Passengers: Theo Crawford, Lucifer, and any and all wardens and inmates
Location: All over the Peregrine
Date: Week of March 10
Summary: Theo is out to: enact a plan, ride in an elevator, and avoid therapy.
Warnings: will update as needed
1. Inmates
[Theo is on a mission this week. While he's never been the best at hiding his emotions, it's taking more willpower than ever to keep his nerves in check as he approaches other inmates. He's not as nervous about the plan as much as he is in trusting others to be involved, in needing to rely on all these other people he barely knows. But there was no other way this plan could work.
While out on cleaning duty, Theo will be looking out for inmates who are alone, or in small groups, any spot on the ship that's away from the wardens. Places like a lonely hallway, near a normally empty room like the chapel, or sitting in small groups in the mess hall is where he'll approach them, even if it's an inmate he's never really talked to before. He's been scarce this last month, being made to stay in his warden's adjoining room instead of the dorms. Voice quiet and eyes darting around, he takes a quick, deep breath to steady himself.]
Hey. Listen to me. Just for a minute. It's important.
[OOC: please see this post for details. Welcoming threads with multiple inmates in here, so feel free to jump in wherever with one. If you want to just handwave a conversation, that's fine.]
2. Wardens
[While also out on cleaning duty, Theo has to hop in an elevator to travel from one of the spires back to the center, which means it's a trip on the elevator. He hesitates when the door opens and there's a warden already inside, glowering at them, before deciding he didn't feel like waiting around for the next trip.
He really should have waited. Normally an uneventful ride, this time there's a shudder as the elevator stalls out when switching gravity modules. A robotic voice tells the occupants to remain calm and hold tight while the module is reset and the trip is restored, the latter of the instructions being quite literal. Welcome to some quality time in zero-g with an inmate. Theo holds onto the railing with one hand, and his mop with the other. He sighs a little dramatically. ]
Yeah. Okay. Great. Here we are.
3. Locked to Lucifer - March 11th
[As Theo's first month with a warden winds down, he's starting to feel completely and thoroughly Done with a capital D when it comes to their daily therapy sessions. He can only be avoidant, hostile and cagey for so long.
Every day at every moment on the Peregrine, he's reminded of what he's done, of why he's here, resentful of being alive again and being on this ship. He hates it, and he can't get away from it.
When Lucifer knocks on his door today, he doesn't get the usual responses like a groan, or being told to go away. Theo is in there, but he doesn't respond at all. He's lying in his bed, back to the room. When Lucifer opens the door, Theo's response is a pillow over his head as he avoids looking at his warden. His muffled voice lacks its usual bite.]
I'm not talking today. I'm done.

Dude, you should do it. Make it a whole heist thing. I'll let you know how I'm feeling closer, though, I don't wanna escape onto some boring-ass planet with fishwives just to get stuck there. The first time was crazy enough.

[He runs a hand through his hair nervously.] I can hand out clippings the night before we land. Then as we're getting ready to disembark, use it. With some of them, we might not have long, so we have to move fast. [What happens when you use this on the Devil? Only one way to find out.]
So. Are you in?
no subject
Who else is in?

I, uh. I'm still in the planning process here. No one's committed to anything yet.
[That is to say, no one yet.]
That's why I need people to agree to this already! We don't know when we could be landing next. Could be months from now, could be next week.
no subject
[Despite that, he is markedly not sure.]
Well, let me know when we get closer to the big day. If you've got some cool people around who can make this shit happen and won't just fuck it up like some people [Rhys] then I might be interested.

If they announce ahead of time the name of the next stop, I'm going to research it in the library. So even if they drop us off somewhere in a place that seems empty, there might be some city nearby we can travel to. Or something. Cuz they may not ever want to bring us all to some place really populated - too easy to lose track of us.
[He knows he's rambling, or at least he feels like he is, so he'll wrap it up. Considering most interactions he's gotten from Travis were akin to bullying in Theo's eyes, he doesn't want to drag this on too long anyway.]
In summary, I guess, start saving supplies now. However that can be done.
