-Easy to find a cab, sure, but Satsuki immediately started giving instructions on her destination in Japanese. The cabby was clearly not Japanese.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ well that was... weird. Jen laughed awkwardly and leaned forward. ]

Don't mind her. Just got back from a trip not too long ago. Still used to the cabs there.

Just head to the pier, please. We're on the biggest ship there. Caaan't miss it!

[ once that's done and they're on the way, she sits back and puts on her seatbelt. making sure Satsuki's got hers on, too. ] You must be wiped. You didn't even have that much...

[me_matey]

I remembered I hadn't really eaten anything except an Ensure shake since, like... 11 am? So the drinks hit me hard. That and the match wears me out. I promise I'm not a lightweight, there were extenuating circum... -She doesn't finish the word, just vaguely gesturing with her hand.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen is torn between her tipsy friend being adorable and worrying that she's going to be ill. ]

Just... don't throw up in the car, okay? It's not far, and then we can get you some water and plenty of rest. [ smirking, she pat Satsuki on the head. ] I'll berate you for skipping meals tomorrow.

[me_matey]

I promise not to do any of that if you tuck me into bed~

-She was entirely joking. But it was the point of the night where she didn't feel bad making those kind of jokes, either.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen made the kind of laugh where she had to cover her mouth. though covering her face was an attempt at hiding something else in her expression entirely. she looked away, too, out of the window as they were leaving the district behind. ] If you're not careful, you'll sleep with the fishes tonight.

[me_matey]

-Ah but she DID get a laugh, and that made Satsuki gleeful enough to wiggle in her seat.-

Will *they* tuck me into bed?

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen bit her lip. too precious. too... goddamn...

she gave her friend a sidelong glance. she ought not to encourage this. but that energy was infectious as always. ] Maybe. Into the worst waterbed imaginable.

[me_matey]

I'll just turn into a mermaid and live with the dolphins. -A bright giggle.-

[burndownforwhat]

And then what? Try to be the first mermaid wrestling attraction at SeaWorld?

[me_matey]

Don't even mention those bastards to me. Hate them. -Oh no, mood soured.-

[burndownforwhat]

Oof. Right. Forget I said it. [ Jen really should have known better. way to go.

at least they'll be pulling up to the docks soon, so if there's awkward silence to follow it won't last too much longer? ]

[me_matey]

-Well. Not complete silence. Satsuki sort of just pressed her forehead against the window and mumble sang an old song...-

Come all ye young fellows that follows the sea
To me, way hey, blow the man down
Now please pay attention and listen to me
Give me some time to blow the man down

I'm a deep water sailor just come from Hong Kong
You give me some whiskey, I'll sing you a song

[burndownforwhat]

[ oh, we're passing through Shanytown on the way to the Mayship? Jen found herself humming along quietly instead. barely a ghost of the tune. she didn't have a harmonica with her — which was probably good for the taxi driver. no tip would have made up for having to listen to that. ]

[me_matey]

-And there they were, the Mayship well visible from the road even without its safety lights all glowing in the night. Satsuki tried to pay the fare but... couldn't quite manage her purse.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ she reached over with her hand to steady Satsuki's. ] No worries. I've got this. [ mostly to avoid any embarrassing fumbling with bills. her tone carries more of an apology to it, too, for the earlier comment. whether or not her friend protests, she pays and tips the driver well in short order before stepping out and heading to the other side of the car. ]

[me_matey]

-It was fine. She could pay Jen back later. Satsuki got her belt unfastened and the door open, lifting up her knees to give the other woman a place to grab.-

[burndownforwhat]

Thanks again, dude. [ she said to the driver after getting Satsuki out and before she bumped the door shut with her hips. they've got a bit of distance to walk yet but Jen hardly seems winded. ]

You know, it's nice out here. Even the view from my place's got nothing on this...

[me_matey]

It is gorgeous... but a little lonely... -Satsuki sighed, resting her head against Jen's shoulder.-

It's a big ship for it being just me, Sakura, and a pair of cats.

[burndownforwhat]

Mm. [ Jen couldn't really argue that. then again, she was also more used to living in large spaces with very little in the way of stable company. except her mother, of course. ]

If they ever let you get this thing off the ground, that'll definitely attract people. They'll climb over themselves to hitch a ride. [ now it's time to clamber on up. best to focus on that more than the way Satsuki is getting cozy... ]

[me_matey]

I could have the first mid-air wrestling match. The hold is big enough for a ring and some seats. -She giggled, nuzzling slightly.-

I'm sleepy...

[burndownforwhat]

See? It'd be a blast.

[ once on deck, she looked around to see if anyone else was awake and about. ] I know. Just a bit further.

[me_matey]

-Seemed like it was lights out all around. Satsuki weakly reached for the security pad near the door leading to the habitation deck, taking her a few tries to get her palm onto it for it to scan.-

"Welcome Back, Captain May"

I need to get this thing to call me Satsuki...

[burndownforwhat]

Yeah, that's... a pretty weird hitch. [ she meant "glitch", yes. though Jen was staring at it even as they passed through the door, her brow furrowed. ] Meh. Technology. What can you do?

[me_matey]

I mean I get why it is the way it is. This was her ship, after all. Got her name on it and everything...

... Remember where my room is?
