» WHO? Alex, Amos, Naomi, Bobbie, Prax
» WHEN? Day 8 and catchall for may
» WHERE? Wandering around the Station
» WHAT? The crew of the Roci goes hunting for their missing members
» WARNINGS? Alex is going to get stuck in a door and there might be some violence initiated to try to get him out. Also: Catchall for other Roci crew threads. 


It felt a hell of a lot better, to have the three of them all together. Amos had a few days alone, and Alex was all too glad that hadn't been him. He'd only had a day to wonder how the hell he got there and where the rest of his crew was, before he found Amos. Then a couple days later they'd found Naomi. He was confident, now, that it was only a matter of time before they found the others - Holden and Prax. The cap and the plant guy. Alex hadn't even noticed when Prax had officially become someone he counted as crew. As family. It didn't matter. He was, now. And that meant that Alex was just as keen on finding him as he was on finding Holden.

He wanted to find the Roci, too, but he didn't have a hell of a lot of hope, for that one. Whoever or whatever had brought them here didn't seem too eager to give them a way out. He hated it - hated the idea that he was separated from her, that he didn't know where she was or who had her - but right now Holden and Prax were more important. Once they were all together, they could work on getting the ship back.

They'd started with the top floor and worked their way down. No door was left unopened (when they would open at all), no proverbial stone unturned. Despite the fact that they'd gone through a few floors, now, Alex was undeterred. They could still find them. And even if they didn't, that didn't mean they weren't on the station. Apollo's image had made it clear there was a hell of a lot more to this place than they had access to. So maybe they were being held somewhere else. But that didn't mean they weren't gonna try.

"Alright, I'll take this row," He said amiably, as if calling sides in a game of foot ball, walking towards a row of doors. He tried to open the first one, locked, and went for the next. "Anyone want to lay bets for what sort of person we accidentally walk in on, next?"

[That's a lie, but if Alex is going to be stubborn about it, she's not going to keep arguing.]

What dog?

[oorah]

I didn't lose- I'm sure he's with Karen. Or Kamala. ...Or Clary. [ he shrugs a little helplessly. he had been in a rush to track down alex and as such hadn't totally secured a dogsitter before taking off. max is a smart boy, and the station is finite. he has confidence he'll be okay. but wait ] You haven't met Max?

[ he asks bobbie like it's a travesty, because it completely is. he's sure she's never met a dog before max, same as alex. they'd have to fix that. ]

[marineris]

No?

[What's the big deal, Frank!]

How is there a dog on the station?

[oorah]

[ omG he blinks a few dozen times before trying to formulate a reply. seriously bobbie!!!! ]

How are any of us on this station? [ like... he remembers just then that he has a picture. or a hologram, etc whatever. he scrolls through his device and projects an image of max for bobbie. do you understand yet??? ] This is Max, he's a friend from home.

[marineris]

[Bobbie shoots him a look, but she leaves Alex's side to inspect the picture, and... okay. He's cute. But he looks just like any other dog she's seen a picture of.]

He's... cute?

[That's what he wants to hear, right?]

[donkeyballs]

Honestly, he's a lot cuter in person.

[ The photos were cute, but it was an entirely different thing actually meeting a dog. ]

[oorah]

[ ugh martians!!!!! he stashes the picture back in the gallery on his device and rolls his eyes. ]

I have to go find him for you to meet him, but we'll be at the bar later if you wanna drop by.

tagging is really hard okay don't judge me

[marineris]

[Bobbie seems to consider this, then nudges Alex with her elbow.]

You're just happy we're getting off track.

[And then she glances back at Frank.]

And you're not allowed to pull any stupid stunts either.

[Just so they're clear! Since that seems to be going around!]

[donkeyballs]

[ He's about to make some sort of denial - even if it is the truth - but luckily she turns on Frank instead. Good. ]

Think I'm about ready to hit the sack, if I'm honest. Get a couple hours nap, anyway.

Good luck, Frank, he's probably around charmin' all the ladies.

[oorah]

[ he starts to smile at her [literal] ribbing of alex, but then it drops right off his face when she tells him to be careful. apparently it's fine for them to mutually worry about alex, but her worrying about him? terrifies him. he starts to back away tellingly. ]

Text me if you need anything, asshole. [ he loves you. but then he offers up a shrug for bobbie. ] I'm not letting a vampire bite me this century, I can promise that much.

[ and then he's offering a lame wave before beelining for the elevator. THAT'S ENOUGH FEELINGS FOR ONE ETERNITY ]

[marineris]

[Bobbie rolls her eyes at that incredibly telling reaction. Why are these two like this? When Frank leaves, she turns back to Alex.]

Let me know if you need anything, yeah? Or if you want me to rough anyone up for you.

[She's... partially kidding.]

[donkeyballs]

How 'bout we try not to rough anyone up for a while. [ His tone is half tired and half amused. ]

I'm fine, Gunny. Honest. I'll catch you later for some grub, alright?

[marineris]

Sounds good. Stay safe.

[And with that, she'll leave him to it. It looks like he needs to sleep for a million years anyway.]
