______________________

Imma probably make a proper post about Aquarius later but here's a tldr for him!

Aquarius's species is semi-aquatic, so he's really good at swimming, he has gills, yada yada, water boi.

His leg was fucked in a territory dispute he did not want a part of, skedaddled, somehow ended up on the Aurora and is now hiding in the vents because he can't like, go anywhere.

His left leg is covered from thigh to foot in scar tissue, down to (and sometimes even through) the muscle, which messes with his mobility in his leg and makes it hard to walk on, I'll be honest it's kind of a miracle he still has it.

I have also made the executive decision he's gay. Idfk his colour pallete is suspiciously similar to the gay flag and I was like 'omg he's a walking gay flag' so he's now gay.

His partners name is Beryl and he's green. His species also mates for life, Aqua is strictly monogamous.

If we take TMA into account, he's a vast guy. What with ocean guy.

mod is an adult

Note: This acc follows a non-linear timeline, I will jump around a bit LMAO

Here's aqua's WIP redesign lol.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

my leg hurts.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

aqua watching you and Charlie flirt from under the bed: 🫪

Oh.

Forgot he was under there, he's very quiet.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

should I leave.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Yes. It's a little creepy just knowing you're under there.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

okay.

*He scrambles out from under the bed (much to Charlie's confusion, who had no idea he was there) and disappears up into the vent in the ceiling (with a lot of difficulty)*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

aqua watching you and Charlie flirt from under the bed: 🫪

Oh.

Forgot he was under there, he's very quiet.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

should I leave.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

Well this is definitely one of the weirder things you lot have dropped out the vents.

Do I get to know why??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*There's a surprised chirp from inside the vents, and whoever dropped it quickly scampered. Or at least they tried to, they ended up whacking into the side of the vent, followed closely by a loud, pained whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He sighs and holds the bottle up to the vent*

I'm not going to shoot you if you want it back.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny hands him the bottle, even more confused about this, when the hell were they last on a water world?*

Where the fuck did we pick up you???

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabbed the bottle. There were some scars on him, healed but clearly new, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. some on his arms, on his shoulder, one on the bridge of his nose, the fins of his right ear had a tear in them.*

don't... know.

*oh, so he can speak! in broken SpEnglish but oh well.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* Figures.

*Jonny is actually fairly curious about this guy, most sentient species were land based, so finding an aquatic one was rare.*

Name? Language?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He made a series of clicks and whistles, who knows what any of it meant though.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny sighed again, this was going to be annoying. There was probably a good story here but getting it out would be difficult.*

Right. No clue what that means.

*He grabs out a pen and paper from his jacket and writes out a list of various languages, he hands it to the other man.*

Know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He chirped curiously, leaning over to get a closer look at the paper, which would have been fine, if he hadn't lost his balance trying to grab it and fallen out of the vent, directly onto Jonny.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny topples over from the other man falling on him. He lands on the ground with a curse. Once he gets his bearings he shoves the other guy off of him and sits up.*

You alright?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The scars intrigued Jonny, that was definitely a story, the question was, could they speak to each other enough for him to get it? Jonny points to the scarred leg.*

Ooh, how'd you get that?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He clicked quietly, attempting to stand up. unfortunately, his leg immediately buckled the moment he put weight on it, sending him straight back onto the floor.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny is still sitting on the floor so when he falls, Jonny is right under him. Jonny lets out an oof sound at being fallen on again.*

Maybe don't try that again.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua whined quietly, but doesn't try to get up.*

Leg... hurt.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I can see that.

*Jonny is gentle this time when he moves aqua off of him. He puts his arm around aquas chest and stands with him, holding him up so that he doesn't need to put weight on his leg. Once they're up he sits down with aqua on his bed*

Better. Now we can talk.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

Let's try this again, know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabs the paper, looking it over, unfortunately, he just looks confused.*

uhm...

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny puts a hand on his face, he forgot to check if aqua could read. Even if he could, the written language was probably wildly different than what he used.*

Alright new plan, I say a bunch of languages, you tell if you know one.

