+1 unhappy time traveler

[nostraightlines]

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?

What angry guy?

[pneumo]

The one with the white hair and the face paint--he kinda looks like an old man.

[nostraightlines]

Haven't seen him. Does he have any proof?

[pneumo]

......

I have no idea. I totally forgot to ask!

[nostraightlines]

Always get proof, kid.

[pneumo]

I've gotta call him...

[nostraightlines]

You do that, I'll wait.

Do you even have his name?

[pneumo]

...Nope! But I have the thingy from when he was talking about blood! I can use that.

[nostraightlines]

The thingy from where he was talking about blood.

[ You're a real piece of work. ]

[pneumo]

[ He is perfection ]

Yup☆ He was taking it from people.

[nostraightlines]

Okay... why?

[pneumo]

I forget! But he wasn't sharing, and he got super mad when I asked about it.

You should be careful if you want any.

[ It also helps if you aren't a vampire asking for it, mind you... ]

[nostraightlines]

Other people's blood isn't on my list right now, I think we're good.

Why did you want it?

[pneumo]

I was hungry!

...Or well, okay. I wasn't super hungry. But asking for free blood was too much to resist!

[nostraightlines]

...

Okay, I got nuthin.

[pneumo]

That's okay--I wasn't expecting you to have any. [ ...Blood, he means. To offer. He's sure he has it inside his body. If they were near one another he'd be able to smell it. ]

[nostraightlines]

[ No seriously he has no idea where this conversation even went. ]

Vampire?

[pneumo]

Yes, but--! Please don't hang up!! [ Don't do it he'll be good he swears ]

[nostraightlines]

I'm not hanging up.

[ he's curious ] What do you eat here, then?

[pneumo]

Nothing, yet. But I almost had a whole lamb hock at the butcher shop I used to work at.

[nostraightlines]

Did you just get here too?

[pneumo]

Nah, I've been here a few weeks now. Or at least, I think I have. It's really hard to tell!

[nostraightlines]

Because there's no day and night?

[ Now that he's thinking about it, that can't be healthy. ]

[pneumo]

Yeah. The station we're at right now had fake day and night that feels pretty real though.

[nostraightlines]

I haven't been on the station yet, just the big ship and then I got sent to mine.

...might need a guide.
