any ship name's good with me :0 i was
thinking maybe naming it after a comet
to make a bad joke that humans mistaken
it for a comet but yknow bebop is great.
i have yet to see both space dandy and
cowboy bebop, and i've been meaning to
but seasonal anime demands my attention.
also, workin' hard on forms over here :,)
i hope to have kazuko done later today!!

[aho]

Sorry I'll be busy the whole week since school started I'll be mostly active on weekends.

And I think Asuka would be suited for Hephaestus as her home planet c:

[noun]

@matsu ahh space dandy is another one i have yet to watch err, gotta get on that and catch up on my space animes
oH MY GOODNess if i have more of that to look forward to as well as stupid puns than i will be having a good future oml
i really like stupid puns ok, they are part of what keeps me alive

eyyy guess what surprise ship info dump time weeeee

so the bebop, from my understanding is actually pronounced "Beep-bop", is not actually called the bebop but has the serial number(and by extension label/name) of B3-60P and is referred to as "bebop" as a form of slang, compassion for the vehicle and it is also easier to say than it's official title. Since Wasi is not a military, it does not have "fighter ships" or vehicles, meaning machines and or vehicles specifically designed for fighting in battles. It does however have things classed as "peace-keepers", "patrollers" and ships whos intended purpose is strictly defense-driven as, despite being neutral, the Wasi has quite the amount of enemies and it's members and officials are often attacked on a regular basis by other solar systems, space pirates and criminals and possibly even radicals from their own star system. The Bebop is a Patroller, as they regularly patroll certain routes as well as other areas if they are told to do so, they are also one of the ships responsible for traveling far and wide to transfer cargo, people or messages, to sum it up they run errands. Cause i don't really feel like describing the ship in detail, the exterior looks pretty much like the serenity from the show firefly except the light is blue rather than orange/golden and the ship overall is a bit shiny-er and smooth looking. The inside however, is not like the serenity at all and is rather chic and clean-looking as the walls are either a sturdy grey metal or have a bright white covering over the metal as the white also serves as insulation and protection of wires as well as other databases and delicate technology, giving the ship and overall "spacey-feel" to those who are not used to such things, like earthlings.

The Bebop has many rooms, such as the cockpit which has it's own extended loft that serves as a larger control panel for other crew members to assist with flying(ie navigation, technical monitoring, etc.), yes there are spiny chairs, no they do not have wheels they are secured to a sliding bar so they can slide from one side of the panel to the other with ease. There is also the medical center/infirmary that is also connected to the science lab where experiments are done and specimens are held, the conjoined room is one that is covered in all bright white panels but each sides have not-so-hidden drawers, shelves and cabinets(among other things) that are usually stored within the walls but can be taken out of hiding with something as simple as a poke in the right spot. The walls, not only for the medical/science area but for everywhere with white walls, also have the capability to present data as well as store it, it is mainly a "touch screen" like concept but remotes and controls can be used, it tends to not project data in black or grey, but in colors like green, purple, red and blue. The letters, characters, numbers and pictures have a holographic look to them as they are in a way holograms. There are also the bunks, there are 8 single bunks and 6 bunks that can be shared, though the bebop currently has no furniture for any of their shared bunks, hence why the kiddos are sleeping on the floor for now. All of the bunks have full bathrooms, though no bath tubs only showers, which are rather strange in design as there is no facet, water just falls from the ceiling like rain.
There is also the main "engine" room, though the ship doesn't necessarily run on an engine but on a core that it harvests/uses energy from and the room is used to maintain, stabilize, monitor and alter the core at need. The Engine room has white walls and also is a storage place for lots of the ships data, as well as a storage for whatever other gadgets or technology any crew members may have hoarded away or are tinkering with. There's a kitchen which isn't very extravagant, it has plain grey walls and is only a bit larger than your average closet, which is a feature that could definitely be improved as there is plenty of empty space for it to expand in to. There's a "living area" between the cockpit loft and the kitchen, it's above the engine room as the engine room is on the bottom floor along with all the bunks, and the med/science lab is on the top floor along with the training room and a few other storage rooms. The living area has a few places to sit, things like sofas and arm chairs that may or may not have been swiped from earth as they are more comfortable than the seating arrangements Wasi provides, a card table as well as a coffee table and a few boxes similar to milk crates. It's a grey walled area that is pretty much used for lounging, unofficial meetings, quick sleeps between missions and the like.
The training room is a big open space with gray walls and windows above it allowing those in the room to see the space outside around them, the floors are slightly softer as they are padded and it is basically the place where the crew can practice fighting or workout by themselves or with each other, the kiddos will probably have to spend some time up there if it is decided they are to become crew members. In the Training room is where most of the weapons for when face to face combat is necessary are stored as well as where the two Knight suits are kept. The knight suits are large, full body armor suits that can adjust to any body size, they have somewhat of a knight-like appearance to them and are a shiny chrome in color. Not only do they act as armor but they also double as a "space suit" allowing those who wear one to be able to leave the ship and go straight out into space if necessary, they are very heavy and cannot be moved with out someone operating them, they do have air takes, they are very large but they should nevertheless be refilled after every space-use. Most of the time the suits are used for when the ships ambassador is going to another ship or any other sort of space station, even if they are fellow Wasi members, the Ambassador either wears one themselves and is accompanied by another ship member for additional protection, or doesn't wear a suit at all and is accompanied by two ship members in the suits for protection. As mentioned earlier, they can be used out in space so if external repairs need to be made on the ship one would wear a Knight suit, and they, of course, are used for combat if deemed necessary.

