Who: Eggsy commontype & anyone
When: Today and forward
Where: Ceta and the Moira
What: Protesting, fighting, and protecting those that can't protect themselves.
Warnings: Fighting, cursing, and will update if more come up


A Passive Approach: 3/09

[Eggsy decides to set up shop in the mess hall. It's a central location, one that will get him the attention that he needs, because he's going to stage a protest against killing the whales. It's not what he'd actually like to do, but he knows better than to start shit that could result in another planet being destroyed.

So he borrows some paint and starts making some signs.]

Hey, you wanna help?

[He stops people as they come in, explaining what's going on.]

An Active Approach: 3/11; closed

[The protest he'd set up with the help of the rest of the crew went alright. It didn't stop the whalers, which pissed him off, but it did at least rally everyone to work together. That was something.

But he was antsy, pent up, and pissed off.

There was no reason to kill the whales just to harvest a mineral from inside them. That was shit and he was telling one of the whalers just as much when he decided to take a swing. And another. Next thing he knew, Eggsy was in a full-on brawl with a group of them. Swinging, dodging, doing just fine, and then there's Loki, out of nowhere, distracting him.]

Watch out!

[A fist catches his jaw and he stumbles.]

A Questionnaire: 3/12

[Early in the morning, Eggsy sends out a MID message to the entire crew, captains included.]

I've been tryin to find somethin to do here that I'd be good at and I'm plannin on asking for a job switch soon. There seems to be a lot of animals on the ship. They might need care or someone to look after them, so I'm gonna make a list, but I need your help.

If you could help me with that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Attached to the message is a simple list that anyone can update. Either message Eggsy back and let him know, or add what you do know to it.]

Wildcard:

Hit me with anything for the plot so far. Whale watching, planet shenanigans, translator stuff, etc.

[OOC: For the protest prompt, feel free to time skip ahead on that or have your character help make signs. He'll be taking them down to the planet, with whoever wants to go, and starting a protest outside where most of the whalers hang out.]

[Snake didn't expect to see painted signs in the Mess Hall when he entered but that was what he got. A young man seemed to be busying himself setting something up.]

Need help with something, kid?

[commontype]

Oh, yeah, bruv. If you ain't busy, I'd appreciate it.

[People came here to eat, had their own work to do, so Eggsy wouldn't be upset if they didn't have any free time for this.]

Tryin' to make some signs. Ain't usually one for peacefully protestin', but figured, considerin' the mess on Caducus, that I'd try this instead.

[He was going to give this a shot before doing anything stupid.]

[cardboard_boss]

[Busy? He hadn't anything to do that was the problem. No missions. Nothing. Just the odd cleaning duty which was mandatory aboard the Moira. He wanted to do some reconnaissance but just hadn't got around to it yet. Being new he still didn't know his way around that good yet.]

What are you protesting about?

[Snake looked at the kid's board and frowned. Whales? Whaling? Was he an animal rights activist? In space?]

Didn't think you got many whales in space.

[commontype]

Killin' them big floatin' whale things.

[They might not be whales, but they looked like it, so that was close enough.]

They ain't killin' them to survive or anythin' like that. They're killin' them to harvest some kind of mind alterin' shit and that ain't right.

[He lifts a brush, extending it towards the man with a shrug.]

This is my first time in space, so I couldn't really say, yeah?

[cardboard_boss]

[Venom agreed with what the kid's views were. Killing any innocent creature was something Snake disagreed on. Surely, preserving the creature would work out better in the end?]

Yeah. People do that all the time back on Earth. Hunting for sport, trophy hunting, that kind of thing. All done for greed and profit.

[commontype]

You're from Earth?

[Eggsy's always a little surprised when he hears that, though he's not sure why. Probably all the planets they've seen that are nothing like his own home.]

Me too, yeah? 2015, if that means anythin'.

[cardboard_boss]

2015? You're further into my future than I am. I'm from 1984. [George Orwell anyone?]

I'm Ahab. [Snake held his good hand out for the other man to shake.]

[commontype]

1984 was before I was born. Talk about some time difference, yeah?

[He shakes his hand firmly.]

Nice to meet ya, Ahab. I've been wonderin' what time it is here, cause I'm from 2015 and all this stuff is way more advanced than back home.

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah. It's pretty mucked up. [Because he's spoken to people from across the timeline.]

All this stuff aboard the ship is more advanced than any of us has seen. Must have some fancy budget for this kind of stuff. [Their R+D department must be raking in the money.]

What do you do back home?

[commontype]

That's for sure. I mean, we had some cool shit bein' made back home, but nothin' like this.

[Cell phones were getting more advanced, with touch screens and all. Though the MIDs were definitely on a whole new level.]

Worked for a tailor. Had just gotten the job when I showed up. S'actually the same tailor here on the ship now.

[cardboard_boss]

The same man you worked for is here aboard the ship? [Well, wasn't that a coincidence?]

You're not the only one. Two of my close friends are here from my world too. Kazuhira Miller and Ocelot.

[commontype]

Yeah, he is. Strange as fuck actually.

[Considering what happened the last time they'd seen each other.]

You's friends with Kaz? [His entire body language changes, clearly pleased about that.] Now that's a great bloke, yeah? Kaz is a good guy.

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah, Kaz and I go way back. [So many memories shared with the man.]

We've fought side by side, building bases up from nothing and training men from the ground up. He's a great business man and I couldn't live without him. [Venom had come to respect the man and also to love him.]
