[ Phoenix reached out to Duran first (possibly after they made it through their list of people to talk to) and eventually invites Gingham back to the Disorder. He grabs something for them to drink in the kitchen and then moves to - ]

[ - well, for Gingham this is new. It's the new addition to the Disorder that happens to look like a crappy looking breakroom with some candy machines and a run down arcade machine. Avoids the more comfortable couch to take a place at their run down break room table and puts the drinks down. ]

Hi. Thanks for stopping to meet us -

Oh. Right. Gingham, this is Duran. Duran, this is Gingham.

[ awkwardly taking a seat and Not Looking at Either of them probably. ]

[glancing around the area, interested, before he looks towards duran and gives him a little wave and smile]

It's nice to meet you!

Hey. Anytime. [ he's leaning against the arcade machine and offers a small smile and wave to Gingham. ]

Same.

What can I do for you two?

[ Smiles a little before settling into his chair and pulling his drink to him. ]

Um. Okay, so we were going to do something, but it needs a bit of an explanation?

And it's something we agree we should make other people know about is happening because it might be something stupid or it might be something dangerous?

[ glancing at gingham. he's not Good at this, apparently. ]

Um - we're hoping it won't be dangerous. We're kind of assuming it won't work, but just in case, we wanted someone from both of our Families to have a heads up if something happens.

You've heard that the boat is alive, technically, right? We want to try to talk to it.

[ Gingham has Phoenix practicing things like thinking ahead about doing something potentially dangerous and properly letting others know about it, what? Damn, that's amazing. ]

Unless you have to go somewhere really dangerous in the ship to do that, it doesn't sound like a bad idea to try at all.

[ sometimes your au is learning not to be impulsive teenagers and to learn to talk to adults and that's whack ]

That's what we thought? And we're totally prepared for it to be nothing, but there's the chance it might be something.

And we're still working out where? We have a couple of ideas.

But um, there's still a chance it might not be physically dangerous... but it might be mentally dangerous.

[ For either of them. It's half a segway. ]

Yeah. So... On the off chance something does happen and we need help getting out, we thought it would be smart to make sure someone knows where we are and how long to wait before coming to try and help us out of there.

[ Duran nods after a moment seemingly satisfied with what they're thinking. He doesn't even feel a need to offer his own input. ]

All right. Who is the contact in your Family? [ he asks gingham. ] That's probably something worth knowing on my end, as well.

[ he'll let gingham answer first before offering! ]

... Gray and Frost know, too. And will come if needed, but we wanted to keep it you guys for obvious reasons.

[ hopefully obvious reasons ]

[to duran's question]

Satin. He's really trustworthy.

Satin, got it.

Gray and Frost, all right. A Siren and a Cirrus if I remember, correctly?

[ nods a little ]

Right. They were people who could help us put together a list of stuff to ask.

[Sometime after the announcement that the boat is going to dock but before Other Things happen, Duran will get a message sent his way.]

Hello, I hope today finds you well.
It seems we're to be returning to Port Manteau soon, and I was wondering if I could possibly convince you to spare me an hour or two of your time before then? To catch up a bit, or just to chat about nothing important, whichever you would like.

Always have time for you. I'll clear my schedule just let me know when's best for you and I'll be ready to hang out and shoot the shit on whatever your heart desires.

Edited 2025-03-17 21:23 (UTC)

Thank you for your generous words!
And thank you in advance for me taking you up on that by saying we should totally meet up out in the hall in like an hour or something equally unreasonable.

Heh! Very unreasonable. You got it. I'll be there.

See you soon, then!

[And true to their word, Rose will be waiting out in the hall in front of Forge's door so they aren't blocking traffic to anybody else's cabin.]

[ he does show up on time, offering a wave as he approaches. ]

Hey there. Where to? You get to pick. Or we can just walk aimlessly.

Hello to you too! Let's see, I was thinking we could walk about aimlessly in the gardens while we talk, if you aren't opposed?

[ (ooc: I'm so sorry for delay.) ]

Mind if we stop by the Lounge on the way? Been itchin' for some iced tea, and sounds like a great thing to have while on a garden stroll.

Edited 2025-03-29 22:20 (UTC)

[(ooc: No worries!)]

That's quite alright with me! We can pick up some snacks as well, and make it into a picnic if we find a particularly nice corner of the gardens we want to enjoy.

Honestly, sounds like the best idea to me.

I'm liking the sound of it more and more now that I've said it, too. One moment, let me slip back inside and get us a basket for our prizes.

[Since they're still right by the dorms, Rose will get to that. Duran can come with or stay out here.]
