Yeah, you can assume that if she says she's ready, Drei would take the ship up to space :)

There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Hobbies: Writing, fitness, driving/exploring, hiking, camping, traveling, tabletop games, anything NEW (I love trying things I've never done before)
Roleplayer Profile
Format: 1x1s only. Maybe I'll try a group RP again someday, but I've never had one last longer than a few months
Posting Speed: Depending on my schedule, I can usually post at least once per week
Favorite Genres: Modern, Historical, Romance, Action/Adventure, Horror/Dark, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Dystopian, can be convinced to write some Sci-Fi
Hard 'no's: Fandoms. Sorry, but I can't maintain interest in characters/worlds I didn't build with my partner
Template: Public threads or PMs. I prefer to keep all my RPs in one place, so no emails or G-docs or the like
Rating: Comfortable with 18+ content, but it's not a necessity and I prefer not to center a plot around explicit scenes

Character preference: One main character, but large side casts are greatly enjoyed. Because I write long posts, I prefer not to double
Gender preference: Male. You'll be hard pressed to convince me to play a female that isn't a background character. It's just not my forte
Romantic Relationships: MxF or MxM (currently prefer MxM)
Character Images: Faceclaims or detailed descriptions only. I envision the characters like real people in my mind, so I can't take anime seriously
OOC chat: Yes please! I'm a total extrovert who loves to get to know the amazing minds behind my partners' characters

I'm recruiting friends to help xD I offered to buy them dinner if they come over to clean with me before the cabinets are put in. So far I've got at least one person who's gonna be there, and my husband might be able to help too if he gets off work on time.
But yeah, the sellers were the actual worst. They refused to pay for anything that came up during the inspection, didn't treat for pests or yard work when we asked them to, never gave us the keys to the mailbox (I had to have new ones printed), and now apparently lied about not having mice or rats. It's been an adventure.

Yeah, the sellers lied about not having any pest issues. We know that they knew about the mice because there was also steel wool put down behind the cabinets to try to keep the mice from getting in. I took photos of it because we can pursue legal action against them for not telling us about the issue when they were aware it existed. I have pest control coming out tomorrow to look at it too and figure out if it's an existing infestation or one that was taken care of already and the droppings were just never cleaned up. I'm hoping it's just leftover mess, but we'll find out for sure tomorrow. Either way, it's gonna be a bitch to clean up, and I have to get rid of it all tomorrow before the new cabinets are installed.
It shouldn't affect when we move in. The installs are all still on schedule. I just have to make sure we stay on top of this pest issue if we do still have mice because if we let it go, it'll be an even bigger problem.

That works out great then, haha. We just tore out the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom today and had the lovely discovery of finding a mouse infestation, so I'm gonna be dealing with that on top of getting the remodels scheduled/completed and dealing with family crap ^^; Things are gonna be super busy on my end for a while.
“I think it was made for that,” Azdrei’in mused when Artemis compared his ship to something called a ‘pod.’ He didn’t understand every word she used, but it sounded like she had just described the purpose of the Yihai, of which he was a member. To clear up the communication barrier, he telepathically showed her his memory of the day before, when he’d flown his ship down to the Earth with the rest of the vanguard. All of them piloted individual crafts that they had flown to different parts of the planet to explore and scout out threats that they would need to eradicate before the rest of their people landed.
As Artemis obliged his request and sat in his lap, he had to take a slow breath to keep his composure. He’d planned to keep some distance between them to curb the odd attraction he was starting to notice he had toward her, but that was impossible to do when there was only one seat in the spaceship, and he needed to sit in it to pilot the vehicle. She had never left the earth before, so he wasn’t cruel enough to tell her to sit on the floor either. For a first flight, it was better for her to be secured in place, so she wouldn’t accidentally injure herself when the ship punched through the atmosphere.
Still, despite the logic of it, he couldn’t help but notice the warmth and pressure of her body against his, the softness of her skin and even her faint earthy but feminine scent. The sensations were almost distracting, and it took a moment for him to regain his focus enough to realize that she had asked him a question. “Maybe,” he replied, trying to ignore the resonation of her rapidly beating heart—it seemed that humans only had one—and the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. “But try not to. You are sitting on me, and I will not like it if you get sick here.” A slight smile played on his lip, and he reached out to operate the controls that powered on the ship. It was more difficult to express humor in a language that he barely had a basic grasp of, but he tried anyway, if only for the sake of thinking about something over than the fact that she was in his lap.
With a few deft movements, he threw the craft into drive, and the dull hum that had permeated the space grew louder. “Earth is beautiful,” he agreed as she told him about some more places on the planet. “My people are excited to live here. It is like our home, Ashad’te, only… there is less light at night.” Lacking the word to explain bioluminescence, he substituted the thought by showing her another mental image of the Lunvalgans’ planet at night and raised one of his arms in a tactile explanation. The swirling patterns on his skin also glowed a dim white in the darkness of his ship. “It is not easy for me to hunt here. Prey animals see me before I can get close to them.” He’d found that out the night before when he’d realized that the plants and animals on the Earth didn’t luminesce in the dark. Fortunately, there was a simple solution to the problem though. He could just wear clothes that covered more of his skin the next time he attempted to catch his own food.
Monitoring the gauges on the control panel, he waited until the craft stabilized and then steadily eased it into a low hover above the ground. When he was alone, he took off faster, but since Artemis had never experienced this before, he took each step one by one to make it easier for her to adjust to the sensations. First, the ship rose smoothly, just enough for the landing gear to tuck away in its compartment of the belly of the craft. Once that was done, he steered it higher at a forward diagonal until they rose above the tallest buildings around them. The window in the front was slightly tinted against the light but was fully translucent, so they could both see outside as they climbed higher.
“We will go up to space next,” he warned her as the ship hovered over the ruins, adjusting dials and buttons and other controls to ready the ship for the task of pushing through the atmosphere. “How are you feeling now? Are you ready to go on?” He glanced at her, wanting to make sure that she could handle the jump first. She had been excited to leave the earth not long ago, but if she was starting to lose confidence, it was better to know up front rather than find out when they went up into space and she passed out under the force of the pressure and the panic.

