📔- A memory from a journal/diary entry

She remembered how much her hands had hurt that entire timeshe gripped the control yoke, white knuckled to hide how she shook. This wasn'tjust flying anymore. This was different from any practice, any walkthrough, oreasy landing into a spaceport. They didn't prepare a pilot for outmaneuveringother ships. They didn't prepare for trying to work a miracle on a rickety cargoship against armed ships flying behind you, guns ready to blow a hole into thehull.

 Minseo can't forget the rising panic that she was trying tohide under cheerfully calling over the intercom, "Hold on to your pants,loves! We're going to do some fancy footwork here!" She remembers leaninginto the yoke, shifting them sharply portside into a spiraling dance out of theway of a cracking shot of a ship cannon. They broke atmosphere with an altitudeshift when she could breathe again, fired off into the sky. The Captain grabbedher by the shoulders and kissed the top of her head, crowing about his pilots.His pilots that were too fast, too good for the rest of the 'Verse.

 She unwound finally, breathing out with her hand over olddog tags – thanking him for his help.

‘princess’

[syminseo]

@syjaewon

Since Jaewon announced the plan, this had been her number one concern. Of course, she had to pilot Serenity in close, but that was a cakewalk. This was the real important part – getting her a fancy dress for the fancy boat party. Everything else could be planned later.

 Jaewon may have grumped and grumbled the entire way through the marketplace, but Minseo knew he was actually glad to join her. He'd never admit it, but Minseo knew all she needed was to ask and he'd help her out. She thought of asking Kamora, but if they docked Kamora usually was busy with somebody and she wasn't going to wait on anybody. The shop was filled with artificial bright lights that glinted off beaded bodices and glittery fabrics. She didn't suppress the coo as she had taken in all the sights of marshmallow pastels, even as the owner was trying to subtly follow them through the shop. One caught her eye immediately – layers upon layers of lilac colored fabrics that puffed out in a way that Minseo clasped her hands in front of herself with reverence after she touched it.

 Getting into it was an adventure of trying to not get lost in a mound of fabric and keep everything in place. It was like a layered, marshmallow cupcake dream dress that Minseo hopped up and down in the mirror looking at herself. She pushed open the dressing room door and posed, slowly spinning herself around in a circle. "Captain," Minseo told him plainly, "I could pilot my baby in my sleep, but that's not even important! Look how pretty this dress is! I feel like a princess in it. Do you like it?”

💭💭💭

Sully looks angry again. If I had to guess, it’s probably Cap’s fault. I should go cheer him up with a ~~~HUG.

I wish he didn’t try to be so adult all the time. I like it a lot better when he’s okay with having fun. He looks less sad.

I swear if he goes in my cabin and tries to tidy up again, I’m gonna not speak to him for three whole days.

For every 💭 I receive, I will write one thought my Muse has had about yours.

Baby’s Day Out   [ SM & SMS ]

[syminseo]

@sysullivan

There was so much to their world that Minseo never had a chance to experience, but being on Serenity opened those doors. Seeing planets she never thought she would be able to go to always stopped her, letting her absorb the sight of the different worlds that laid outside the cockpit windows. She never got tired of seeing new things, seeing the ways planets were different in their beauty and their ugliness. Sometimes, she'd leave with the Captain to see the streets of busy markets and docks, but her favorites were always with Sully.

 Their stopover was going to be brief, but Sullivan had promised her the day. She had made sure to make him pinky swear to her that it wouldn't just be a supply trip. The Core Planets were special – glitzy and cultured that Minseo wanted to see up close. He would sometimes mention things about Core Planets that just heightened her curiosity until she pouted her way into a day with him. The closer to the approaching time, the antsier Minseo was for the chance.

 She was halfway in and out of sleep, face pressed against an old pillow when Sully knocked. His words filtered through the fog as Minseo jerked out of her sleep. She rolled out of bed with all the grace of a herd of buffalo into almost tripping over discarded clothes piles and junk on the floor. "Be right there!" Minseo yelled as she grabbed the closest shirt, tugging it over her head. Her attempts to multitask were a cacophony of muttered curses and kicked over rubbish in a search for her boots and trying to do her hair up at the same time. She was a whirlwind of motion and cheer, humming loudly as she dug up her breakfast from under a cushion.

 Finally, she threw open the door to her cabin with a half-eaten protein bar hanging out of the side of her mouth and a cheerful grin, "Gimmie a sec, Sully," she said, ripping off the rest of the packaging and carelessly discarding it to the floor of her cabin. Shutting the cabin door behind her, Minseo stuffed the rest of the protein bar into her mouth as her cheeks bulged. Chewing, Minseo hugged Sully tightly around the waist before she grabbed his hand. "Okay let's go," Minseo said through a mouthful of food.

