+1 unhappy time traveler
Who: Ramse and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: SS Starstruck, if you want to come and find him
When: soon after the shuffle!
[ To say that Ramse is displeased is an understatement. This is the second time he's been yanked from one world to another, and where the first was actually an improvement, this second place is... not. Outerspace. Really. Really?! They don't even have space travel in his time, though he knows that in the past people made it as far as the moon. Nothing like this. His outrage at being taken is the overwhelming thing, though. He was happy in Eudio, where there was food and people he cared for. They told him they were sending him home (something he already had mixed feelings about) and instead he's here. Having to learn a new way of life all over again and excuse me it's being watched?
He's found the armory and the clothes in his bunk room, at least, so now he's dressed and armed. He sits in the cold empty space while he fiddles with the communicator. It turns out to be easy to use, and when he makes a broadcast his voice is deep and grumbly. Someone's sooooo cranky. ]
So let me get this straight, I'm new and might not have understood. We're here... to be entertainment. Not to save the world, not to help with a war, not to do anything productive at all.
Yeah. How do we leave?

...unless it wouldn't help. What's your name?

What's this I hear about the deposits being frozen? [ He was hoping to go get a drink on the station but was told no one could access their money. ] What happened there?
no subject
What augment did you get?
no subject
no subject
You may be able to pick up some extra money with that, though. Some of the bars and clubs need bouncers.
no subject
...hm. [ He doesn't really like violence, for all that he's lived steeped in it. In Eudio he got a job as far away from it as he could but if he needed a job fast sticking to what he knows would be the best way to go... ] That's an idea.
no subject
[ she notices his hesitation ]
Of course there are other options, too. Other jobs you can pick up.
no subject
[ A little nod. ]
I'm going to ask around. It depends on how long we'll be here, too, I only need to make enough to eat while we're here. Those cube things in the mess? Ugh.
no subject
And I haven't really been working a lot lately, no. But hope springs eternal!
no subject
...bored, huh?

[ That's what he would be doing, anyway. ]
no subject
[ she is apologetic ]
no subject
I guess everybody does that when they first get here.

[ He lowers his voice conspiratorially. ] I'm not usually so cranky.
no subject
Somehow I can believe that. This is the sort of situation that makes people act out of character.

To the moon and back, and some orbiting. There are aliens, but I don't think humans, like me, have figured out the reverse engineering for that.
