Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:20:04 AM)
*Octavian is again perched at the bow of the ship. This time, he's sitting on the repaired railing, feet dangling, smoking a cigar*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:22:04 AM)
*Serendipity had been... around. Quite literally, she'd been running around the ship all over the place, doing a little bit of everything as she reaquainted herself with Everbright. Though the last hour had been a bit... quiet.. no scuttling mouse, none at all.. though as Oct's feet dangled over the railing he'd feel the little flicks of water at his legs*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:22:41 AM)
*confused Sidhe face!*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:23:12 AM)
*more flicking water at his feet*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:24:47 AM)
*he leans over a bit, keeping firm grip on the railing, peering up and down the length of the ship*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:26:13 AM)
*She ducked under the water again before surfacing again and splashing his feet with more water* Come in!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:26:37 AM)
It's...like....fifty degrees out. You're nuts.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:26:58 AM)
Nu uh, far more cheese than nuts. Remember, peanuts bad

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:27:13 AM)
Get out of there. You'll catch your death.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:27:45 AM)
But I like swimming and the bathtub's too small.. *She swam around before she started searching for a way to get up.. jumping IN was easy, the getting out part.. well.. that was different*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:29:25 AM)
But the bathtub isn't barely above freezing. *he sounds exhasperated. Absolutely exhasperated. But he shifts, tossing a length of rope down to her*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:32:22 AM)
*She grabbed the rope and began pulling herself up. By the time she got up to the deck she was shivering, fully clothed, tailed wrapped around herself and ears pressed down on her head as her teeth chattered* It wasn't t..this cold b..before..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:35:05 AM)
*He sweeps his (Sidhe quality!) coat off, bundling it about the pooka's shoulders, all but carrying her inside the conferance room, and flopping her into the seat closest to the little electric heater there* What were you thi....no...-were- you thinking?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:37:32 AM)
*She burrowed down into the coat and peered at him as she'd pulled the coat up so only her forehead, eyes and a little of her nose peeked up at him* Uh huh.. I was thinking .. 'look! fish!'

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:40:08 AM)
*He shakes his headm moving over to fiddle with the coffeepot setup* Tea or coffee or...wait, lemme guess...cocoa?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:41:30 AM)
What's worng with cocoa? Do you have something against cocoa?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:42:35 AM)
No. Just excersizing my fortune telling. *he says, and a moment later he's pushing a mug into her hands...Cocoa....and super extra marshmallows!*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:43:45 AM)
*She grinned at the marshmellows as she drew the cocoa into the coat and stayed burrowed up, sipping happily as he could notice the slight wiggle of her tail*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:47:44 AM)
Do you feel dead? *he asks, throwing himself into his seat and reaquiring his cigar and taking a long drag*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:48:21 AM)
Why would I feel dead? *There was a sniffing noise from inside the coat before she spoke up again* Your coat smells good

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:48:55 AM)
Thank you...I think?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:50:06 AM)
*She giggled* Have you ever noticed that the more time people spend with pooka the more they answer things in questions.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:51:23 AM)
It's a conspiracy.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:52:37 AM)
Shhhh, if they find out you know I'll hafta kill you

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:55:02 AM)
Oh. Sorry. *he sips the coffe he'd made for himself* What about now, feel dead?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 2:56:02 AM)
*She sneezed suddenly and then yelped* Ow! Spilled! Ow!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 2:58:26 AM)
*he sighs, rises, digs up paper towls, and moves to help her clean up.*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:01:11 AM)
*She stuck her tongue out at him as she took the offered paper towels to wipe herself off* I'm not a baby, and stop sighing so much!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:04:03 AM)
Sorry. It was kinda rude of me *he murmers, flopping back into his seat*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:05:31 AM)
You're -way- too serious. *She chuckled and crawled over to hop up into his lap and grin at him before covering herself up with his coat and sandwiching herself between him and it* Mrr

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:06:55 AM)
I....what? *he asks, then seems distincly uncomfortable as she occupies his lap*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:07:39 AM)
Yup yup, too serious. *She mumbled from under his coat and giggled*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:10:19 AM)
...And here I thought I was laid back for an elf *he mutters*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:11:05 AM)
Well, comparitively yes, but yanno, there's the whole thinking you were being rude when I teased you. Silly elf.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:13:23 AM)
...Better safe then sorry.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:14:21 AM)
*She was quiet for a moment before Octavian may begin to realize one of his buttons was getting played with*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:17:39 AM)
What are you doing? *he asks, peering down at her*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:18:51 AM)
*Still covered with his coat, he gets a slightly mouth-full answer* ..nuffin.. *Though he distinctly feels his button being played with, his shirt slightly pulled up from his chest and if he's listening intently perhaps a bit of a gnawing sound*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:20:57 AM)
Damnit, girl. Those are metal. You're going to chip a tooth.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:21:26 AM)
Aww, but they tasted yummy.. *She started searching through his coat, huffing a bit* I can't help it!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:26:50 AM)
Did you gnaw all that cinnamon I gave you already?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:27:32 AM)
*She peeked up at him and nodded, ears swiveling down and eyes going rounded as she pouted at him* Uh huh..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:29:07 AM)
*He sighs, this time making it playful* I think the carpenters who were working on the ship left some slim sticks of pine just outside the door in here...

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:30:23 AM)
*Her ears swiveled upright and she peered towards the door, then him, then the door, then bolted off his lap to scurry out and find said sticks of pine. Padding back in she had one in hand and was already gnawing away at it*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:31:26 AM)
I'll need to see about making some kind of automatic gnaw-machine..thing..

