[open|mingle!] ain't no party like a moira slumber party

[backsassin]

Who: Zam Wesell, Bruce Banner, and anybody!
When: Sometime after December 3rd until whenever the heating is back on
Where: The Library
What: Enterprising crewmembers gather in the library with blankets, pillows, and mattresses to wait out the cold.
Warnings: None so far!

[As per suggestion by Bruce Banner on the network, crewmembers have begun congregating in the library with extra blankets, mattresses, pillows, and clothes in an attempt to pool their resources and body heat in one room, with the hopes that it will take some of the bite out of the bitter cold that’s been plagueing all areas of the ship. The result is an impressive collection of bedding, some of it arranged in neat, separate piles denoting ownership by different crewmen and some of it thrown in a haphazard, but cozy looking pile in the center of the library. Feel free to bring your own comforts and either choose your own space to camp out, or throw it in the ever-growing pile in the middle of the room. All are welcome -- the more the merrier, and more importantly, the warmer.

If you are an inhabitant of Moro deck, you might notice a missing blanket or three thrown in the central pile. If you’ve been paying attention to the network, you might know this to be the work of a certain shapeshifter, who is almost certainly in the library. Somewhere...]

{OOC: This is an open mingle log! Feel free to post your own top-levels, or tag the top-levels of your crewmates! No place like a library-turned-slumber-party to make friends, right?}

[Wanda raises an eyebrow - this entire situation is already pretty unbelievable.]

You can't say something like that and not tell me.

[Well, you can, but then you can't complain when Wanda goes rifling through your thoughts to find out.]

[backsassin]

This book… I’ve read it before. [He holds the book up so she can see the cover. There’s a picture of a skull with two crossed blasters beneath it and a title that reads “WANTED: Notorious Outlaws of the Outer Rim.”] I mean, it’s from my universe. [He looks down at the book in his hands again, an expression of wonder on his face.] How the hell did it get here?

[seeingscarlet]

The same way we did? That thing pulls in more than people.

[Or at least that's what the captains said. All Wanda knows is that she asked for her coat back and got more than she was hoping for.]

[backsassin]

[Zam raises an eyebrow.] Really?

So you’re saying somewhere in my universe, someone, somewhere is missing their copy of this book? [He shakes his head, giving a short laugh that's equal parts amusement and disbelief.] You know, the longer I stay here, the more I think we're all on just a really dysfunctional pirate ship.

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda shrugs.] I would believe stranger things after all this. If it can take us, a book shouldn't be hard.

I do not think we make very frightening pirates hiding under these blankets.

[backsassin]

It makes sense that they’d take us; they need a crew. But why books? I mean, I’m not complaining, but it seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through for something non-essential. [Especially when they can’t even keep the essential parts of the ship running.

He smirks.] Well, like I said, we’re dysfunctional.

[seeingscarlet]

Do you really think they have any control over it? [This is bad enough as it is, but if they deliberately brought Bruce here with no way to control the Hulk...well. Criminally stupid doesn't even begin to cover it.]

They might be useful. What if we have to deal with one of these outlaws? [She's joking - probably.] Or -- whatever a mooka is.

[That's not the only import from Zam's world as Wanda has just plucked The Care and Keeping of Mooka off a shelf.]

[backsassin]

They have to have some amount of control. I mean, look at the crew. Random selection from dozens of different universes shouldn’t give you a crew that’s… what? 80% human? 90% [Sure seems like 90% sometimes.]

A mooka? Do they not have those where you’re from? [He watches as the woman picks another book off the shelf, tilting his head to read the title.] I wouldn’t worry. They’re harmless.

[seeingscarlet]

It is broken. That could be part of it. [Might be a setting stuck somewhere; there are really too many people from Earth.]

What is a mooka? I've never heard of them.

[backsassin]

Little four-legged animals people like to keep as pets. They’re cute. Kind of. [He scans the shelves again, looking for familiar titles or words. He sees a few, as well as many unfamiliar ones scattered among the shelves.]
