( original character. nebulous (hah, get it) information in his profile )
arrival/settling;
[ there are a lot of reasons janus could have for taking this offer and pretty much every single one of them would have to boil down to "he needs to protect the crew for a change". being a pirate comes with a bounty and this time it came from his old crew, the captain having finally caught wind of where he (and the ship) were located. his piloting skills can only outrun for so long, and as much as he absolutely hates the thought of letting anyone else sit in his seat... well. being as far from them as he can for a while seems the safest bet.
so it sucks, being separated from them, but he likes people. not enough to share a room with three of them, though; not that he's a big stickler for privacy, but a man has needs, and there's no way he's going to be able to convince three different people to stay the hell out. so he schmoozes up to the first unoccupied station attendant that he can find, putting on every last ounce of charm he has, until he finally has her talked into changing his room assingment to one with just one other person.
janus kicks back in his new bed, stretching out with a clear view of the ceiling, only glancing up when the door opens to admit, he can only assume, his new roommate. he swings his feet back to the floor and pushes up to them, grin half-cocked as he holds out a hand. ]
Bunkin' here, huh? Name's Janus.
roaming;
[ there's definitely a difference between station life and pirate ship life, and mostly it has to do with sheer size. janus finds himself checking the map more often than he cares to, frowning each time he gets lost. he frowns extra hard when he's politely (but firmly) shooed away from the bridge; he just wanted to see what kind of setup they had going there! and maybe try to coerce his way into a seat just to get a feel for the controls! it's not like he was gonna suddenly blast them off to the other side of the galaxy or anything!
he skips the mess hall, not terribly hungry, and finds himself at the holodeck. a grin cracks his face and he immediately hops in, shifting his way through the options until he's thrust into a piloting simulation. anyone standing outside is going to realize pretty quickly that he's having a good time, if the yelling is any indication.
when he steps out again he's a little sweaty but he's glowing. he gestures over his shoulder with a grin to whoever's standing there. ]
Not quite as good at the real thing, but definitely worth a shot.

so i've noticed a trend here and apparently there's like a whole bunch of you who've been stuck planetside for your whole lives? didn't even know that space exploration was happening? that sucks. well. welcome to the neverending expanse of space i guess. what's up to those who've been here already. anyone got any questions you can feel free to ask me i'll answer. it might not be the right one or even a good one but it'll be an answer.