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:32:56 AM)
I can't help it.. *She pouted at him as she hopped back up into his lap and continued gnawing*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:33:55 AM)
*he pokes at her a bit, testing her for dryness, then bundling her back into his coat. Which is now soggy*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:34:54 AM)
*She shivered slightly and eyed the poking, then huddled back up under the coat and smiled faintly*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:35:47 AM)
New rule: No swimming unless Captain says it's ok.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:36:19 AM)
*She SULKED at him, full on wide-eyed, sniffle-faced, sadness filled look*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:37:04 AM)
Not counting the bathtub or indoor pools.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:37:55 AM)
*She looked like someone had just cut off her tail, chin quivering as she sniffed*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:40:04 AM)
*he shakes his head* Nope. Immune to pouting pooka. New rule stands.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:40:15 AM)
... I'm going to steal all your buttons

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:43:09 AM)
That's fine. Rule still stands...and then you'll spend all your free time sewing buttons back onto my clothes.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:43:23 AM)
No! *She sulked, arms crossed over her chest*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:44:05 AM)
I'll leave little mice presents behind for you. *She pouted at him* This isn't fair, you're not supposed to be immune!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:44:27 AM)
Don't test me. *he says, flickers of Sidhe anger in his tone*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:44:41 AM)
*She sulked and pulled his coat over her head again* Fine.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:46:17 AM)
Better. *he mutters, sounding a little sheepish*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:46:27 AM)
Meanie..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:47:28 AM)
Only when I have to be, Serendipity.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:48:04 AM)
Well why'd you hafta be mean to me? I didn't do anything bad, I just gnawed a button and then you all went 'no more swimming' but I like swimming and that's not fair.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:48:27 AM)
You don't like me.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:49:25 AM)
I didn't say no more swimming. I said you have to ask first. *he says, ignoring the like comment, or maybe just missing it*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:49:53 AM)
*She grumbled* That takes all the fun of being spontaneous out of it.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:51:03 AM)
You could ask me if it's ok to swim, for example, later today...then, if I say yes, spontaneously swim sometimes that day.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:51:21 AM)
*She grumped a little bit* Stop making sense!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:52:56 AM)
Hurgable Bloorgle.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:53:18 AM)
*She giggled suddenly and peeked out at him* Did you just say hurgable bloorgle?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:53:59 AM)
Maybe. *said with a straight face*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:55:37 AM)
*She reached up and poked his nose*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:56:52 AM)
*his nose twitches* Careful. Might get bitten.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:57:13 AM)
*An eyebrow lifted, oh, a challenge. His nose got poked again!*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:57:50 AM)
*He does nothing*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 3:59:06 AM)
*She grinned at him and poked his nose again lightly*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 3:59:50 AM)
*He does nothing...at first. Then he takes advantage of her position and tickles her mercilessly*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:03:16 AM)
*she squeaked sharply and began squirming around as she laughed helplessly, writhing about under the tickling*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:04:15 AM)
*And then he bites her. On the shoulder. Before lifting her and settling her into another chair so he can get himself more coffee*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:05:59 AM)
*She squeaked suddenly and then just blinked at him as he set her down, confused and clearing her throat as she fidgeted*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:06:53 AM)
*His coffee refilled, he settles back into his seat as if nothing happened* Are you feeling warmer, One?

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:07:08 AM)
... yep.. warm..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:09:45 AM)
Dryer too? *asked as he reaches over to tug on one of her ears, affectionately*

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:10:07 AM)
*She wiggled her ear a bit and peered at him, then down at herself* A little soggy.. and poofy

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:11:45 AM)
I noticed you were still sleeping on a bunk. Why? *he asks, after a moment of pondering* I would suggest you go change, but it's -freezing- in the crew quarters....No sense heating an empty room.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:13:38 AM)
*She furrowed her brow curiously* The bunk is where I stayed before.. where else would I go?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:14:57 AM)
*he rises* C'mon. I'll take you to your room.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:15:24 AM)
*She hopped up and poked her arms through the sleeves, wearing his coat as she padded after him*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:19:58 AM)
*Down into the bowls of the ship he goes...well, one level. Into one of the three full rooms at the stern of the ship. The rearmost -and largest- is his. But a smidge forward of that is where he leads her. The first officer's quarters.* Here...I'm pretty sure I moved most of my stuff out already..*said as he crouches to adjust the little steam-heat-vent so it starts warming the room*..but if I haven't, just throw it at my door there and I'll get it later.If you grab your stuff I'll help you get settled.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:22:05 AM)
*She poked her head into the room and peered about, head tilting somewhat as she slowly nodded and then turned and bounded away. She returned not very much later dragging a duffel that was likely as big as she was*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:24:56 AM)
*He makes a soft, dissaproving noise, and moves to scoop the bag up, carefully settling it to the bed so she can unpack* You're an officer now. You need to think of yourself as one.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:26:56 AM)
There's no one to be an officer to. At least not yet..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:28:40 AM)
Well, that gives you time to practice. No one ill ever sign on unless they respect their officers first...so it's pretty important we act like officers people want to serve under. We're not like the real military where you can't pick your commander...we're volunteers only

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:29:53 AM)
Um.. how ... do you expect an officer should act?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:32:56 AM)
Think back to how your officers acted. Apply variance for pooka habits.

Serendipity Jones (Jan 15, 2011 4:33:44 AM)
Well.. *She furrowed her brow and mrr'ed*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 15, 2011 4:35:28 AM)
Basically...when you give your word, keep it. Try to always do your best to do the things you think are right. It's best to lead by example, so if there's somethign you think your crew should do, you do it first. if you think your crew should behave a certain way, behave that way.
