When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

[ Ino brightens a little when she sees her ]

Oh, hey Nova! Sure, you can come with. [ She holds up the map to show her -- don't worry, she's got the directions! ] I'm just gonna go looking for some plants and stuff to bring back to the Iskaulit.

[takeabow]

[ relaxes a bit ]

Do you know what the plants are?

[ino]

Mostly? A shit-ton of different kinds of cactus. But a lot of them have some helpful medicinal and health purposes, so it should be a good addition.

[takeabow]

Well, just tell me what to look for.

[ino]

[ She'll reach into her bag for her communicator, pulling up a picture of a cactus like this to show her. ]

This type is what we're looking for. It's got the flat "leaves" to it, see? They're good for eating, too, apparently.

[takeabow]

Okay, I'll keep an eye out.

[ino]

[ Well then, off they go! She'll be walking out towards some cacti a little ways away. ]

How have things been on your ship?

[takeabow]

Kind of a mixed bag, I guess. Not a lot of stability as far as crewmates go, but Stiles transferred.

[ino]

Oh? Who's Stiles?

[takeabow]

[ ok that kind of makes her laugh a little because she didn't remember they hadn't talked about that ]

Sorry. He's my boyfriend. I guess? Something like that.

[ino]

[ Oh no, that's super cute. She grins ]

Ooh~ So he transferred to your ship? Lucky you.

[takeabow]

[ shy katniss: go ]

Yeah...

[ she considers saying something else and then decides to go with it ]

It helps with the nightmares, too.

[ino]

[ Honestly, it doesn't put Ino off much, because ... she's the exact same way, whoops. She gives her a little wry smile back ]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[ Sometimes it's comforting to just have someone there with you, who'll be there to calm you down, even if they don't necessarily understand or know what the dream was about ]

So what's he like? This Stiles guy. He must be pretty interesting to win your affection.

[takeabow]

It's just good to know you're not still dreaming.

And he's really funny. I can get kind of caught up in remembering everything. You probably already know that. He's good at breaking that up for me? I guess.

[ino]

[ She nods ]

Makes sense. He sounds like a good person.

[ After all, she knows Katniss has been through some shit. So has she. There are a lot of people that she wouldn't ask to deal with all of that baggage -- it was a lot to handle, and she didn't expect it of anyone. She still isn't sure how or why Tadashi does it, himself. ]

I wanna meet him sometime! If that's okay with you.

[ A little teasing grin. It's not like Katniss could stop her from seeking the guy out, but. You know. ]

[takeabow]

Yeah, of course. You'll get along, I'm sure.

What about you? Are you seeing anyone here?

[ino]

I like to think I'm pretty easy to get along with.

[ Usually. Unless you piss her off.

Anyways, she'll tuck a stray hair behind her ear, a little half-embarrassed half-dorky smile on her face ]

Yeah. His name's Tadashi.

[takeabow]

What's he like?

[ino]

He's just ... really sweet. He'd do anything to help someone who needed it.

[ Even -- no, maybe especially her ]

He's really smart, too. He builds robots. At home, he built one that works like a nurse, it can perform checkups and stuff like that.

[takeabow]

Wow. That seems useful? And really, really hard to do.

[ino]

Yeah, tell me about it. I don't understand how that stuff works at all -- but he can do it, no problem.

[takeabow]

Well, I'd like to meet him too.

[ino]

[ She grins ]

Sure!

Oh -- we could do a double date or something like that. Not that there's anywhere good for that on this planet ...

[takeabow]

Yeah, I think I'd like that.

What have some of the other places been like?

[ino]

Mm ... the first couple places we went to were kinda creepy and weird. There was this one place we stopped with three moons that were super crazy about not allowing certain things on the moons, like, the planet of workers banned beauty products ... the fancy philosophical moon banned alcohol and drugs ... stuff like that.

Umm, we also stopped at a casino that had a bunch of fancy places to go, and tattoo parlors and stuff.
