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

[geonomy]

Sorry, sorry! I wasn't thinking about calling anyone during the fight!

But yeah, I had help! And I went to a lab support guy right after it, so I'm fine! Just, you know. Healing up.

[proudlywehailed]

[there is a sigh, and the sound of shifting. can you hear him dragging his hand down his face, clay?]

Who helped you?

[geonomy]

[Your beard is scratchy enough that he probably can hear it ok]

The lab guy, or during the fight?

[proudlywehailed]

Both.

[geonomy]

Well, uh... The whole bar was kind of fighting? I had a lot of help getting out of there, friends who where there... even the person I was helping got in on it!

And I went to Allen after the fight. He's not a healer, but he still patched me up really good! [He'll just leave out that it was probably the worst experience of his life, with all the pain he went through during it. If you don't count all his other Worst Experiences of his Life.]

[proudlywehailed]

... So that is "patched up really good."

We need to train you more.

[geonomy]

[omg don't knock the bae]

It is really good. It's not magic, but he knew what he was doing, and I would've been a lot worse off if he didn't help me. [Like the black eye, it definitely would've swelled up and looked much worse in that case!] Everything I've got looks a lot worse than they really are, I'm fine, really!

[You know, normally he'd be all for training more, but the tone in which Orion says it just makes him want to cower in his seat until a black hole swallows him up. Pouting time.]

... I still won though? I'm just. Not used to bar fights. Or people using bar stools to fight.

[proudlywehailed]

I meant you still look like hell. Which means you took a lot more than I'm seeing.

[geonomy]

Ah... well... the eye was from the first guy. I didn't see it coming. I just told him to lay off and then... [He lightly baps his fist against his other hand.] Pow. You'd think I told him his mom was an alien.

[proudlywehailed]

Clay, we're the aliens.

I'm going to have to start focusing on self-defense over offense.

[geonomy]

Well, don't I feel alienated.

Can we go over if someone uses a weapon on me, too? I definitely got a bar stool swung at me.

[proudlywehailed]

You're gonna get your other eye blackened, making jokes like that.

Yeah. We'll work on some improv fighting. Anything can be a weapon, and other people know that.

[geonomy]

[SNRK.] Worth it.

Soooo... are these lessons going to start after I heal up, or am I in more trouble than I'm thinking I am here?

[proudlywehailed]

Are you gonna stay outta that bar?

[geonomy]

You can bet on the stars that I'll stay out of there. Bars aren't my thing at all; I was just there to study the culture and everything. [and he was NOT IMPRESSED]

[proudlywehailed]

Then we'll wait. If you want, we can meet up, and I can talk some theories about it with you. Just... stay safe. Can't afford to lose another pilot.

[geonomy]

[... Yeah, he gets what he's saying there.]

I will. You're not gonna lose me. [Not to a fight, at least. Hopefully.] We can definitely meet up. You're at the Iskaulit, right?

[proudlywehailed]

Yeah, as usual.

[He'll tell him about Misha when he gets here, then.]

[geonomy]

I'll be there in a few!

[And he heads out! Though not before putting on the pirate patch over his black eye. And the cowboy hat with his visor over it. Yep.

And sure enough, about ten minutes later, Clay docks on the Iskaulit (having raised his eye patch to get a better idea on where to land), gets out, and heads down the hallway to look for Orion. This ship is pretty big and all.]

Oriiiiioooon?
