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.]

gardens!
Is now a good time? ...I'm Ned. The pie maker.
this tag is so tl;dr fff apologies
Usually, that is. This time he gives Ned an expression like he's just sucked on a surprise sour core at the middle of his tootsie pop, because he knows that face and to see it cheerfully socializing is a trip.]
Uh. Yeah, uh - hi.
[He holds his hand out and gives his head a shake at the same time, hopes that Ned's been around for long enough that his subsequent explanation doesn't make him sound like he should be thrown into the - whatever the ship has for a psych ward, right now.]
Sorry. Remind me of some - people. Your face.
NO YOU ARE PERFECT sorry i'm slower than desert tortoises protected by the govt
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. ]
slows into the void along with you!!!
well Roy sucked, and this guy doesn't seem to - and with that thought in mind, Netherlands shoves the issue aside. This guy isn't Roy. In fact - ]
You're not Roy.
[Punctuated with a sincere nod! As if Ned the Piemaker had any doubt that he was not, in fact, someone else.]
tags u from my phone and fails at everything
it's all good /o/
Good. That guy sucked.
[Annnd apparently that truly impressive feat of language all he has to say about that, as he jerks his head back toward the interior of the Gardens and turns, headed for the stairs to the second level, fully expecting Ned to follow. Dude's bossy like that.]
Animals, first.
[Ace explanation, right.]
<3
Roy was... Roy. But I wouldn't say he sucked. He had a very particular way about him, that's all.

gardens
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.
no subject
Yeah. Netherlands - [he starts to hold out his hand, second-guesses, and leaves it hovering near to his body in the space between them, ready to drop at the first sign it won't be shaken] - or, uh. Yeah.
[Sorry Elizabeth, he's an awkward turtle.]
no subject
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?
no subject
So she seamlessly moves them from introductions to business and his opinion of her skews ever more favorable. Business, that he can do.]
Yeah. C'mon.
[With a jerk of his head he starts walking, away from the hydroponic fields of the first level and toward the many side terminals that nest beneath the overhang of the upper levels.]
no subject
As they reached the terminals, she looked at him curiously.] Is this where we'll be working?
no subject
The terminals, however, are something else. More akin to a workbench, there are grow lights hanging low above damp work desks, an assortment of tools to piece seed and rock wool and trays together scattered around, all generally in the correct location but not quite - like they were tossed there rather than placed.]
It's usually, ah - more clean. Than this.
[So, yes. But rather than looking embarrassed, he looks pissy, and starts cleaning up this individual workstation.]

kitchens! AND i hope you don't mind a seriously belated tag. ;;
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.
of course not hello! I'll be here all month /o/
Of course as soon as he sees that it's October, his shoulders slump and he forcefully pretends that none of that ever happened. Instead he shoots her a look halfway between pissy and pouty, starts making his way toward her.]
Don't care.
[Though as soon as he says it, he bites his lip, corrects - ]
Don't care if you do.
<333
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.
no subject
That's not - no!
[He stops right there, a little too far from where she's sitting for his journey to be complete, and crosses his arms like a giant pouty child. In the back of his mind there's the thought that she's just trying to get a rise out of him, but. It worked.]
no subject
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. ]
no subject
Netherlands is actually a 16 year old cheerleader txt it.]

( kitchens ) i am late as butts
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?]
this party lasts all month there is no late
Unfortunately for Hyperion's Space Mutiny plans, the hovercarts are programmed to Staff nanites - so it'll start, but it won't go.]
were up all night to get lucky
C'mon, stupid thing.

no subject
Hyperion falls on his ass completely with the startle, no biggie. He really should be better at being sneaked up on, really.]
Whoa! What the hell, man?
no subject
really hyperion you should be videotaping this it's good blackmail
he ends up landing on a huff and his right foot and good old fashioned glare, though, takes a few seconds to angrily gesture with his left hand between Hyperion on the floor and the rumbling space machine to their left, eyebrows doing overtime.]
