Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: ANYTHING!
Action: Probably either on or around the October planet!
When: Within the first couple of days that the planet shows up.

[holy shit you guys there is a planet, like, an actual planet now. what are you gonna do? get out and look? marvel at the locals? search for aliens? stand around your ship and questioning every life choice you've made up until this point? hang around in orbit because planets are for squares?

this is mostly for early stuff, so please feel free to make your own posts in the next couple of weeks with more planet (or station, or ship!) shenanigans.]

/tags very belatedly????

[payback]

[You know, she was looking to chat with him because she wanted to ask for some stuff... but this is very distressing. She comes to a stop at a respectable distance and squints at that hair.]

Robin?

/absorbs tag anyway

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... stops messing around with the landing gear to look over at her.]

...Rin.

[payback]

[She looks neutral for a moment... then her face kind of sets. She points to his head.]

What happened.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... thinks about lying. he really does. but with Rin, and the way she digs into things... it'll be easier just to tell the truth. he sighs, letting his arms hang slack in the mechanics.]

Tek shot me in the face.

[payback]

...

What?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah, so... Guess I don't have to worry about changing forms for a while...

[he looks... a little bothered, but not really all that upset about it.]

[payback]

[You know what she's just coming right over there.]

Why did he shoot you in the face.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah... [he shrinks down... a little...] It's complicated...?

[payback]

I know it can't be that complicated. Tell me.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he clicks his tongue... finding his backbone and hoisting himself back up. still leaning around landing gear, though.]

You know that thing that happened in Court I'm assuming we've all mutually decided not to talk about?

[payback]

... No?

[???? It distracts her enough that she just looks confused instead of mad.]

What?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[an even... bigger sigh. he reaches over to put a hand on her shoulder...]

He's learned about his future and isn't taking it very well. How's that?

[payback]

[She... doesn't relax.]

He learned about his future... and he shot you in the face.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

He's... really bad at internalizing his problems.

[ugh. he's not sure how he feels about it. he's been trying not to think about it. he'd really like to salvage his relationship with Tek--and being forced to lay out his flaws isn't making it easier.]

There's more, but... I don't want to explain. Just... I know it wasn't right of him, but I'm all right now. He didn't let me hurt anyone.

[payback]

Let you hurt anyone? Maybe we should be worried about him hurting people. Who's Tek, anyway? [Since... she doesn't know that... and she's pretty judgmental of people who SHOOT HER FRIENDS IN THE FACE. Imagine that. She folds her arms and shifts away a little.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

He's my friend. He's better now.

[...now that he's shot Robin in the face.]

[payback]

[Yeah, about that.]

Now that he's shot you in the face.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I'm fine.

[he points at his face! look at it, it's whole and stuff!]

[payback]

Next time something happens to me that I dislike, can I shoot you in the face?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... does not answer, but he looks a little like he's considering it...]

[payback]

That is terrible! No one should be just... just shooting you because they get mad!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I know, I know... [he waves his hand--get off his case.] You're the one who asked.

[payback]

So what are you going to do?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he breathes out, a little tight.]

I'm going to talk to him when he's calmed down.

[payback]

[... The look she gives him could best be described as incredulous.]

You're going to talk to him?
