[voice to all/action for bloody roses] backdated to 27 July 2014

[crankyshark]

 [the sounds of waves gently lapping against the side of a ship can be heard for a few seconds before a slightly concerned voice can be heard]

hey.... There's people in the water. I dunno if they're a threat or not. They swim away when I try to confront 'em...then as soon as I get back i
on the ship, they come back! What the heck....

[he doesn't sound too happy about their presence, but doesn't know what to do about it. He almost wants to attack them but they don't seem to be doing any harm]

Anybody know what's up with this? Has it happened before to those of you that have been here a while?

[crankyshark]

Um... [He looked at her, worried she'd get mad if he said no, but at the moment everything was super foggy. Maybe it would be easier to remember a bit later]

...no? I'm sorry? I remember sitting with you in the galley a while ago...

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye flopped angrily onto her stomach and pressed her face hard into her pillow. She thought about telling him the truth, or lying and saying that something completely different had happened. But then, she thought that some of what Thash did was only a result of drinking so much sap*

Is that it?

*Faye mumbled into her pillow before slowly sitting herself up. She stared at him for a brief moment, then dragged herself out of the duvet and off of the bed. Faye stood at her bedside table, feeling a tumble of not very nice emotions. She took her painkillers, and washed them down with the dregs of the sap from the bottom of her glass*

[crankyshark]

[hed woken up in a confusion with an awful headache and now Faye was mad at him...this was not going very well, he thought. He spoke to her in a quiet voice since being loud felt like it'd make the pain worse]

Hey, I'm sorry...I'm not just forgetting stuff on purpose, you know? Maybe I'll remember it later in like when I drank too much that first time...[he gave a small sigh] I can barely remember my own name right now...

[he lifted an arm and put it over his head and face, thinking some pressure might help] can you at least tell me why I'm not wearing pants...?

[myfayevalentine]

No. You're not.

*She knew he wasn't deliberately forgetting, but she didn't sound very pleased all the same. It was just her luck that they'd make some improvement with how things were going physically and that he'd forget. She threw him the painkillers, but gently, so that it would land just by his elbow*

You tried wearing them, but you couldn't get them on properly, so you decided just to keep them off. They're on the floor if you want them.

[crankyshark]

...oh. [he picked up the painkillers, processing what she said. He'd been unable to put his pants on right? He must've been really messed up...he glanced at the glasses beside the bed and started to remember what he'd been drinking at least...that sap stuff must have done it. He sat up slowly, still feeling awful as he swallowed the pills. He kind if wanted to put his pants on but with how crappy he felt, he figured why bother...it's not like she didn't see him in shorts pretty often. He really didn't want to stand up right now]

[so instead he sat there and tried to remember what happened and why Faye might be so mad about it. Had they done something she really wanted him to remember?....with him being underdressed in her bed and waking up the way he did, he started to worry a little. He felt too embarrassed to ask Faye what happened, though. He remembered her saying that since he could handle alcohol better she'd make sure things didn't get out of hand when they drank...it'd sound like he didn't trust her if he started asking questions like that]

Thanks... [he belatedly thanked her for the painkillers, hoping they'd take effect soon]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye sat down on the edge of her bed, back still slightly turned away from him. She felt, for some reaon she couldn't even explain, rather upset by all of this. Maybe that was as much a side effect of her hangover as her slight headache. Faye shrugged at his thanks, then looked down at her feet, sounding bitter when she spoke*

I didn't take them off you, if that's what you think. My clothes are still all on. If I was going totake advantage... We wouldn't have woken up wearing anything.

[crankyshark]

[thash looked over at her, his expression a little hurt and offended] why are you assuming I'm thinking that...? I don't think you'd do that. And I also figured we'd be wearing a lot less if we'd gone that far. I'm more worried that I might have done something while drunk that I'd be uncomfortable doing while sober or something like that... When I can't remember and you don't seem to want to tell me, I have no idea what to think.

[he looked away from her, focusing on the bed in front of his crossed legs. He was starting to kind of dislike drinking if things were always going to be like this when he drank too much. At least his headache was starting to slowly fade, and with it, some fuzzy memories were coming back]

[myfayevalentine]

*Then it was Faye's turn to look hurt and offended, realising that even though she'd told herself otherwise, maybe all that had happened he didn't really want to do*

You kissed me. We wound up that way that we do sometimes... Touching and kissing. But this time - This time you kissed me..where you haven't before. Then you fell asleep on me. Okay? That's it. That's all.

*She sounded pretty snappy, though not because she was annoyed at him falling asleep, but because she was beginning to think now that maybe he'd be disgusted to think that he'd done any of that. Faye glared at her bare feet, then stood up beside the bed, not really sure what to do with herself*

[crankyshark]

[perhaos she'd be pleasantly surprised that he didn't seem disgusted at all] oh... That's all? Well okay then. Where'd I kiss you and did you like it?

[he seemed more genuinely curious than worried now. He'd started to remember that whatever they'd done it had been very sensual...but if it had only been kissing, then maybe he'd been worried about nothing]

Man, I hope I remember it. It sounds like it was nice.

[myfayevalentine]

*When he didn't respond in a negative way, Faye turned quickly round to face him. Her arms were still crossed over her stomach, but she looked genuinely surprised to hear him sound curious about it*

Oh. You kissed - my stomach, my hips, my chest...

*She flushed as she recalled it, and how good it had felt too*

And I liked it. A lot. It was...very nice.

[crankyshark]

[he gave a small smirk as she described it, looking over her. He assumed she meant he'd kissed areas where skin was exposed, but then how had he kissed her stomach and hips...? Oh yeah, he finally recalled lifting her shirt a little. That wasn't such a bad thought]

[he liked that she was blushing and at least facing him now, but there was still a slightly unhappy feeling lingering...he thought he knew just the thing to get rid of it]

So I kissed your stomach huh....liiiike this? [he suddenly sprung over to her and grabbed her around the waist, turning her on her side and kissing her stomach...only this time he deliberately did it quickly so it'd probably tickle her. He'd practically tackled her but had managed to do so carefully enough not to accidentally hurt her]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye was glad to see Thash smiling, and she felt a heavy sense of relief that he didn't seem to hate the idea entirely. She could be brazen when talking about sexual things in the right context, but talking about just this in front of Thash kept her blush on her cheeks.

She was about to reply when he tackled her back onto the bed, and she gave a small scream of surprise, giggling when he quickly kissed her stomach. Faye lay there facing him, looking much cheered up already*

Close... But no, it wasn't quite like that...

[crankyshark]

[he laughed a bit, grinning at her reaction. But then his smile faded a bit and he sat up, rubbing the side of his head. The painkillers had helped a lot, but apparently the headache would come back a little if he didn't take it easy and it was currently throbbing unpleasantly. He also felt incredibly thirsty all of the sudden]

Heh...well, I'll have to see if I can get it right later, but right now...I really need some water. [he moved towards the edge of the bed to stand up]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye sat up slowly, feeling particularly thirsty and hungry herself now that he had mentioned it. As he moved to the edge of the bed, Faye reached over his shoulder to give him a kiss on the cheek, her arm moving around him in a half hug*

Aww, you poor thing.

*While she was only teasing, Faye was surprised with how tender her actions had been. That caught her off guard, and she quickly moved to stand up herself*

Right. Water and food is a good idea, I think.

[crankyshark]

[he was also surprised by how suddenly compassionate she was. He knew she cared, but she wasn't usually so obvious about it. He smiled a bit shyly at her and nodded]

Yeah, I agree. [he got up to head that way with her]
