SHUFFLE/WAY-STATION/ILLNESS/WHATEVER MINGLE POST

[save_the_souls]

Who: You! Me! Him! Her! Them! Everyone!
Broadcast: If you want!
Action: On your respective ships, or the Waystations!
When: After the shuffle over the next couple days! Whenever man!

[It's been nearly a week since the fleet's said their goodbyes to the planet full of skull face folks, and another Shuffle has come and gone. Despite what was mentioned on the last week's Shuffle about cannibalism, it doesn't seem like any crews has resorted to that, so maybe some of you have begun to relax.]

[Or maybe not. In fact, maybe you should do a crew headcount just in case1.]

[By now, some of you who handled any red stones from the planet natives may be feeling under the weather or even downright shitty. But hey! What's that to stop you from visiting the way-stations? These way-stations may be in the same crappy condition as the last way-stations - but at least they're people on these ones! Really...shady looking people! But that's not about to stop you from making friends right2?]

[Essentially, this is a game wide mingle post for this week's shuffle, November's way-stations anyone getting ill, or anything else you want to do but too lazy to make a post about! Please feel free to tag in and tag around! Just make sure to put your characters' location and communication methods (action/network) in the header and/or in the prompts!]

1. - This recommendation goes double for the SS Blue Fish.
2. - Warning: Attempts to make friends with extremely shady characters on the Way-Stations may result in heartwarming musical numbers, or much, much more likely - being kidnapped. Please use your own discretion.

Exactly that. I wonder if that alien planet had weird...germs.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Space germs. [he humors the thought before adding:] Or it's something they're pumping through the ventilation system for kicks. Who knows.

[onlyanapple]

[There's a pause.]

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. Got to keep the viewers happy, right? Maybe they're hoping one of the morals will die from it.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Shouldn't that happen like... later, though? Wouldn't this be early on in the season?

But then again, what do I know about space programming...

[onlyanapple]

Maybe it will be an interesting and unexpected plot twist. Could be the angle they're playing.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[a grooooan as he lets his head fall on some flat surface.]

I'm getting tired of people with unknowable motivations running my life...

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a humourless laugh. Between Heaven, Hell, Paradisa and now this place, he can echo that statement.]

There ought to be a law.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Several laws. [obviously still talking into a table.] The first of which being that we can't be subjected to random sickness if we're not even supposed to get sick.

[onlyanapple]

Too bloody right. Having an uncompromising immune system should discount us from this sort of bollocks.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Absolutely. I worked hard for this immune system.

[...a pause...]

Well, not really, but I'm sure I could think of some other justification.

[onlyanapple]

We don't have to of worked hard for them. It's the very fact that we have them at all, which should exclude us from being infected with...ugh, space germs.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Space germs... Ugh.

[rude. rude rude rude.]

Someone better be enjoying my misery. It's going right back into booze, at this rate.

[onlyanapple]

I'm too miserable to drink.

[P.A.U.S.E]

I just made myself sad.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That's... the saddest thing I've ever heard.

[they are going to die out here.]

[onlyanapple]

I know. [Cough hack hack cough.]

Why is this happening?? It's not fair.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

It's really not. I'm gonna go... [a LONG pause while he tries to think of what he's actually going to go do.] ...I don't know, bother a lab person about it.

[onlyanapple]

Enjoy breathing your disease on them, they might work faster if they're sick, too.

[Guys, that's not how it works.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yes... [he sounds determined. this could be dangerous.]

[onlyanapple]

[He should probably do something, but that would involve moving, so NOPE.]
