into the distance a ribbon of black

Who: Dean Winchester (AU) & anyone willing to put up with him
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: the marsiva if anyone wants!
When: RIGHT NOW

[ There is something to be said for the few seconds before truly waking up, when everything is fuzzy and safe and nothing matters as much as it did the night before. But that moment tends to get shot in the foot pretty damn fast, especially when Dean is prone to waking up with a rush of adrenaline. Made infinitely worse by the realization that a) he does not know where he is and b) the automatic grab for the weaponry usually confined to his body results in nothing. Nada. His pistol is nowhere to be found, the blade in his jacket is missing, and no amount of grappling about solves that problem. And while he finds the comm device it only annoys him further because it's not his damn gun.

Which is right around the instant Dean shoves himself off the bed and shouts near as loud as he can manage-
] The hell is this! [ Followed with some more grumbling. ] Be better if I asked which Hell is this.. swear to God, this shit never gets any better.

[ It’s too echoey, too sterile, and the immediate need for answers is almost overpowering. He doesn’t give two shits about looking himself over, pushes aside thoughts of the last image that flashes across his mind, and instead gives one more look around the bed he woke in to try and find his weaponry because fuck this shit. Why he’s unarmed is of particular concern and a vast amount of silent panic, but he doesn’t want to stand here and leave himself open to anything either. Which implies moving, something that takes only another second to decide upon.

Not that he’s going to be going far

No, after a brief stint of stealthy meandering, Dean manages to find himself striding down towards the medical wing because why the hell not. Where it’s near impossible to resist the urge to start rifling through just about everything he can get his hands on. Because Dean Winchester is a Class Act. And because living through the apocalypse tends to make one appreciate medical supplies, especially when you're inclined to... start shit.

[Too late, Dean. You are liked.]

Only in a very distant sense. I saw you... the other you, once. Coming to visit Sam on the Red Fish, when he was asleep.

It's something that happens to people occasionally. They just fall asleep for no real reason, and stay out for sometimes weeks at a time. Educated guess says it's [She moves her hair and taps the spot behind her ear for emphasis, here. Also her ear is interestingly pointed. You know, like an elf.] them playing around with people.

[Not like you can't revisit the others at your leisure, Dean. What do you really have to do right now other than ask questions?]

Seems to. Maybe it's some stupid plan to drum up entertainment if a ship isn't being entertaining enough. Might be a...glitch? That's the word that means something technological messing up, right?

It induces worry in the people who care.

[She is unable to make any kind of soap opera reference as those don't exist where she's from.]

But no, I can't claim any insight on why Atroma does what it does to any of us.

[She inclines her head in agreement.]

Well, some people do bad things for reasons they can justify. It doesn't excuse it. Nothing excuses slavery.

Or that they'll never get caught, so they don't care about consequences.

[She shrugs one shoulder.]

I could sit here, speculating and complaining all day, but that's hardly a proper way to greet a person, even under shared circumstances.

[A small smile.]

That's really a topic for when you can get to the alcohol.
child_of_bhaal: (funny)

I know that feeling. The Marsiva has plenty of food, but they're not so generous with the spirits. However, once you're shuffled there are two taverns on the Iskaulit.

Be glad that if you had to get dragged here, it's when we do have them. A few months ago, we didn't have any. It was horrible.

[Oh Dean. Syeira doesn't run out on people. Nor does she give up on them. You'll learn.]

Before we salvaged the Iskaulit, we had to just buy what we could find on the stations. I'm fairly sure that's what the taverns themselves are doing, but on a larger scale.

sorry hover menu strikes again

Not exactly. Waystations are hmm... They're little docks out in the middle of nowhere, where you can get supplies and such. Some have been very abandoned, and others not so much. You just missed the one called Starlight Station. It was very overpopulated, very loud, and very bright. It had a little park. It was very nice.

[No she shares this concern. Sort of.

Okay her concern is weirder but it's along the same lines.
]

I have no idea where it comes from. You never see anyone refilling anything, or doing maintenance other than the crews of the ships. Yet, somehow the kitchens are always stocked with the goo they prefer to feed us.

[Look at her face. It is not a face of someone who wants to eat goo.]
child_of_bhaal: (firm)

omg your Dean is so good

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-04-12 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Preaching to the congregation here, friend!]

Oh I find it highly dubious, and I avoid eating it if I can help it. But sometimes there is no helping it. There is apparently a middle of nowhere out in the middle of nowhere, and Atroma often likes to take us directly to it.

Or to planets made of poison.
child_of_bhaal: (okay then)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2016-04-12 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Rock and a hard place. Nothing new, right?

[She doesn't actually know a lot about where he comes from, but like usually recognizes like.]

I'm always happy to share resources though, so wherever you end up, just keep it in mind, if you ever find yourself having to choose between goo or poison.
