Reeve loved it. Currently he was seated at a mess table while Mini-C played with Agrii another table over, halfway through his second sandwich. The first one had looked like a grilled cheese. This one looked like and had the consistency of a chocobo salad sandwich. And damn if he doesn't look half blissed out as he takes another bite.
"I need to ask the Agrii to leave us a supply of whatever they make these sandwiches from," he mused aloud. Damn, now if only he could have a milk shake of this!
B. Engineering Marvels | Engine Room | OTA
The engine was beautiful. Reeve had been staring at it for an hour now, looking at the data that was darting over a number of screens, wishing he could read it. But mostly, he was marveling. If there was technology like this on his world, Mako never would have been a thing. If there was energy like this readily available in Temba, they could all live more comfortably. If there were engines like this on their ships, they could probably go a bit faster.
None of which mattered now, he supposed. What mattered was understanding it. And in the moment, he supposed he had to act. With a sigh he pushed off of the wall that he'd been watching the Agrii from, and almost immediately one of them approached him and offered over a belt with tools like they had. Of course they would do that.
The people were strangely considerate for beings that had kidnapped them and put them into a lot of trouble.
"Thank you," he said, knowing they would understand. He gestured for Mini to stay back, worried that the doll would get himself into trouble, before advancing on the engine core. Not the one they had before, from his understanding. Of course, his attention wasn't on the core itself just yet. Instead he opened a panel near it and lowered himself into the recessed space filled with all sorts of cables, wires, junction boxes, and the like.
"Cid would be so jealous of me right now. I wish I would remember the story to tell him," he laughed, shaking his head.
And then, of the room in general, he posed a question. "Anyone got a flash light? The backup light in the space that should come on when the panel is off seems busted. Guess we should start with replacing that."
C. Adventure Time | Halls near the Green Room | OTA
There is a downside to being a inanimate object given a soul by someone with weird magic. The downside was that humans had to sleep. Living beings had to sleep. Mini-C? Just a doll with a soul. He didn't have to sleep. So when his companion had fallen asleep in a corner of the green room with a bench, not even bothered by the Agrii that kept slipping in to look at him, well, Mini had to find something to do. Sure, it was nice sometimes to be there when Reeve needed him, snuggling in to keep his maker from being trapped in his nightmares, but that wasn't needed on naps.
Which was why Mini had toddled out of the Green room. The Agrii were of course interested in the doll, how could they not be? But they learned quick, Mini was learning. All he had to do was hop and point toward door controls and they would chatter happily amongst themselves before opening the door for him. It was really easy.
That, of course, was how Mini came to be wandering in the halls outside of the Green room, poking around and exploring. And, in this moment, trying to force open a panel. Which was hard, when his little paws had no leverage.

And then looks up and up and up. Ah. Ah. Very, uh...
"Oh my. Uh... Yes. Please."
no subject
Curious, he peers into what Reeve is examining. "Is something broken? I gotta admit, I can't make heads or tails of all this, here. That's always Tony's role."
no subject
"He's not the only tech-specialist," Reeve observes as he takes and tucks one energy rod somewhere away from conductors to give him light. The other goes into a holder on his work belt. "And yes, there are things not operating the best they can thanks to the Graq attack. I am repairing the issues."
no subject
He leans over a little more and gives a low whistle. "It's pretty amazing you can make heads or tails out of all that. I don't even know if the Agrii understand it." He knows the look of confused but awed appreciation. He's seen it in the mirror a lot and now he sees it on them, too.
"Is this gonna make it...fly better?"
no subject
"PErhaps it will, perhaps it won't," Reeve muses, looking up at the other man and he smiles just a touch. "I'd offer to have you down here to join me so you can see how I'm improving it, but that would put us in such close quarters."
no subject
Still, he crouches down and smiles back at Reeve. "I can hand you things if you need, though? I'm looking for a distraction so if I can be helpful, I'd love to lend a hand."
no subject
"Well, you sure look distracting, but I am certain I can make use of you if you want."
no subject
And it occurs to him what Reeve means all at once.
"Oh. Oh." Okay. Alright. This is...somewhat new. Tony would flirt but it would be in a joking way. This was... Different. New and. Yeah. Different. Steve's face went red as he leaned back, overcompensating for his balance and nearly tilted onto his ass in the effort.
"Oh, no. No, I didn't... I'm not... Well. I mean, no. I am. But. And... I mean, thank you for... That. Saying that." His blush just got worse the more he messed this up.
Steve forced a smile and gave Reeve a friendly, light punch on the shoulder. "You're swell looking, too."
Swell looking. Jesus Christ.
no subject
Swell.
"I've made you uncomfortable. Forgive me. Normally I'm a bit more... restrained with my statements. You're just not what I was expecting."
no subject
no subject
"Many of us have looked differently throughout the span of our years. Humans are inherently works in progress."
no subject
He snorted at the thought of it. Part of him wished he had a picture or something of himself from back then. Just so he could show it around and see the reactions it garnered.
"Ah. But I am probably keeping you from your work. I should get outta your hair..."
no subject
Oh, he's going to pry. And be less shocked by the ugly duckling to beautiful swan story. It was common in the Soldier program.
"You're not. You're providing me a welcome relief from listlessly looking for things to do. But if you're busy elsewhere, I do not wish to take your time up unnecessarily."
no subject
He scrubs at his face a little and just ends up sitting on the floor. "This is a pretty welcome relief for me as well."
no subject
"I think Cloud would be upset were I to hover. So trying to help is all I can give."
Still, he's glad for the company. "Could you get me the spanner."
