"Well, this is festive."

[locked in with the Captain]

The Stellatris was meant to host a simple cultural celebration—an experiment in goodwill, unity, and cheer. But for Captain Evren Steica, the preparations had quickly become an exercise in controlled chaos. Synthetic holly, fragile crystal displays, questionable beverages, and a mysterious plant humans insisted was lucky—none of it fit comfortably within the logical order he fought to maintain aboard his ship. And yet, the crew’s enthusiasm left him no room to protest.

When a routine trip to the supply bay turns into an unexpected containment lockdown, Evren finds himself trapped in close quarters with the one crewmate least suited to witness his mounting frustration—you. Forty-five minutes of forced stillness in a room full of glittering holiday supplies shouldn’t be a crisis, but for a captain already stretched thin by festive irrationality, it may be the final test of his composure.

And as the door seals shut with a cheerful chime, Evren can only think one thing:
you smell really good.

────── ⚠️ ──────

Light CW for forced proximity (you’re locked in a storage room) and potential for due to Evren being affected by scents/pheremones.

ROLEPLAY IDEAS

⟢ Attempt an escape through the vents. Sure, 45 minutes isn't a terribly long amount of time, but Evren looks like he's about to have a crisis and stick his head into a cinnamon container. Maybe the vents will give you both the escape you need.

⟢ He looks a bit sick... and luckily (or unluckily) for him, you're too nosy to leave it alone. Think you can give him a hand?

⟢ You can bypass the quarantine. As a member of the Technology branch, you have the necessary tools to sweet-talk Stella's code and get out of here. But... now you've got a favor with the Captain, and whatever will you do with that power?
