Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens"

(Dormii)
That a yes?

=Over the course of the passing days he had basically done nothing=
=Not really caring much to do anything=
=Occaisonally having that moment of silence for everyone he loved=
=He had headed down to the planet a few times. Tell of how it had gotten. Praying=
=Contemplated just leaving entirely=
=He is currently at the gravesite, many roses lie atop the grave=

(Lynn and Grace)

=The two had been surviving=
=Sending out repeated distress calls=
=They are about to start the next cycle of distress signals=

"If there is anyone out there that can pick this signal up. Please respond, We are currently in unknown territory. Our fuel is empty. Respond. Please"

of coarse! let's go!

=i stand up=

(Dormii)
=i nod and follow, leaving half of my food behind=

=i skip down the halls, looking back to see if dormii is following=

c'mon slowpoke!

(Dormii)
=i chuckle and jog to keep up=
Speedy little thing, aren't ya?

it depends what i'm doing... *giggle*

(Dormii)
=i raise an eyebrow=
Oh really? Like what?

eating, uhh...

(Dormii)
Swimming?

(Lynn and Grace)

=They see that they have a bit of fuel left=

Lynn-Random Jump.

Grace-Does this thing even have a drive?

Lynn-Well. It is a UNSC ship. I would think so.

=She goes over to the control panel=

Lynn-Never...done this before..

=She sighs and hits the slipspace module=
=They go into a random jump=

(Draco)

=He stands and heads off to the town=
=It had been getting bigger=
=Adding a theatre, a music hall, everything that would lead to entertainment=
=He takes Andrea's chip out and places it into his armlet=

*I wonder what they might be playing in the music hall*

=He shrugs=

Something good, hopefully.

i guess so, but i prefer relaxing in water...

=i slow my walking=

how are you?

(Dormii)
=i walk beside her=
I am good. A bit bored, but good. How about you?

really bored.... but its nice hanging out with someone....

(Dormii)
Same here. Even if it is a bit...odd.

what's odd? me?

(Dormii)
No, no, no. Us. We were together, once, for a bit, then we broke up. Everything that I've read and heard about couples who break up, they generally don't want to see each other again.

=i look at her=
That's why I say it is odd. We are kinda breaking that mindset.

not wanting to see each other isn't what seperated us... so i guess we still enjoy each other's company

(Dormii)
I guess so. How go things with you and Rain, if I may ask.

we havn't really done anything except that massage by the pool...

(Dormii)
Why not, do you know?

i don't know...

=we enter the rec room=

(Dormii)
Well, at least now you can do something, right?

=we walk into the pool room=

do what?

(Dormii)
=i pause=
I honestly don't know. I have no idea why I said that.

=i give a sheepish grin and start taking my shirt off=

=starts working at the console=

=i walk into the changing room and switch into my swim suit bottom than step back out into the pool room=

just a slip of the tongue i guess...

(Dormii)
Probably.

=i hand her my shirt and jump into the pool, after taking the rest of my gear off=
Ah...water...

=While Jason was gone, life on Haven went on=

(David)
=today was another council meeting, so I made my way to the teleporter pad. I had received a memo earlier, saying that Jason was off planet, taking care of some errands. However, we were asked to continue with our usual business, and that until he returned, Silver Light would serve as his proxy. I got to the terminal, and was sent to the Council building (which had finally been finished) It was actually an impressive sight: before it was done, the building had been on the ground, and looked like a standard tower. Now, it hovered, about 15 stories above the ground, and was constantly on the move, though at a rather slow pace. Apparently, Silver felt that a mobile council building was safer than a stationary one. At the same time, the tower had groups of sentinels playing watch-guards. Anyway, I entered the council chambers; everyone was already there=

Morning everyone. Shall we get to business?

=i put his shirt over my own and slip into the water=

=i heat the water with my umbrella=

so...

(Dormii)
So, you heard about Kota?

=i look down=

yeah...

(Dormii)
You okay?

i'm trying to forget about it...

(Dormii)
Then I shall not mention it again.

it's okay... thanks for thinking of it though...

(Dormii)
You're welcome.

=i start swimming, and I have the plates lock flat against my arm, for less drag=

=They all said yes. Silver Light floated into the chamber, and came to stop at the end of the meeting table=

(Silver Light)
Hello. What are the list of things for today?

(Carolyn)
Well, there hasn't been much, other than people still complaining over a lack of meat. Thanks to our access to the city schematics, we finally managed to find the medical centers, so we can move out of the buildings we were using before. By the way, I think I speak for the council when I say, thank you for having the courtesy to translate all the text into English, Silver.

(Silver Light)
It was my pleasure.

is it hard to swim with that?

(Dormii)
What, my arm? Kinda. It's mostly just weight I need to adjust for, but it still works the same. Helps me when I need to relax.

that's good...

(Dormii)
What do you do, to relax?

sleep or find someone to cuddle up to...

but, you know that.

(Dormii)
=i smile=
That I do. But, just for argument's sake, you couldn't sleep, and you couldn't find someone to cuddle with. What would you do?

just sit around i guess...

(Dormii)
Well, that wouldn't be relaxing, I don't think.

your right...

(Dormii)
Hmm...

=i keep swimming around=

so...

(Dormii)
=i splash a little bit at her=
Tag, you're it!

=i swim away=
