Ethan dream, kiss chase in space

[beccaelizabeth]

Had a dream with Ethan in, which is always fun. Also it had a living ship, a singing ship, a bit like Moya from Farscape, but full of aristocrats and dancing and a military presence and a portable civilization. And while it did have a Pilot, I also had an empathic connection to it. And to Ethan. Who nicked a shuttle (which was like a mini Moya, too small to need a Pilot yet, but very elegant) and ran away, after getting me to jump us somewhere I think. And then he kept on jumping. He tried to lose us by jumping too close to a Sol type star, or at least too close for our vessel. He would have taken less damage. But my connection to him was such that it took me less than a second to feel where he'd jumped next, and we went as quick as could be. Once in the new place we had to dump some cargo, Left Luggage (all the left behind bits) and some of the less useful Luggage (belonging to all sorts of people). So I figured, with all that I could make a trap. So it got dropped and fell to a planet, in seed pod type things I think. And we followed in the other shuttle, me in charge, but with a bunch of military types there. I didnt have enough rank to be in charge in the normal way but everyone called me 'sir' and I was the boss of the plan. And sure enough once the big ship left Ethan came back to pick up the pretties.

He brought some Klingons as his crew.
To get away from them I had to spin a tale about the planet giving off a hallucinogenic gas. It showed everyone their own worst fear, or greatest humiliation (because using the f word to klingons, not so very much a good idea).
Someone pointed out I'd got no head bumpies.
Oh noes! Worst fear! They must have never grown! *gulp*
Why next thing they'd say I wasn't in uniform.
'Well, not the right uniform'
eeps! *hides, mortified*
(and doesn't get pulled apart by klingons that no longer know if they're hallucinating or not)
(that was funny)

So I get to Ethan again and its a grand and romantic reunion. He thought he was just conning me out of a shuttle, but I decided it was romantic, so he was stuck with me. Which had definite benefits.

Happy ending, ish.
When we got back to the living ship poor thing had blisters on its outsides. And then poor Ethan did too, since he'd put them there. Only it took Ethan longer to repair, and he was worse hurt.


There was also a whole sequence where the living ship became convinced that the whole kiss-and-run thing was an obscure part of the human mating ritual. Usually they just did it down the corridors, but being exceptional humans me and Ethan did things on a grand scale. This made the ship more forgiving than it otherwise might be, since mating was a complex and nigh uncontrollable situation for them.


Lots of fun that dream. I'm all smiles now.
