(I probably don't have to say it, but to be very clear Maggie wasn't involved in any of this.)

King's Menace was younger and more interested in the animal experiences of their passengers, and with Gideon being such a whore for novelty and also a whore in general King probably got directly involved in his debauchery frequently. They were a lot more generically harsh than Noon is, to match the old crew also being run by someone more cruel and careless, so unless they were directly asked by someone on the crew to ignore them they'd usually Intervene in some capacity just out of curiosity for what might happen; messing with the lighting or the air quality, fucking with the physics in the room or the surfaces, MAYBE directly interacting with bodies but that might have been reserved for Gideon because he was sturdier and they could communicate better before he got really hurt. King absolutely scared some of Crow's dates out of the house though. I think Jo and Raven opted to be left alone for their sappy married mage sex, but I genuinely can't decide whether I like the idea of them partying with everybody else or being so arrogant and focused on each other they wouldn't care for it. Dealer's choice.

Noon is wayyyy more mellowed out and any raw curiosity for this has almost certainly been sated already, and also their feelings got hurt and they're really grateful to just be sailing with anybody again. They're much more considerate with our guys. Our guys are also generally having less sex lmao. Especially right now while it's still early, Noon probably sees themself out if they can tell it would be appreciated, or they at least don't do anything to remind anyone that something might be observing. Lucky Noon is a lot more Above our crew than King was with theirs and doesn't really feel interested in pushing anybody yet besides Phineas, and even then they can tell she's early in her arc still. Currently they're sort of letting her come to them at her own pace, which she is, although so far it's mostly relegated to weird commander sex again rather than too much physical stuff. They like her though and whenever it does eventually come up it'll probably be fun for both of them. They do have a little bit of a fascination with picking on Ulrich, which I think has some fun potential, but right now Noon is kind of waiting for everybody to get settled into their own relationships before adding themself to the pot. The old guard had all their dynamics well figured out by the time they got the ship so it was easier to just fill in the gaps.

there was zero sex happening on artemis ascending so we're skipping them lol
