CHARACTERS: Netherlands and YOU!
LOCATION: oxygen gardens, all the kitchens every single kitchen
WARNINGS: mopey sadsacking, mild drug use, the usuals
SUMMARY: catchall for general interactions and/or job training
NOTES: it’s starter options a-go-go in here. despite that if there’s something else you want just throw it down and let’s go or poke me to hash out the details


GARDENS

[If you’re looking for him, he’s not too hard to find. Relative to the size of the Gardens, that is - they’re massive, but so is he, and he frequently can be found between rows of hydroponics on the first level with a bright orange bicycle by his side, sometimes with a hoverdolly full of produce or supplies hooked to the back.

Other times he’s speeding from one end to the other; easy to find, much harder to flag down.

In the event that he isn’t attached to his bike, rest assured that it’s locked up in one of the sheds while he’s finishing up the current bikeless activity. Dragging it to the upper levels is a pain in the ass and impractical besides, so anyone encountering him there will only find him outfitted with jumpsuit, combat boots, a ship-issued phaser - and his trusty toolbelt thing slung around his waist for the extra pocket space. He needs those pockets, okay, he’s got a lot of shit to carry around.]

---

[Hatter’s old tea shop no longer has tea on offer, certainly doesn't keep the company it used to, nor do a small assortment of musty couches make for a decent lounge area. But it’s still where Netherlands chooses to take his breaks. Sometimes it’s a break for lunch, or dinner, but the first couple of weeks after the jump it’s mostly a place to go so that he won’t break down in the middle of a row.

If he spends a little too long staring at nothing with a cigarette in-hand, well, whatever. And if he occasionally smokes something a little stronger than a cigarette, well, that does more to get him back to work than staring off into space does.]



KITCHENS

[Delivering produce to the kitchens isn’t his job, but lately the department’s strapped enough that he finds himself face-first in every deck’s pantry once a week or so.

Unfortunately, there are a few very, very good reasons that he’s not the delivery guy. One, his driving skills leave something to be desired and they’re even worse when said vehicle is a hovercart, two, he prefers to stay in the Gardens when he’s on the clock. But the biggest reason of all is because - ]


No one knows how to clean a goddamn kitchen, [he gripes to himself, whether the kitchen’s occupied or not. The words are always a harbinger of an onslaught of wrathful kitchen purification to come.

Maybe it’s rotting lettuce pulled from the back of a refrigeration unit, or a spill on the counter, or smudges on the stove - doesn't matter, every floor but his own will have something for him to find fault with. And gripe about. Colorfully. But he can’t fucking leave a mess like that without it bothering him for the rest of the day, so cleaning and bitching it is.

- delivering produce is a day-long endeavor, when he does it.]

[ ned arrives with pigby in tow, since he'd discussed where she should live with this guy earlier. his usual bright smile is in place and he has no trouble at all tracking the other man down. ] Hello! [ he waves a hand before wandering closer. ]

Is now a good time? ...I'm Ned. The pie maker.

[ his face fell - just a little - at the mention of his face. but he had known roy, he knows thranduil. and he knows of garret. he can make it not weird anymore by shear will alone. but even when it wasn't weird for him, it was weird for other people. he knows it's what makes his friendship with anderson so strained. he hopes this won't be the same. ]

I get that a lot. [ the handshake gives him only a second of pause, giving a firm one in return. he quickly wipes his hand off on his trousers afterward, but his smile doesn't falter. ]

[personal profile] onetouch 2014-04-18 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
No... I'm not. [ he frowns, stopping himself from apologizing. netherlands isn't even accusing him of anything but not being a man that he isn't, and yet it feels like a criticism. like everyone would rather roy be here than ned, a similar looking fellow with an equally short name and yet he's nothing like roy and he knows he never will be. (nor does he want to be.) he's he and that simply has to be enough. ] And I never will be.

[ ned isn't bothered by the bossiness or shoddy explanations. instead he just nods, trailing after his host. ]

Roy was... Roy. But I wouldn't say he sucked. He had a very particular way about him, that's all.