*Jonny proceeds to list out a bunch of languages, to see if aqua knew any of them better than SpEnglish.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*It took a while and a lot of digging to figure out what his language was, but eventually he lit up and chirped happily when Jonny mentioned one.*

That- is... that one.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*thankfully, that was a language Jonny was mostly fluent in. He didn't use it often, but it should be fine.*

Good!

Now, question one, what happened to your leg??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua ended up just communicating it in his language.*

Got attacked. Ran away to hide, and now I'm here. I miss Beryl..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The language swap slightly annoyed Jonny, but he could deal with that.*

Uh, can you use this language? I don't know that one...

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He nodded, switching to the language Jonny was using with ease.*

Okay.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

So your leg? What happened?

*Jonny clicked open his pen to take notes on the story, he wanted to make sure he got all the details.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He explains it as best he can, how he got stuck in the wrong current and got very, very most far away from his pod, that he'd swam for ages trying to find them again to no luck.*

I stopped on an island for a bit for some rest, but some others found me. They must have gotten territorial and thought I was an intruder.

*He gestured to his leg vaguely, hoping that Jonny got the point.*

I ran, as best I could. I just wanted to find Beryl. I ended up here.. so I hid.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny writes this down with as many details as he can. This is a fantastic story, it will make a great song!*

Fascinating! And Beryl is...?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He whined sadly, his ears flattening down on his skull.*

I miss him..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Ah, a doomed romance. I always love those!

*He writes down the word 'husband' next to Beryl, regardless of whether that's true it's going in the song, a little embellishment never hurt anyone.*

Tell me, does your planet have a name?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't answer, curling up in a ball the moment Jonny mentioned 'doomed' with a sad whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* I didn't mean it like that, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. We're going to stop by your planet and it'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't seem entirely convinced.*

You kill other stowaways. you'll just kill me too, and throw me out of the airlock..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I kill boring and annoying stowaways with no good stories. You're rather interesting and you have a good story, I won't kill you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He rubbed his face with his hands, squeezing his eyes shut.*

I just want to go home. I hate it here.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

You'll go home eventually, I'll need to stop by your planet anyway if I want to write a good song.

Where are you from anyway?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He shrugged.*

Don't know the name. Mostly water, some islands.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good enough, there aren't too many water worlds with people on them, Ivy probably knows what it is.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

My leg hurts..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Shocking.

Your leg is more scar than leg at this point, I'd offer drugs, but I don't know what you can safely eat.

Marius probably has something, you can ask him for medical shit. Though he'll probably make you do ""therapy"" if you talk to him.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

He scares me.. you all scare me. I don't want to die.. not here..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Nobody's killing you. You're too pathetic to kill, it wouldn't be any fun.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

Someone might..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Trust me, they won't.

I'm the guy who kills everyone, if I don't kill you then you'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

The tall shooty guy kills people a lot.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

True. But he has reasons for killing people, I just kill people when I can't be bothered to cook.

...

I won't eat you, I don't really like fish.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He hummed quietly, curling up in a tight ball, his tail covering his face.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He thinks for a moment before pulling out a box from under his bed, rummaging for a moment, pulling out a spare com and offering it to him.*

...it's got text to speech and a translator. Tell them I said you're off limits and you'll be fine. It's got my name on it so they'll know you're not lying.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He eyed the comm suspiciously, having witnessed Tim turn some into explosives a handful of times.*

Not going to explode?

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's safe.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He took it carefully, looking it over.*

Okay..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good.

And if anyone asks I gave it to you in exchange for the story about your leg.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He stretched his leg carefully, the scars definitely impeded its mobility a lot, and by the looks of it some of them hadn't healed right.*

I wish it would stop hurting..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Well, we probably have drugs that you can take somewhere, or you could get rid of it.

Depends on how much you need the leg.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

I swim most of the time. Might be a bit off balance but it'd probably be fine.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Then I'd say let Raph take the leg off, she'll do it if you let her keep your leg as payment.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He hummed, curling up in a tight ball.*

I don't want to die..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

We literally just had this conversation.

You really are a wuss, just don't be annoying on purpose and you'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He glanced up at the vent, realising he definitely wouldn't be making it back up there, he climbed under Jonny's bed to hide.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Like I said. Wuss.

