 The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “I do not believe we may be able to pull that stunt again, unfortunately.” She then looked around. “So what should we do now? I’m sure today has been a long day for you.” | |
| Bucksden | "You're not wrong, it has been... I'm actually kinda tired, mentally that is. So I'd say we just... relax in the apartment for a while, and cool down after that adventure. Whew..." Of course, Heidrun wasn't physically tired, since she still had enough charge for a while, but having a more human-based mind does come with some mental burdens, which were starting to show through her speech and mannerisms. | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “This sounds like the perfect opportunity to test out the bed...for its comfort level of course.” | |
| New united carolinas | Election season It was a cold November night in New Raleigh. Ariana and her family had been keeping tabs on the election process for quite some time now. Astoundingly, Zara McCarthy of the cooperative democrats was in the lead. It had been some time since the Cooperative Democrats won a Presidential election. The last president of the CD party was Landon Monroe back in the 2116 Election. He only had one term, and performed relatively underwhelmingly in office. A conservative candidate would replace him the next election cycle. Still, the Cooperative Democrats were still a force to be reckoned with thanks to ranked-choice voting. The reasons were somewhat unclear to Ariana, although it could have to do with Zara's overall charisma and confidence. She was a no-nonsense candidate. And during the debates, she absolutely embarrassed Skylar Perry and Terry Hall by bringing up their mishandlings in their own provinces. Not to mention her beliefs were very similar to that of Ariana's. Ariana joined the Liberal party mostly because of its broad appeal as a safe leftist party. Although, her belief spectrum was actually across the LP, CD, and African Diaspora party. It was common for parties and their candidates in the NUC to have overlapping views with multiple parties. This of course applied to the people as well, which is why the ranked-choice voting system was very much welcomed when it was introduced. But now, a fresh wave of young voters was hitting the polls, and many of them could relate to Zara. She was the youngest candidate, close to turning 31. Yet you would almost think she's younger than that given her connection with young people. Unfortunately for the NUC, her rise to prominence did not seem to sit well with the government of their southern neighbor, Greater Florida, or as it was officially known as the great confederacy. They've went as far as to condemn Zara for her Social Democrat views during the debates. The Gulf Confederacy was a mixed bag of a nation. Carolinians know it as the last bastion of American conservative populism. One that still battled the effects of past systemic racism even more so than the NUC, and that's really saying something. The territory the nation consists of had been punch lines for decades upon decades. And because of the sheer lack of a consistent identity among the citizens of the nation, made even worse by the awkward shape of its borders, confederate government system, refusal to join the Pan-Amero zone, and their strongman leader constantly trying to pick fights with the Carolinas, it was clear Greater Florida was on a track destined for failure. Yet Zara actually touched on the issue with Greater Florida. With a surprising pacifist stance. More conservative Carolinians preferred to tighten border control to Greater Florida, as well as start placing embargos on the nation. It made sense: Greater Florida has had some naval ships and submarines get dangerously close to the Carolinian coast. Not to mention the constant fear-mongering the nation has done towards the NUC. The National Party of the NUC even went as far as to call Greater Florida "the greatest physical threat to the Carolinas since Dunharrow." But Zara took more of a calm approach. Despite the drastic political division, Zara constantly reiterated that the Floridian government was not the people. She cited her many trips to Aerbourne, South Georgia growing up. Given Aerbourne's proximity to Greater Florida, Zara had many chances to interact with people from there. She even got to venture in herself to visit Orlando, Miami, and the Everglades. And she heavily sympathized with the poor communities in what used to be Alabama and Mississippi. It was an interesting position to take. Ariana found that sentiment was quite important when talking about foreign policy, hoping that Zara would apply it to most aspects of her potential presidency. Achipel and Italia unita | |

 The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | quadruple bruh | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | "Hey, if I get that vacation at some point, let's do this again." He finishes his glass as well. "As you said, any more and I probably wouldn't be able to see any of the flight controls tomorrow." | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “I should probably...lie down somewhere...just in case...” It seemed as if the alcohol was finally catching up to her. | |
| Bucksden | Heidrun yawns. "Seems like a good idea to me, I'm gonna need some time to process the events of today. Let's go inside." | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | They go inside and the first thing Penny does is fall down onto the bed. “Hmm...soft and bouncy. I always thought firm would be bad for one’s back. Though technically we can’t get back problems.” | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | "Hey, you alright? You look like you're getting exponentially more tired by the second." | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “Just probably need a moment to lie-” She isn’t able to finish her sentence as her head slams onto the table and she starts snoring. | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | Markos smiles. "Hm. Guess we don't need a rematch then, eh?" He walks to the guest quarters next to the mess hall, and drops Adlez gently onto the bunk, gives her a small kiss on the cheek, and then silently walks out of the room, pumping his fist silently and feeling something near elation. | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | By the next morning, Adlez wakes up, her mouth try and head slightly spinning. It takes her a moment to realize where she is and she groans, feeling embarrassed. Hopefully she didn’t make a scene. She got up and splashed some water onto her face. She was going to have to leave again, and while she knew Markos would be disappointed, she had no choice. Still, a quick shower never hurt and admittedly she needed one. | |
| Bucksden | "I know some people like firm, but..." She lays down on the bed as well, shaking the pillow as she moves it into a more comfortable position to rest her head on. "...I do like it soft, if my memory serves me correctly. Which it probably does, since this is quite comfy." | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “Fortunately we don’t have to worry about temperature,” Penny said as she laid on the other pillow. “It is actually nice to sleep on a bed instead of hooking up to a charger...” | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | Markos is at the pilot's seat of the Salamis. It's only been 5 days since he done it last, but it feels like it's been forever. At times he feels a splitting headache, but he's not too worried. After all, the only assignment for the next few days is orbit around Nea Konstantinopolis, which essentially meant sitting around and making sure that the ship didn't detach and crash into the space station somehow. 2nd Pilot Markos Kalamoutsos, Phillipos Tsianakas, captain of the Salamis Hm. Well, he supposed it was about that new hellish planet he'd just been to. It was 11:00 about that time, so he figured he could get rid of the splitting headache before then. | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | After a much needed shower, Adlez got dressed and as she was about to leave, she realized she didn’t know her way around the ship. Either she could wait for Markos to show up or she could attempt to find her way to the mess hall and then to the hangar. | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | While on Lunch Break, Markos figures he should check up on Adlez is doing. | |
| Bucksden | "There's something about the experience, you know? Getting your energy from a machine just isn't the same as laying down on something comfortable, maybe with something on top of you depending on the climate... and someone beside you, if that's how things have ended up. It's not something I'd trade away for efficiency, even if I've lost my need for biological sleep." Heidrun looked down with a sad expression on her face before continuing. "...well, enough about that. I'm glad you enjoy it, because you're gonna be sleeping in beds more often going forward." | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | Adlez opened the door, looking embarrassed. “Did I really pass out?” | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | Heidi was suddenly hugged from behind. “I look forward to it, dear friend,” Penny said. | |
| The Pacific Federation of Ryanius | "Yep, right on the table." Markos says, smiling. | |
| The Systems Alliance of Ventus Prime | “Ugh...sorry...” She sighed. “You think you can point me towards the mess hall and the hangar. I’ve overstayed my welcome...” | |
| Bucksden | Heidi smiled, even if Penny wouldn't be able to see it. "Same here." She yawned again, before her vision began to fade... |
