out of measure, in sync
Jan. 25th, 2019 09:18 pmokay so here's the thing... a couple years ago i started talking about some alien characters of mine on tumblr, and a couple of folks got pretty attached to them and then i got pretty attached to them. and then i got writer's block and graduated college and started playing games more often than not so i set that project aside.
and then dora decided to make a character that was basically an expy of an older noble character they'd been playing in an rp group we were both in and i was like hey... what if i made our favorite silly crack pairing canon by pairing your stuffy noble with my space pirate captain?
and the rest is history.
this is canon for that story but it's not going to be IN the story proper. it's just sort of a teaser for what's to come, since i'm going to write the main story... eventually. florence/jethro and the first conversation they get to have in private after florence comes onboard the altair.
Being on the Altair was... chaos, to say the least. Even in the days when Victoria had been in command of the fleet things were done in orderly fashions, with regiments and schedules and all sorts of other things. Jethro's crew was... nothing like orderly.
Florence found themself tripping over weapon parts nearly every other day, because she'd holed up in an airlock to clean her weapons. They passed the cockpit and found Elila in conversation with seemingly no one, laughing at jokes only she could hear. Winona always stared with her huge eyes, even once Florence had passed her by. And Percy... well. Percy was half human. That was only the tip of the iceberg of weirdness that was Percy.
Varira was nice enough. And besides, Florence wasn't here to take charge of this fleet. Nor were they here to be a part of this fleet. This was a favor. Just a ride to Leminn Prime. Nothing more.
Even if... if Jethro was here.