*Jonny is done trying to convince him of his not death. He has other things to do. He walks over to his desk, pulls out a folder, and starts looking stuff up from a list, writing something down after each thing on the list*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua just stays under the bed, clearly having no intention of coming out any time soon.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

Let's try this again, know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabs the paper, looking it over, unfortunately, he just looks confused.*

uhm...

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny puts a hand on his face, he forgot to check if aqua could read. Even if he could, the written language was probably wildly different than what he used.*

Alright new plan, I say a bunch of languages, you tell if you know one.

*Jonny proceeds to list out a bunch of languages, to see if aqua knew any of them better than SpEnglish.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*It took a while and a lot of digging to figure out what his language was, but eventually he lit up and chirped happily when Jonny mentioned one.*

That- is... that one.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*thankfully, that was a language Jonny was mostly fluent in. He didn't use it often, but it should be fine.*

Good!

Now, question one, what happened to your leg??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua ended up just communicating it in his language.*

Got attacked. Ran away to hide, and now I'm here. I miss Beryl..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The language swap slightly annoyed Jonny, but he could deal with that.*

Uh, can you use this language? I don't know that one...

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He nodded, switching to the language Jonny was using with ease.*

Okay.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

So your leg? What happened?

*Jonny clicked open his pen to take notes on the story, he wanted to make sure he got all the details.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He explains it as best he can, how he got stuck in the wrong current and got very, very most far away from his pod, that he'd swam for ages trying to find them again to no luck.*

I stopped on an island for a bit for some rest, but some others found me. They must have gotten territorial and thought I was an intruder.

*He gestured to his leg vaguely, hoping that Jonny got the point.*

I ran, as best I could. I just wanted to find Beryl. I ended up here.. so I hid.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny writes this down with as many details as he can. This is a fantastic story, it will make a great song!*

Fascinating! And Beryl is...?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He whined sadly, his ears flattening down on his skull.*

I miss him..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Ah, a doomed romance. I always love those!

*He writes down the word 'husband' next to Beryl, regardless of whether that's true it's going in the song, a little embellishment never hurt anyone.*

Tell me, does your planet have a name?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't answer, curling up in a ball the moment Jonny mentioned 'doomed' with a sad whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* I didn't mean it like that, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. We're going to stop by your planet and it'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't seem entirely convinced.*

You kill other stowaways. you'll just kill me too, and throw me out of the airlock..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I kill boring and annoying stowaways with no good stories. You're rather interesting and you have a good story, I won't kill you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He rubbed his face with his hands, squeezing his eyes shut.*

I just want to go home. I hate it here.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

You'll go home eventually, I'll need to stop by your planet anyway if I want to write a good song.

Where are you from anyway?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He shrugged.*

Don't know the name. Mostly water, some islands.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good enough, there aren't too many water worlds with people on them, Ivy probably knows what it is.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

My leg hurts..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Shocking.

Your leg is more scar than leg at this point, I'd offer drugs, but I don't know what you can safely eat.

Marius probably has something, you can ask him for medical shit. Though he'll probably make you do ""therapy"" if you talk to him.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

He scares me.. you all scare me. I don't want to die.. not here..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Nobody's killing you. You're too pathetic to kill, it wouldn't be any fun.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

Someone might..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Trust me, they won't.

I'm the guy who kills everyone, if I don't kill you then you'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

The tall shooty guy kills people a lot.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

True. But he has reasons for killing people, I just kill people when I can't be bothered to cook.

...

I won't eat you, I don't really like fish.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He hummed quietly, curling up in a tight ball, his tail covering his face.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He thinks for a moment before pulling out a box from under his bed, rummaging for a moment, pulling out a spare com and offering it to him.*

...it's got text to speech and a translator. Tell them I said you're off limits and you'll be fine. It's got my name on it so they'll know you're not lying.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He eyed the comm suspiciously, having witnessed Tim turn some into explosives a handful of times.*

Not going to explode?

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's safe.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He took it carefully, looking it over.*

Okay..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good.

