So Wu Xin knows nothing it Greek mythology.

I do know that he's absolutely willing to help go out there to get water to heal the ship.

I have no idea on the who or how yet since going out there with people means there will be truths.

And definitely going to try to give Wu Xin a pet from this port.

Maybe an egg that he saves, little egghead that he is. Gotta save his own kind! /shot

Not sure who would go out with the monk though.

Okay, unlikely to find a pet griffin after all.

I think Wu Xin might focus on healing the Enclosure if they only need to heal the door and speaker.

Edited with link

And Wu Xin is making the most fun comments on the ic meme

Will will go out with Wu Xin! He's likely to be heading out to get water quite a bit. (he has had to confront his Truths frequently and head-on, he's not concerned about it)

sad about the griffins... ;_; We'll get you a pet yet, Wu Xin.

siderealtime: for now, he's going to be messing with all the animals on the ship as support animals.

Yes, I imagine he'll head off the ship with him and Wu Xin will probably run off for a bit. He's heading out the water without a boat (rowing is too tiring).

Will's doggies will be always available for support! Winston is basically a perfect emotional support animal <3 (Will would be far worse off without him)

I'd like some Wu Xin in my inbox!

omnomivore: all options of monk! For cat or green lady, on land or at sea!

siderealtime: but they're Will's. What if they spill his secrets to their owner?

... Not that he's not spilling them himself to Will.

Tendi probably wouldn't go out with Wu Xin after figuring out how dark the secrets can get, but they could go early on! Or they could just do some food gathering together.

heee :3

Will's going to check with B, probably, about any shelter animals that could use homes. because Wu Xin could use a pet!

(also, I bet a cat would enjoy a warm pavilion....)

omnomivore: does Tendi know about olives? Teach him about olives. And early on, yes! Not the first one, first one he's bothering poor Cloud.

siderealtime: cats are probably the better choice. I don't think he's the type to take dogs out for walks.

lol I saw that. Poor Cloud.

I'm not sure she knows about olives, though. She has never prepared so much as pasta on her own before.

And didn't exactly grow up with Earth food. Pesto blew her mind.

So it's much more likely to be like "These taste awful!" "Really? Let me try! They ARE awful! Maybe they're not ripe? ?????"

omnomivore: to be fair, I think it'll blow Wu Xin's mind too. Born and raised Earthian yet she might have more earth experiences than him.

Lol, two people going. "why are there olive trees everywhere?! They're not edible! Maybe they're medicinal?"

Well she might recognize olives, given there's one on the bar logo in her cabin lol

But she has no idea why they don't taste right

just confused noises in foreigner

omnomivore: Wu Xin very hesitant to try them again after. But also yes to early truths! Wu Xin is out there for water and would get on any boat as long as he's not rowing. XD

Any thoughts on interesting secrets?

omnomivore: are we talking about innocents ones or dark ones?

I could go either way, or a mismash. I have a bunch of ideas here but could think up more if nothing fits Captcha Check

omnomivore: Oh man, you've got a whole list made. I haven't even started because I wasn't sure what were options. But I should really start. Lol

Tendi's early life is full of gnarly secrets and she's so open about her Starfleet life that it was hard to come up with silly or light things she wouldn't bring up on her own, lol

omnomivore: Wu Xin's is so simple. He has one big secret and it all surrounds that

Yeah, the pirate thing sort of summarizes Tendi's stuff, but doesn't really get the extent of the way she was raised or Orion culture across

omnomivore: I think it would be neat if they both get a 'I am the leader of a group I'm running from'

That could work! She was never technically leader of her house, because she left before she took over the Crime Throne, but she was in line to be.

(And her House isn't what leads the Syndicate, but close enough)

omnomivore: Wu Xin isn't officially a leader yet either, but you can say he's running from the coronation of it.

Just phantom crowns on each other's heads with the knowledge that they're both escaping a title they don't want.

omnomivore: well, he's eventually going to need to. I'm making that his graduation requirement, learning responsibility and guiding his people.

Meanwhile, Tendi needs to not cave to doing the thing that will make her (and probably everyone around her lbr) miserable just out of a sense of duty to a culture and society that refuses to change their ways.

...but also her sister is a totally suitable heir, too so she has an out

omnomivore: yeah, Wu Xin is the only one. It's a messy thing.

Okay, added a list of truths about the kid that people could learn.

Also random thought... Would togas make good robe replacements?
