Hello, passengers! Today begins just like normal, but it’s far from an ordinary day. On this fine point in space-time, passengers will notice a little something different when it comes to the glyphs marked on the backs of their hands.

They're glowing. The light is a deep shade of blue, and it's slowly blinking on and off. Maybe it's searching for something? It's entirely possible, because affected passengers will also feel a gentle tugging sensation that stops once they've come face to face with their partners. The glyph will switch to glowing a steady blue once partners are synced with each other, and they'll be able to communicate telepathically with each other, too.

Have fun getting to know each other a little better! Or, you know. Yelling at each other. Just try to keep the murder to a minimum, OK?

After he's finished eating pancakes, the tug of the glyph seems to be more insistent - or maybe it's just because the hunger pangs aren't on his mind anymore - so he takes to wandering around the ship in search of whatever might be trying to lure him. He's a little suspicious of it, truth be told, but he doesn't seem to be the only one affected which is at least marginally reassuring.

He'll happily stop to talk to anybody he runs into, just in case they know any more about what's going on than he does, and because he wasn't wrong in what he said to Max - he should start making at least acquaintances if he was going to be stuck with these people. He isn't intending on letting anybody get all that close, but shallow and personable? That he can do.

It's too cliche, really. Two people rounding the same corner from opposing sides, nearly careening into each other due to one or both parties' negligence of checking their surroundings, likely preoccupied by something else.

In this case, Martin's glued to the blinking mark on his hand, trying to hone in on where it's leading him. When he nearly collides with another person, he jumps back in alarm with a stifled yelp, his glasses tilting noticeably askew, before he settles and readjusts them.

"Wow, I'm really sorry-- I wasn't. I, um. This sounds bad, but I wasn't looking. Sorry."

Isaac couldn't help being somewhat fascinated by the ship, it was like no technology he'd ever seen before and he desperately wanted to learn all he could about it - unfortunately that meant he occasionally got a little bit distracted by certain features and didn't always look where he was going.

Meaning, of course, that he's just as preoccupied as Martin when he nears the corner and isn't paying attention to his surroundings - luckily they both step back before a crash actually happens, but it's a close thing, and Isaac moves so quickly he has to stick his hand out to steady himself against the wall.

When the apology comes, he can't help but laugh.

"I was about to say the same thing. Don't worry about it."

Julia isn't entirely a huge fan of this whole being led around nonsense. Or, honestly this whole being on a ship bullshit either. But she's padding around the hallways barefoot, because fuck it if this is home then she's going barefoot. Tugging on the sleeve of her oversized black sweater, the blond just scowls at the glyph with the flashing lights on it.

"Oh good. I'm apparently bluetooth?" The words are a sneer, and Julia is just staring down at her hand when the glyph glows solid. Honestly, she's not sure if she's talking aloud or thinking it when she responds with: "oh what the fuck?!"

Isaac turns a corner and all of a sudden that tugging feeling that's been bothering him all morning just vanishes out of nowhere. He's bemused, until the sound of an irritated exclamation catches his attention and he looks up to see a woman just a few feet away from him, looking down at her hand. Her glyph appears to be glowing solid, which is odd because so far everybody else's seems to have been blinking, including his own which-

Which is now also glowing solid, he realises as he glances down at it.

"...Yea I'm gonna go with what the fuck too." he agrees in a bemused tone, looking back up at her "Did yours just stop flashing too?"

[relance]

Well. Fuck me running, I guess.

[Julia just lets out a long and dramatic sigh because the last time she got attatched to someone it literally was almost the end of the world and that’s not an experience that Julia has any intention of repeating ever again, thank you very much. Still, she just studies him, her baby blues sizing him up in an obvious fashion before she smiles a little thinly.]

So who the hell are you then?

[waxenwing]

You seem like you know what this means...

[It clearly means something, and it's something to do with the two of them, but whatever it is Isaac's missed the memo and he really hopes she can fill him in - or at least get him slightly closer. Still, there are worse people to run into, she's pretty and Isaac's an incorrigible flirt, so he returns her smile with a much wider one of his own]

Isaac, it's nice to meet you, and you are...?