[Elizabeth didn't mind coming right away. She's dressed in a plain gown though her hair is pulled back so it's out of the way. She may be a queen but that doesn't mean that she's not used to working with her own two hands.

When she sees the other at the entrance of the gardens, she gives a nod of her head with a smile.]


I assume you were the one I spoke to an hour ago? I am Elizabeth, do forgive me for not introducing myself earlier.
twicequeen: (curious)

[personal profile] twicequeen 2014-04-11 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Netherlands, it is a pleasure to meet you in person then. Elizabeth takes his hand into hers, she's still getting used to shaking hands but her grasp is more gentle before she releases it shortly.

She also doesn't recognize his name as that of a country so while she thinks it's an odd one, her smile doesn't falter.]
Shall we begin?
twicequeen: (curious)

[personal profile] twicequeen 2014-04-12 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Elizabeth nodded as she followed him, looking around. She's uncertain about the technology, it's still foreign to her but the world has changed around her, she knows she must learn and this is a good place to start.

As they reached the terminals, she looked at him curiously.]
Is this where we'll be working?

kitchens! AND i hope you don't mind a seriously belated tag. ;;

[ The kitchen's actually pretty deserted today, which suits October perfectly fine; it means she can make some coffee and hog it all to herself while she sits up on the counter, one foot on the edge with the other leg dangling over. Today she's got a bag of space... something - she's not really sure what it is, but it tastes like some kind of freeze dried vegetable, so she figures it's safe - propped up against her leg and a book in one hand. Her cup of coffee is off on the other side, slowly growing cold as she flips the page.

She doesn't really hear Netherlands when he first comes in, mostly because of the book, but she definitely hears him griping to himself. She starts a little and looks up, eyebrows raised and knit together slightly in surprise and confusion. Seeing who it is, though, she can't help but let out a quiet huff; of course he's grumbling to himself. ]
You know, if you do that too often, people are going to start thinking you're insane.

[ October's eyebrows raise when she sees him hit his head and she shifts, like she's about to get down and make sure he's okay, but he doesn't draw any attention to it himself, so she settles back down. Still, that looked like it hurt and she's almost got a sympathy headache for him.

Her thumb moves to bookmark her place as she closes the book around it, resting her arm between her stomach and her leg, amusement coloring her features at the look on his face. ]
My opinion doesn't matter to you? [ The corner of her mouth lifts slightly in a disappointed gesture. ] That sucks.

[personal profile] gothchicklit 2014-04-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
{ That grin she had been fighting off spreads wide across her face after a moment or two of watching him. She can't help it, though, not with the way he's pouting at her. (Besides, if she can't get amusement out of the little things, she's completely fucked because this place doesn't exactly lend itself well to surviving mentally without doing so.) ]

You are way too easy to provoke, you know that? [ She pulls her other foot up onto the edge of the counter, arms resting on her bent knees in front of her. ] What were you bitching about, anyway? [ She hadn't really heard what he was saying, just could hear he was talking to himself. ]

[Hyperion so just happens to be passing by when he spots the hovercraft, hands shoved in his pocket, brows arched with more than just passing curiosity. Truth be told, he isn't one of the people who make a mess in the kitchen because he isn't one to cook much at all. He just scrapes around for whatever fast food he can get and takes off with it.

Speaking of taking off, that craft looks like it\'d be hell of a lot of fun to speed down an endless hallway. Surely its own won't mind if he gives it a try, right?]

[personal profile] nightblogs 2014-04-19 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Hyperion gets that it's supposed to be working - what he doesn't get is why it won't get past that. Making a face, he starts to push and pull at anything that looks like it'll change this fact, until he eventually turns into the good ol' technique of smacking it around and hoping it'll kick.]

C'mon, stupid thing.

Hyperion falls on his ass completely with the startle, no biggie. He really should be better at being sneaked up on, really.]
