Making the rounds

WHO: Missy, recent murder victims, and anyone else who wants to talk to her
WHAT: Missy wrestling with Feelings from the breach and Teddy's murder spree
WHERE: The deck, the library, various cabins including hers
WHEN: the week after the murder spree
WARNINGS: Discussion of murder and violence

Missy makes the rounds bringing tea and light food to those who are death tolling. She may not be the best at the sympathy part, but she does make very good tea, whether herbals to sooth the stomach, or black tea just because.

She can also be found on the deckin the very early morning, and the newly restored library at various points, and of course in her cabin.

She very pointedly does not go anywhere near Zero.

There will come a knock on her door sometime within the first few days.

When she opens the door, he has two tumblers in one hand and a bottle of scotch in the other. Good scotch, a Highland variety today, and if she invites him in, he'll make his way through the door and wait near the entry.

"You found Scott after his death. And I'm assuming he told you what he told me. So... I came prepared."

[personal profile] a_different_future 2018-07-27 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
He finds a place to put the glasses, unstoppers the top of the bottle, pours out, and then puts the bottle down before counting off on his fingers.

"'I'm fine'," he starts off, "'Don't kill them.' 'Don't tell them that if they harm one hair on my head again you will personally see them crippled and/or put through an incredible amount of pain.'"

He takes up his own then offers her the other.

Iris is actually resting - it's in a sunlounger up on deck, and she's reading a lurid-looking paperback and sipping a tall drink that smells strongly of tequila and fresh ginger, but she's totally resting.

When she sees Missy, she smiles and puts her book down.

"'Ey lovely. Long time no see."

Iris is a hard woman to surprise, but that does it. There's the briefest instant where, like a car-chasing dog that's unexpectedly caught one, she has no idea what to do now; except that Iris does know what to do, and she's moving before she's aware of having decided to.

The death toll has the side effect of making her excruciatingly aware of her body: the leaden drag of her limbs, the pain in her chest that protests her increasing heartbeats.

"My sunlounger's your sunlounger. Ginger margarita?"

The day after everything goes down, Missy gets a terse private message. Text only, because sometimes people like them appreciate the chance to settle their feelings unseen before responding.

Flood killed Nico, too. He's recuperating with me in 5-13. I don't think he needs the fuss of a public announcement, but he wanted to be sure you knew where to find him.

And then a minute later, as though he wrestled a bit with the addition, How are you holding up?
ninefox: (never trust a shuos)

[personal profile] ninefox 2018-07-28 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'll tell him.

The pause is a lot shorter this time before he adds,

And I'm definitely going to need a drink later.

Tris's cabin has changed back to its proper form during one of her many naps. Of course, that means that there are two flights of stairs between her and the cabin door, and she is absolutely not going down them until necessary.

She undoes one of her wind braids and uses a breeze to carry words from her mouth down to the doorway. "Come in! I'm up at the top of the stairs!" There's an odd, slightly echo-y quality to her voice, words mixed with a rush of air.

The cabin itself is whitewashed stone, very neat, with no modern appliances or technology. All the furniture is simple but very well-made. Tris will be tucked to bed on the third floor.
stormandwind: (knowing)

[personal profile] stormandwind 2018-07-28 01:21 am (UTC)(link)

Whoever Tris was expecting to come up the stairs, it wasn't Missy. Her eyebrows raise minutely. She sets her book on the bedside table and sits up.

"This is finally my own cabin, so there's every kind under the sun in the kitchen downstairs, but black tea is good." Today, at least. A day ago, she was still on nausea and pain medicines rather than anything enjoyable. "Thank you, Missy. I appreciate it."

[By the third day of his death toll, Nico's at least managed to regain a solid - or as solid as he ever manages - grip on reality, and starting to shake off at least a little of the exhaustion. Enough to try to check in without getting lost in memories of another life.]

Are you okay?
oddswerebad: (six of swords)

[personal profile] oddswerebad 2018-08-02 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Im ok. Is Scott better?

[He's done a quick run down of confirmed victims and her relationship with them.]

If Missy went looking for Fives in his cabin, even in the first couple of days when he was avoiding Nico in Jedao's, she would have found it empty, with the door unlocked and prone to simply slide open at a touch, to show a bare metal barracks room full of bare metal bunks and bare metal lockers, with an equally bare metal locker room with what she might recognize as sonic fixtures. The only sign of anyone ever having been there at all is row upon row of words in a script from no planet in her universe, done in deep blue paint with a neat, steady hand. There's no sign of Fives, or anyone else, living there at all, though.

Where he can be found, though, by pure happenstance, is sunk into one of the chairs in the library, with a stack of books next to him and one open in his lap, looking... somewhat less than alert as he reads what's apparently a text on the various tactics and strategies of space to surface warfare. The books stacked beside him are an eclectic mix of military history, mechanical and electrical engineering, politics and government... and a couple of very out of place looking books on farming.

He looks more than a little bleary when he first looks up from his book, but he blinks a few times and manages some degree of focus after a few seconds. He's haggard and hollow-eyed, his skin grey with exhaustion and pain, though his expression is blankly neutral.

"A colony after a war, more like. Or maybe during the war, still, but as far away from it as possible." Or many colonies. Those are Jedao's plans, he understands those things, but Fives is trying to.
