[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

[He laughs softly.]

I've never been described as being fine, but I think that's a fair assessment.

New to space?

[He's trying to get to know her, really. Better to get use to living together and being teammates, and whatnot; he gives her his attention more fully, leaving aside his tea and comm device.]

[girlverine]

Yes.

[If he wasn't a threat, he was fine. She looked around the room again.]

It is not what I expected.

[collegedropout]

Yeah?

[A smile.]

Expected something particular out of a movie? Or maybe a book?

[girlverine]

No. Members of the...team I belonged to have been to space. This is not how they described it.

[collegedropout]

[Aaaah, right, got it.]

Better or worse than you expected?

[girlverine]

[She seemed to turn this question over in her head.]

When the X-men usually go to space it is because of a war. This is...television.

[She sounded just a tiny bit disgusted.]

[collegedropout]

It's hard to think about, huh? Being stuck as some unwilling contestant.

[He glances up in a wide circle, as if trying to find a camera.

He knows it's fruitless, that idea.]

Could be more to it, though. Something more sinister.

[girlverine]

Yes. [She frowns.]

If there is something else going on, no one I have listened to knows what it is.

[collegedropout]

[He shrugs casually despite the topic.]

I don't think it's from lack of trying in the past.

One person I spoke to had their memory wiped of what they'd learned.

Progress is... staggering along, to be sure.

[girlverine]

...What do you know, then?

[If progress was moving, then surely they knew something...]

[collegedropout]

Not a whole lot. I know people have interacted with the Atroma, or at least their representatives, before. Someone told me -- the one who had her memory wiped, anyway -- that there was something unnatural about the make-up of the Marsiva. That there was something... alive about it, maybe.

[girlverine]

I attempted to investigate it while I was there, but could not find a means off the...hospitality deck.

[collegedropout]

Yeah, my brother couldn't get any further, either. Neither did I before him.

Even those with exception powers haven't been able to crack it... They're either using strong magic, or... more likely, their technology is way beyond what we understand right now, even with our augments.
