Who: Fitz & open
What: Getting the lay of the land
When: Early August
Where: around the Clipper
Warnings: tba if needed
Fitz is well aware that it says something about his lifestyle that the Clipper reminds him of several places he's ended up over the years. On the other hand, being chained in a dank basement would also remind him of many places he's been over the years, so he generally figures it's not worth thinking about. The familiarity isn't a good thing - and the lack of cigarettes, drinks or a fudging door just rub in a short list of what he hates about it. But it does stop any particular outbursts of anger. He's not resigned to it, so he keeps his cool.
For the most part, he goes through the motions of playing along. He slouches, half-asleep in the common room during singalong, wincing occasionally. He reads in an overly comfortable chair, trying not to roll his eyes too often at the content. He tries to find someone to sit with during meals, and even actually enjoys the bathhouse. But, while he usually can't muster up actual cheer, there is a certain focus under the surface, which can be rare to see in him.
He's also doing his best to keep an eye on his friends, to see how they're handling it all. After all, part of 'familiar' also means knowing how much it sucks to play along - and some of the consequences to failing to play the part.

Then he takes a decidedly grumpy bite of his sandwich. "And yourself?"

On first impression, people have described Fitz as shifty, unreliable looking, perpetually sardonic, and worse. On the whole, this is because people are pretty good at forming accurate impressions - even if they might later gain some, possibly deserved, depth. The second impression many people get, especially in times of trouble, is that Fitz has a friend called the Doctor who is extremely important to him.
He grins, the shadows erased from his expression for a moment, leaving him looking younger and much happier. "Oh, you know, I was just doing a little traveling around the universe with a friend. Actually, it's all his fault I know what these sorts of places are like. He gets into just shocking amounts of trouble, a terrible influence."

"I wish I could tell you he was more responsible in his youth."

"I know different bodies, different habits, but I don't know if I believe any version of you actually goes around insulting yourself like that."
