TIME: Day 1 Evening: 6 hours after Meeting with the Inquisitor Ends, 1.5 hours after launch.All three parts of the table have been elevated from the floor of the crew lounge area to a height of about two feet. Pillows have been extracted from the wall cabinets to set places around the table for a meal. On the counter to the side, the rice cooker is full and steaming with hot rice. Steamed Edamame has been prepared in pod with salt in one bowl. A simple stirfry of sliced mushrooms, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, and water-chestnuts has been made in an ancient steel wok that is still out. And a whole fish of medium size, bisected and deboned in two fillets, has been roasted in its skin and set out for everyone to be able to get at least a small portion. Tea cups, serving for tea or sake, are on the table, as is one large bottle of sake. Plates are stacked at the end. Bring your own chopsticks. When the roasted fish is about to come out of the pan, Shinwa calls to the Kakashi the Shiba Inu who hangs near. "Can you fetch everyone to eat?" The meal looks tasty enough, all things considered, though this is simple fare. [OOC: Made TN of 15+5, but just barely. The food is simple and fortunately timeless, though the seasoning is not necessarily to modern tastes. Not enough corn syrup, probably.]

Nanashi was in his room repairing the blender when a distinct bark is heard from his door. Not the other side but the door itself.
"Be right there."
Nanashi puts the parts down and cools the soldering iron. He washes his hands in in the basin and throws his googles on the table before joining the others for dinner.

Kakashi shuffles about the ship, complying with his master's command. After pretending to be Nanashi's door, he continues on down the starboard side of the ship to be efficient, arriving at the Hida's new abode.
"Woof!" he says (not barks), sticking his fluffy head through the shoji screen at standing-human-head level. "Dinner is ready, Crabby. What's your real name, anyway, like, what would you prefer I call you?"
His tongue sticks out as Kakashi begins to pant cutely.

Shinwa's hand brushes the rice cooker while he's dishing out the rice, and it makes a quick FFTSSSZZZ sound and shuts down. All the lights on the machine turn off.
He glares at it.
It does not glare back.
Shinwa closes the lid and hopes the rice does not get cold.

Kiru enters from the bridge in time to see the malfunction, and he sighs. "Wouldn't be a normal trip without something like that happening, ne?" He strides over to the rice cooker, squeaks something under his breath and pokes it. A moment later, it is good as new, and the starch stain put there a week ago is gone, too. The tingling up Shinwa's spine lasts no longer than the time it takes Kiru to sit down at the head of the table and scoop Rik out of his scarf, placing the sugar glider down beside his teacup. "Tea please," Rik asks, and Kiru takes his time in complying, because the leaves have not had enough time to steep as yet. Soon, though, they are both drinking out of the same cup, taking turns. (OOC: seems orokos loves the Shaman! TN 15 due to a raise, hit over 40 for the second time in 24 hours! orokos.com/roll/524477 )

"Glad you took care of it this time, captain, I was just going to hit it and see it that worked."
Nanashi takes some plates and places them out on the table for everyone.

"Did Kiru hear something earlier about the blender?" M'thack-kir asks, pointedly avoiding looking in Shinwa's direction. "Kiru would rather get everything fixed now, so Kiru's attention can be focused tomorrow."

Kakashi shuffles about the ship, complying with his master's command. After pretending to be Nanashi's door, he continues on down the starboard side of the ship to be efficient, arriving at the Hida's new abode. "Woof!" he says (not barks), sticking his fluffy head through the shoji screen at standing-human-head level. "Dinner is ready, Crabby. What's your real name, anyway, like, what would you prefer I call you?" His tongue sticks out as Kakashi begins to pant cutely. "I have a name," said Tetsuko, putting her magazine down. "But Hida-sama will do for you, Inu-san." She stepped out from behind the shoji screen and headed for the galley, smiling once she thought the dog couldn't see her. She like dogs, but wasn't prepared for this. She sat down at the table on the crew lounge, she had changed from the gaudy Ikoma Tamiyo kimono into something more nondescript and drab. The stir fry looked good, and as for the sake, well, that could wait until later. Once she had a bowl of food, she held it close to her chin and ate quickly with her bamboo chopsticks. When it was half empty she put the bowl down and poured herself some tea. She looked around the table at the others, they weren't all gathered yet but when they were she would let them know her news.

