I can and I will

- being an aircraft carrier, the vat was not originally outfitted for longterm living, let alone for the hundreds now inhabiting the ship

- which means whenever the astronauts have to bunk on the vat, they have no choice but to dorm together

- they learn that Grace has his own private bedroom and get really annoyed

- Yáo: youre telling me I put up with Martin's snoring for no reason

- M: oh like you're any better, atleast Annie appreciates me

- Ily: no, actually, when it's really bad she crawls into my bed, she doesn't even bother to climb the ladder

- meanwhile Grace is trying to defend his little shoebox of a room (no matter what he says, its clear Stratt gives him extra privileges)

- Eva, of course, is the only one to have both a private room and bathroom

- Annie and Olesya find out and start using her bathroom cause no way are they using the communal ones

- okay technically the astronauts have their own sectioned off part of the bathrooms, but why use that when they could bother their dear leader

- which also means that Eva now has to vie for her own sink space

- Olesya has a cute picture of the three of them brushing their teeth together (Eva by the sink, Annie sitting on the floor, while she's strewn across her bed)

- the three of them also get ready for galas and dinners together

- Eva is insistent she can do her own makeup, but she always goes for more reserved looks

- and it takes the other two to convince her to do more bolder looks (aka they do her makeup for her)

- Eva would never admit it, but she enjoys their company

- she also grows closer bonds with Lamai and Lokken

- aside from Grace, Lamai is the only other person who can coax/threaten Eva to take a break (doctor's orders and all)

- Lamai becomes Big Pharma

- she is always amused hearing of Lokken and Grace's arguments, even if she never fully follows along

- sometimes, for spite (and fun), Eva would hint at siding with Lokken in front of Ryland (she won't hear the end of his ranting for the rest of the evening)

- post launch, Lokken and Lamai are the ones who visit her the most in jail (the vatlings draw straws to decide, but they always cheat)

- one gala night, some rando man was being misogynistic towards her astronauts, and Eva does not play about her ladies

Grace looking at the camera confused while the core time circle around him like the one girl surrounded by five guys meme

Stratt reclined on a couch looking demure with a coffee mug and using Grace's legs as a lap board for her tablet. Grace is dead asleep, obviously snoring with his mouth wide open and covered in reports. His glasses are on Stratt's head.

Carl walking by the camera with Grace thrown over his shoulder. Grace is visibly pleased and yapping.

Leclerc looking upset and holding a penguin plushy.

she kind of looks down and nods to herself, like yeah, he’s running. Of course he’s running.

She knows him too well to have believed fully that he wouldn’t run, but some selfish part of her still hoped that he would go willingly. That he wouldn’t make this harder. That she wouldn’t need to have his blood on her hands.

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

At least I never have to hear you say I told you so, even though you were right

Mom said it's my turn to make a shitty Eridian OC.
