Transcendent: Darkness Rising (A Sci-Fi Roleplay)

I wasn't surprised that Sel had seen right through me. Lying was hardly my strongsuit; I had gotten decent at perverting the truth back when I first started, but it wasn't quite the same thing. With a sigh, I resort to plan A, sheathing an arm of the glasses in my chest pocket.

"It happened at zeh jump...or at least I think?" Kaite explained in a mild defeated tone, expressing their disappointment in the lie. "I estimate about five to ten minutes lost wherein I managed to get from the bridge to my room" the elaboration went, his tone growing formal as if it was part of the job. His behavior could be considered strange, nervous one moment and almost inappropriately collected at another. It was a defense mechanism in a way, responding to stress with a deep breath and stepping away from himself to apply logic to his situation. It had helped, considerably, in his earlier days since it was hard to get things done while fighting off the adrenaline from new-job stress.

I didn't mention the change of clothes...and ruining Rodger's face...and having an awkward conversation with what I am now convinced had been my washing machine during...whatever it was.

He stifled a small laugh, "I vouldn't suppose anyvone has evaer fainted and started sleepwalking?" It would have made sense of his 'dream', although an itch of doubt in the back of his head made it hard to enjoy the image he had of someone passing out in a chair before getting up and walking off to make a sandwich.
"Do people dream when they pass out?" He couldn't help himself but ask, curiosity getting the best of him.

"N-no, not really..." he started, one of his ears turning slightly as he took off his glasses, turning them off as he cleaned the lenses. It was off the record, or at least any record he was keeping. "Has anyvone evaer come to you vith a concern about memory loss...today?" The question went, Kaite poorly catching himself on the end to try and make it seem more like an investigation of sorts...hopefully with an assumed misunderstanding with English? Frankly, the jump to cloak and dagger was unexpected since he had resolved himself to being up front about it while he was waiting. Cursing himself, he decided to commit.
"I vahzn't aware zeht it vahz a possibility~" Kaite added in a musing tone, hoping to work an answer out of Sel while pacing a few steps, doing careful work in cleaning the wired glass lenses. At a point, he held them up to check for smudges, the reflection of the glow from his eyes catching in small glints as he continued to comment, "At least not on zeis ship."

Okay, now, I AM interested, but shit has been getting in my way. I intend on posting.

I'm really sorry about the wonkey activity. Comcast has been doing work on our network since its been giving off strange signals that jam nearby houses or something...
I still want to finish this exchange and now that we're out of another holiday weekend, I should be good.

EDIT: Doin' mah best to power through writer's block.
Mind: Screw it, break character! Here, just imagine Kaite with sultry senpai eyes!
Me: Oh... '_' *writes*

While I waited, I had thought about writing something else in the journal, but forgot what it was. It was probably more exposition of some sort, but I wasn't feeling it, it was hard to focus while I waited.
Achieng came out and our eyes met, probably longer than they should. The softness within the topaz ripples worked at something I hadn't expected, like her eyes pushed right into mine. I wasn't sure if I liked it...

"Ah, jeh..." I mused with a nod, watching her tank whir off down the hall. The line had thinned down to a few mingling around outside, complaining amongst themselves about 'the glory of technology and its inability to make 'seatbelts' for slipspace. Something to that effect, at least.

Kaite stepped into the room, remaining silent until Sel had settled and the door had closed. "You've had experience vith slip-sickness?" he asked, trying out a term he was thinking of for what people had. His assumption was based on Sel's rediness to help the crew. It more of a rhetorical question with that in mind, setting the stage for his next question, "Vaht vould be zeh vorst of symptoms zeht you've seen?"
If it turned out that memory loss and hallucinations were an occurrence, he'd probably just leave it at that.

Oh, the first post was edited.
I guess I'll start working on an intro.

EDIT: Jeez, I usually don't like being the 'first post'.

Transcendent: Darkness Rising (A Sci-Fi Roleplay)

I'll start something today, but I don't hope to finish it before tomorrow. Prepping for easter parties and stuff.

Hey Pathfinder, we should team up. :P

Transcendent: Darkness Rising (A Sci-Fi Roleplay)
