[ in terms of familiarity, she'll take what she can get. the training areas are a damn good place to feel at home on a strange ship, so she's going to wind up a regular within her first few days.b | being a loner in the atrium
there's a lot of time in the rooms set up for martial arts training, beating the shit out of a punching bag or pushing herself through drills. there's even more time on a treadmill, eyes ahead and focused on just keeping herself moving so this feels less strange unless someone takes up a space somewhere around her, when she'll give them a nod. if you're here two days in a row at the same time she is, she might comment on it. if you look like you know what you're doing with any particular skillset... well, she's probably going to comment on that, too. ]
[ it's been so long since carolina really had to be social. chorus doesn't count, being a warzone and all, so there was never anything as bustling as the common areas of this ship there. and besides, a war zone means never having to bother being out of her armour, but it's too weird to wear it here and so she isn't, but then she just kind of winds up feeling naked. there's no way to not feel weird about being here.c | she leaves wash alone for like ten minutes and this happens [ closed ]
the shopping centre reminds her of having a life back before project freelancer went to shit. the residential areas remind her of the mother of invention. she can't live at the gym and her new job. so she's here, looking terribly awkward as she wanders the atrium, eventually finding a place to sit next to a pond and dip her hand into the water. if she looks like she can't quite remember how to enjoy a scene like this... well, it's because she can't. ]
[ at first it's just the this feels like the moi sensation that has her thinking that the man down the hall, a leash around an uncooperative cat, is someone she knows. surely, surely, wash isn't here and trying to walk a cat. but then he talks to the cat and oh god, it is him. on one hand, it isn't entirely out of the question that if she were dragged here, he would be too - they'd been fighting together back on chorus, along with the local armies - but on the other: really? ]d | fun police wildcard
Washington. [ it's the explain command tone, coming from behind him, carolina's arms folded across her chest. it's not meant to question his presence here, just the cat. ]
[ maybe you're running in a potentially dangerous public area. maybe you're messing up a store's front display. maybe you're just being loud outside her room when she's trying to sleep and it's really getting to her. regardless of circumstance, you're suddenly getting a hand on your shoulder or a glare-down by a scary-looking redhead. ]
You need to stop.
[ or! if you're lucky, carolina's just lecturing someone else. hopefully she doesn't make that one npc cry in front of you. could be awkward. ]

[Despite his growing worries, Yuuri looks fascinated.]
They gave us suits with those duffel bags they hand out at orientation. I...can't tell what technology they're equipped with, but they look pretty thin.
[Guess who hasn't even put his on yet. If you said Yuuri, you'd be correct.]
no subject
[ carolina may be getting a little off topic, but she's gesturing with her hands now as she talks, as if tech like this is a favourite topic of hers. mostly, she's just really passionate about the fact that her gear is probably better than anything they'll have here. ]

[This coming from someone who's used to wearing just thin layers out on the ice for better maneuverability.]
Wait, strength boost? There are armors that can do that kind of thing?
no subject
Base armour back home is going to give the wearer help with strength and stability across the board, not to mention being tough enough to hold up to just about anything. But if you know the right people or find the right equipment, you can modify armour to do just about anything- give you camouflage or produce bubble shields, heal wounds, set off EMP blasts, holograms, temporal distortions, make you stronger, or my personal favourite: speed.
no subject
Do you think we'd be able to find anything like that here on this ship? [He worries at his lip.] If it's true that there could be problems when we reach the other planets, my--my coach and I could probably use all the extra help we can get.

Um, so... if it turns out that Viktor and I really do need the extra armor, do you think we could ask you for...help? I wouldn't know the difference between all the armor types, and he wouldn't either.
no subject
either way, the response is a blink of surprise, and then a softening of her features, almost smiling. ]
Yeah, you can give me a shout and I'll make sure no one's trying to sell you short. Same thing with weapons, since you'll probably want the basics in those at some point, too.
no subject
Thanks. There's just so much we don't know, it's... nice of everyone like you to be willing to help us. Um, I'm Yuuri Katsuki, by the way.
oops sorry for the wait!
no worries!
I'll talk to Viktor about this, the armor enhancements, and then I'll call you on this thing if we decided to get any. [Looking determined, he points at the communicator.]
no subject
Sure. Any time.
