hi guys guess who is absolutely alive but very busy !

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“Probably a storm of some kind, based on how you’re describing it.”

Constantly worried about how he was coping.
Worried about what every wormhole he was dragged into was showing him.

A hand resting on his shoulder.
“And just think. You’re back now, nothing to worry about.”

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

“Yeah, it ... I could barely see more than a few feet in front of me. It ..”

Don't try too hard to remember.
right ..

𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 .
Not when he probably died again, anyway.

Shuddering - rubbing his forehead.
“Yeah. Yeah ... true, that.”

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“If it's too hard to think about, don't try too hard to remember. You'll stress yourself out, and we can't have that now, can we .ᐣ”

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

An eyebrow raises as he unfocuses, giving him the space to think before she attempts to bring him back.

He was getting harder to gauge recently, unpredictable in temperament.
Worryingly so.

“Dark and cold... too dark to make anything else out .ᐣ”

A pause, reevaluating.

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

Shaking his head, managing a faint smile.

“Eh, just another creepy place, I guess.”

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“Company… I think I can do that.”

she shifts her weight as he recalls things, a mental checklist forming in her head. Notes she may need for later.

“Another wormhole .ᐣ Do you remember what you saw there .ᐣ”

fumbling through her pockets at the mention of a headache.

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

Another shrug. He doesn't really know, things just feel ...

Different.

“I dunno, I guess... Maybe just company.ᐣ”

Scratching the back of his neck, the engineer recalls the events of today. What he could remember of it, at least.

“I was with the Warp Core... then I think --

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“It does make me feel better. Means it might be a ship wide bad day and not just a me thing.”

She adjusts the gloves on her hands, gaze lingering on him from the corner.

“Do you need help with anything .ᐣ Would it make it less rocky .ᐣ”

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

A small huff.

“Well- If it makes you feel better... My day has been kinda

too.”

Shrug.

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

Another yawn cut her off before she could speak, a hint of a laugh following.

“Last time we had problems with it, it made me sleep in.”

A playful nudge on the arm.

“I think I’d prefer that to whatever it’s pulling now. At least I knew I was well rested.”

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

A 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤

Not that kind of break, sill

The engineer hummed, thinking over what she said.

“If you think it has something to do with the pods or the wakey-wakey protocol, I could take a look.ᐣ”

”””””””””

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“Sometimes I do wonder if you ever take a break…”

She mirrored the smile given to her, another reflection between them.

Two sides of the same coin.

“In all my time sleeping on the ship… that might have been the worst.” She joked softly, head propped up by her hand.

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

Jumping - whoops. He hadn't heard her come in. Noticing how

𝑻𝒊𝒓 𝒆𝒅 𝒅

she was, giving a faint little smile. He looks ti r ed too.

“As always,” A mused response. A head tilt,

“I'm... guessing sleeping was rough this time around.ᐣ”

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“Sometimes he does that.”

She gives a slight shrug, an attempt to rationalise for herself.

“Probably fried his brain trying to think of ways to fix the warp core.”

[𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌.𝐋. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞  @ThePinkMenace_]

"Honestly I have ZERO idea! I tried saying hi to engie and he was just... staring..." he shudders "giving me the hee-bee jee-bees if you ask me"

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“Hi, Wil…”

she’s absolutely confused, first the ship feels wrong when she awakes… now he isn’t acting how he normally does .ᐣ

“Have I missed something .ᐣ”

[𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌.𝐋. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞  @ThePinkMenace_]

He look up, lowering his shoulders

"Oh.. Hi Celci.." he waves with a faint smile

Okay what the hell just happened because Wilford isn't being Wilford

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

rubbing her eyes before spotting him. tilting her head… what the hell is going on .ᐣ

[𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌.𝐋. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞  @ThePinkMenace_]

<—— is rocking over by the corner mumbling to himself

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

it takes her a bit to get there, regardless of how well she thinks she knows the ship when half asleep.

stumbling her way onto the bridge, rubbing her eyes as she squints to be sure she's got the right person...

all before settling next to him.

“ Been busy, Mark .ᐣ ”

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

No, it never has, huh .ᐣ She's always there

He's on the bridge, humming quietly.
Don't ask him for the

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

yawning loudly.

she might as well check up on one of the only people she can tolerate when this tired.

even if he's busy working, that's never stopped her any other time.

[𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓.ᐟ @T1MEWARV1CTOR]

Probably .ᐟ.

He's busy.

working.

trailing her way out of her cryopod. . .

something in the air feels off. maybe she just slept too long .ᐣ

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

@lNTHEMIRR0R https://t.co/rLrEgixk7v
We all miss her </3

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

https://t.co/rLrEgixk7v

I promise I didn’t fall off the earth guys I had a con to prep for that happened over the weekend…

Also Sam is being evil to me rn this is so evil.

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

“ wasn’t planning on suddenly changing .ᐟ now that you’ve offered… I might need to take you up on that offer. ”

she pushes herself out of her chair, hands resting behind her back.

“ you still won’t wear a coat in here .ᐣ ”

[𝒪𝒯𝐻𝐸𝑅 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑 ✶ @ALWAYSTHESEC0ND]

he lets out a faint chuckle , smiling .

‚ still the same celci . you can come annoy me if you want to . i know you probably miss that . „

he puts his hands in his pockets , still not bothering to grab a coat for cryo . he still hates those .

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

she leaned back in her chair, hands folded and resting on her lap.

“ still find it… eerie . ”

a mumble, the she smiled to herself. it was half intentional when she thought about it for a moment.

“ need to get in your way to stop you speeding out of here, don’t I .ᐣ ”

[𝒪𝒯𝐻𝐸𝑅 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑 ✶ @ALWAYSTHESEC0ND]

the engineer sighed . looking at the other but this time he sounds more exhausted than how he was back then .

‚ yeah ? i mean , reactor 's nice . „

he snickered a bit

‚ you 're doing that thing again . y 'know „

he gestures how she rolled off her chair in front of him .

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

this time, however, she decided she couldn’t beat around the bush. pushing her chair in his way like she had that other time before, concern tugging at every feature.

“ you’ve been going in there a lot, mack. ”

[𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑪𝑰 . . . @OFCELCIUS]

celci found the quiet disconcerting, of course it was better than constant bickering amongst them in the long run… but she missed it.

each time he came by to go to the reactor, she did her best to strike up conversation. even if it was a simple greeting and letting him go.

[+]

[𝒪𝒯𝐻𝐸𝑅 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑 ✶ @ALWAYSTHESEC0ND]

mack 's been ... awfully quiet . not like the usual . he doesnt really bicker and yell a lot at this point and now he hangs out in the reactor room more often , which makes him go to cryo more frequently .
