Who: Khadgar
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Twin Roses
When: Day after the shuffle

Ah...

[If anyone is used to seeing Khadgar, awake or tired, he looks much more tired than usual. And appears to be in the middle of packing a few things up in a box in his room.]

Those that know her- [He refuses to use past tense.]

Merlan O'Keefe is no longer part of the fleet. [He turns and neatly sets a necklace i the box, on top of a warm-looking cloak, the closes it up. His room is still a bit of a mess but it's all him now.]

If you're looking for anything, let me know. She mostly stayed in my room. And she didn't leave notes or anything that I found yet. Sorry.

[Audio] You have died of dysentery.

Who: Peter Parker and all you bored Flooters
Broadcast: Audio
Action: At the Iskaulit's arcade! Because look, drifting is kinda boring
When: Today!

[Space travel was still definitely cool, but Pete'd started getting a little restless. So, he'd gone and visited the Iskaulit for a bit and see what he could find to help kill the time. It only took him a little bit of exploration before coming across the arcade, and...well, from the sound of things, that's had some mixed results.]

So, anybody know who to talk to about getting some new games for the arcade? I'm fine with the classics, but Asteroids just feels... weird when you're actually on a space ship playing it.

[Also a little like tempting fate, and no thank you, he is not about to jinx his involuntary space adventure.]

Also? I'm not really sure where the Flootgon trail is, but losing half the party to... space dysentery seems excessive. It's only been ten minutes!

[No he has no idea what any of the weird-sounding diseases in this game are, he can only assume they're more or less analogous to the same ones found in the far more familiar version of this game.

And that frustration soon gives way to an exasperated sigh and some grumbling under his breath, because no, this game's not done.]

...aaand there goes another one. Because of course no one boils any water, just drink it straight from the fever swamp!

[Yes, he's still playing. Because at some point, morbid curiosity just takes over, and you have to wonder just how far your small group of pixelated pioneers can make it before they're all wiped out by poor hygiene and sanitation choices.]
