Who: Orion and YOU
Broadcast: Voice
Action: Iskaulit
When: 9/25

[there's a shift and some crackling, as he's adjusting his position. it sounds like he's moving some things around.]

... Two questions.

One, who would be the best person to go to about setting up a larger infirmary on the Iskaulit? After what happened, I think it might be better to have some larger area set up. Especially if something ends up happening and we need to quarantine some kind of ailment.

... And two. [and then he pauses, because he doesn't know how to ask the second one. it's not like it's the first time someone's left, but..]

Does anyone know what happens to the people who leave? A theory, a guess... Anything? Going home is supposed to be the prize for winning at the end of the show, isn't it?



[ADDED LATER:]

... Just an added note, if anyone has any skill in blacksmithing, I could use your help.

Comments

[takeabow]

Yeah. I'm a hunter. I'd live in the woods if I could.

[proudlywehailed]

Guess our current stop isn't exactly doing it for you, is it?

[takeabow]

Not exactly. But the fresh air is nice, and a break from all the constant noise.

[proudlywehailed]

You know, we've got meditation rooms set up on the Iskaulit for some quiet time.

... When we're between planets, anyway.

[takeabow]

Do they cut out the machine noise?

[proudlywehailed]

I made sure to do as much sound-proofing as I could. They're not gonna be a substitute to fresh air and open skies, but they work.

[takeabow]

Thanks, maybe I'll check it out.

I'm Nova, by the way.

[proudlywehailed]

Orion. Nice to make your acquaintance.

[takeabow]

...Thematic, huh?

[proudlywehailed]

Coincidence, in this case. Didn't have a name when I got here, so a friend of mine decided "Orion" fit.

[takeabow]

Makes sense enough.

No name?

[proudlywehailed]

Only had a title. "Commander." Didn't go over well as a name, and that life... I'm not exactly living it here. So I got a new one.

[takeabow]

I can understand that.

[proudlywehailed]

The people here aren't all great with authority. "Commander" isn't much a name for people like them.

But "Orion" suits me. And I bet "Nova" suits you.

[takeabow]

I'd like to think so. I don't know. It's not too complicated.

[proudlywehailed]

At the least, it suits you out here.

[takeabow]

Thanks. I got it at the last place I was. My real name is Katniss, but Nova feels... okay for now. Since I'm not who I was at home.

[proudlywehailed]

Fair enough. I think it's important to be able to go by what you want. So if anyone ever gives you shit for your choice, break their nose.

[takeabow]

Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I can handle myself.

[proudlywehailed]

You sounded like the type who could.

[takeabow]

What gave it away?

[proudlywehailed]

The stern attitude and the hunting.

Which, by the way, I'd recommend doing whenever you can, if you want fresh anything to eat.

[takeabow]

I don't really have my equipment, but I'd like to hunt something, yeah.

[proudlywehailed]

We apparently have some people who know how to make weapons here. I bet you could find someone who could make a bow.

[takeabow]

Yeah. I don't know what I could do in exchange, though.
