[Feed opens to what will eventually be a pretty standard expression; she's annoyed, and vocal about it.]

Okay, so ... whoever named these ships is a fucking moron.

I mean ... Tourist? Really? Who's dumbass idea was that? That's like ... the worst ship name I've ever heard. It almost screams 'Hey! I'm stupid and out of my element! Come steal from me!'


Seriously, where do I petition to change this shit? Or do I gotta do an EVA and repaint the hull myself?

Yeah, that'd be me. I'm from 26th century space-faring humanity, but I spent like, a year at a magic castle where it'd turn you into a cat or shit.

Actually, I've got a couple friends here from the castle, so that's cool, at least.

Being a cat sounds about as fun as a broken arm.

[Octavia make a hm noise before shrugging.] That's something, then.

Oh, trust me; it was much worse.

This your first trip through a pocket dimension?

Re: video

[grounds]

Thanks for clarifying.

[A nod.] Pretty routine around here it looks like.

Wait, so ... you're from a space-faring world too? [Her time in the castle had taught her that people came from all times and eras, and sometimes a microwave was a piece of strange, magical technology.]

[At least no one blows them up anymore.]

Uh, sorta. About a hundred years ago, Earth nuked itself, so humanity went into space. Stuff happened, and they formed The Ark, a giant space station. It started to fail, so they sent a hundred kids down there to see if Earth was livable. It was, so we're all back down there.

Re: video

[i_got_this]

Wow ... [Definitely a different direction than her world had taken.]

Jesus, sending kids? That's sorta fucked up, isn't it? [Not like her world didn't do worse]

[grounds]

Oh, not at all! [The sarcasm is dripping from this one.] We were criminals, so it was totally cool.

Re: video

[i_got_this]

That is such bullllllshit. Damn.

Almost makes a place like this seem like a godsend, don't it?

I feel we should get drinks sometime somewhere, bitch about the establishment.

[grounds]

God send or whatever, I'm still getting back home eventually. I've got people there who I need to see again.

[The last thought gets a smirk.]

But I won't say no to that.

Oh hey, apparently two of my friends are setting up bars, plural, so yeah ... I've got a hookup.

[Friends might be a little stretch, since she just met Varric and she's not exactly overt about her relations with Crowley, but if it means she can throw her weight around with bars, she'll take it.]

[grounds]

One of my friends works at one of those. Looks like we're covered.

[A soft 'heh'] Name's Octavia, by the way.

video

[i_got_this]

South Dakota. So who do you know, Varric or Crowley?

video

[grounds]

I know Fenris, a friend of Varric's. He works as a bartender I think.

video

[i_got_this]

Oh, I know him too! They're both on my ship.

Hm ... maybe we could rename it Rum Runner ...

video

[grounds]

Sounds like an improvement over most of the names if you ask me.

video

[i_got_this]

Haha, right? These names are just awful

video

[grounds]

Most of them at least.

Sounds like you're making friends with your crew though.

Re: video

[i_got_this]

Yeah, there are some pretty decent people here. Doesn't sound like I'm gonna have to knock sense into anyone ... yet.

[Truth is she's usually the one who needs sense knocked into.]

video

[grounds]

It could be way worse. Crossing my fingers for it to stay that way.

Re: video

[i_got_this]

Good luck. Never quite works out that way. [Pessimism get!]
