This is a catch-all post for contacting Sheena in driftfleet. Please note the date of the intended message and the method in the subject line of your comment. This includes communicator calls, in-person visits, packages, etc. Thank you!
[W o w, that's rude. Clay is plenty smart! In... some areas.]
I'm going to ask them too; I plan on getting enough to at least get our whole crew another set of clothes before we go! Kiddos get the clothes first, but might as well ask you for future reference. [And Clay himself will be last, because he's fine with what he's got for now. Besides! Captain's more important to the mission.]
[Omg, Clay you nerd. She's blushing. Thankfully, it's on audio so he can't see it.
People aren't nice to her very often.]
Oh, okay. That's fine, then. [She clears her throat a little, tucks a bit of hair behind her ear. She's currently trying to reinvent macaroni and cheese.]
I like purple but nothing really beats black for utility. Then again, I doubt my ninja techniques will be that great out here in space...
Hey, who knows? You could be the world's - er, universe's first space ninja! I'm sure you'd be awesome at it. [Scribble scribble - ] So, purple and black. Got it. Anything else I need to know?
[ jade is just going to send this to the whole ship individually, likely just a few minutes following her arrival. might as well try to get started off on the right foot, yeah? ]
hi there! my name is jade harley, and it looks like i am going to be a backup pilot on this ship for a little while :p im still not entirely sure if the vanquish is going to be my final destination or not, but... i am glad to be here right now, and i really look forward to meeting all of you!!
[ HAHA wow that feels awkward, but. she's doing her best, okay. ]
[Sheena's actually on another ship at the moment, whoops.]
Oh! Welcome aboard! I'm Sheena. I'm the captain, so if you have any questions, I can... try to answer them. I also cook most of the meals. Our kitchen's pretty basic but we make it work.
Sorry I'm not there right now. I'm on my way back from visiting someone. Flying a shuttle means I need my hands.
[ her voice is bright, cheerful, but also young. she's definitely a teenager. ]
I don't know if I'm gonna be staying around here, honestly - my friend is on another ship, and I kinda wanna stick close to him if I can, buuuut I figured it would be pretty rude to not at least introduce myself, since I'm gonna be here for at least a week, right?
[Sheena feels herself soften immediately. She spent a lot of time in the company of teenagers on Exsilium, and she's just barely not-a-teenager herself...]
You found a friend? That's great! I considered doing the same thing, actually, when I found mine-- but I ended up being appointed captain. Responsibility and all.
Yes! Um. We were actually both stuck for a while in a place kind of like this - [ nothing like this at all, save for the whole "dragging people in against their wills" aspect ] - aaand it kind of looks like we're the only people from there or home here, so.
[ -- she wants to keep him close, is what it pretty much boils down to. ]
Do you enjoy it? Being captain? [ pardon her if she's a little nosy, sheena. ]
I have some friends from my world here, but there's only a few who remember Exsilium. One of them is the guy I was traveling with. [She's dating the one she's closest to, but she doesn't... volunteer that information.]
Ah, enjoy it? [She sounds unsure of herself.] I'm not sure. It's just a responsibility. I'm a chieftain-in-training back home, so I'm used to leading a group of people, but not on a ship. Not in a military sort of... way. The only real difference between captain and crew is that I get a cot instead of a bunk bed.
I'm working really hard to be someone that people can trust, though. That's important.
[ jade's voice gives way to a quiet, thoughtful hum. it's pretty clear that she likes sheena's answer, and her tone is a little softer when she does answer. ]
We don't know. Not specifically. A few days before I got here, there was a huge attack on the Fleet. No ship made it out unscathed. No one died as far as I know, but some ships were out of commission for a while.
The way things are set up make it so that having a specific job makes it easier to protect your ship. So if we all work together, we can make sure we get out okay.
Well, what else am I gonna do with it? Shampoo my phantom hair?
Ha. Don't have to imagine. [He was in the exact same situation before he lopped off his hair. Constant fights for shampoo, it's rough] I'll take a few bottles for myself, then send the rest of the crate over. It's technically for redheads, but I'm sure it'll work fine on other colors.
Yeah. It's bad. And people who wear it are the type who douse themselves in it, because they don't understand something called moderation, or that people need to breath.

Wh-- what?
[Clay's the last person she expected to be a pervert BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.]
Why do you want to know?!
no subject
I've got enough money - uh, chips, to get a set of clothes, and I wanted to get some for you. Favorite colors would be good, too!
no subject
Ah... That's nice, but-- don't you think you should take care of yourself and... Sonata and Megumi first?

People seem so close here.
[ this is not at all a complaint. ]
no subject
Yeah. Well, you kinda have to be when you're spending months living with strangers. We all have to depend on each other to keep the ship safe, too.
no subject
Safe from what?

Hey Sheena!
Its Lloyd.
Me and Kaneis were thinking about going to get some piercings.
You wanna come with us?
Text, 5/10
Nope, it is.]
How many Flanoir Potions have you had?
Text, 5/10
We don't even have any Flanoir Potions.
Why?
no subject
I really have to see this. Count me in.

He figured it would be a good way to cheer me up.
[ gotta give credit where it's due. and quite frankly? it worked. ]
But thats great! I'm really excited!
We're gonna get them tonorrow.
Colettes coming too by the way!
no subject
It's gonna hurt a lot. Good thing you have us girls for moral support!

My ship's full of girls with long hair, so you can imagine how fast the shampoo runs out.

I didn't know red hair required a special kind of shampoo. Soap is soap, right?

[Nevermind he doesn't sleep]
But seriously, I didn't know either. I think it keeps colors from dulling? Or it's just a marketing ploy to charge more.

[I'm sorry your girlfriend is from the Tethe'alla boonies.]
Probably the latter. I'm surprised it doesn't say Lezareno on it.

[Girl no, just no. Stop.]
Please. I like you too much to give you Lezareno products. Get any of their beauty stuff, it's going out the airlock.
[ESPECIALLY the colognes, goddess why Regal what is wrong with you]

Wow, is it really that bad? I avoided their stuff because I could never afford it.
