found this in my draft from before i left tumblr so have this now. it’s silly shit about wanwo and vette recruiting quinn to help renovate the ship.

--

yknow i was thinking about that post i did about renovating the with warrior starship

(yknow this one http://oolathurman.tumblr.com/post/172211844145/house-hunters-narrator-voice-newly-appointed )

And how stupid it was of wanwo to decide that renovating a starship of all things was a good idea

Anyway, I feel like by the time wanwo and vette get to balmorra, the renovation has only just started and although it’s gotten to a point where only the basic necessities have been completed (bathroom is technically functional and there are technically enough beds and the kitchen technically has all the basic appliances in)

So when Quinn requests to be part of the crew, Wanwo’s just all ‘hm idk man what can u do’ and vette’s all “who cares what he can do? I can use some help around here.”

Wanwo thinks it over for a moment and then asks, “Quinn, how handy are you?”

“Excuse me, my lord? I don’t follow...”

“Can you take measurements and hammer in nails and install appliances?”

Vette snorts and explains, “Our big scary sith lord here decided it would be more economical for us to buy a used starship that’s in desperate need of renovation. And by renovating, he means gutting everything but the supporting frame and beams and throwing everything else out the airlock.”

“But you were getting headaches from the lighting system in there too! It’s been a mutual choice, right?”

“Uh, no? Cuz you’re the one with all the money, big guy. I’m on your crew. My income comes from yours. And I definitely wanted to go with the one that needed less renovating, by the way.”

“I— y’know what, I see how that was definitely a decision I made on my own and am definitely starting to feel consequences of. And that bit about how you’re on my crew. It was weird to think about in that context. But we’ll talk about it in a bit. For now! Lieutenant Quinn, how handy are you with power tools, measuring things, checking if they’re level, that sort of thing?”

“I, um— I can review the guidelines and rules for starship modifications, to ensure everything is up to code.”

“Well, considering those building codes are what makes sure we don’t have furniture flying around if the grav stops working, welcome aboard, Quinn! Get your things inside and settled in, but be careful. We haven’t finished the renovation in the crew quarters quite yet, so storage may be outside the actual room for now. At least until we can get the other bunk bed in and get started on the loft bed.”

“Oh? You are installing a loft bed in the crew’s quarters?”

“Yes, let me show you the bluepr— actually, why don’t you just come inside, and you can get an idea of what it looks like?”

“The ship does seem to be an older model...”

“That’s cuz it is. Mister Rich Sith was making it rain when he decided to buy a starship that was ten years old. Hey, if you know how to fiddle around with the engines later, maybe the sound won’t be so horrid at night. Anyway just throw your jacket on the table AND LEAVE YOUR SHOES AT THE DOOR! We aren’t tracking dirt onto my ship!”

“Technically mine, I signed the papers. Anyway, slippers are to your right in that corner, we plan to add a mirror in the entryway because otherwise the entryway looks less dismal and actually larger.”

“I see you’re in the process of adding shelving here...? What for?”

“For additional storage of things. Trying to figure out what yet. Anyway, this way is the kitchen, and as you can see—“

“Why is there a microwave on the floor next to the caff maker?”

“— we have a long way to go. Other side is worse though.”

“I’m almost afraid to ask...”