And if anyone asks I gave it to you in exchange for the story about your leg.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He stretched his leg carefully, the scars definitely impeded its mobility a lot, and by the looks of it some of them hadn't healed right.*

I wish it would stop hurting..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Well, we probably have drugs that you can take somewhere, or you could get rid of it.

Depends on how much you need the leg.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

I swim most of the time. Might be a bit off balance but it'd probably be fine.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Then I'd say let Raph take the leg off, she'll do it if you let her keep your leg as payment.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He hummed, curling up in a tight ball.*

I don't want to die..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

Well this is definitely one of the weirder things you lot have dropped out the vents.

Do I get to know why??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*There's a surprised chirp from inside the vents, and whoever dropped it quickly scampered. Or at least they tried to, they ended up whacking into the side of the vent, followed closely by a loud, pained whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He sighs and holds the bottle up to the vent*

I'm not going to shoot you if you want it back.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny hands him the bottle, even more confused about this, when the hell were they last on a water world?*

Where the fuck did we pick up you???

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabbed the bottle. There were some scars on him, healed but clearly new, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. some on his arms, on his shoulder, one on the bridge of his nose, the fins of his right ear had a tear in them.*

don't... know.

*oh, so he can speak! in broken SpEnglish but oh well.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* Figures.

*Jonny is actually fairly curious about this guy, most sentient species were land based, so finding an aquatic one was rare.*

Name? Language?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He made a series of clicks and whistles, who knows what any of it meant though.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny sighed again, this was going to be annoying. There was probably a good story here but getting it out would be difficult.*

Right. No clue what that means.

*He grabs out a pen and paper from his jacket and writes out a list of various languages, he hands it to the other man.*

Know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He chirped curiously, leaning over to get a closer look at the paper, which would have been fine, if he hadn't lost his balance trying to grab it and fallen out of the vent, directly onto Jonny.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny topples over from the other man falling on him. He lands on the ground with a curse. Once he gets his bearings he shoves the other guy off of him and sits up.*

You alright?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The scars intrigued Jonny, that was definitely a story, the question was, could they speak to each other enough for him to get it? Jonny points to the scarred leg.*

Ooh, how'd you get that?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He clicked quietly, attempting to stand up. unfortunately, his leg immediately buckled the moment he put weight on it, sending him straight back onto the floor.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny is still sitting on the floor so when he falls, Jonny is right under him. Jonny lets out an oof sound at being fallen on again.*

Maybe don't try that again.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua whined quietly, but doesn't try to get up.*

Leg... hurt.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I can see that.

*Jonny is gentle this time when he moves aqua off of him. He puts his arm around aquas chest and stands with him, holding him up so that he doesn't need to put weight on his leg. Once they're up he sits down with aqua on his bed*

Better. Now we can talk.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny hands him the bottle, even more confused about this, when the hell were they last on a water world?*

Where the fuck did we pick up you???

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabbed the bottle. There were some scars on him, healed but clearly new, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. some on his arms, on his shoulder, one on the bridge of his nose, the fins of his right ear had a tear in them.*

don't... know.

*oh, so he can speak! in broken SpEnglish but oh well.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* Figures.

*Jonny is actually fairly curious about this guy, most sentient species were land based, so finding an aquatic one was rare.*

Name? Language?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He made a series of clicks and whistles, who knows what any of it meant though.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny sighed again, this was going to be annoying. There was probably a good story here but getting it out would be difficult.*

Right. No clue what that means.

*He grabs out a pen and paper from his jacket and writes out a list of various languages, he hands it to the other man.*

Know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He chirped curiously, leaning over to get a closer look at the paper, which would have been fine, if he hadn't lost his balance trying to grab it and fallen out of the vent, directly onto Jonny.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny topples over from the other man falling on him. He lands on the ground with a curse. Once he gets his bearings he shoves the other guy off of him and sits up.*

You alright?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The scars intrigued Jonny, that was definitely a story, the question was, could they speak to each other enough for him to get it? Jonny points to the scarred leg.*

Ooh, how'd you get that?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He clicked quietly, attempting to stand up. unfortunately, his leg immediately buckled the moment he put weight on it, sending him straight back onto the floor.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny is still sitting on the floor so when he falls, Jonny is right under him. Jonny lets out an oof sound at being fallen on again.*

Maybe don't try that again.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua whined quietly, but doesn't try to get up.*

Leg... hurt.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I can see that.

