Who: Nihlus Kryik and you!!!
When: Pretty much whenever.
Where: Around the Moira!
What: Weird napping locations and sparring?
Warnings: Sparring??



Lord of Powernapping

Normally, you wouldn’t catch Nihlus dead sleeping. Not even Eric or Tyler have probably ever seen Nihlus really sleeping. Staying up with the blanket draped over him like some demented, huge bird and the glow of his omni-tool lighting the fabric up underneath, yes. Actual sleeping though?

Rare.

And yet, if you walked into the Cargo bay sometime this week, there’ll be a figure curled up against the side of the nearly finished fabricator with schematics laid out around his head like a bizarre halo. Or you’ll find Nihlus down one of the endless hallways, in a dark corner and leaning oddly against the wall with a broom held loosely against his chest (he’s not in Cleaning anymore, and yet). If one ever wanders into the engine room, there’s someone holed up under the pipes, tools scattered about him, but there’s no sound of things being tinkered with.

If one gets near enough, they could almost hear the very soft ‘chrrrchrrrchrr’s.

He’s not in as deep a slumber as he might seem, though.


Training Room

The ship is pretty much dead quiet. It’s a few days after the new arrivals and everyone was down on the Collectives.

It’s strange, but Nihlus found the silence peaceful for once. He finishes repairing that airlock, finalizes the repairs on some of the Scraplet damage and goes down to fiddle with the fabricator some more.

He’d debated going down for a supply run, but… that could wait a while more. They’d gotten a lot necessities through the Amissis-R and the Moira was going to be docked for a while yet from the looks of things.

So, for the first time in a while, Nihlus takes to the Sim room.

For anyone who walks in, they enter a room with tall, sloped ceilings and pale walls contrasted with warm tone lighting. The floor is lined with panels of what almost looked like nacre, the strange, iridescent material warm under barefoot. Wide windows streamed alien sunlight into the space, but if one tried looking out, they’d only be greeted by the vaguest outline of a silvery city through the brightness.

In the center of the room, Nihlus is decked out in his thermals and currently going through some sparring warm-ups with what looked like a red turian VI.

If you want to duke it out with a Spectre agent, now might your chance!

Powernaps are where it's at

He's not sure what he's seeing at first, but it's clear that it's something living. The dead don't speak, at least not to him, and this guy is definitely snoring or something pretty close to it. Odd wants to slip by unnoticed, but he's sleeping standing up against a wall and he feels bad for him.

If he's working that hard that he can't stay awake then maybe he just needs some help. Odd searches for a broom, finds one close by, and as quietly as he can, begins to sweep the hallway around his fellow crew mate.

Odd hopes he doesn't wake Nihlus up, but if he does, he'll just keep on cleaning. It's soothing in a way, the monotonous swiping of stiff plastic brushing the floor over and over. He's also helping, in a creepy, don't catch me helping kind of way.

Odd glances up, smiling slowly. It feels like a joke, even if he doesn't understand the reference, and he can run with something like that.

"2013 and some guy named Jim."

Yeah, he's just making it up, but the other probably knows that. Odd was used to seeing things that nobody else could, things that didn't look like the people around him, but this guy was nowhere near as disorienting as the bodachs were, so the teeth get noted and pushed aside.

"I'm Odd. Odd Thomas."

Odd likes that sound. It's comforting to know that this guy can laugh and has a sense of humor, it's easier to make a friend if they enjoy jokes. He props the broom up against the wall, reaching out to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Nihlus. I am pretty new. Fresh out of that big machine and ready for sci-fi, futuristic living."

He shrugs, grinning as he steps back again.

"They put me in the kitchens, but I like it down there, so no complaints from me."
