001: Alex, Bobbie and Amos are Judging You

The Martians and the Earther are sitting at a table in the Mess Hall, and they've started a game. That game? To rate everyone else on the ship in order of attractiveness. Want to be rated? Find the comment header below, drop a picture in of your character, and watch the comments fly. Feel free to overhear them and give them hell.


002: Closed, Alex >> Frank

Going on the morning walk-about to search for Holden was ritual, at this point, and Alex was very used to Frank coming over first thing before they headed out. So the door was already open, waiting for him. Alex was fishing through his drawers, trying to find where he'd stashed that singular glove that he'd found, to show him for a laugh. But instead his fingers found something else - a thin sheet of plastic, creased and bent a hundred thousand times, and Alex's heart nearly stopped.

He pulled it out of the drawer like it was made of plutonium, careful not to touch the edges of the drawer with it.

Christ. Oh, Christ.


003: Open, Alex >> Anyone who wants to find this wrecked man.

He goes straight to the bar.

It's not that he isn't a fairly regular fixture there, anyway, but especially right now, all he really wants is to drink until he numbs everything. So hi, have a depressed Martian with a bottle of who knows what, sitting at the bar and just staring at a picture of a woman and a child smiling lovingly at the camera. He keeps stroking his thumb over it, then looking wrecked and saying something like 'god damn it' under his breath before he pours himself another drink. One of his arms is still wrapped up in a sling against his chest.

If he recognizes you, he might look up when you get close, and sigh. "Hey, partner. Everythin' alright?" Because it's a lot easier to worry about other people, than to keep being miserable about yourself.

[At least he's not mincing words. If he'd started handling her with kid gloves, she really would have felt like she was losing it. He does pull her chair out for her though, which makes her stop short. Wonders never cease.]

Now I know what it feels like to be as scrawny as you.

[ a lopsided, mirthless smile tugs up a corner of his mouth, waiting for her to sit before gently sliding the chair in and snatching his bar and drink off her tray to sit across from her. ]

It's called the element of surprise. [ he slaps his beloved rhino on the table before covering it up with his hat as he goes to take his own seat. ]

Is that what this is called? I fucking hate it.

[She reaches for her fork, hesitating before picking it up. Thank god she can manage that much.]

[ he snorts, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet up on the adjacent one as he takes a bite. he's watching her closely and pretending he's not. ]

You sick or something?

[It's obvious what he's doing, but she doesn't call him on it. She doesn't lie, either.]

I don't know. I woke up this morning feeling... off.

[And now this.]

Like Alex felt off? [ he lifts his eyebrows, if something happened you have to tell the detective!! them's the rules he didn't make 'em. ]

[Her mouth twists.]

No. I don't think so. His was... worse.

[Faster, anyway.]

Yeah. [ soft even as he reaches for his... milk or whatever it is, drinking some down. ] Did you see ghosts too?