whoops i think that's it for now, i may have left out a bunch of stuff so as always don't be afraid to ask about anything or for more details
you can always assume stuff about the rooms too, we don't necessarily need strict black and white descriptions of how everything is, we can just wing it in some aspects haha

@jinx ah yeah i think that's what was agreed to go down, though i wonder, should we have the kiddos be extra confused and not give them those language devices while their asleep? or just have the cadets put them on the sleeping kiddos to avoid the confusion? i'm fine with either but kind-of like the idea of a bunch of confused kids that can't even understand half of each other, let alone the weird space people in front of them but idk
ahh yes another detail that i probably forgot to mention, so basically, i think i put this in the plot somewhere but my memory often fails me but anyway the reason the kiddos were picked up was because you know the negative emotions and needing a second chance in life. That is the main reason but the reason Wasi/HQ even does that is partially because it's good for the kiddos to have a new start on life and partially for population control, when one planet starts to get a little low, rather than migrating people from other planets the decide it's best to take people from an oblivious third party and introduce them into the planets population to hopefully help it increase or at least remain stable. So to sum it up the kiddos are basically taken to cheer them up so they can have a new space family, whether adoptive or one they make themselves. But, the cadets are not required to drop the kiddos on any given planet at any time, they are not necessarily required to drop them off at all because simply picking them up increased the systems overall population, essentially the cadets can do what they like with the kiddos, as long as it's humane you know? Some ships given kiddo missions usually tend to keep some and train them to be Wasi members and crew members or just keep them as good company. This is all done with consent of course, the kiddos are never forced to stay on a ship, they can stay or leave(to an assigned planet that is) as they wish, though for this rp i assume they will all decide to stay, or at least have to stick around long enough to change their mind and decide to stay.

so yeah, basically the HQ just takes some unhappy kids and plops them right into a new and possibly exciting lifestyle in hopes of keeping their people alive and well.
i assume the cadets will discuss what they want to do and maybe come to the conclusion they're a bit understaffed or could use a bit of a change of pace so they decide to keep the kiddos for a while and see how they "test out", and then later on reach the final conclusion, which will probably just be everyone staying.
i'm not to sure about that aspect so i'm open to ideas and suggestions

@( ͡° ͜ʖ ~) true true, nori is in a league of his own, he is his own league
omg thank you i am the flattered and the honored
cause wowza i impressed my great messiah today is a good day
i feel ya, he is a tech nerd and that is the mother land of tech nerds and dance dorks
it's best reality doesn't get to him, dork ignorance is bliss
i was thinking Persephone or Concordia for levi and pluto but i'll have to talk about that with melli
totally not influenced by the fact concordia is my favorite of the planets
oh i was meaning to ask, how is quil's last name pronounced? Is it just a plural form of "comet" or is it 'comet-tees" or "comet-s" or some other pronunciation since space language is weird?

ah yeah that would of been a good way to name it too! i mean there can always be nicknames for like, not only the ship but like the crew as a whole, like other people from wasi are like "oh hey you see those guys from the B3-60P? They're the Tenagra(or insert other comet name here) crew, you best watch out for them who knows what crazy things they might be up too, they've been by earth a few times." or something like that i suppose
and yeah space dandy and cowboy bebop have been on the watchlist for forever but i procrastinate by watching other anime
half of it is really cheesy stuff that i don't even know why i bother watching but welp here i am
ah great! i'm sure her form will be as beautiful and lovely as all your forms tend to be
oh boy now i'm excited to start again yeeeah

@chiisana ok, thanks for letting me/us know!
and ok, cool!