☆ ツ ⌚

☆ : Of the sun, stars, and the moon, which is your muse’s favorite?

The stars. The stars are all so multiple and expansive that could stretch out further into space. Stars represent that whole sky to her and all that is important. Flying towards stars means freedom. Stars are important for guidance.

ツ : Does your muse prefer lots of friends, or just a few close ones?

If it was up to her, she’d have THOUSANDS. And they would all give her presents. :] She likes people a lot. She was kind of a lonely kid, so surrounding herself in people is Very Good.

⌚ : Is your muse good with keeping on schedule for meetings, appointments, or events, or are they always late? Or, are they always a bit early?

She’s good with “business” side of things, the pilot job stuff. Keeping them on schedule flying wise.

Personally, she’s not good. She can’t really tell time anyway?? So whenever Sully says “okay now” she’ll just trust Sully and go along. She usually is within the correct hour? Ish. Basically if she’s late, it’s cause Sully wasn’t involved. If she’s on time, probably because Sully made sure she was.

⍤✍♿❤

⍤ : What does your muse’s voice sound like? Is it light? High pitched? Scratchy? Deep?

It’s fuckin adorable that’s what it is. #dealwithit

Real answer: Lighter, higher pitched, cute. 

✍ : What is your muse’s handwriting like? Is it neat? Sloppy? Fancy?

Not fuckin adorable. It’s T R A S H writing. It looks like hieroglyphics and ancient chinese got in a fist fight in alley and slammed into her paper. It’s INCOMPREHENSIBLE to anyone who isn’t her. This is like Doctor chickenscratch if the doctor was also illiterate. 

She says her writing is fine by the way. Look how neatly she got it all on one page!

❤ [[He wants to see Jaewon flip his top again.]]

❤ : What are your muse’s thoughts on love? If they are not in a relationship, do they believe that they will ever find a perfect someone for them?

Minseo’s thoughts on love are very childish. She hasn’t had really any examples in her real life of romantic love. The closest she had was an already dead grandfather who her grandmother fondly called “that idiot.” And so much of her life had been forced to think on survival terms that she never really had the socialization to develop a less childlike, fairytale-ish concept of Love until she had this safe place to grow up.

So her concept of love is very storybook. Love is Perfect and Beautiful and Ends Happily Forever. She expects love to be like a love story, something dramatic and beautiful. The whole Romance thing. She absolutely believes she will find the perfect someone and they will go on DATES and KISS. And OTHER STUFF! (Genuinely, she has no idea. She may be more attracted to the idea of love than actually dating a human being, but it’s something you gotta experience and grow out of and she never has.)

[syminseo]

☃

☃  : What is your muse’s favorite season? What about their least favorite season, if they have one?

Transitional seasons have always been her favorites -- fall and spring. Just from her time on planet, it was the “safest” seasons. Least favorite is Winter. She hates being cold. She will burrow.

[syminseo]

☺ ⚡⚠

☺ : What is your muse’s smile like? Do they smile often?

Look at that smile. She lights up. And she’s a giggly bb who loves smiles. Dadwon likely would murder anyone who made her sad, even himself.

⚠ : How does your muse react to possibly dangerous situations? Do they face them head-on, or do they plan out their actions first?

She’s never actually been in a dangerous situation outside of a cockpit, because SOME PEOPLE don’t let her go on missions. Inside the cockpit, it’s usually more thoughtful in keeping Serenity safe. If confronted face to face, Minseo would...try really hard to kick their ass. This is why she isn’t allowed to go out, she’s bravado incarnate. She’s that little bird meme:

i’ll kick anyone’s ass. i’ll kick your ass. i’ll kick your dog’s ass. i’ll kick my own ass

[syminseo]

♿⚡♞

♿ : Has your muse had any injuries in the past?

Minseo’s had numerous “little” injuries over the years. Her dad basically let her figure things out on her own on the ship to learn What Not To Touch. So a few little scars on her hands, a spot on her index finger of a burn scar.

Scavenging brought a few others -- bumps and bruises mostly. She has a small scar covered by her hair on her head where she had some scrap fall on her and split it open. She has a bigger scar on her right knee that’s still pretty gnarly looking from getting cut where it managed to cut down to the white meat.

⚡ : How does your muse feel about storms? Are they afraid of them, or do they calm them?

The problem with living in the industrial areas on Beaumonde means storms and it means polluted water falling in your face from your gorram polluted skies. Storms just mean annoyance. Means trying to plug your roof to keep from rainwater falling on you while you sleep. Now as a pilot, storms are STILL an annoyance. 

♞ : What is your muse’s favorite animal?

Birds. Seeing a bird in flight is gorgeous to Minseo. She genuinely wishes she had wings a lot.
