Princess Leia Organa
20 August 2014 @ 08:46 pm
[Despite working in Comms, Leia hasn't tried to address the rest of the ship since her arrival. But things have been steadily getting worse and she can't ignore it anymore.

Her cheeks are unnaturally flushed and she alternates between shaking and wanting to strip down to nothing from hour to hour. The slight cough she'd disregarded as leftover stress from her arrival, it's gotten worse. The overall picture is of someone who's miserable and ill but is trying to deny it.]


Excuse me, but is there something wrong with the environmental controls on the ship? Who do I talk to about having my room checked over?

[She coughs harshly, a wet sound that quickly turns into a harsh gag. She has to get off the communicator now.]

Help would also be appreciated with opening my door. It's been stuck for the last three hours.

[She turns the comm off just as she starts coughing again.]

Tranquility. [ Like everyone else, Carolyn doesn't look so great; she's leaning back on the passenger seats of some of the shuttles, looking a bit flushed. ]

If you need something to do while whatever this is goes around [ and god she hopes it's not another plague ], I have some videos.

[ Tapping at her comm takes a few seconds, and then a link pops up for those inclined to click it. ] Especially if you're new.

In general, I'd like to propose that everyone on board pick several people -- something like two to four -- who can take their belongings or look after their plants, animals, children, whatever in the event that something happens to them. It could be disappearing, could be death, could be staying in the gravity couches when everyone else is awake, whatever. Something a little more organized than what we've got, which has ended with animals wandering around the medbay looking confused and shitting on everything.

[ Yes, that part was necessary. ]

Make sure those people agree and know what to do in case something happens.

Besides that, if anyone's looking for something to do, the flight crew is always looking for help. We'll train you, no experience necessary. Just know that most of what we do is repair, so if you're looking for a joyride, you're in the wrong place.

[ Her hand lingers over the comm for a moment before she adds, in a tone of voice that makes it clear she isn't sure whether she should be doing this: ] If anyone from xenobiology is interested, I have some items from before I arrived you could look at.
