+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?

Alright, I recant my last 'that sucks'. This is definitely worse. So, you immune then? Not...bringing the disease with you, are you? Like a carrier?

[nostraightlines]

I'm one of the immune, yeah. I don't think being carriers works that way but I sort of missed out on anything above a third grade education, so. Immunology? Not my thing.

We could ask a doctor.

[bigvessel]

Yeah, well. I've dealt with my fair share of WMDs, biological included. It...might.

[A curious pause.] What ship are you on?

[nostraightlines]

It was engineered, yeah. But it's mutated a few times since the plague first started.

I'm on the Starstruck.

[bigvessel]

That's..hm. [It's okay. The assholes that brought them here aren't going to be so careless as to let them all get wiped out by some planet's disease. They probably did tests....right? Yeah, he doesn't put that much trust into people.

And god dammit. That's his ship. Awesome. He's on board the same boat as patient zero.]

...Yeah, hey there crewmate. Let's uh...should-should definitely get that checked.

[nostraightlines]

Okay. You know any doctors?

[bigvessel]

...Actually, I don't. [He's had other priorities in his short stay here so far. Like money. And girls. And. And he should probably meet a doctor for future reference.] But there's gotta be some around somewhere.

[nostraightlines]

I guess I'll ask around. But I doubt they'd toss me in here if I were contagious.

[bigvessel]

I'm kinda banking on that right now. [And he gives a slightly nervous huff of laughter.] Still, rest easier and all that shit.

[nostraightlines]

Don't worry, I'll find out.

[bigvessel]

Appreciate it, man. You might be a decent crewmate after all. So, welcome aboard and all that junk.
