| 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. ] |

002 - e [Feb. 15] (although maybe it can switch into gravity failure or power)
And that was before everything went to hell. Now with power failures, gravity failures, and door failures, Maes was lucky if he made it out of the resident hall at all. Still, he was trying, because he was NOT about to stop exploring as many places as he could on this ship.
It was just so BIG though, and there seemed to be a new deck or a new hallway every time he went out. Still, he WAS doing it systematically. It wasn't going to be easy, but he was determined -- even with the power failures -- to carry on in some capacity. Which had led him to an idea he wanted to follow up on.
So, on the 15th he could be found browsing the lounge area at the end of one of the residence corridors. Maes was carefully running a finger along the edge of the books on the shelf and pulling down anything that looked remotely related to the topic of "outer space."]

Instead she does a lot of what she thinks of as "patrolling" in a sense. Really, she just keeps her eyes out for anyone seems to need any sort of physical help. It's the most she can really do, which actually does seem to come in use when things keep breaking still. She has a strength run slapped on with some night vision, and both have come in handy in the past.
While wandering, she can't help but notice the way Maes is carefully looking through the books and making a pile of them.
She tilts her head, watching as he looks for more. ]
Building a personal library? [ She teases. ]
no subject
Research. I wasn't planning to necessarily take them all back, but a guy has to start somewhere in understanding all of this.
[He set his latest find on top of the stack and held out a hand. Hand shakes were still a thing, right?]
Maes Hughes.
no subject
Glad to see you're up an about. [ She smiles as she shakes his hand. It's a little odd to her, but she's still young. She doesn't mind though. ]
What are you trying to research?
no subject
Yes. I remember you. Nice to finally meet you in person then.
[Once the handshake is done he stands back, he certainly doesn't look quite as pale any more.]
They can't keep me down too long -- especially not with all of this stuff to poke around at. [He glanced over his shoulder at the books.]
Well...good question. I started with books on space in general...then I started pulling books on space travel and gravity. Not sure I'll actually understand any of it, but it seemed liked a place to start...
