( CLOSED ) a glorious planet tucked in the far reaches of a mostly unknown system

[avicula]

WHO: Emil (unluckynumberseven), Maes Hughes (dadandgone), Thor (worldsaway) and Dutch (avicula)
WHERE: Bajikan and the moon Caritas
WHEN: March 8 to March 16, most likely
WHAT: The volunteer team heads down to the planet and tries to get the materials needed to get the fleet running again. In the process, secrets and desires are revealed, magic happens, they fly to the moon and back, and tempers may flare.
WARNINGS: Sad backstories, secrets that probably involve violence, possibly sex and actual violence.

[The shuttle has been filled with an uneasy sort of feeling since they left that awkward audience and made way to the next one. Everyone has withdrawn a little, it seems. Suddenly they all know each other quite well. Unfortunately, a little better than any of them probably wanted to know one another.

Thor does worry for Emil, even if he doesn't seem particularly put out. He seeks him out and moves to sit beside him, mostly so he knows he has company even if he isn't desperately in need of consoling.]

You're a brave sort, aren't you?

[unluckynumberseven]

Me? Really?

[Emil rolls over and sits up, brushing himself off. He definitely doesn't seem to mind the company; Thor has been pretty agreeable this whole time.]

I don't know about that. Some of these missions have been pretty scary, don't you think?

[worldsaway]

Scary in a sense.. Unpleasant. Not what I expected, to be sure.

[He nods, folding his arms low over his stomach.]

And yes, you. You would have had to volunteer for this mission, of course. I'm quite sure they did not force it upon you. [Muttered:] Though it wouldn't surprise me..

[unluckynumberseven]

Oh, no, I said I wanted to come! I sort of thought I'd just be protecting the real diplomats in the group, but I guess we all have to work together to pull this off. It's kind of fun, in its own way. I've never met so many aliens before, or been to cities that could make you feel different ways...

[Ah, he's rambling. A little embarrassed, he tries to get back on topic.]

It's... too bad we all had to talk about stuff from our pasts, but getting to know people isn't so bad, you know? I mean, I don't think Dutch would talk about herself if nobody asked.