*Jonny is gentle this time when he moves aqua off of him. He puts his arm around aquas chest and stands with him, holding him up so that he doesn't need to put weight on his leg. Once they're up he sits down with aqua on his bed*

Better. Now we can talk.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

Let's try this again, know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabs the paper, looking it over, unfortunately, he just looks confused.*

uhm...

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny puts a hand on his face, he forgot to check if aqua could read. Even if he could, the written language was probably wildly different than what he used.*

Alright new plan, I say a bunch of languages, you tell if you know one.

*Jonny proceeds to list out a bunch of languages, to see if aqua knew any of them better than SpEnglish.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*It took a while and a lot of digging to figure out what his language was, but eventually he lit up and chirped happily when Jonny mentioned one.*

That- is... that one.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*thankfully, that was a language Jonny was mostly fluent in. He didn't use it often, but it should be fine.*

Good!

Now, question one, what happened to your leg??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua ended up just communicating it in his language.*

Got attacked. Ran away to hide, and now I'm here. I miss Beryl..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The language swap slightly annoyed Jonny, but he could deal with that.*

Uh, can you use this language? I don't know that one...

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He nodded, switching to the language Jonny was using with ease.*

Okay.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

So your leg? What happened?

*Jonny clicked open his pen to take notes on the story, he wanted to make sure he got all the details.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He explains it as best he can, how he got stuck in the wrong current and got very, very most far away from his pod, that he'd swam for ages trying to find them again to no luck.*

I stopped on an island for a bit for some rest, but some others found me. They must have gotten territorial and thought I was an intruder.

*He gestured to his leg vaguely, hoping that Jonny got the point.*

I ran, as best I could. I just wanted to find Beryl. I ended up here.. so I hid.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny writes this down with as many details as he can. This is a fantastic story, it will make a great song!*

Fascinating! And Beryl is...?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He whined sadly, his ears flattening down on his skull.*

I miss him..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Ah, a doomed romance. I always love those!

*He writes down the word 'husband' next to Beryl, regardless of whether that's true it's going in the song, a little embellishment never hurt anyone.*

Tell me, does your planet have a name?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't answer, curling up in a ball the moment Jonny mentioned 'doomed' with a sad whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* I didn't mean it like that, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. We're going to stop by your planet and it'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't seem entirely convinced.*

You kill other stowaways. you'll just kill me too, and throw me out of the airlock..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I kill boring and annoying stowaways with no good stories. You're rather interesting and you have a good story, I won't kill you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He rubbed his face with his hands, squeezing his eyes shut.*

I just want to go home. I hate it here.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

You'll go home eventually, I'll need to stop by your planet anyway if I want to write a good song.

Where are you from anyway?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He shrugged.*

Don't know the name. Mostly water, some islands.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good enough, there aren't too many water worlds with people on them, Ivy probably knows what it is.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

My leg hurts..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Shocking.

Your leg is more scar than leg at this point, I'd offer drugs, but I don't know what you can safely eat.

Marius probably has something, you can ask him for medical shit. Though he'll probably make you do ""therapy"" if you talk to him.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

He scares me.. you all scare me. I don't want to die.. not here..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Nobody's killing you. You're too pathetic to kill, it wouldn't be any fun.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

Someone might..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Trust me, they won't.

I'm the guy who kills everyone, if I don't kill you then you'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

The tall shooty guy kills people a lot.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

True. But he has reasons for killing people, I just kill people when I can't be bothered to cook.

...

I won't eat you, I don't really like fish.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He hummed quietly, curling up in a tight ball, his tail covering his face.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He thinks for a moment before pulling out a box from under his bed, rummaging for a moment, pulling out a spare com and offering it to him.*

...it's got text to speech and a translator. Tell them I said you're off limits and you'll be fine. It's got my name on it so they'll know you're not lying.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He eyed the comm suspiciously, having witnessed Tim turn some into explosives a handful of times.*

Not going to explode?