"Itsuki! Food!"
"Hai, arigatou Kakashi. Please make sure to be polite to our guests, okay?"
"..." Kakashi zooms off to find the Crane, giving a friendly yap before saying in a high pitched voice, "Dinner is ready, if you'll head to the lounge, past the bridge."
Finally, the spectral Shiba Inu locates the Ikoma, who is presumably aboard The Warren by now with his fighter docked to the ship. There is a knock on the door of Shiba Itsuki's and Ikoma Dorai's combined quarters, before the door slides open. "I'm not welcome in there, Itsuki made it so after I trashed his favourite painting. I think it might have been one he made personally...anyway! Dinner is ready, if you'll join the others, Mister Lion." The dog winks at Dorai before literally disappearing into thin air.

"Did Kiru hear something earlier about the blender?" M'thack-kir asks, pointedly avoiding looking in Shinwa's direction. "Kiru would rather get everything fixed now, so Kiru's attention can be focused tomorrow." "I think I broke it the blender this time." Nanashi lied. "So I'm almost done fixing it. It needed a new motor anyway." Nanashi grabs himself a bit of everything and takes a seat. "I've been working on that new kit I bought in town. It's not perfect but with some modifications I think I can get it to work for Kiba." When the Hida enters Nanashi gives her a small nod of acknowledgement. Nanashi on a normal day, out and about, is rather covered up, especially for a Dragon. His normal outfit is his Dragon armor under a big Plastilk duster and a large hat to cover his head. But now he is relaxed and the change is noticeable. He isn't wearing anything on his feet and the fisherman pants he is wearing stop before the ankles. His cotton kimono jacket looks rather patchwork at the end of the sleeves and he appears to have forgotten to put a shirt on underneath. If this bothers anyone, Nanashi doesn't seem to notice.

Shinwa hangs his head as he serves himself up a plate. It is probably because of the way the goldfish is staring at him while he serves himself some of the pan-seared fish...that would make anyone feel guilty. But in any event he says, "You don't have to fix it right away. Sometimes..." Usually "...things get better on its own. Though I suppose that could have been a short." He looks up somewhat defensively. "I know how to cook rice in the wok too, you know."
He settles down at the table.
He is not wearing his trenchcoat now, either...simply dressed in a plain gray gi. He pulls out a pair of finely lacquered chopsticks and begins to eat.

Kiru, on the other hand, is dressed in his best, including the plates of ashigaru armour strapped tightly over his clothing. If one were to look at a specific point on one of the plates for too long, they begin to shimmer softly, like luminous mushrooms.
"Wasn't making a judgment, just a request. Broken things have broken Name, and it is humiliating to be surrounded by broken Name when trying to earn the right to become a Transcendent."
Itsuki clears his throat and bows low to the head of the table as he arrives, wearing his normal silk kimono. Despite being on duty as a pilot for years on end, the Shiba shugenja has always forgone the option of a flight suit or modern clothes for travel. He takes his traditional place beside M'thack-kir and retrieves a lacquered box from his sleeve, handing one of the two pairs of chopsticks to the captain and readying the other for himself. Evidently the captain and Itsuki always eat together.

"It will be fixed right after dinner. And it shouldn't have any problems crushing ice. Found a better, smaller motor at a shop. Once I'm done I'll bet it could blend a rock snake. Ha."
Nanashi munches on some fish and veg. "And I should be finished modifying this kit before we get to, where it was we are going."

Shinwa nods at Nanashi's words about Kiba. "Kiru-san...I sent up the supplies for the Camel. I think there is room for the new unit if we replace the extra cargo space. Nananshi-san...will the modifications allow Kiba freedom on the waters? If we take the Camel, Kiba, the Warren, and Dorai-sama's ship, we should be able to make a pretty decent visual scan of the surface and be able to investigate all the anomalies within a day or two."

"So this should allow me to back the bike into this and it would allow me to drive her on the water like a jet ski. She will be a little slower but she should float."
Nanashi drains his cup. "I can work on the mods to the Camel in the morning. But I'll need an extra set of hands. Shouldn't take to long."
