A sly grin crept onto his face as Ansa spoke. Her French wasn't the best but she was getting better at it, perhaps he'd teach her whenever they both had the time to do so. Perhaps they could drink some more, though the thought of alcohol made Emile's stomach turn. He shook his head to dispel the thought and easily slunk his way into the kitchen, heading directly to where Ansa had said the sugar would be. Opening the cupboard his heart sunk, there really wasn't a lot of sugar left, definitely not enough to last them the remainder of the year. Zut! He whispered before angrily closing the cupboard and storming off back to his table. "I guess I'm stuck with this slop for a little longer, at least until we can grow some more sugarcane." But there was no telling how long that would be, after all this wasn't exactly the best climate for the crop, especially this time of year when it is so cold all the time. He eagerly awaited Ansa's return, scarfing down the oatmeal so fast he couldn't taste it. Whether or not that was by design he didn't really know but either way the meal is done.
She arrived shortly after he finished eating and he greedily sucked down the painkillers she provided. "Oh Ansa, I would be lost without you." He said mocking despair. "Thank you for telling me about the sugar, it made this meal much easier to scarf down." A little lie just to make sure Ansa didn't feel like she stuck out her neck for nothing. How could he tell her he was too much of a coward to take the delicacy in spite of its low stock. "Tell me Ansa are you going to be out there with me tending to the crops or are you doing ship maintenance with Captain CrΓ©tin today?" Emile questioned, his slender fingers tracing circles on the table between the two.
Vocabulary:
Zut! - Can be heck, damn, gee willikers whatever really
crΓ©tin - Basically calling someone stupid

Oooh, this looks interesting! Iβd love to join, let me get together a character!
Question about that, by the way? Are any of you guyβs characeters meant to be the original leader, the one Allen leads a rebellion against? Iβm getting a bunch of ideas for her and Iβd love to play her, but I thought I should make definitely sure that role isnβt taken first!

( πππππππ - Hey! Well mine arenβt meant to be the original leader by Tenny may have one of their characters as the leader Iβm not 100% certain. Iβm sure theyβll explain things and say whether you can have the leader character Tenny - I will get something up today life has been crazy haha. Everythingβs fine, just busy. I wanted to make sure I have the time to do a decent reply so Iβm not rushing anything)

(Okay finally, FINALLY, Iβm going to start work on a reply
I love how Finnish people are generally quite shy and reserved (apparently, according to my research anyway) but Ansa is just completely not. At least not with Emile anyway. I might come out more with others)

Ansa chuckled, the blonde woman rolling her eyes a little and chuckling slightly at the Frenchmanβs dramatic imitation of dispair. The painkillers sheβd brough disappeared rather quickly, with Emile clearly eager to ease his hangover.
βOle hyvΓ€, friend, as always,β the Finn smiled βanything to add some flavour to life here.β
Life on the ship was sometimes pretty cool, admittedly, but the novelty had worn off and now it was plain monotonous. The food wasnβt so great most of the time, and being stuck with the same group of people in a relatively confined space had its inevitable issues. This life wasnβt for everyone, but it had been forced upon them so the group just kind of tried to deal with it. Ansa has dealt with it by stealing a little sugar to at least make her breakfast bearable.
Ansa tried to live by the Finnish concept of sisu, roughly translating to something like strength of will or perseverance, and keeping a level head in the face of adversity. Sheβd abided by that for her whole life, and now more than ever she did her best to live by it. So she did whatever she had to do to keep herself sane around here. Getting too much in oneβs own head never ended well. Distractions like work helped a lot.
And in fact, that was what Emile was asking her about now. Was Ansa going to be spending the day with him or with Roan de Loughrey?
βIβll be with you,β Ansa responded βitβll be a nice change for a little, it gets boring around here. I think the little japanilainen girl is with de Loughrey though. I donβt know about any of the others.β
Plus, she knew Emile better than she did anyone else on the ship, and she trusted him the most because of it. She was much more reserved (if not actually shy, per se) with everyone else and so she was a little relieved to be with him rather than with anybody else.
Vocab
Ole hyvΓ€: Youβre welcome (Finnish)
japanilainen: Japanese (Finnish)

I think she looks great but itβs obviously up to tenny. I may get a starter up for my other girl Natsumi though and then you have the option of having her interact with her once Roan is accepted)

And thatβs alright Tenny! Whateverβs going on, just take care of yourself, okay?

