Who: Eliot and open
What: Eliot lurking about assorted parts of the barge before and during the flood
Where: The Chapel, the gym, hallways, etc....
When: beginning of January and through the flood
Warnings: Will add if needed

Eliot's been keeping mostly to himself, for values of keeping to himself that include haunting the hallways and public areas of the barge in an attempt to learn everything he can about the place and the people in it without getting himself actively entangled with any of them. He's looking for weaknesses to exploit, potential avenues of escape, not ways to fit in and get comfortable. He hasn't slept in his designated room once so far, though he does use it to store (carefully hidden) some of the items he's gathered for improvising weapons, instead rotating through the empty cabins for irregularly timed catnaps, using the public showers for quick, efficient scrub downs only when the halls are empty and quiet and the facilities deserted.



Dining Hall

The only place he tends to linger is the dining hall during mealtimes, usually in a dim corner with a good view of the room, working his way methodically through his food and watching the comings and goings of the other residents. Matching faces to things he's seen on the network, figuring out as much as possible who's friendly with who, who's at odds, who's keeping a careful distance like himself. Mostly, trying to tell the wardens from the prisoners, because he wants to make sure he knows exactly who's there to win their heart's desire off the captivity of the rest.


Gym

He does the bulk of his exercising on deck or in whatever empty cabin he's squatting in at the time, but he has taken to making limited use of the gym. He's in there for maybe half an hour a day, usually on a treadmill, still in boots and jeans and a flannel shirt, because the clothes in 'his' closet were sized for the seventeen year old version of him, and he might not be a tall man, but he's a hell of a lot bigger than he was back then. So he runs at a steady pace, mostly watching whoever else might be using the room with a coolly assessing gaze.

Deck

He does his 'real' running on the deck, usually during what passes for the middle of the night, sometimes for hours at a time. He doesn't seem particularly bothered by the snow or the ice, and once he's been moving long enough he'll strip off his flannel and just keep going round and round in his jeans, tee and boots. Sometimes, though, he just stands at the rail and stares out, because he's not afraid of that shit, dammit.

Greenhouse

The one place he comes just because... he wants to. At least there's some damn green, and he'll find a quiet spot and just sit and breathe in the scent of something that's not metal and sweat and over-processed air for a while, maybe pull the occasional weed because he's there, so why not?

Chapel, for Steve McGarret

He's here for one reason only, and that's because he's figured it's the only place he's going to manage to get his hands on the means for fire. Candles might not be the best tools in the world for melting things, but they'll do, and they're available here, apparently unrestricted. So for once he's actually wearing the battered old jacket from the wardrobe in his cabin, the pocket space welcome as he slips half a dozen candles and a couple books of matches for lighting them deftly out of sight.

During the Flood

Starting the morning of the flood Eliot can be found lurking even more lurkily in the corridors of the barge, given it's a lot easier for a twelve inch toy Delta Force Operator to move around unnoticed that a full grown human man. He'd actually tried to take off most of the gear and insignia and stash it in his room, not at all amused to have his history laid out for all to see, but even though everything seems to be detailed and realistic it's not actually removable, and he has a nagging fear that most of it's actually sewn to him in places he can't see. To compound that, the weapons are disappointingly non-functional, though at least he has rope for getting up on tables and at door handles.

For the first couple of days he'll be keeping mostly to his usual habits, but as the flood progresses he'll take to setting up ambushes from under tables in the dining hall or the common rooms, trying (pretty effectively) to sneak into peoples rooms to booby-trap them, and possibly assembling the requirements for tiny molotov cocktails in regretful lieu of C4 or armor piercing rounds if he can manage to steal alcohol from someone and find tiny enough containers. And other tiny residents might be either recruited as collaborators or treated as enemy combatants.

Well well. There's a little plastic man scurrying around the door to his cabin.

It's not the first time someone's tried to break in. Arthas learned his lesson; there's nothing valuable in there any more. And... really, he wants to see how someone a foot tall is goign to manage this.

He leans against a wall, quiet now that his plate armor is gone, and settles in to watch.

Arthas calculates what the worst possible time to startle the little guy would be and then says, loudly:

"So, who are you normally?"

Hey, Eliot, you're really not going to recognize Kevin this time. Not in this cute Build-a Marshall. He doesn't notice anyone else there until he's about a foot away. Then he tries so hard to stop but skids into Eliot and goes flying, landing on his back.

"Ow... That wasn't supposed to happen!"

And now the stuffed puppy's tail is tucked solidly between his legs. But even so, he can't help trying to wag it. "Sorry... I didn't think the floor would be so slippery."

The voice sounds kind of like the kid Eliot first met but... even younger. And the toy dalmatian is definitely still a puppy.

The amusing part is that it's the bulk of this behavior that actually makes Eliot stand out to those prone to it themselves. It's almost common, even, although Alec has noticed a slowing of traffic in the unoccupied cabins now that Omar isn't around anymore. He knows of two other people that do the same thing, plus himself.

Well. He's doing it a little less himself these days, too, but that's neither here nor there.

So Alec has left Eliot largely to his devices, keeping his late night patrols regular so the newer inmate has plenty of time to get out of his way, avoiding the showers when he hears them on, and waiting for the pounding of booted feet to disappear from the deck before going out there himself.

And then one day it pleases him to slip out of the hatchway on cat silent feet, sit down on one of the benches on the deck, and wave at Eliot as he jogs past with direct eye contact and a broad, crooked grin.

