Arcen'Zeil (played by Twitchy)

Start Entry:
Space, so endless, so black... So annoying while marooned on a large ship meant to have a crew of three thousand, sadly this wondrous vessel is only half crewed. All military and scientists. Warped into the middle of nowhere, uncharted, and unknown space solely for the purpose of exploring uncharted territory and if possible blasting some hostile aliens. Gotta revel in the blasting of things.

Draw back though, rumors of a few stowaways have been spread. Well, large military ships 'always' attract the stowaways. Probably just some dude forgotten in the storage bay from last launch... Paid but forgotten, what a life. But if there are stowaways, then that would explain the shortage in single serving bags of chips.

Another complaint that no one is probably ever going to read, someone needs to replace these damned fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs! They keep flickering when they reach the end of their life span and it's cause most of the guard to develop an annoying eye twitch, me included.

End entry.


Arcen'Zeil sighed as she looked up from her PDA and looked around her private room. This was annoying, flying aimlessly in the middle of nowhere. Standing up she stretched her neck, happy to have been able to get herself a private room as a hired mercenary guard. She didn't do well with sharing a room with others. 'Randomly blinking lights, no idea where we're at and more importantly a shortage of potato chips. Nothing is gonna go right this month, is it?' she thought to herself. Most of the crew regarded her as a mute, and she didn't mind that. She'd picked up quickly on sign language and she usually carried her PDA with so she could communicate with others in a written fashion as well.

Sighing she slung her pulse rifle over her shoulder and proceeded to walk down the hallway towards the rec. room. Normally she'd float but she didn't want the crew to know what she was capable of for some bizarre reason, possibly thinking they wouldn't be able to comprehend her.
Zakaneros (played by toasterpip)

Zakaneros skulked through the cargo bay of the ship, chewing on one of the stale protein bars he'd found in the galley. He was too damn old for this, he grumbled to himself in his native tongue.

The rodentine man had been hired to oversee the installation of and monitor the performance a new weapons system on the ship, a type of experimental resonance cannon. His price had been repairs and refueling of his own ship, which would be held for him until they got back. He hadn't expected them to hit uncharted space, though.

He stretched, squeaking in mild pain as his joints protested. He'd do no good from here, he resolved. Besides, the recreation room was far more comfortable to work in, with the relatively plush seating. As such, he headed that way, pulling out one of his datapads and scrolling through the numbers from the latest spin-up test of the weapon.

After walking what seemed like miles of hallway of the skeleton crewed vessel Arcen'zeil finally came too the rec. room. Giving a glance about, the room was nearly empty as usual thanks to the crew size. Just a few officers here and there that she was not interested in at all. Heading directly towards the back, where a small indoor pool was kept along with a locker room for said pool. Entering the locker room, quickly changing into a two piece swimsuit and stuffing her regular clothes in a locker she walked towards the pool.

The heads of the male officers all turned too look towards her. Her slender figure accenting notable parts of her. 'Perverts.' she thought before diving into the water, doing a small midair twist and landing on her back in the water. Sinking ever so slightly and merely keeping her nose above the surface. Relaxing in the comfortably warm water.
Zakaneros (played by toasterpip)

Zak took some time to reach the recreation room, silently cursing his old joints and this massive vessel under his breath. He walked by the wall of glass separating the pool from the central area, glancing at the water. He'd never been too fond of swimming, but the jackal caught his attention for a few moments. He figured he'd seen her before, but that wasn't really surprising given the woefully understaffed crew. His people tended to pack crews onto ships so that there was always activity, and no empty hallways.

The old man sat creakily in one of the plush seats of the sitting area, facing the pool on a whim. He turned to his datapad, putting on his glasses so he wouldn't have to squint at it. There was work to be done now, distractions such as a woman in the pool could certainly wait. Not that he would've ogled anyway. He was far too old to chase tails anymore.

Arcen pulled her head up above the surface completely to let out a yawn. She'd been hoping for even a bit of action, at least beating a drunk guy trying to put moves on her, but alas not even that is occurring it would seem thanks too the skeleton crew. Opening her eyes, which very briefly gave off a soft pink glow, and scanned about. Raising a brow at the rodent like creature that seemed to had recently joined the room. She'd seen him before but wasn't sure where on the ship it was.

After a short while she decided it was time too come out of the pool before her drastically long hair had absorbed enough water to end up weighing a ton or two and cause major neck pains. Just like a dog of the more feral variety she shook herself dry before heading towards the locker room too completely towel herself off and change her clothes. Not exactly strutting herself, but once more the males and some females couldn't help but look at her, too her annoyance.

[Either of y'all mind if I step in? Not this character, but I've got something brewing.]
