Do you keep your gods here? I've wandered the ship.
There's not a temple or sept or statue.
Who knows to work the vehicles in the hangar?
Also what is an augment?

Work them?
Or hotwire them?

[ obviously telling Arya how to hotwire anything is a good idea??? ]

[wolfchild]

What's hotwire?

[selfimage]

Usually large mortal vehicles of any kind have safeguards to prevent them from being taken by anyone other than those that own it.
Hotwiring comes from the phrase that derives from bypassing wires to start those vehicles
Usually with the intention to take them
-- You know, without asking -- [ steal, Loki. ]

But it's multifunctional in that regard. :)
If you get what I mean. :) :) :)

[wolfchild]

[ she's eleven, a thief, and not stupid B| ]

Can you show me how it's done?

[selfimage]

I could.
And you are a fast learner.

[wolfchild]

[ kicking her feet! ]

Will you? I'll offer payment.

[ and you know she's good for it. tell her what to cook and she'll cook. ]

[selfimage]

I'll settle for a favor.

[ dangerous, but appropriate. ]

You really do want to know all the tricks of the slippery trade, don't you?

[wolfchild]

[ her thoughts pause only a moment. there is no hesitation in her answer, however. no one has nothing to lose. ]

I told you before. I look after myself.

[ she will always be smaller, weaker, frailer. especially in comparison to so many of her guildmates. but she sees. and she learns. and she, alone, survives. ]

[selfimage]

[ Loki's requests tend to occupy the space between ridiculous and dangerous; it's always as a toss-up as to which. ]

Alright then.
Let's hotwire the spaceships.

[wolfchild]

When do we start?

[selfimage]

How quickly can you bring a coffee?

[wolfchild]

[ she recalls seeing signs for it in the shops. ]

Tell me where to take it.

[selfimage]

I'll meet you outside the bunker. :)

[ after too long staring in dismay at a menu full of different coffees, loki receives a 100% arabica black coffee, pile of sugar on the side — with the name on the cup spelled “corky.” ]

[selfimage]

[ he comes as he always does, with a swagger of his hips and a smug half smile. with the green hoodie and jeans, he'd almost blend in if someone didn't look that closely. there's always something a little off about Loki.

he perks up and extends his hand like he's accepting an offering (because he is). ]

I guess we'd better get to work.

[wolfchild]

[ nymeria strides past them both into the hangar to investigate with barely a curious glance anymore at loki. zokla is more attentive. ]

What's a makato?

[ macchiato. she means a macchiato. ]

[selfimage]

[ there's the barest of moments where he finds the inscription with his name on it and frowns in thought, but his eyes go back to her after she asks her question. ]

Coffee. [ he says it without correcting her pronunciation, like everything is somehow coffee. ] With foam. [ he adds. ]

It's popular in the middle realms in the place mortals call Italy.
