[ Lois wasn't typically someone who could be considered a girly girl, but she also didn't tend to look a gift horse in the mouth. And considering the fact that she'd just woken up to find out that Clark was gone, she could use some retail therapy that wasn't out of her own pocket. She'd grown accustomed to a certain style back home - a certain amount of comforts that she could afford... So she's just gonna take some time to remedy that while seeing what other things they might have book-wise on this planet and others.
At least, that's the theory. Don't mind her while she pages through very professional and not at all fun looking outfits on the screen with something of a dismal look. No point in looking at fun outfits when the idea of dating wasn't exactly on her radar. It felt wrong spending money that wasn't hers if she actually took the time to think about it because money always came from somewhere. She'll come around eventually, though, and look at it as a cost for kidnapping her. Just not right now.
No, right now, she's gonna walk away for a minute and then walk back to the screen and then walk away again - black heels clicking on the flooring all the while as she mutters under her breath. ]
This is ridiculous.
B.E.A.C.H! :
[ Someone fails at relaxing. That someone happens to be a 5'4" redhead who's sitting on the beach with a laptop, definitely ignoring the view. She'd done as requested, got off the ship and got some fresh air... She'd even gone shopping. Lois doesn't pay much attention to everyone around her, fingers silently moving over the touchpad keyboard - grateful that it doesn't make the annoying clacking sound a regular one makes.
Taking a sip of the drink next to her, there's a sound of surprise and slight disgust. Guess who doesn't normally do fruity drinks. ]
Maybe they'll put the umbrella in a glass of scotch.
[ It's more a musing to herself, but it's still aloud - used to voicing her thoughts rather than staying entirely in her head. ]
-------------
[ Much later into the evening, she can be found on one of the ships exploring the bioluminescent fish and maybe even trying to chat with a few locals. It's an amazing opportunity to see something new and to learn. Something she has a hard time letting go of when it comes to just naturally enjoying an experience. This was one of the moments where she was grateful life could still surprise her. Show her something far more positive than what she normally sees back home. ]
Wildcard :
[ Feel free to find her aboard the Moira around 5/31 and 6/1 after waking up from cryo or down on the Collective shopping, lounging on a beach, trying new things, maybe even getting one of the facials or chilling in the mud bath and being really awkward about it. ]
for: armoured
[ Welp. Give her a few minutes to process this and it should be smoother. Especially since he seems to sound young and so far is very sweet. Always one for manners, she adjusts, shaking the offered hand. More than enough of a smile to offer for both of them.
Her own problems aside, she does enjoy meeting new people. ] A pleasure. And I am, been on there a few months. Though, I haven't exactly been around in the past few weeks.
no subject
I guess it has been kind of busy, huh?
[He doesn't realise she might mean cryo.]
Between my actual job, and the volunteering, and the research, I'm barely ever in my room. It's nice to get a moment just to relax.
no subject
[ What he might not realize, she'll put to words. It's okay. ]
That's quite a bit to take on, you sound like me. [ With the projects and taking on what might seem like an insane amount of work. It's a quality she can admire in him. ] My room's become something of a storage space if anything. Hopefully one day I'll be a high enough rank to have a proper storage room that won't impede on other people's space at all.
[ She gives a little laugh. ] Considering the last time I'd had a roommate was college, I'm a little rusty.
no subject
I've never shared with anyone other than my brother, really. Sometimes Granny and Winry when we go back home, and there are always people willing to put us up as we travel, but usually it's just the two of us.
[He leans back a little, wishing he could feel the sun.]
I haven't met many people who stayed in education long enough to go to college, what are you a scholar of?
for: smolaf
[ It was the same back home for her. She always got looks when ordering scotch, never once felt self-conscious about it. She liked what she liked and that's all anyone really needed to know.
Her own eyes drift to the laptop, giving a bit of a sheepish smile. ]
More like playing catch-up. I was in cryo for a few weeks and everything doesn't stop just because I'm not there for it. As nice as that might be, missed a few things I wish I hadn't.
no subject
[The word feels unfamiliar on her lips, but she remembers vaguely reading about it once she woke up from being pulled into space. Lois would probably be able to tell that Gaby's got a million questions but she asks one of the most obvious ones.]
Was there a reason you were put into it?
no subject
[ And she'd awoken to some bad news, adding that missed time to an already large list of regrets. ]
One of the reasons I opted for the beach, after some prompting. Get a little sun to fight off that little bit of chill I just can't seem to shake. [ A chill that she knows is in her head, but still. It's there and while it may be tied to her emotions a little vitamin D never hurt. ]
for: sickbays
[ There's a certain thing she'd started to expect with the worlds they'd visited. Some sort of horror or sad tale behind it, a darkness that loomed and sometimes seemed to follow them back onto the ship. As a journalist, it was great material for the start of an article series... But as a person trapped with everyone else on the ship? The emotions weren't worth it.
This was different, though. This was something she could easily allow herself to enjoy. To bring a smile to her face in her own sad time. ] They're beautiful. [ She fights the temptation to reach over the edge of the boat to try and touch the water. ] I wonder if they've grown accustomed to the boats coming out. Maybe that's why - go where they know there'll be food?
no subject
Didn't think fish like this would swim so close to the surface either. They never do, back on Earth.
