action ; open base mingle

[octoroom]

It’s been about a month or so since people started arriving to this world and onto the base—a month of shenanigans, exploration, danger, angry sealife and other things. In this still-small base, there’s all kinds of things that characters can do so, therefore, consider this an all-purpose base mingle post.

prompts:

→ i. it’s a fixer upper
[In the wake of the Aurora explosion, there were quite a few things that needed repairing. Even then, the base itself is by no means complete, with limited room and not even rooms for each and every person. Luckily, there aren’t all that many living in the base! Yet.

But, there’s always something to do. Are you helping with repairs? Trying to decorate the base somehow? Building something new that can add to it? Perhaps you’re one of those in the laboratory, researching what species that this ocean has to offer. Hopefully nothing else is blowing up.

Or are you just standing around, staring wistfully out at the ocean and not contributing at all? I mean, that’s fine, but…]


→ ii. catch of the day
[How’s that seafood? What? You have no idea how to cook it? Well, then.

It’s probably like sushi, where you can eat it raw, right? Or maybe you’re one of those bringing back fresh supplies to the base. Possibly still wriggling around fresh supplies. Can you actually (miracle of miracles) cook some of the fish/other things that are probably fish so that they don’t taste half-bad?

If all else fails, just munch on some seaweed. I hear it’s nutritious.]


→ iii. it’s like a giant sleepover
[Surely there’s nothing awkward about cramming yourself into one of the ‘free’ rooms around the base with your air mattress and curling up there. Have you set out a space for yourself? Found a nice spot where you’re usually alone but uh-oh don't count on that for too long?

Perhaps you’d rather just sleep in the hallway to avoid drifting off near others.

Maybe you just don’t sleep at all or you prefer roaming the base when it gets dark. Nightmares about sea creatures can be a doozy.]


→ iv. choose your own/wildcard option
[What else has your character been doing? Go wild!]

(These prompts are loose so you can make your own prompts for people to tag out of them. Make headers, tag around, use this post for whatever you like!)

[Certainly the living quarter in this base is pretty messy right now. While Lancer can sleep anywhere and in any condition, sharing it with loads of people actually makes things worse.

and you know, there's some times when you just suddenly wake up in the middle of the night just to find that your little tummy is screaming out loud for food. So wrapping himself in his blanket he starts to walk across the hallway, not observing his surrounding of course. As he walks on suddenly he does trip on her legs and falls down on his knees.]

Ouch! That hurts! What the heck did I just step into?

[It is dark. He can't see clearly but two legs spreading out and he starts to look where it leads. A body? Wraps in blanket? He's not sure but it looks like a zombie or a ghost. and it starts moving as well...]

Wh-whaa? What are you?!

[Certainly nighttime makes his brain works a little differently. What a kid.]

[pseudoll]

[Goodbye, restful sleep...

But that's one way to wake up. Being blind, the darkness of night can't really bother Yin, but as she thinks about it, it probably doesn't help to make her look harmless. At least, that's the only way she can understand why whoever tripped over her seems to be so scared of her...

She's a tiny girl, okay, she knows she's probably the least threatening thing here.]

Yin. I'm sorry for tripping you. [It comes out flat and emotionless, but she's genuinely sorry.] Are you alright?

[bluespearmanofthewind]

[Wait a second. Her voice sounds normal. Lancer, being fully awaken because of that shock, shakes his head and pulls himself together. As he observes her more, she does look small, innocent girl as she is. It's going to take a while for Lancer to realizes that she is blind, however.

He feels bad tripping over a small girl, so he tries his best to look friendly.]

A-Ah.. Well I'm fine. Sorry, I should've watch my steps a little bit more.

[The weird thing is, Lancer does not sense any emotion on her side. What is she?]

[pseudoll]

[Lancer probably looks perfectly nice and friendly, but it doesn't do anything to change Yin's countenance. Of course, she can't see it, but even if she had, there isn't much that can change her expression anyways.]

It's alright. I shouldn't have stuck my legs out. [She tucks her legs back in under her, but after this, she's not so sure it's really a good idea to try to sleep out here...]

[bluespearmanofthewind]

[She's so... emotionless. Is she even human? Lancer tries to get closer and figure out what she is, but she seems to be very human. At least on her looks. It's pretty vague but he's pretty certain.]

Debatin' bout this ain't gonna get us anywhere. Don't ya try to pick another place to sleep? I mean, there's a lot of people wanderin' around here ya know.
