[helladoomed]

Who: Chloe Price and open!
Broadcast: Fleetwide, accidental
Action: For people on the Marsiva, if they like!
When: Right now! And on until shuffle

[There was a young woman with blue hair passed out on the floor of Marsiva. She looks maybe nineteen or twenty, her clothing seems to be a tad damp, and she shifting occasionally as if having a nightmare of some kind.]

-on't you forget about me..

[The words come out in a mumble against the floor, and maybe it's the way they sound in a spaceshiip that yanks her out of her sleep, but a second later her eyes flare open and she sits up in a shock.]

WAIT I- What? [Whatever she was expecting, the Marvisa was clearly not it, and after a quick, panicked look around, she scrambles to her feet.]

Okay, calm down. Maybe this a good thing. Okay. Okay [She is clearly talking to herself, with no idea anyone is watching. Trying to calm herself down, probably.] Still alive. What does that even...

[She finally seems to have noticed a nearby window and the void of space beyond it because she freezes, then immediately darts over to it, staring out for a long breath, one hand coming up to press against the glass, making sure it was there.]

...What the fuck. Am I in space?!

[helladoomed]

It's...it's not that simple.

[Chloe has no idea how to explain.]

I'm from...about a day ahead of her, back home.

[delincuente]

[Ah.]

... And I'm guessing it's a pretty big day?

[helladoomed]

Biggest fuckin' day of my life.

[Chloe just sighs.]

Some of it was amazing. Max was. I don't know. I guess we...

[She shakes her head.]

Some of it is horrible though. No idea how to explain the good things in front of the massive, massive horrible thing.

[delincuente]

[Massive horrible thing. Alex knows a thing or two about those, and also about what happens to you afterwards.]

Listen, whether or not you want to tell her, you can't keep it to yourself. I used to be really bad about that. Something really awful happened to me, and I didn't say a word to anyone for a long time. It was stupid, and it just hurt worse in the end. Don't do that.

[helladoomed]

[That sounds like such good advice except.]

I want to tell her. I mean. I don't. I just want to tell her some of it but the rest...

You know Max. I tell her, and she's going to blame herself and feel horrible and I...can't do that to her again.

[delincuente]

If you don't tell her though, that's on you. You guys just have to work through it together.

[helladoomed]

[She groans.]

Oh sure, go and be all sensible and shit.

[delincuente]

[Sensible? Ew.]

Guess it's rubbing off on me. If you think I'm sensible, you should meet my boyfriend.

[helladoomed]

[Oh good a subject change.]

Who's he?

[delincuente]

Stefan, my first mate. You'll meet him eventually.

[helladoomed]

Oh hey, I actually talked to him already.

Man, Max's crew is all comin' out of the woodwork huh?

[delincuente]

What can I say? The fam that flies together, et cetera.

[helladoomed]

Huh. Guess so.

Man. I feel like I'm showing up two hours late to a date or something.

[delincuente]

Hey, at least it's one hell of a date. And there's no end in sight!

[helladoomed]

[She grins.]

Can't argue with that. Anyway, I'm gonna go look around some more. I'm sure I'll talk to you again.

[delincuente]

Yeah, sure thing. You'd better come hang out on the Paisley with us.

[helladoomed]

Pretty sure I've got at least one reason to do that.
