uncomfortable questions + action

Who: Nova + U
Broadcast: Video
Action: On SS First Breath or planetside
When: now

[ a video pops up. Nova is looking mmmmore rested than she has in previous videos, but thoughtful and slightly distant ]

I have a weird question... have you ever met someone in one of these places who's supposed to be dead? Or... I guess, are you? How do you know?

[ she's also available to be found just outside of town on the dusty moon, or back on her ship later ]
mucked: (☂ we saw you lying in the road)

Time and history. [ she repeats. ] Malleable.

[ and although peggy doesn't care to talk about herself: ] Here, I've met a man whose death report I'd read and signed myself. Only now he seems to be living someone else's life. The face is the same but the details don't match. I wonder how it's possible.

[ is the problem metaphysical? or astronomical? cosmic? ]
mucked: (☂ from all signs of mad mankind)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Heavens, no. [ -- though she shudders to think on it. reading the report had been damning enough. and the young woman's rudeness doesn't seem to register. ]

There was a war going on, and his death was in the field. My role was more -- well, administrative.

[ she undersells herself by design. peggy isn't keen to mark herself out as an agent of any sort. ]
mucked: (☂ fighting the jury in my head)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
True enough. [ ahem. ] But no, I wasn't there.
mucked: (☂ i laughed and shook his hand)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I can't fault you for that. [ a quick pause. ] I imagine I'd feel much the same.
mucked: (☂ away from the streets and signs)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Nova? [ -- new, or like to do with the stars? that gives her pause. ] What a pretty name.

Call me Peggy.
mucked: (☂ you have made)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ katniss is an equally pretty sort of moniker, but peggy refrains from lashing the cream on too thickly. overt sweetness can often spoil a blooming acquaintanceship. ]

Nova it'll be, then. A kind take on a new beginning.
mucked: (☂ i'll follow you into the dark)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
-- Is that how names were divvied up? By team?
mucked: (☂ deep asleep)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-09 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
And was forgetting them a common experience?
mucked: (☂ the only girl)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-10 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds heartbreaking. [ dour. ]
mucked: (☂ away from the streets and signs)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-10 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah, determination. it's a fine quality to witness. ]

Have you got anyone else here you'd known from...before, Miss Nova?
mucked: (☂ the only girl)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Fortuitous. And likely more than a small comfort, given the circumstances.
mucked: (☂ for years and years i roamed)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-11 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
And I imagine he must feel quite the same way about having you nearby.

[ she can be a bit of a romantic. at times. ]
mucked: (☂ i suffer mornings most of all)

[personal profile] mucked 2015-10-11 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, she refuses to allow any falter in her voice. prim and precise, she answers: ] Hold onto him. The good ones are so rare and so very wonderful.