[Jιηx]

@noun ahhhh okay that makes more sense. you mentioned the whole sad kids thing, but i wasn't quite sure why they were just in the business of rescuing sad kids.
OH MY GOSH THAT SHIP TECHNOLOGY THOUGH kenai's going to geek out he loves figuring out how things work and he's just gonna be like, "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?"

also, in terms of the language thing, i really like the idea of the confused sad kids being even more confused because they can't understand each other.

also i'mma go add places of origin and languages to my form cause i've got literally nothing else to do.

[noun]

@jinx ah yeah i left so much unexplained whoops
though, i've learned that if you info dump on people right at the start it tends to scare them away so that's probably my main reason for being so vague, sorry
there's still so much i should talk about but that's two info dumps in two days i think we all need a break haha, moons of the sea give me strength amiright
oh and yes the technology, i really want to describe it in more vivid detail but it's hard to translate thoughts/metal images into words for me when it comes to things like this and also describing everything in perfect detail can make things a little boring sometimes, you know? you want to leave some things to imagination so everyone can imagine their own parts and picture things better in their own way i guess?

ah yes yes confused children are the best kind of children, i think the real fun part would be the cadets trying to convince the kiddos to put the devices on their ears omg

oh and yeah that's a good idea, i should do that for my flower boy

[Jιηx]

@noun no that's completely fine! i agree, too much information definitely scares people off, and i do prefer to be able to make my own conclusions about some things. that's what makes role playing so fun for me.

oh my gosh, yes. just imagine all these strange people surrounding you when you wake up, talking in a different language, and motioning something towards your ear.

[dorkasaurus]

j'ai fini B)

pfft i have nothing to add but
wowee all this effort/thought
that's going into this rp?? makes
me super happy you uwu can't
wait to start <3

hm hm >:D can we talk about
relations?
@( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - you know especially
how much i like to talk about
relations mmmhm

[Jιηx]

ooh, i'm up for talking about relationswith a real live meme!

[noun]

@jinx yeah I think about roleplays and ocs a lot so leaving things to imagination is a big part for me too, I just need to remember sometimes that my imagination isn't the same as everyone else's so I can't/shouldn't try and force my thoughts and mental images onto them

I don't know about your kids, but my hiro would/will have no part of strange space people trying to put something in his ear
no sir.
he may need to be restrained


@( ͡° ͜ʖ ~) ahhh yeah! Kazuko!! I think we'll start tomorrow for sure cause ahh everything is ready now and everyone is excited and just ahhh

Oh, I know how you're all about them relations as I am also all about them relations
and yes
yes we should talk about them


memes are life
memes are love
memes are me
meme machine

[dorkasaurus]

fun observation that's p pointless: there are 4 space kiddos
with first names ending with an o, and there are 4 cadets
with first names ending with an a. is this a sign from above.
laughs because would above be the space cadets n their peeps

---

hm hm so as usual im literally up to
any kind of relationship w/ my chars.
friends, enemies, crushes anything
really. ex-crushes/lovers/best friends
are good, too. ;0

aquila is v dorky dork who dances in
secret bc those earth idols just really
got to him. he'll prob be kinda hard
to get to know at first since he's
actually a lil bit shy around strangers,
but he ignores this by giving off that
cool guy aura. if anyone ever found
out about his dancing :,)))) rip him.

kazuko, on the other hand, is quite
lively and probably wouldn't mind
the whole earpiece thing?? her logic
would be "well they haven't killed me
yet so heck yeah imma try it". prob
not the best approach to foreign
things, so i can imagine that she'll
have to be held back quite a bit.

i dont think either of them really
have a romantic preference?? nah
maybe quil might leans slightly
more towards guys since girls are
a strange species but *wiggly arms*
who knows? if they're cute enough,
he might just get to nervous and
dorky to even talk. oops. kazuko
is probably the more pestering
type?? idk. im sure she'd be p
oblivious to the fact that she
might have a crush on someone,
so she might just come talk to
them more regularly or something.
idk.

//wow look at me ramble about
my idiotic characters lmao pardon
