"Alright..." Chidori stepped up to the podium, standing up straight and tall. "Now, I see the looks of regret and disappointment on your faces... But we must remember, from this... We must grow stronger, as individuals... As a team, or even some day, a family. What happened today, was a signal to us, a warning. It showed that we have a while yet before we may reach the high standards that the crews before us have set... But, as long as we take the steps to achieve this, we'll be sure to meet those standards in no time."

Irvin does a mock salute after Chidori finishses her speech. "Now, when will we be leavin'?"

"And I promise to lower the volume on my music so I can actually hear stuff."

"Good."

Aniele steps off of her stage.

"Joker, set a course to the first pick-up. And wire some money to the old, crew, please, for their help."

The ship begins moving.

Chidori nodded and walked away from the podium, she waved to the group, the sad look returning to her eyes as she saw her speech had little to no impact on the group. She sighed as she trudged back to her room, fiddling with her bag. Once she reached said area, she entered, closed the door, curled up on her bed, and began to read, yet was still lost in thought at the same time, sorting through her feelings.

Jack left the room, whistling the tune to an old song as he went back into his room. He supposed he could stay here and chill for the whole day, maybe use some of the items he has. But seeing that Chidori looked quite crestfallen, he decided to get off of his lazy bum and bring all of his books to her room.

When he got there, he knocked on her door three times, only lightly so that she wouldn't think it was an emergency or something.

Dante left the hall and start going to his room without bothering rest of crew.

"Come in." Chidori shouted as the door slid open. It would reveal a room that was accompanied with a pretty empty bookshelf aside from two books, a desk and stool, a chest assumingly for anything else she brought, and of course, a bed, which the owner of the room, who happened to be Chidori, sat on. She looked up from her book to Jack. "Yes?"

"Here." Jack said as he knelt down and lay all of the books he mentioned earlier unto the floor.
"I thought you might like these."

"O-Oh!" Chidori set her book down and jumped off the bed. She then crouched down beside Jack and began to pick up the books. "Thank you so much for letting me read them! I'll definitely try to get them back to you as soon as possible!" A smile was largely evident on her features as she glanced at the man beside her with eyes that shimmered from happiness.

"Go kid. Do whatever you like, the universe lacks cheery people like you. The other ones are too annoying for my taste." he said with a smile, patting her head before leaving the room and entering into his own bedroom, proceeding to memorize theship's coordinates to make the use of his teleportation device easier in the meantime until they were called..

'D-Did he just... Ohmygod, hejustcomplimentedme.' Chidori blushed a little as she proceeded to put the books on her shelf. examining them as she did so. "W-Wow... S-So many books..." Chidori smiled wider and giggled, before somehow, she accidentally cut her finger on a page. "Ow!" She then proceeded to put said finger in her mouth to stop the bleeding.

Welp, Chidori would be sitting on her bed, reading a book with great intrigue. She wore a simple white gown as it was pretty much nightime for her. She sighed as she turned the page, her eyes dull. She missed home greatly now that she came to think of it, the shoes she had to fill weren't as big there as they were here, but, that's the fun she guessed.

(This roleplay went pretty quick dead .-.)
