[ peter looks vaguely more interested in being on screen this time than compared to the last time he was. maybe it’s because he’s had a little more practice, who knows. but he’s standing in front of a mish mosh of scrap metal, a rather perfect descriptor for what they're about to say. ]

So. For all you guys out there looking to join a department, I want to offer engineering as an option. If there’s something we need it’s extra hands around the place, and there’s more than a few things we could think of to do to keep you occupied if you can't think of them yourselves. Plus, the place is a lifesize erector set.

Arya and I are the heads of the department--

[ arya is worn in a way that goes beyond physical exhaustion and would rather be anywhere else than showing her face on the network, but no one could tell from the smile she donned for this occasion. ]

— and ours is an important duty. [ focus, peter. ] We are charged with the well-being of the ship. If it is neglected, we would all die.

[ welcome to psa: westeros style. ]

We need everyone. Even if you are not knowledgeable about technology [ cough her a year ago ] there are tasks that don’t need such. And we can teach those who wish to learn.

[ peter’s focused, he swears! he’s just trying to appeal to the masses. ] We want you to keep in mind that the place is bigger than you might expect and we can’t keep track of anyone who might decide to go wandering off, so maybe join with a buddy of yours so you can keep track of each other.

The main goal is that we need more people, like Arya said. There’s just too much for the few people we’ve got to take care of all on our own. Feel free to talk to either of us if you’ve got any questions or concerns or, I don’t know- if you just want to know more.

[ peter glances back over to arya for a second before looking back. ]

It’s a department we all need to think of, and not just as one where we get to build things in our spare time—

[ and here arya chimes in with a, ] But we do that too! [ actual best part tbh we’re all kids or kids at heart here. ]

We take care of the ship, and without your help, the place’ll fall apart.


[ ooc; peter is black, arya is green ]

Lifesize erector set.

[lostkings]

What? [ no, seriously. what. ] Do you need me to explain that one a little more carefully?

[wolfchild]

[ off-screen mutter: ] What is it?

[ she does need it explained more carefully, thank you. ]

[mathematically]

No, because I actually know what those are. I also know that most people don't— Most people end up throwing their directions away and something tells me if we did that here we'd all you know, die?

You don't have to have a buddy, I promise. Unless you want one.

[Literally never gonna happen, but whatever. Knowing what terms you're on is important.]

[de_void]

What sort of stuff do you guys do?

[keeping busy is a good way to keep from going crazy, right? right]

voice;

[wolfchild]

A little of everything. Monitor all the systems on the ship, keep track of power and fuel, make sure everything is ready before the jumps and nothing broke after the jumps...

[ fun stuff yo. ]

[de_void]

That doesn't sound too hard. I'm pretty good at multi-tasking actually.

Re: voice;

[lostkings]

We do have free time sometimes.

[a slight pause and then...]

No shit. That's not what I asked.

[ Ship maintenance? What are the chances it can get him some more intimate knowledge of the surroundings? ]

I've got some basic mechanics knowledge, though I'm not sure that'd be much help here.

voice;

[wolfchild]

[ considering that's the entire reason she joined up and she's still frustratingly in the dark re: the ship-- ]

You can learn.

[ channeling catelyn stark tbh. ]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Excellent, it can be an adventure of mutual frustration. ]

Then I guess you can sign me up. Gotta keep busy somehow.

voice;

[lostkings]

Like Arya said, that's more than enough help. We'll take basic over none at all. Means you can get a better one.

[ channeling arya. ]

Im happy to explain anything you don't already know.

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

What are some of the basic things you do around here? I figure you guys are the ones who try to keep this bucket floating along, right?

[Pepper manages a smile at how Arya has clearly coached Peter for this.]

Much better, Peter. Arya is a good coach. If we pull enough people to set an actual schedule let me know.

[Meaning she needs more to do. PLEASE give her more to do or she'll start outsourcing herself to other departments.]

[Video]

[wolfchild]

Will we have any hours scheduled for sleep?

[ this is a joke. ]

[Video]

[lostkings]

I couldn't have done it without her. [ insert cheesy grin here. ]

Definitely won't have a schedule just yet, we've gotta get people on the team first.

[17thcenturyboy]

What can I do to help?

[lostkings]

Depends on what you can do.
