I for one like shoving all my ships together.

Something even more hilarious is I imagine when Im not activly playing with my dolls theyre in a hotel room waiting around for their next show/performance.

"And there was only one bed" but it's purgatory.

So heres Grace and Rocky sitting in the hotel room chatting. And suddenly, Stratt appears. Then Carl. A little later I drop Adrian in.

Stratt is still trying to figure out how to get out of this room- she cant. Its all locked and the windows are not real. Theres no way out.

"Not fun being locked in somewhere agasint your will, huh?" Grace says to her.

"Shut up, Ryland." She says, fidgeting with the door handle again, trying to shove a hairpin inside but the hairpin breaks.

Carl dosn't know what to do, but is internally screaming. "... My radio dosn't work.."

"Yup. Nothin does. We just wait for the hand." Grace has his feet on the coffee table, cross armed.

"What hand?"

"Big hand come and take Grace." Rock says, sitting on top of Adrian who dosn't seem phased.

"Or someone else gets trapped." Grace mutters.

"What??" Stratt asks.

Out of nowhere, a bloody guy is dropped from the ceiling.

He screams.

Everybody screams.

He screams again.

Sometimes if Im really bored ill open the door and let them explore the backrooms. So far Simon has fought the creature 2 times. Grace has died once, and stratt had the nerve to try and order it to go away.. in which it did.

"Go! Get! I do not have time for this! Excuse me?? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" While pointing- as if shooing away a dog.

Speaking of dogs, Laika was dropped in a couple of days ago, and she has taken a great liking to simon. Feliciette is here too but is mainly on carl or stratts' lap. Stratt says she hates her, but she does not shove her away.

I call them the #Gracecarecule, a queer platonic polycule of people who all care about Grace in different ways. Obviously excluding the dog and cat.

I believe that Adrian look the little nerd that Rocky was and they were like "Yep, that is the one" and then tried to flirt with him, but notice that Rocky was wired different. It didn't matter how much Adrian tried, Rocky didn't seem to notice their straight efforts; their sweet words, their little implications, not even the sexy poses worked (they try that a lot, they know how good-looking they are,okay? and there is nothing bad in taking advantage of that) always ending in conversations about the different things they could do with xenonite. And Adrian loves when Rocky talks so passionately even if they have no idea what they are saying half of the time, but they are trying to get to something else here.

In a changes of strategies Adrian, decides to be very subtle, leaving little clues and comments, here and there, and then Rocky starts thinking that the one with the idea of getting together is him.

Adrian would be the most happy eridian when Rocky ask him out for the first time (I picture both of them dancing too eridian music, but that is me), but they try to pretend a little of surprise, because they don't want Rocky to feel bad about not noticing they previous efforts. Rocky have hard time reading others sometimes and Adrian doesn't want to make him feel worse about it. So when they get together, Adrian lets Rocky say that he was the one to do the first move. Adrian doesn't mind, I mean, they won, so who cares?

Then, when Rocky tells his story with Adrian to Grace. He notices that in some of those memories, Adrian was clearly flirting, but for the way Rocky tells it, Grace knows that he didn't notice (Grace is oblivious about the flirt directed to him -CoughcoughLokkencoughcough-, but he really think he has a six sense for this things, he doesn't, it is just that Rocky and him are equally bad in this things), so curious he question Rocky how he new he liked Adrian in that way and Rocky says something like:

Rocky: "Oh, I just loved talking to them even then, you know, question? We would talk about xenonite for days and I would not even notice."

Grace: "I thought that Adrian was a zoologist."

Rocky: "Yes, they are, statement."

Grace: "Then what would they know about xenonite?"

Rocky: "Oh, they didn't speak a lot, I did the more conversation, but they were... always listening to me, like...like I was important even back then."

And Grace knows, he knows that Adrian was the first to fall and the first to make a move, and when they got to Erid, Grace asks them to confirm their suspicions. Adrian put him apart and in an intimidating voice they say: "That stays between you and I, got it, question? Rocky never knows, statement."

Now that we have discussed this: I would like you to imagine the first time after Rocky left for Tau Ceti that somebody has the gall to speak of Adrian and Not refer to them as “Rocky’s Adrian” when the context would make that the appropriate way to refer to them. Implying they’re available now.
