When: Today-ish

[Sam's currently taking the time to heal after certain people we shall not name shot him in the arm; it's all good, it's all good. Pop some pain meds, keep the arm from getting worked too hard, it's going great. But now that he can't go do some work down on the moon, he's a bit more restless. Maybe he should tell Katie about his arm, have her work a little magic mojo...? Or should he just. Not tell the small child that someone shot him in the arm. Anyway.

He takes some time to voice some internal stuff. It was mostly spawned by Nightingale, and he can't help but speak up; it's utterly bizarre, he thinks, that he does that now. Speak up. He's still shitty at it, like, 60% of the time, but every percent counts. He compares it to the guy who was dying in a chapel not so long ago, and really, the amount of worth he's found in himself compared to then is staggering when he thinks about it.

Things change. He feels like he's been changing at a vicious pace for the last eleven years. But is that so surprising? Considering the friggin' circumstances, he supposes it only makes sense.]


Someone here asked me how to think positive.

More than that, how to be positive about yourself. And honestly? That's a work in progress. Don't get me wrong, you're talking to a hypocrite if I go... chiding you on healthy outlooks. But you know, someone from another world gave me a task, back when I was low — I mean, really low. She said... Even if it's only once a week, once a month, you should stop and remind yourself of something positive — about yourself. Some good thing you do, or some skill you have. Something that makes you you. Strengths. Foundations for others to work off of. Or hey, maybe you just like the way your nose looks.

If's kind of important, isn't it? Feeling like you're worth something in some way. I'd argue it's kind of a survival technique, right? Believing in your capabilities, they kind of help you get through rough situations. Help you be a better person, or contribute in a way that makes you feel like an important puzzle piece.

[He sweeps his hands though the air, palm-up, simply gestures that come with conversation. One arm is less lively than the other.]

And yeah, I can already hear some of you, telling me to pipe down on the armchair psychology, can it with the talk show advice. Kind of sappy, right? But I mean — hear me out, huh? Humor me.

What's something you guys like about yourselves?

...



And if you give some creepy, flippant, or otherwise wise-ass reply for some chuckles, we get it. You like how edgy you are.

[uhhhhhh oh wait that'll work]

I got great luck when it comes to my friends.
forcesensitive: (needs a pilot)

No, I mean it's really luck. I ran into them by chance, and they're the best people in the whole galaxy.
forcesensitive: (that's not good)

I guess? It would sure explain why I'm still alive.
forcesensitive: (think so)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-05-12 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Way too much.

--Been better since I got here, of course. So if we're not counting luck, I am good at my job and I took first in three war games this week.
forcesensitive: (you call this a weapon)

Foam weapon melee, moving targets from a speeder, and four-man paintball. And I got into a big team battle but they didn't do individual rankings in that, and I placed second in some board games.

[Someone's been having a lot of fun down there.]
forcesensitive: (ready to go)

It's what I know. I was military before I got here.

[...And he also happens to be damned good at it.]
forcesensitive: (secure it)

[HOW DID YOU KNOW]

I know ground tactics better, but yeah. Ship-to-ship is important, too, even if i hope we never have to use it here.
forcesensitive: (concentrate)

Oh, I'm not the only one. We get any kind of problem in space, there'll be a good number of ships that can fight back even without the augments.

[They're not as spread out as they could be among the ships, but there should be enough.]
forcesensitive: (needs a pilot)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-05-20 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hell, I can't pilot. But I know some pilots.
forcesensitive: (squints at)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-05-20 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Poe is, yeah. And--

[He furrows his brow and shuts his mouth abruptly. Huh. he'd never noticed, but--]

Actually, everyone else here that's from my galaxy is a pilot.

[Shh he doesn't know Padme and Aphra are from his galaxy.]

forcesensitive: (not so sure about this)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-05-23 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [In more ways than one.]

Oh, I know that. If nothing else, it helped me get a lot of money in the war games.

Ratings, I haven't figured that out yet. But credits we can earn, no reason not to. Pretty soon we can get some more upgrades on the Caprine.
