| 001. ❚ just pretend it's a disco party. with cats. ( 2/14 - locked to wash ) [ This isn't exactly how Clary planned to spend Valentine's Day. She had plans. She had plans for a reason actually, but that's beside the point. She was going to go to a show later that at the ice rink and see figure skating live for the first time. She was going to meet up with Wash and get all the things she needed for her new cat she was going to pick up. Then everything just goes sideways. Literally. They're plunged into darkness, and Clary is pretty certain the sci-fi armageddon she had joked around about was actually going to start happening. Her nyx rune kicked in almost immediately, and she took out her witchlight to give herself more light. It took longer than she cared to admit to to get around, though she's thankful that she wasn't in a room when this all went down. All rooms seemed to be locked as she floats past them. ] Okay.... maybe this is normal.... [ She grunts to herself as she reaches the ceiling with a thud. She groans slightly, turning to wedge her fingers against anything that will give her leverage. She was already on her way to the shelter... Maybe Wash will know something. At the very least she needs to check on him. So with little else to do, she launches herself down the hall, trying to reach the shelter and Wash to help if he needs it. ] 002. ❚ heading down a long path ( 2/15 onwards ) [ As things start to level set on the ship, Clary does her best to wander and try to help where she's needed. After all, she has all these runes and she's no good at tech things. She can try to save people, though, or get them better help if necessary. Really, she just needs something to do to feel as though she's contributing, and there's no use going to work in this environment. She can be found in various places around the ship. a. Maybe saving someone from floating away when the gravity stops functioning again or b. guiding people through the dark when power goes off? c. There are plenty of places to run into her to get help throughout the ship, and she spends most of her days wandering around looking to help anyway. So asking her for assistance doesn't seem like it'd trouble her. d. There's also the potential to end up trapped with her somewhere. Sometimes these doors don't quite work right... If no help is needed, though, Clary may just approach your character. e. She seems genuinely concerned about how you're doing, even going so far as to sit with your character and ask how things are going. She wouldn't mind some friendly conversation, and she seems intent on starting it with someone. So if you need a distraction, she's ready and willing to chat. ] |

Eventually, after getting into his armor, he manages to get to the shelter. Maybe it's a foolish priority, heading down to check on animals when who the fuck knows what's going on with the ship, but those animals are his responsibility and Wash isn't a man to shirk responsibility. If he was, he'd have kissed the Reds and Blues goodbye a long time ago. Figuratively. Definitely not literally.
It's outside the place that he runs—floats into Clary. The motion trackers light up on his helmet's HUD before he actually sees her, but he's got the armor's lights on. It's not long before she's in range of them. ]
Clary! [ Hanging onto a piece of bulkhead with one hand, he lifts the other in greeting. ] Clary! It's Wash!
[ Because he's wearing a helmet and he doesn't want to freak her out. ]

So when she spots him, it's just as he's found her, and lets out a heavy sigh of relief.
She lets her propulsion from her last push take her nearly the rest of the way too him, grabbing onto the bulkhead to avoid running right into him. ]
Wash! I was hoping I'd find you here. [ She holds her light up carefully so as to see him better and not blind him all at once. ]
Is this normal? Do you know what's happening? [ Should she be expecting space to go like this, or is her near panic completely justified? ]
no subject
Not that I know of. I've been here—[ He pauses for a few seconds as he calculates the time. ]—about two months and this hasn't happened before.
[ It would be nice to be able to say that he thinks it's nothing, but Wash isn't very optimistic these days. It probably isn't nothing. It's probably something. And with his luck, something awful. He doesn't say that, though. ]
I heard that a ship exploded. I'm not sure which one or why it would knock the power out of this one, but maybe that's got something to do with it. You hear anything?
no subject
Still seems pretty bad.
She shakes it off, then shakes her head a little more firmly. ]
I haven't heard anything yet. I was on my way to come see you when all of this hit.
I didn't really know where else to go... I still don't really know my way around this ship well enough.

[ He keeps his voice calm. It might be a catastrophe. It might not be. Either way, he knows that panicking isn't going to help the situation. Not when the gravity's shot and the power's out. ]
Once we figure out what's going on, we'll make sure you know your way around, okay?
[ Too little to late for right now, but if there's ever another emergency—and if they don't die because of this Wash assumes that there will be—he hopes she won't be so at a loss. Nodding toward the door to the shelter, he slowly makes his way over to it. ]
Came down here because I figured the cats could use a little help. Want to teach them how to handle zero-g with me?
