you’re sort of confusing me. @itsbuck

Chimney groans, loud and annoyed. Jee, sitting on floor before him, turns and flashes a concerned, questioning look in his direction.

"Sorry, Jee," He says softly and is pleased when her attention turns back to the toys on the coffee table she's been shuffling around the last ten minutes. She should be down for a nap, but she's been fighting them the last few days and while Chim's on track to return to the station soon, his stamina still isn't what it used to be. He can't handle a two-hour long toddler tantrum.

Honestly, he's sparring Buck from the torture too.

His gaze narrows back on Buck. "It's a written recipe, man. How hard can it be?" Obviously, his verbal synopsis hadn't been helpful. In all likelihood, the recipe clutched in Buck's hand wouldn't be much help either. Neither his mom or Mrs. Lee used a lot of measurements in their cooking, and when they did, they tended to be only be proportions.

you’re sort of confusing me. // @dumbthink

Head propped up with his fist, at first glance, Jim looks bored. In most circumstances that requires the use of his ready room, an extravagant office he doesn't utilize in favor of the bridge and informal meetings dotted across the ship, his boredom would be appropriate. There are some elements of captaincy that Jim has never fully adapted too.

This, though, isn't some typical meeting that requires his attention. Nor is it boredom playing across Jim's features. No, it is confusion that pulls his expression.

"I'm the confusing one," he repeats, eyebrows drawing together for a second before relaxing to something more neutral. "I'm not the one claiming to travel space and time through someone's mind."

"I know I'm right," he interrupts softly; it's an easy, natural bit of humor. A chance to gloat that ultimately doesn't harm anyone. Sibling teasing at it's finest.

It's comforting for all of two seconds before Gracie's question. His face falls. He doesn't like the question and it's only softened by Gracie's tone. As far as he can tell, there's no heat or pointedness to it.

"No, he told me to get out of his house." And while their parents had timed that conversation for a time Gracie was conveniently out of the house, she had certainly seen the fallout. He left in the summer, rather than the fall, and didn't talk to much for anyone.

"don't be, not your fault you got born with the brain." she really really didn't blame him for being smart. being smart and not using his intelligence would be a lot worse actually.

gracie nodded. she was only one hard seltzer deep but she was getting to the point of the spiral where she was regretting drinking at all because all this serious talk didn't sit well with it. "i guess you're probably right. i just- i don't want her to live vicariously through me studying." that wasn't even right, that wasn't what their mom was doing. she was just caring in an overbearing way. it was different.

"dad do this to you when you joined up?"

“Was loving me really that hard?”

It is a familiar look. He's seen it a dozen times from their mom and June alike. It is a startling realization, perhaps a belated one as well, just how alike the two look. Same chin, same narrowed gaze.

Same ability to make Alex want to shrink back. His skin prickles, but Alex tries not wiggle under June's gaze.

There may be no shame in needing to ask for help, but that's not supposed to be Alex. He's supposed to be the charming smile, effortlessly cool and held together when his world goes to shit.

"Oh, really? Last week you told me you were cutting me off permanently."

June's witnessed Alex's bad days. June's supported Alex through his bad days. They have a pattern, a routine, and it doesn't matter how hard she reassures him that she's always there, always available for him to talk to or bounce ideas off.

--- so why's he being so resistant now?

"You know I know how capable you are with these things, Lil' Bit," she sighs, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she settles her brother with a look that very clearly says that while she loves him, he's being unreasonable, "there's no shame in asking for a bit of help."

And she almost always has time to help him out --- so she's not even going to dignify that with much more than another look. "C'mon, spill your guts and I'll buy you coffee."

He grins, delight illuminating his entire face, dark circles and all. Another might doubt Gracie's sincerity; it's late, his question impulsive, and the situation less than ideal, but Mickey is sure of Gracie. He's sure of them, their relationship.

"Okay," he agrees. Details and logistics tomorrow. This morning. He's a little fuzzy with the time. It's a testament to how tired he is, that the excitement doesn't translate to the familiar rush of speech and giddiness. Instead, his eyelids droop and he's half way to sleep.

at first she wasn't sure if she heard him right, but then it settled over her and she understood perfectly. she knee it was a question that deserved more thought, but she didn't want to give it any. the answer just flowed out of her. "yes." it sounded like she was answering a question with a lot more weight, but she would have answered that one too in the same way.

"we can figure the details out in the morning, or later." neither of them were awake enough for logistics although she wasn't sure if she could fall asleep now. she was too excited that they wouldn't have to be hours apart for the next three months. as close as they were now got to be an every night thing soon.

CAITLIN STASEY as SASKIA VAN DER BEEK CLASS OF ‘07 (2023- ) Soul-Crushing-Cycle

[fyrewalks]

Loud, crowded open mic nights at the bar should be the last place Bob wants to be on a week night. There's a reason why the night does so well for Penny, why Avi is right to doubt Penny would ever cancel it. Alcohol is a powerful social lubricant - it gets people on stage and keeps the crowd entertained when the singer is nothing but.

Bob does, actually, beg off Wednesday nights sometimes, and yet something keeps him coming back. Sure, he does actually enjoy spending time with his friends, even if not drinking, but sometimes he also likes blending in with the crowd, being a forgettable face, and enjoying the view.

It's a little tragic actually, being a gay guy in the Navy, surrounded by fit and capable men and not being able to act on most of it.

"Hey, they're not all pool tournaments," he protests, moving onto another box to search. Bob could just as easily poke at her tanked up pilots comment, but self preservation wins out. It'd be too easy for Avi to turn it around on him.

"There's darts too. And a running poker game." That's actually not really supposed to be talked about.

❛ i think you'd have a fight on your hands if you wanted her to put a cork in open mic night ... ❜ avi can only snort at the thought of at least one hundred sailor being told they can't sing sweet caroline for the millionth time. let alone rooster not having the opportunity to serenade them all again. though he didn't really need the excuse of open mic night to decide to give them the greatest hits tour of his vast and not at all annoying repertoire.

❛ trivia night is for the people. and by people, i mean nerds. like us. we need our time to shine - and it doesn't include embarrassing ourselves in a room full of tanked up pilots. ❜

those days have sailed. long gone. no , these days avi was all about the sunsets and actually taking time to appreciate what was going on around her - and if that included looking over to the piano a couple more times that was strictly necessary what did it matter. no one ever noticed. at least she didn't think any of them had.

❛ like, how many pool tournaments does the bar have running right now ? at least five at last count. i think i can make a good argument for streamlining ... ❜
