A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

Somebody has to.

[He says it simply but firmly, brooking no argument. There's clearly tears in his eyes, though, as he turns to kill another bug.]
ino: (Not what I wanted to hear.)

Well -- yes, but it doesn't have to be you.

[ She moves closer to put a hand on his shoulder ]

[He finishes killing the last bug, sniffs, and turns to face her. That hand is comforting, frankly, and he steps closer.]

It's my job. I've got the shield. It has to be me.
ino: (Hmm ...)

[ She searches his expression for a moment ]

Who told you that?

I-- I mean, the Gems, sort of. I have a legacy. My mom protected anyone and everyone she could. I have to do the same thing.
ino: (Pardon?)

[ ... ]

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, legacy or otherwise.

But even if you do want to protect everyone -- you don't have to go so far, especially by yourself.

Well . . . it's good we found each other, then. We can keep going together!
ino: (Gentle.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah.

[ She'll squeeze his shoulder, straightening up and putting her hands on her hips to survey the walkway around them ]

I was going to see if I could find the control room.

Let's keep going forward. It's gotta be close; there's a ton of workers.
ino: (Stay back!)

[ Nods! And ... yeah, she knows Steven said he wanted to protect people but. He is also a babby, so she walks in front of him a bit protectively, keeping her eyes out for anything that might be skittering about in the halls ...

... She might be drawing out another knife when she hears a strange sound up ahead -- ! ]