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's safe.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He took it carefully, looking it over.*

Okay..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

Well this is definitely one of the weirder things you lot have dropped out the vents.

Do I get to know why??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*There's a surprised chirp from inside the vents, and whoever dropped it quickly scampered. Or at least they tried to, they ended up whacking into the side of the vent, followed closely by a loud, pained whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He sighs and holds the bottle up to the vent*

I'm not going to shoot you if you want it back.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny hands him the bottle, even more confused about this, when the hell were they last on a water world?*

Where the fuck did we pick up you???

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabbed the bottle. There were some scars on him, healed but clearly new, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. some on his arms, on his shoulder, one on the bridge of his nose, the fins of his right ear had a tear in them.*

don't... know.

*oh, so he can speak! in broken SpEnglish but oh well.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* Figures.

*Jonny is actually fairly curious about this guy, most sentient species were land based, so finding an aquatic one was rare.*

Name? Language?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He made a series of clicks and whistles, who knows what any of it meant though.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny sighed again, this was going to be annoying. There was probably a good story here but getting it out would be difficult.*

Right. No clue what that means.

*He grabs out a pen and paper from his jacket and writes out a list of various languages, he hands it to the other man.*

Know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He chirped curiously, leaning over to get a closer look at the paper, which would have been fine, if he hadn't lost his balance trying to grab it and fallen out of the vent, directly onto Jonny.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny topples over from the other man falling on him. He lands on the ground with a curse. Once he gets his bearings he shoves the other guy off of him and sits up.*

You alright?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The scars intrigued Jonny, that was definitely a story, the question was, could they speak to each other enough for him to get it? Jonny points to the scarred leg.*

Ooh, how'd you get that?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He clicked quietly, attempting to stand up. unfortunately, his leg immediately buckled the moment he put weight on it, sending him straight back onto the floor.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny is still sitting on the floor so when he falls, Jonny is right under him. Jonny lets out an oof sound at being fallen on again.*

Maybe don't try that again.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua whined quietly, but doesn't try to get up.*

Leg... hurt.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I can see that.

*Jonny is gentle this time when he moves aqua off of him. He puts his arm around aquas chest and stands with him, holding him up so that he doesn't need to put weight on his leg. Once they're up he sits down with aqua on his bed*

Better. Now we can talk.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

Let's try this again, know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabs the paper, looking it over, unfortunately, he just looks confused.*

uhm...

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny puts a hand on his face, he forgot to check if aqua could read. Even if he could, the written language was probably wildly different than what he used.*

Alright new plan, I say a bunch of languages, you tell if you know one.

*Jonny proceeds to list out a bunch of languages, to see if aqua knew any of them better than SpEnglish.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*It took a while and a lot of digging to figure out what his language was, but eventually he lit up and chirped happily when Jonny mentioned one.*

That- is... that one.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*thankfully, that was a language Jonny was mostly fluent in. He didn't use it often, but it should be fine.*

Good!

Now, question one, what happened to your leg??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua ended up just communicating it in his language.*

Got attacked. Ran away to hide, and now I'm here. I miss Beryl..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The language swap slightly annoyed Jonny, but he could deal with that.*

Uh, can you use this language? I don't know that one...

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He nodded, switching to the language Jonny was using with ease.*

Okay.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

So your leg? What happened?

*Jonny clicked open his pen to take notes on the story, he wanted to make sure he got all the details.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He explains it as best he can, how he got stuck in the wrong current and got very, very most far away from his pod, that he'd swam for ages trying to find them again to no luck.*

I stopped on an island for a bit for some rest, but some others found me. They must have gotten territorial and thought I was an intruder.

*He gestured to his leg vaguely, hoping that Jonny got the point.*

I ran, as best I could. I just wanted to find Beryl. I ended up here.. so I hid.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny writes this down with as many details as he can. This is a fantastic story, it will make a great song!*

Fascinating! And Beryl is...?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He whined sadly, his ears flattening down on his skull.*

I miss him..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Ah, a doomed romance. I always love those!

