[tlv] pairings!!!
i'm throwing this up on the way out the door and am not going to double-check myself with pings, so apologies if i fuck any up
PHEW, i think i actually got nearly everybody from memory
Ulla 
i have to run to dinner but truly love these hilarious
Omg. First pairing is with Ye Zun?! Is this really rng?
ah yess, the man who just informed everyone on the network how to arm themselves. not that it isn't important, just so much anxiety.
It's needed info clearly
sigh poor monk
OH MY GOD
Ulla and Eric is hilarious
he just murdered her
this is going to be so good
ahahaa
The monk is free of worldly things
the monk is a little shit facing the retire evil overlord
Hanna may also object to being wardened by a child. What the fuck kind of weird space prison yall running here? Why isn't this child at home.
Ulla would vouch for Hunter, she adores him.
He's not going to be a dick but it definitely isn't what he was expecting.
as would Shen Wei
(also, Ulla's girlfriend was one of Hunter's inmates and she knows how much Taylor adores him.)
but then, Shen Wei has spent most of his life in times and places where 12 and 13yos were saddled with all the burdens of adulthood, including dying in war and famine and purges
Oh, Hanna gets it, he just think kids should have a childhood. His life got flip turned upside down at that age and it majorly sucked.
yeeeeep
I think Hunter's 19 or 20 now after all his time on board, but since no one physically ages here, RIP everyone who came on board young
you're gonna look like a kid indefinitely
(Hunter was an inmate and has 2 graduated inmates of his own as a warden)
I had an 18 year old character spend 5 years on board, she was always grateful she didn't arrive a few years younger.
Shen Wei and Shen Jiye's world hit plunged into chaos by a meteor strike when they were 6-8ish, he's only just come to recognize that childhood should really be A Thing in the last few decades
yeeeah, being stalled not just looking like a young teen, but with all the hormones, could really suck
of all his problems, Nathaniel was truly so mad at being stuck at 'just turned fifteen'
extremely valid
yeah, fair
Hanna's forever kind of 16 body totally understands that bullshit
See, at least his first question will probably be "How old are you" Because the polite thing to do is ask, JUST SO EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS
yeah, Shen Wei's been stalled at around 17-20ish for 10k years, but when he has options he's learned to dress to age himself
lol
Hanna has no such skill and is tiny so he can totally get away with wearing shit from the little boy's section.
Teach him this thing, please. Or else he'll be raiding the community closet for the worst and most loud shirts he can find that probably don't fit him.
BBitsaboi: oh my god hunter is so much taller than Hanna
How many people on this vessel had a real childhood?
....How tall is he?
/goes to check
Walter is just lucky he's personally the "ehhhh until they're 21 should I be drinking with them YKWIM" type so he doesn't actually have to bust his ass on mental math for Hunter, Taylor etc
7 inches isn't THAT bad
it just stings a little cause he's 24
(Hunter has in fact drunk before bc he's basically brothers with Trevor)
Moira would claim she had a real childhood. She had a great childhood. I mean, she grew up as a literal wild animal but she thought that was pretty great.
meanwhile waningsunflower I went to add you and it asked if I wanted to accept the request you'd already sent, so - hi!!
bearded pirate about to become a problem for him in a completely different way
He's terrified and just wants to hide his face in a pillow after Cain's network post. ALSO WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE?
All credibility just flying right out the window before he even gets started. JOY
poor man. on the plus side silver is not unpredictably violent! he plans his murders
/gently gestures to his fancy drafting table, "You want to learn how to design a ship? We can bond maybe over the beauty of a perfectly drawn line"
NOT THE HOTNESS OF THE PIRATE HELP
pyotr is rolling his eyes so hard at being paired with allen, lol (major mood hanna, getting assigned a kid)
Or they could talk about how he's going to help his crew mutiny against corruption. That might be better. Pirates like mutiny right? Unless your the captain
Annie had an excellent childhood, and if you freaks would let her go back to her cool monster island she could continue to have it right now
allen under technically somewhere in his fifties literally probably sixteen tho
Pfft Feral child pines for the fields
damn, I missed so many cool characters coming in during my fuck knows how long of being useless and mia
"how many people had a real childhood" hilariously Shaw had SUCH a well-adjusted childhood, which is hilarious because she's so...... that
Misty's was also relatively normal
xie lian had a great childhood (if not exactly normal)
Pyotr had a normal childhood, at least relative to the Barge
Abel had a normal enough childhood despite being incredibly repressed by his shitty dad.
Despite coming from a zombie world, Maggie has the most doting parents, who alternated spoiling her rotten with making sure she grew up a responsible and relatively well adjusted person.\
as good a childhood as it's humanly possible to have in her world
Norton had a great childhood up until boarding school. Early 20th century British boarding schools were not great.
Hakkai is convinced he had a perfectly fine childhood but this is an artifact of the bar being so low in his friends group
(That said, his experience there was normal for the time.)
also BBitsaboi Silver has personally helped quell multiple mutinies, he's a close ally of his captain! Though, you know, you do you, Abel
Norton will vouch for Silver. Mostly.
He won't go straight to it thankfully but maybe. If it gets brought up.
for some reason plurk didn't tell me about this ping? (not that it matters, since I saw it when it went up)
but also plurk wtf are you doing
Jedao re: Hakkai's Fine Childhood is "that doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about childhood to dispute it."
Xie Lian tried many times to gently explain that he was probably a little scarred by his childhood and he never did actually face that issue 
Xie Lian starring in trying to subtly be like, 'so do you think there might have been a reason you were sure that your only hope of love was your twin?'
All the Saiyuki guys looking at Hakkai's chilhood like Guy Gesturing To Butterfly Meme "is this a completely fine chilhood?".
Walter was genuinely just chilling in the New York suburbs other than when his grandmother committed almost exactly zero murders
Iris ran away from home at eight and she's been feral ever since
lookashiny HI, your guy is my guy's first Warden, let's rock!
Hi! Do you have a post I can respond to or should I use his inbox?
You can use his inbox! I'm still traveling today so I'll be slow but starting tomorrow I'm properly around!
ok, I'll drop a comment in!
