Hey - it's Raven. Got a couple more things.

1. If you need me, I'm in Engineering 70% of the time and 2/3s of the rest is split between flight and comms. You can usually catch me by communicator, but if not, Jasper's your guy. He can do damn near anything I can these days, and even if he can't he'll get word to me. And yeah, I'm still open for freelance mechanics. If you've got something to trade, there's not too much I won't build you.

2. Figured I should put out an official apology for the small controlled explosion a few weeks back. I'm not here to lie to you, we're not actually all that sorry. We've just got enough to deal with without the underqualified safety brigade crawling up our ass.

3. A buddy showed up on the Jump and I'm getting sick of his face. Somebody put his ass to work, yeah? Finn Collins. He'd be good in Comms, or any job that asks you to do stupid stunts with a doofy grin.

Raven Reyes, by the way. I realized I should probably specify.


[ ooc | taking this opportunity to say that since her post last month, she's picked up a good handful of shifts each in both flight crew and comms, as per the advice/reccs she got last time. if you run one of those departments and need me to do anything/fill out any forms for that, lemme know! and if you work in one of them, it's safe to pretend they've at least said 'hi' in the last couple of weeks if you want to tag in with a little familiarity under their belt. ]

Wait, why are you in three departments? No judging here but dang, when do you sleep?

Okay, a little judging because DANG when do you sleep??

And hey, that doofy grin is my secret weapon! Don't give it away!

[regulatingpressure]

I don't. When have I ever?

[ but in retrospect, he'd really have no idea what she's talking about, wouldn't he? most of her sleep loss went down after he went into lock-up. ]

Doesn't need to be a secret to pack a punch.

[spacewalker]

You're too smart for your own good. Everybody wants you to help.

Wait wait I just read that again. Are you telling me you set off explosions without me?

text;

[regulatingpressure]

Might've. Caught hell for it, though.

[ hell and a couple of job offers, but that part she's not gonna advertise. ]

[voice]

[ryuuzaki]

What are his capabilities?

[A pause, and then he adds, dryly,]

He might want to speak for himself.

[voice]

[trynotodie]

[and here he is to do so.]

Chemistry, engineering, marksmanship.

To, uh, put it simply.

[voice]

[ryuuzaki]

Ah, Jasper. No, I was speaking of Finn Collins. I'm in Communications.

[voice]

[trynotodie]

Oh. [sounding incredibly embarassed now. this is what happens when he's not paying attention, isn't it?]

Uh. Sorry. I'm... yeah, sorry. Raven would... probably be able to answer that better than I would then. [he's going to go hide in a corner and be eternally embarrassed now, good night.]

[voice]

[spacewalker]

I can speak for myself. That's what comms is all about, right? Communication.

I'm excellent with people and a fast learner.

Good 'cause I was gonna ignore this completely if you hadn't specified Reyes.

[regulatingpressure]

Not a fan of the other?

[notmarieanymore]

To put it mildly.
I'm Rogue.

private now.

[regulatingpressure]

Personal reasons or something I should look out for?
Good to meet you.

Please retract your apology; insincerity is a waste of network space.

[text]

[regulatingpressure]

You don't want to get me started on wastes of network space.

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

You're correct; I do not. I simply would like to request that you take down the false apology.

[text]

[regulatingpressure]

Apologize for crawling up our asses and I'll make it genuine.

[deservesadaisy]

You have been keeping busy.

text

[regulatingpressure]

As busy as I can.

[deservesadaisy]

Did you learn much, from the explosion, other than that people have a low tolerance for them?

[wiped]

How did you set off the explosions?

[ the most important point, right? ]

[regulatingpressure]

You mean like what kind of ingredients?

[wiped]

Yeah. How did you make it?

[ this certainly won't cause any red flags ]

[kutte]

If you want, I can take the kid off your hands. He know how to handle a gun?

[regulatingpressure]

[ that earns a quiet, dry laugh - sorry finn. ]

Sure, he knows how. But unless a friend of ours not only shows up but gets herself into some kind of ~life-threatening peril~, you'd be hard pressed to get him to touch a gun, let alone handle it.

Still thinks pacifism's a sustainable lifestyle.

[ yes, she knows he's listening. but he can't name a single part of this that isn't true, and she just talked him out of gunnery so he's got no room to complain either way. ]