*He writes down the word 'husband' next to Beryl, regardless of whether that's true it's going in the song, a little embellishment never hurt anyone.*

Tell me, does your planet have a name?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't answer, curling up in a ball the moment Jonny mentioned 'doomed' with a sad whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* I didn't mean it like that, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. We're going to stop by your planet and it'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't seem entirely convinced.*

You kill other stowaways. you'll just kill me too, and throw me out of the airlock..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I kill boring and annoying stowaways with no good stories. You're rather interesting and you have a good story, I won't kill you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He rubbed his face with his hands, squeezing his eyes shut.*

I just want to go home. I hate it here.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

You'll go home eventually, I'll need to stop by your planet anyway if I want to write a good song.

Where are you from anyway?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He shrugged.*

Don't know the name. Mostly water, some islands.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good enough, there aren't too many water worlds with people on them, Ivy probably knows what it is.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

My leg hurts..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Shocking.

Your leg is more scar than leg at this point, I'd offer drugs, but I don't know what you can safely eat.

Marius probably has something, you can ask him for medical shit. Though he'll probably make you do ""therapy"" if you talk to him.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

He scares me.. you all scare me. I don't want to die.. not here..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Nobody's killing you. You're too pathetic to kill, it wouldn't be any fun.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

Someone might..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Trust me, they won't.

I'm the guy who kills everyone, if I don't kill you then you'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

The tall shooty guy kills people a lot.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

Well this is definitely one of the weirder things you lot have dropped out the vents.

Do I get to know why??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*There's a surprised chirp from inside the vents, and whoever dropped it quickly scampered. Or at least they tried to, they ended up whacking into the side of the vent, followed closely by a loud, pained whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He sighs and holds the bottle up to the vent*

I'm not going to shoot you if you want it back.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The scars intrigued Jonny, that was definitely a story, the question was, could they speak to each other enough for him to get it? Jonny points to the scarred leg.*

Ooh, how'd you get that?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He clicked quietly, attempting to stand up. unfortunately, his leg immediately buckled the moment he put weight on it, sending him straight back onto the floor.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny is still sitting on the floor so when he falls, Jonny is right under him. Jonny lets out an oof sound at being fallen on again.*

Maybe don't try that again.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua whined quietly, but doesn't try to get up.*

Leg... hurt.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I can see that.

*Jonny is gentle this time when he moves aqua off of him. He puts his arm around aquas chest and stands with him, holding him up so that he doesn't need to put weight on his leg. Once they're up he sits down with aqua on his bed*

Better. Now we can talk.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua flops down on the bed, wincing when the fabric of his sheets rubbed against the scars on the back of his thigh.*

*It was easier to see his leg now, it was clearly fucked, covered from foot to thigh in muscle deep scars. it wasn't a surprise he couldn't put any weight on it.*

Sorry..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

It's fine.

*He dropped the first list of languages so he rewrites it and hands it to aqua.*

Let's try this again, know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabs the paper, looking it over, unfortunately, he just looks confused.*

uhm...

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny puts a hand on his face, he forgot to check if aqua could read. Even if he could, the written language was probably wildly different than what he used.*

Alright new plan, I say a bunch of languages, you tell if you know one.

*Jonny proceeds to list out a bunch of languages, to see if aqua knew any of them better than SpEnglish.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*It took a while and a lot of digging to figure out what his language was, but eventually he lit up and chirped happily when Jonny mentioned one.*

That- is... that one.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*thankfully, that was a language Jonny was mostly fluent in. He didn't use it often, but it should be fine.*

Good!

Now, question one, what happened to your leg??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua ended up just communicating it in his language.*

Got attacked. Ran away to hide, and now I'm here. I miss Beryl..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*The language swap slightly annoyed Jonny, but he could deal with that.*

Uh, can you use this language? I don't know that one...

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He nodded, switching to the language Jonny was using with ease.*

Okay.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

So your leg? What happened?

