BROADCAST N/A
ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

Haha. Well, I'll tell you straight up, it's not so bad to go off the trail. You just might end up wandering for a while.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh? That's good to know...

[he glances up, over at those trees...]

What'd you find when you went in there?

[aberrant_type]

[She stares out at them too. When he asks, it's like her gaze turns inwards.]

Some titans... none of them real, fortunately. Some various other things...

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Interesting... [he props his head up a little more--since that's definitely something to pay attention to. the lazy smirk never leaves, though.] And so it must be catered to the individual, since I don't hear anyone else yelling about Titans in the forest--as I imagine the average person would have done.

[aberrant_type]

Not at all. The average person would've been ripped apart and eaten alive.

[the edge of an awful grin for an awful joke.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Haha. That's a terrible thing to say.

[but he laughed. a little.]

[aberrant_type]

The truth hurts, I guess. [She folds her arms on the rock lip and rests her chin on them. Otherwise, she lets herself sink a little more fully into the water and her eyes settle half-closed.]

- well, I take it back. Depending on the titan's size, they might have been swallowed whole with no ripping at all.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Ah. We could have at least heard the screaming from here, is what I'm trying to say.

[what a morbid person. C:]

[aberrant_type]

[Hange's career is way too high-pressure and gory and awful for her to not have a kind of terrible sense of humor tbh]

Oh, we'd know they were here because they'd be coming out of the woods right for us! When there's humans around, titans love to come say hello.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

But they only show up for you, which is lovely. [he settles back down onto his arms.] I suppose whatever the forest has in store for me would be much different.

[aberrant_type]

Well, my companions saw them too. If someone is with you, it seems like they can see what you see.

[She turns her head towards him and cocks an eyebrow.]

So if you want to keep it private, make sure you go in alone.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

See. [raising a single finger, his point.] That's the kind of thing I was waiting for. Did you make it all the way through?

[aberrant_type]

If you're curious about something specific, ask for it.

Eventually, yes, anyway. I took my time.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he breaks into a grin.]

What did you get?

[aberrant_type]

Wouldn't you like to know?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he laughs a little...]

So it's like that, is it?

[aberrant_type]

I'm curious... [She rolls in the water, so she's partly floating on her back, legs stretched out but also crossed at the knee. If she arranges herself just right she can rest her head and the back of her neck on the rock rim and not go floating off or sinking.]

Curious about why you're asking!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Wouldn't you want to know? If I had something and you didn't...

[he is content to stay where he is, thank you.]

[aberrant_type]

[He can enjoy the view, and also observe the further striping. One goes horizontally across her chest, above her breasts. There are others slanting over her sides, her thighs, down her legs.]

A flare gun, actually. Empty.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he would be lying if he said it wasn't a nice view...]

Oh. Is that all?

[aberrant_type]

[looking is a free action.]

That's all. Were you expecting something fancier?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

With all that hype, maybe I was...

[aberrant_type]

It's part of my gear from home. No flares with it, I suppose that would be too easy. Maybe you'd have better luck.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Ah... Maybe. I'll let you know if I do.

[aberrant_type]

[She hums and settles into the water. She's still thinking about things... and in a moment she speaks again, meditative.]

It seems like a lot of fuss to build up to for all this.
