{say live and let die}

[goldenpine]

I figured I should send a shout-out of thanks to everyone who showed up to Oliver's little celebration. It was nice meeting you all in person! I hope no one was too hung-over the next morning.

As for why it took me so long to say this... Eh.

So! Anyone up for a round of, "Claim a Star?" I'm calling the big white one over there Hitsugaya. [

My great-grandfather had a comet named after him, so if one should pass our way, I'm calling it Azula's Comet. It could be the start of a family tradition.

[a thought crosses her mind, making her 'hm' in contemplation]

I rather hope one does, actually.

[goldenpine]

Oh? Any particular reason? I'm sure if you look long enough, you'll see your fair share of comets. Maybe not terribly close to the ship, but still~

[firelady_azula]

Comets make Firebenders strong. So does daylight, but it's eternal night up here. If I could get my full power back... that would open up a lot of options for me.

[goldenpine]

I can see how that would be useful. If you don't mind me asking, Azula, what kind of power are you hoping to get back?

[shibuyagirly]

"Claim a Star"? So we name stars or something?

[goldenpine]

Yep!

[shibuyagirly]

That's a really neat idea!

[goldenpine]

That's what I thought! Gonna name one? I think that particularly dim one over there, hiding behind that colorful one, should be named Gin.

[redpaperfan]

You're naming stars?

[goldenpine]

Yes. Wanna join?

[oliverplus]

That sounds like fun! Okay, that bright one, right there? [points out the window, directly in front of him] That one is Chloe.

[goldenpine]

Chloe! I like that one. [ she hmms, then points to another star ] I think that one will be Aizen. It looks like it's about to die, doesn't it?

[oliverplus]

[raises an eyebrow] I guess so, sure. Not a nice guy, I take it?

I hope Chloe will agree! Someday I'll show it to her.

[goldenpine]

You would have thought he was, once.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it, whenever that is.

[numberonebaby]

I CLAIM THEM ALL AND CALL THEM ME!

[goldenpine]

[ raises an eyebrow ]

How about we make a compromise: you can claim one and name all the space between the stars after you. There's lots and lots of that - more than stars, anyway~

[numberonebaby]

[debates this]

If that's the case, I'll take one hundred stars named after me, and the space between them can be Tsubaki.

[goldenpine]

[ quirks up an eyebrow and shrugs ]

Sure, why not? Those hundred over there [ gestures someplace out toward the rear of the deck ] can be the Black*Star Contingent, surrounded by Tsubaki Space.