(Ugh this is short. I hope itβs okay to assume Roan and Ellie have different accents? Accents vary widely across the UK and actually Roan sounds Irish judging by her name but I donβt know if that was what Chi was going for)
It was early morning, and a 19-year-old Japanese girl awoke to the blaring of her alarm, rolling over in bed with a sigh.
βurusai,β Natsumi Ishikawa groaned, putting an arm over her eyes
Still, she shut off her alarm and dragged herself out of bed, getting ready. When she left her room a little later she was dressed, and her straight inky-black hair was in its usual sleek ponytail. She felt pretty much ready to face the day.
She went to get herself some breakfast, some water and that flavourless porridge. It was sorely in need of some sugar, but there was none to be found, unfortunately. Still, she dealt with it.
She looked around at some of the other people who were awake and also having their breakfast. Emile and Ansa were chattering a little distance away, far enough away that she couldnβt hear their conversation. Natsumi felt that she got along fairly well with the other residents of the ship. She wasnβt extremely close with any of them, but she was on friendly terms with most of them. It made life here easier, for certain.
Natsumi couldnβt communicate too well with the other people on the ship anyway. Ellie has been teaching her English and she was getting better, but she still didnβt feel totally comfortable with the language or confident speaking it. She could do it, it just made her a little bit nervous to do so. She often still dropped in the odd Japanese word and her English translation wasnβt always great, being as her English was influenced by Ellie and Roan, who were British but whose accents were slightly different.
As she ate her food, she went over her plans for the day in her head. She knew she would be with Roan that day doing maintenance. She didnβt mind that, she got on decently well with the woman and maintenance wasnβt a bad job.
Today was probably going to be a pretty good day.
Translation:
urusai/γγγγ - kind of has the sense of noisy or annoying, but as an exclamation roughly translates to βshut upβ
Iβm trying XD I donβt know Japanese

Hi. Hello. So I noticed this roleplay a long while ago and then I noticed it was just popping up sporadically but active. And honestly with my crazy schedule I haven't had time to build a roleplay, and this looks super interesting; would applicants still be able to join? --))

Ok! I'm making my characters here for when they are ready. I do have a question for Tenny about one character in particular to make that I think would be interesting to the plot; it would be a youth somewhere near 11-13 years (an age they can mostly live on their own but mostly stick near the base)? Since survival and reproduction is the ultimate aim, a kid would be interesting for the maternal females and group (baby fever?), also youth are influenced easily so their choice would be an interesting aspect between Allen and the other group. If not ideal in the overall plan, then it's cool. --))

(Donβt worry about it, itβs not like we have much to go off yet after all! And yeah, I was thinking Roan was at least part Irish, so I pictured her having that sort of accent. And hey Shades, welcome aboard!) Roan de Loughrey - The mess hallThe silence was driving Roan de Loughrey insane.
The metal of the ship was gleaming in the early morning light - the golden hour, that was the term for it, right? She could see why - everything was lit up in shades of yellow and prange, the walls, the tables and crates and metals that were used as chairs, the ivy slowly creeping in the doorway. She was glad they had chosen this room to be the mess hall - it was a little smaller than the other option they had been considering, but it had windows of cracked, spiderwebbed glass that gave them all a view of the pine tree forest around them and, above that, the sky.
(Were they pine trees? Something similar?)
It was all very serene and beautiful and she could probably spend hours here, in this room and in this light, if only she had someone by her side. But, alas, she was the only one insane enough to be up this early - although she wasnβt sure why, she knew she couldnβt be the only one with nightmares. She had woken up before dawn - not an unusual occurance - but this morning she hadnβt been able to get back to sleep, so sheβd gotten herself dressed and to the hall almost an hour ago now, with breakfast done not soon after. She knew someone had to come down here eventaully, and probably sooner rather than later, so sheβd stayed, even though she was tempted to go from dorm to dorm and shake people awake until the room was as close to full as it ever got.
She shook her her wryly at the thought. That was certainly not the move of a calm, collected leader.
She tried to distract herself from the silence with plans and forward thinking and trying to figure out how they were going to handle their first winter, and the people she was going to talk to when they finally arrived. It worked, for the most part, but she was still so, so glad when people finally started pouring into the room for breakfast and she could head the sound of voices.
She spotted Natsumi, her partner for work today, sitting on one of the tables with her breakfast and headed towards her, giving her a warm smile. She was looking forward to spending the day with her - she was a hard worker and a good partner to have, and Roan always got the sense that there was much more to her than the fussy perfectionist she projected. Talking to her was always interesting somehow.
βHey! Would you mind if I sit?β She tipped her head to one side, thinking. βDid you see the sunrise a little earlier? It was gorgeous, it makes you wonder what they must have been like on Earth.β
