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.

it was pretty surreal not gonna lie :')

Oh, no, I'd totally love to go get something. That sounds way better than... [...uh.] ...Whatever I was doing.

[she brushes the nothing off of her pant legs and walks closer to Jill because they are doing friend things now. did she manage to make a friend? is this how friend works?]

The place really is kind of creepy, so, uh... It's appreciated. I've kind of been quietly wondering if aliens are going to attack every... hour or so.

2serious blondes i guess

[torsion]

Yeah. Whatever it was. [ It's easy to let it go, mostly because she seems so keen on it. It's not like it looked like she was planting explosives or trying to hurt anyone (or being hurt herself), so how much did it really matter, anyway? ] I was running, myself. Just a change of scenery made it easier to make me want to stretch my legs, I guess.

[ Jill can't quite say. The whole "friend" thing isn't really her bag. Most of hers were rarely seen, occasionally emailed or called. There was Chris, but he was special. Before Kijuju, after. Here or Koriko. Even back in Raccoon City, he had always been... more. ]

Ha, yeah. Hate to call it shady because it sounds so cliche, but it feels like this is some sort of western movie and a guy's about to turn over a table and start a fist-fight while trying to pick-pocket someone. But if you're worried, you're in good hands -- so to speak.

[ She can crush a skull with her thighs, after all. ]

[ladiesss]

Oh, good. Because I really suck at fighting and stuff.

[she will happily follow along wherever Jill goes, now. she's kind of linefacey, but seems to already be more at-ease than she was when she was caught doing something weird.]

I guess it's better that the place is full of obviously shady people, instead of, like... I don't know, people who act really nice but are secretly out to harvest our organs and sell them on the black space market. Black hole market? Hm.

[torsion]

Ah, well, then you're definitely in good hands if there is one.

[ She punctuates it by balling a fist in one hand and cracking her knuckles from it all at once then repeating the action with the opposite one. She tilts her head some to the side, tiny little crack of a smile digging at the corners of her mouth. ]

Honestly, that doesn't sound all that out there. I don't even know what the intentions are of the people or things that have us on those ships. Entertainment seems a little much, if not very sketchy. Hopefully it's the lesser of two evils right now. Assuming our organs are in danger.

[ladiesss]

[a-ah, she smiles and claps her hands lightly... a quiet round of applause for the impressive lady who is probably way more physically competent than she will ever be in her entire life.]

Whoa, so... are you saying you think there might be something else going on? Aside from the whole galactic entertainment thing?

[torsion]

Don't know what to say, really. It just seems too simple to me.

[ She's more physically competent than most people will ever be in their lives, frankly. Either way, she's not quite sold on the entertainment angle... ]

[ladiesss]

Ooo, conspiracy. [she scoots up so that she can walk right beside her, folding up her hands behind her back.] You know, my high school was supposed to be this state-run social experiment for "gifted" students and stuff like that? And then it turns out that it was actually the grounds for like, ancient avatar transference rituals for vampires and werewolves and stuff. It was so a plot twist.

[shrugs.....] So I'm kind of starting to think that nothing is really simple. You know?
