Trying Not to Die: a one-shot (Knightress and Ixiel)

Ikusen shrugged. "Sometimes he does that. He's not all crazy, you know. There's a calculating side to him that comes out every once in a while. I've never heard him talk like that, but maybe that was him." Ikusen wiped beets off the wall. He eyed Aylek. "Do you need more than a few hours to get this ship where we're going? Daisy's in the mood to make good on his threats. I can keep him asleep for longer." He looked uncomfortable. "You're the only one who can keep the ship flying right now, so I'd rather he didn't kill you."

Daisy watched the Deither fiddle with the controls cautiously. When he felt the thrusters rumbling under his feet, he lowered his sword, sliding it into his scabbard and turning away. "Fine, then." he said tersely, as if he regretted his outburst. (He didn't) Just a few more hours, and I can finally get on something. This stupid ship is boring; I want something to do. The ginger thought restlessly. He spoke without turning. "I'm going to bed. It would be. . . advisable, if we were very much near our destination upon my awakening."
"Why are you talking like that?" Ikusen asked, wiping the last of the water off the floors.
"Like what?" Daisy looked confused. "I'm talking like I always do." He looked strangely at Ikusen, who returned the look. After a moment, Daisy shook his head, as if to clear it, and strode out.

Daisy

Daisy opened a can of beets by slicing it open with his sword, sending them spraying over the table, Ikusen's jacket, and part of the wall. Ikusen gave him a despairing look. "your sword is rusty. You can't eat those."
"There is no try, there is only do, or do not." Daisy said sagely, peeling a beet off of the table and sticking it in his mouth. "AYLEKKKK," he hollered, "When can we leave?!"
Daisy threw himself down on the couch he hadn't bothered to move back to it's proper place. "I'm bored. And wet."
"So go change, like the rest of us." Ikusen suggested.
The ginger man considered this for a few moments. Finally, he got up and walked out, looking as though he hadn't considered this before. He flicked the lights on in his chambers and removed the blasters and sword hung at his hips. A few minutes later he replaced them over his customary cream shirt and plaid jeans before walking out again. His mood had changed with the clothes. "Aylek!." he snapped. "I want to be at this planet within 24 hours. Or so help me god," -He drew his sword and pointed it at the Deither- "I'll use your internal organs for a necklace."

"Is there any button that you didn't push?" The Deither asked
"As a matter of fact I missed the large red one in the upper left corner." Daisy waved vaguely in that direction with a potato chip. "I can get it now if you want.

"It's like we've been running on duct tape and dreams."
"We have, actually. I'm pretty sure of it." Daisy nodded. "That's pretty much all we have left. But if you say we can get to this planet, great! I can rob, lie, and con my way into enough money to buy a harem."

"Daisy, we want to fix the ship, not buy a harem." Ikusen was mopping up the floor, his soaked shirt discarded on the table.
"I never said I was going to actually buy a harem, I just said that we could . Just keeping our options out there." Daisy shrugged. "you guys want some dinner? I'm starving. I could eat an entire cruise ship, orphans and all."
" Daisy! " Ikusen snapped.
"Just because I can doesn't mean I will." Daisy retorted. "Besides, there aren't any cruise ships around." He rummaged in the cupboards, using a rather nefarious looking chair as a stool. "You guys like beets? I have like 500 cans of beets. We don't even need a cruise ship. We have beets."

Daisy
"Yes, actually." Daisy replied. "I'm sitting in it right now. Ikusen, get some snacks." Ikusen shut off the sprinklers, sighing heavily. He chucked a bag of chips in Daisy's general direction.
"Shouldn't we, you know, clean up the water everywhere?" He asked, ringing out his jacket and shaking his hair.
"Good idea." Said Daisy. "I'll open a window!" Ikusen screamed loudly enough this time.
"Whatever, then. Aylek, why don't you come in here and get us flying again?" Daisy looked over at the lion huddled on the floor. "What's wrong with you, anyway?" Daisy stood, walking over to the cupboards and poured himself a glass of juice. "So I was thinking like, when we find a planet, we should totally stop and get some supplies. If I ever figure out where we're going, it's probably far away from here. We're running out of goldfish crackers. And baking powder."
"That's not baking powder!" Ikusen looked horrified. "When did you get that?! And how'd you get it on the ship?"
"My pocket?" Intoned Daisy. "The security's not exactly up to TSA standards here." He sighed dramatically. "Come on, Aylek, fly me to the moon. Like into the moon. Straight at it. If we went at full speed, how fair would we get inside of a moon before we stopped? Let's find out."

Daisy

"If I knew, it wouldn't be happening!" The ginger yelled, clutching the side of the bridge and pressing every button he could reach without losing his grip. "Ikusen!" Daisy hollered. "You're supposed to be the smart one, you do something!"
Ikusen, who had flattened himself against the wall, shook his head. "Not moving!"
Daisy sighed. "I have to do everything myself. And quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of it." Having thrown his tantrum, he crawled back to the cockpit. "Aylek! Should I slam on the brakes?!" he yelled. "I'm hitting the brakes!!" Before Ikusen had time to scream the multiple reasons why slamming the brakes would be a terrible idea, Daisy had hit all of the buttons he decided might be the brakes. Evidently one of them was, because the ship careened to a stop. Daisy slammed into the windshield, groaning. Ikusen was ripped from his place on the wall and catapulted across the bridge, landing with a thud. The other button he'd pressed was a sprinkler, which responded almost as well as the brakes had, drenching the crew.
"Daisy. . Why?" Ikusen gasped, making a feeble effort to get up.
Daisy peeled himself off the window. "You should all be thanking me. I saved you all."