Sounds good! It'll be fun to write out everything that happens while they're on the ship. I'm thinking the first day will mostly be the time they take to settle in, and maybe Artemis will meet some of the other aliens that have taken interest in her.
Sorry that took so long! The weekend was wild, so I only just caught up on posts today. I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next couple weeks too because the remodels are getting done and we're finally moving in!
“There better be, or I’m paying way too much for this suite,” Cas quipped, smiling at Iris playfully as he felt her lace her fingers with his. He climbed down from the bed after she did and ambled over to the duffle bag he’d brought with him from the royal family’s estate. What his father had arranged for him to pack to take to Eternity Meadows had become a perfect getaway bag with more than enough changes of clothes, toiletries and other essential items to last him for as long as he needed to stay at the Sunset Veil. It was an ironic twist, but it worked out in his favor, since it had allowed him to walk right out of the mansion with a veritable suitcase in hand, and not a single guard had raised an eyebrow.
Digging through the duffle, he found clean underwear, a pair of beige shorts and a dark green shirt with shallow V-neck and put all of them on. He also made a halfhearted effort to straighten out his hair with his fingers, just so he wouldn’t look thoroughly wild before he took a shower later. Once he’d found his way back to a civilized appearance, he headed downstairs with Iris to look over the menu in the kitchen, eager to browse the breakfast selections. Even though he’d had a big dinner the night before, all the ‘exercise’ they had been doing had left him feeling famished after he’d woken up again in the morning.
While Iris opened the menu pamphlet, Cas stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, looking at the pages with her over her shoulder. “There’s not too much risk if you try something new,” he nodded, pressing a kiss to her neck. “Most breakfast foods are made with a lot of the same ingredients. They’re just prepared differently depending on the dish.” As he spoke, he eyed a few different options, all of which included some sort of variation of eggs and meat or pancakes with different kinds of toppings. Already, his mouth watered at the thought of fresh, hot food, and he settled on a menu item that looked especially good to him.
“Can’t go wrong with an omelette,” he agreed. “I think I’ll get the eggs benedict. I’ve got an inexplicable taste for hollandaise sauce this morning that needs to be satisfied.” With their selections fresh in his mind, he let him arms fall from around her and headed over to the phone to call the order in to the restaurant. Once that was done, he sat down heavily on the sofa and gestured for her to come join him. “What do you want to do while we wait for the food to get here?” he asked. “This was so last minute that I didn’t bring a whole lot to do… We’ve mostly just got the TV and each other for entertainment, since it would probably be a bad idea to leave the room. It’s too bad because I saw that this resort has some really cool stuff on their website. Spa treatments, a pool, a billiards room, and things like that.”

Sorry that one took a while! This weekend was insanely busy between getting things done for our upcoming move and seeing friends, so I wasn't writing a whole lot.