[personal profile] kissthatgoodbye 2016-01-10 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Alec seems content to wait right where he is; on the following laps he's looking up at the stars rather than at Eliot, though his head is tipped so he very obviously can keep track of the other inmate. Honestly, by the time Eliot stops Alec is a little impressed.

Not bad, for a human. Not bad at all.

He lets Eliot approach and grins at him, apparently not bothered much by the cold, although he is wearing a new leather jacket and a turtleneck under that.

"Obviously," he replies, reasonably. "Much better than sweating myself, unless it's a joint venture. I do feel the need to point out that this is a public space, though, and I'm using it more appropriately than you are just now."

Gym

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2016-01-09 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Barbara's gym use is sporadic. Her basic regimen is easy to do in her own cabin, but she enjoys the space and variety the Barge offers. She's in on of her standard workout outfits - a basic black leotard and a thick headband - and her lap is full of blunt weapons.

This is the first time she's seen Eliot here, though she's made note of him around the Barge. She only glances at him for a second as she heads towards the dummies, but it's enough to analyse his form and estimate his speed. He knows what he's doing.

"Have you tried the Enclosure yet?" She doesn't look at him as she speaks, focusing on putting the dummies in place. (It's a lot easier, now that she can control her chair without hands.)

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2016-01-14 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
She wheels back from the dummies, flashing him a wry smile as she unstraps collapsible bo staff. "Just asking usually works. If you're curious, I can unlock it for you myself some time."

She extends the staff with a snap of her wrist, wheeling herself into the centre of the dummies. She's usually pretty good at not letting herself be surrounded, but that doesn't mean she should be prepared for it.

super_seal: (Unsure - Uh)

Chapel

[personal profile] super_seal 2016-01-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
The Chapel is not a location on the barge that Steve has yet been too visit. It's not that he has anything against religion, rather he respects it and see's it's purpose. He's just not all that religious himself, rather putting his faith in his own capabilities.

That being said, right now Steve is all about collecting supplies. Candles and matches are on his list and he could have smacked himself when it finally dawned on him that the Chapel would have them, and likely they'd be easy access.

Slipping into the Chapel, Steve is curses under his breath finding someone else already there. Outside of weddings and funerals he's got no idea what proper church etiquette is. Stuck in a moment of indecision he hovers at the door.
super_seal: (Smile - Vest - Side)

[personal profile] super_seal 2016-01-15 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"You too?!" It could be related to supposedly being dead, or the candle theft, most likely both. Steve's in the same boat either way. He grins as he walks up to the prayer-candle table and helps himself to a candle. "And here I was worried about insulting your religious views."

Greenhouse

[personal profile] roseshavethorns 2016-01-09 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Rosethorn always knows when someone's in the greenhouse, no matter how quiet and unobtrusive. The plants notice him, and alert her, because they're generally excitable about any changes in their immediate area.

A little too excitable, sometimes. She's not sure if it's the exposure to multiple people with plant powers - with varying levels of control - or the Barge itself that makes them rather more active than most green life.

So she keeps tabs on where Eliot is, even though she doesn't even look up from where she's dividing and thinning out her herbs. At least until-

"That one's not a weed." She calls out without turning around.

The woman stands with some difficulty, like her knees are stiff, and wipes her hands carelessly on her green robes. "We haven't been introduced yet." Which isn't much in the way of answering his question, but she makes her way over regardless, crouching carefully near the seedling. "I'm Dedicate Rosethorn. And this is sticklewort. Not, mind you, something you'd find in most decorative plantings, but quite useful in medicine and magic. It'd be a shame to waste it."

Furiosa is in the ring this morning, sitting up against the edge of it, waiting for a morning sparring date with Max. She has her prosthesis over her knees, is tooling slightly with one of the fingertips to try to coax it into bending a little better, when she spots Eliot and lifts her hand up in a wave.

Without her winter clothes on, she reads as just a little bit more of a menace than the woman he met up on deck.

"Thanks."

She says, warmly, as she finishes up with it and moves to slip her arm into it, before beginning to buckle the belts that'll tighten it back on.

"It's made for combat wear and tear. I've had it for years, minus a few parts replaced here and there."

[personal profile] punched_hitler 2016-01-16 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve hasn't had a lot of time to himself since he got back - not after finding out that his inmate had gone on... well, what constituted a bit of a rampage, for her, and stepped over a lot of lines that she shouldn't have. Still, he's had a bit of help, and there are a few people willing to spell him for a bit so he can get out of her cabin and work off some energy. It's past midnight, but his sleeping schedule has gotten skewed, and he doesn't need much sleep anyway.

He's in workout clothes - a t-shirt and sweatpants - and his running circuit actually takes him through the whole Barge, from the bottom up, so when he hits the deck, he's not cold at all. But it's then that he realizes he's not alone; he has to slow just a little to keep an eye on the snow and ice underfoot, but he's still going much faster than any normal person should when he calls, "Comin' up on your left. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

The wry look on his face and the slightly teasing tone of his voice indicate that he's teasing.

Steve manages to snort mid-breath, skirting around the other and tossing back over his shoulder, "If you're that concerned about it, I'll be back in about five minutes."

After that, he disappears, on his way up to finish his circuit by hitting the upper decks. When he does appear again, coming back the way he came, he's walking, done with his run and carrying two bottles of water - one tucked under his arm, and the other open and two-thirds of the way gone. He waits until he catches Eliot's eye, then tosses him the other, in a slow arc that should be easy to catch.