*Jonny clicked open his pen to take notes on the story, he wanted to make sure he got all the details.*

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He explains it as best he can, how he got stuck in the wrong current and got very, very most far away from his pod, that he'd swam for ages trying to find them again to no luck.*

I stopped on an island for a bit for some rest, but some others found me. They must have gotten territorial and thought I was an intruder.

*He gestured to his leg vaguely, hoping that Jonny got the point.*

I ran, as best I could. I just wanted to find Beryl. I ended up here.. so I hid.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny writes this down with as many details as he can. This is a fantastic story, it will make a great song!*

Fascinating! And Beryl is...?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He whined sadly, his ears flattening down on his skull.*

I miss him..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Ah, a doomed romance. I always love those!

*He writes down the word 'husband' next to Beryl, regardless of whether that's true it's going in the song, a little embellishment never hurt anyone.*

Tell me, does your planet have a name?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't answer, curling up in a ball the moment Jonny mentioned 'doomed' with a sad whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* I didn't mean it like that, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. We're going to stop by your planet and it'll be fine.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He didn't seem entirely convinced.*

You kill other stowaways. you'll just kill me too, and throw me out of the airlock..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

I kill boring and annoying stowaways with no good stories. You're rather interesting and you have a good story, I won't kill you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He rubbed his face with his hands, squeezing his eyes shut.*

I just want to go home. I hate it here.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

You'll go home eventually, I'll need to stop by your planet anyway if I want to write a good song.

Where are you from anyway?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He shrugged.*

Don't know the name. Mostly water, some islands.

[the-captain-fuck-you]

Good enough, there aren't too many water worlds with people on them, Ivy probably knows what it is.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

My leg hurts..

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Something falls out of the vents, straight onto Jonny's floor with a loud bang. It was a bottle of half used antiseptic.*

- 🌊

*He picks up the bottle and stares at the vent with a baffled look*

Well this is definitely one of the weirder things you lot have dropped out the vents.

Do I get to know why??

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*There's a surprised chirp from inside the vents, and whoever dropped it quickly scampered. Or at least they tried to, they ended up whacking into the side of the vent, followed closely by a loud, pained whine.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*He sighs and holds the bottle up to the vent*

I'm not going to shoot you if you want it back.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*A face peaks over the edge of the vent, staring down at him cautiously, clearly scared of Jonny. He's definitely not a crewmate.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*So it is a stowaway, though not one he's seen before. Probably a new one, where do they even come from? The fear is reasonable, he does hunt them for sport. It's not his fault that they make good target practice.*

Oh just take it, I already said I won't shoot you.

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He poked his head out of the vent, using one. to grab for the bottle. he was extremely fish-like, finned ears, smooth blue skin, darker on the back, lighter on the stomach. He didn't leave the vent.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny hands him the bottle, even more confused about this, when the hell were they last on a water world?*

Where the fuck did we pick up you???

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He grabbed the bottle. There were some scars on him, healed but clearly new, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. some on his arms, on his shoulder, one on the bridge of his nose, the fins of his right ear had a tear in them.*

don't... know.

*oh, so he can speak! in broken SpEnglish but oh well.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*sigh* Figures.

*Jonny is actually fairly curious about this guy, most sentient species were land based, so finding an aquatic one was rare.*

Name? Language?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He made a series of clicks and whistles, who knows what any of it meant though.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny sighed again, this was going to be annoying. There was probably a good story here but getting it out would be difficult.*

Right. No clue what that means.

*He grabs out a pen and paper from his jacket and writes out a list of various languages, he hands it to the other man.*

Know any of these?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*He chirped curiously, leaning over to get a closer look at the paper, which would have been fine, if he hadn't lost his balance trying to grab it and fallen out of the vent, directly onto Jonny.*

[the-captain-fuck-you]

*Jonny topples over from the other man falling on him. He lands on the ground with a curse. Once he gets his bearings he shoves the other guy off of him and sits up.*

You alright?

[ventgoblinaquarius]

*Aqua rolled onto his right side with a pained whine, now that he wasn't half hidden by the vent, Jonny could actually see him. Long tail, scars littered across his body, and a very fucked up left leg. There were more scars on his leg than the rest of his entire body.*

mmmmmmoww..
