Hey, you two! I know that fall outs happen and can be tough sometimes, but you do not have to leave a roleplay because of it. Especially if you do not want to.

Both of you have wonderful and beautiful characters that are lovely to interact with. I wouldn't want either of you leaving, so I can say. If one, two, or neither of you stay. I will miss you both and hope to meet you again.

I'll still @ you in this post I just made, Heavy Metal, so if you do change your mind. You're still welcomed here.

Cool, cool. That's always good for others to at least have a little bit of experience.

Apple DeBaker nodded to Dalkalo's words, she understood, but she understood that some people got more emotional than need be in smaller spaces. Stretching out while sitting on the chair, she kept her eyes on the man while he spoke, and she kept a faint smile on her face, "I think you two will figure it out or you won't; either way, what happens, happens." She commented with a low confident tone while looking around.

She wasn't going to wait much longer on a pilot to show up, she was hoping one did, but she wouldn't fret about it too much. A little longer she thought to herself while looking around the room.

Deciding to pop the question right off, she glanced at the crew that is already there, "So..." Starting off not very strong, "Does anybody else know how to fly a ship? Just curious."

@Smiter19 It would not be the worst idea! Lol. It could be funny. I could have my character know how to pilot for the time being if that is necessary? I feel like Captain's would at least know how to pilot a ship to a point where it's stable enough to go.

Raising a brow while the other began to talk, Dalkalo, seemed to be very blunt and straightforward when it came to how he felt about Ryker. Rolling her eyes, everyone seemed to not mind each other at all or be at each other's throats; an average stance in a crew.

April spoke up and seemed to be trying to get the situation to die down between the two men. Apple DeBaker parted her lips and reached for Dalkalo for a second while he walked away. She seemed to want to comfort him or figure out the situation some more, but she instantly crossed her arms and gave Ryker a glare.

“General Patterson?” Question in a tone of voice that showed she might not even care for the title nor the name. Grabbing the envelope without a second thought, she began to open it, and glanced up at Ryker while she did.

Her expression seemed to stay neutral when Ryker spoke and she read the letter. The whole conflict between Dalkalo and Ryker was an interesting one, but she didn’t want any terrible incidents happening between crewmates.

“In all honesty, Mr.Ryker. I could care less what this letter has to say and I can say that the ship probably doesn’t need you.” Speaking firmly when it came to the man. She wasn’t being disrespectful nor trying to be rude, but she was trying to be realistic in this sense, “If you have one chance here, you have one chance on this ship, Mr.Ryker. I hope you understand that. I do not want any accidents happening between you or Mr.Dalkalo; there will be consequences if there is.” Captain DeBaker was hoping her words would make it clear that she was not going to tolerate heavy occurrences.

Most would probably shew the man away, but she wasn't too cold in the heart.“One chance, Mr.Ryker.” Apple DeBaker added emphasis on her stance of where Ryker would be in her mind. She did not want any foul play and she would keep an eye on both Ryker and Dalkalo from now on. In all honesty, DeBakers approach was rough and cold, but she did not have any hard feelings towards Ryker; she just wanted to make herself clear to him.

After making herself clear, she began to fold the envelope and it's content into her pocket. She would keep it for now, and she went back to sit on the chair she was originally on. The woman was in need of a pilot, but she could honestly try and get the ship out of impound. Would they let her? Who knows till she tries.

@Smiter19 Explanation or not, I think it cleared it up for anybody that wasn't thinking of Dalkalo's past experience; plus it makes the story more interesting so why not? It fit the narrative quite nicely in my mind.

I do agree, I do not mind giving anybody the time they need. Real life comes first especially in hard times. Feel better @Sylvan!!!

Over the years, Apple DeBaker learned to not be offended when people assumed she was a male captain. At first she minded somewhat, but who she was now could care less or at least poke some fun about it. Chuckling when the male, Ryker, swallowed hard and instantly begged for forgiveness.

His reaction caused her to wave her hand in a sense of saying, it doesn’t actually matter, but she seemed to keep that warm smile on her face. A captain that still had positivity written over her; that’s how most could tell a captain was young, inexperienced, or both.

“You’re completely fine. I could care less about what you refer to me as, though I do prefer my name or title Captain.” She added her preferences, but she has been called so many different things over the years that a pronoun wasn’t going to hurt.

Raising a brow when the individual stated they were reporting for duty, she leaned on her hip, “What duty are you reporting for? Are you asking to come aboard as crew?” Apple questioned while staring right into the man’s eyes. She was trying to figure him out, he seemed to be sometype of trained individual or at least thought he was.
Saluting and switching attitude right away when it came to who was in charge and everything, Ryker was appearing military to the young captain.

I was waiting for a few people to post before I posted again! I hope it is good.

Captain DeBaker gave Dalkalo a warm smile, she was glad that so many different individuals showed up to try and get aboard this ghost ship. Anybody would notice the out of place crew, they all had their stereotypical standout careers somewhere on them. Everyone was accounted for except a pilot and DeBaker looked around, hoping somebody in the more than not crowded room would step up and prove that they were a worthy pilot, “I’m glad to hear.” She gave April a smile.

Glancing over her shoulder towards the crew, she felt like it was going to be a trip finding a pilot now. Was that a bad thing? No, not at all. It was just going to delay and maybe cause some stress for Apple DeBaker; she was on a time limit after all.

Noticing Dalkalo and another that introduced themselves as Carl Ryker, they seemed to know each other, and she wasn’t getting the best vibe from in between the two. On average most people were sarcastic and quick with words even if they were not the best, Carl Ryker was definitely assuming that Apple DeBaker was her father or a male. Not the first time this has happened and it wouldn’t be the last time.

She stood up for this one and smiled at Carl Ryker, “Can a Captain not be a woman?” She raised a brow with a smirk on her face. She wanted to see how the individual would react, she liked to research people when it came to how they were. Her arms were crossed, naturally, she kept a distance from most even if she considered them a friend.
