.02 [ Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This ]
Who: Rogue
Broadcast: nope
Action: Planet with optional Vanquish options
When: Planetside, from beginning to end.
A Is for Augmentation
[It’s the middle of the night, and all good children are supposed to be in bed… so then what is Rogue doing, walking around the boarding house with her gloves off and her eyes closed?
Maybe it’s the same thing that has her shrieking awake a few night’s later, one single, panicked cry that she quickly stifles as awareness returns? Unfortunately, this won’t be her last night with nightmares… and unfortunately, sometimes the sleepwalking and the nightmares may come at once…]
B is for Bounty
[...hunting, that is. Rogue wasn’t planning on making a habit of this, it wasn’t really her thing, but if she found a wanted poster for a guy who did something that pissed her off enough, she would go and make it her business to hunt that particular individual down.
Of course, she didn’t really have any idea what she was doing. It just seemed like a thing to try. How do you find a needle in a haystack, and one poorly washed thug really was almost interchangeable. Walking up to someone and asking, ‘Hey, have you seen this guy?’ was probably not the best way of going about it.
In fact, that’s possibly the kind of thing that could get a gal more attention than she was looking for...]
C is for Chisel (and hammer, and stone)
[Rogue wasn’t exactly sure what that quadraped was, but… she has decided to call it a ‘zeorse’ and she is happy to see it. Do not doubt that she will be making friends in the stables and riding off on adventures…
And one of those adventures takes place after a week or so on the planet, and the quiet confirmation that both Tony and Zessica had… gone, Rogue borrows a chisel and hammer from a local She rides out into the wild and finds a cluster of hard red rock, and in the lee of the wind carves three names there: Tony. Zessica. Anja.
She’ll be more withdrawn and quiet than normal when she returns those tools.]
D is for Drunk and Disorderly
[Sometime after this conversation, Rogue will be… upset.
She will be upset enough to go blindly into the night with a powerful need to punch things, though with Kurt there she didn’t feel it was… the best idea, perhaps, to go and start a bar fight even though it would be so. easy.
So she just goes to a bar. And she orders a drink. And if there is a fight she doesn’t have to start but gets to finish, so be it.
So. Be. It.]
E? E is for Everything Else.
[On the Vanquish? Shopping and hoping to make something out of this material? Staring dramatically into the sunset?]

Isn't that why they hired a bunch of us? Because they're terrible at preventing bar fights?
[If he sounds a bit grumpy about that, he is; someone has to play bad bartender and growl at these larger-than-life men, just because he's the poor sap who gets them on his shifts.]
no subject
Yup. Kinda the point.
[ Of it being a free moon, and all.
Ugh. Gawd. She was so tired. ]
no subject
Sure seems like it. God, it's like... ["like the mafia all over again," but he knows better than to voice that opinion out loud, so he settles for--] like they've gotta step up their game.
I can only stop so many guys from getting that drunk.
no subject
[Sorry, Shawn, Rogue's not much of a conversationalist even when she wasn't recently awoken from sleepwalking with remnants of a not fully recalled bad dream shifting about in her head. She needed coffee or to punch something or just a decent night's sleep.
She eyed the side of a building as they passed, wondering if she ran into it at full speed, would she get lucky and knock herself out?]
no subject
Shawn lets out a yawn, careful to muffle it with his hand as he stretches.] Sorry. If I could help with your augment thing, I would, but engineers are kinda useless with that kind of machinery.
no subject
Uh, thanks? But no offense, I don't usually try an' let total strangers mess with my head.
[A wave at her augment.] Present evidence aside.
[Seriously, for someone who guarded her autonomy as closely as Rogue did, the past 5+ years had been hellish just for the influence on her mind alone.]
no subject
[Shawn lets out a groan, almost burying his face in his hands. Stupid, stupid - he wasn't trying to imply that. Even if that's probably what came out of his head.]
It's just... this whole thing's stupid. Traveling to other planets, not really, but messing with our heads and filming us? Back home, people get to decide if they're gonna be on TV.
no subject
Trying to be nice, though. That said something.]
Well, mostly. Always got those Candid Camera folks an' then there's all those security cameras in the malls... who knows what they do with that.
[She couldn't do serious talking, not tonight. But nonsense - nonsense she could do.]
no subject
Even then, you usually know with security cameras. People usually miss the big sign in the window, but it's there.
On "Drift Fleet," I still can't figure out where they'd be. The broadcasts we make? Yeah. Totally our choice. But for all I know, they're splicing things like this with, I don't know, the bar fights I keep watching at work.
[He never said he was a GOOD bartender.]
