Who: Yuan Ka-Fai and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: SS First Breath
When: Today

[ This is the second time in less than 24 hours that Yuan has found himself somewhere new that is distinctly not home, and he's looking incredibly nonplussed. Not that he was any happier to wake up - however briefly - on the Marsiva. He glares irritably at the pudding cup and confetti, and looks around the bridge. ]

Now what?

[ It's not clear if he knows he's broadcasting, or is actually waiting for a response; his gaze soon falls on the communications equipment, and he starts poking around at it curiously. The feeling of having knowledge he's never actually learned about how to work this stuff is deeply unsettling, so naturally he's probing at it like a sore tooth. ]

[Crowley's tempted to tell Yuan about the time he cut his ponytail off, but...perhaps not yet. He remembers how...cranky Yuan could be. Save it for another time. ]

Crowley. It's a pleasure- again.

I wish I could say the same... [ He looks around, making a face at his surroundings. ] ...but I really can't afford to be on vacation right now.

I wouldn't have palpitations about it. Time stops back home, so when you eventually go back, it'll be like you weren't gone at all.

It's how places like this always work.

Really. [He looks surprised - Allen didn't mention that part. Also he's not sure he believes it, but he's been at least moved along far enough to start trying to accept reality as it's presented to him.] ...How do you know?

[onlyanapple]

Because I've seen it in other people time and time again.

People go home sometimes, come back with their memories intact, even after going home. They all say the same. It was like they'd never been gone.

Weird, right?

[Yuan sighs.]

Very weird. We're probably back to 'not sure if I'm dreaming all this', except for the part where I'm not supposed to need sleep.

Anything else useful you can tell me? Might as well get all the unreality out of the way now.

Absolutely not a dream or even some weird angel-y bender, I'm afraid.

You'll have all the information you need about living in space put in your head by your Augment. It's sitting in the back of your head. Don't try to pull it out.

"Angel-y bender"? I think you have an odd idea of what angels are.

About living in space here particularly, or just space in general? I'm actually familiar with how space works at home.

What happens if I try to remove it?

Video

[onlyanapple]

Oh no, I have a very good idea of what angels are. I have a lot of experience in that area.

Pretty much living in space here. How to do whatever job you've been assigned, stuff like that.

Crippling, terrible agony, from what I understand.

[cloakand_danger]

And so do I - as I suspect you know, since you brought it up - so we must be familiar with different kinds of angels. [His tone is dry, but not unpleasant - despite himself, there's something terribly easy about bantering with Crowley, and he thinks he could get used to it.]

...I guess I'll hold off on experimenting with that, then. [He is tracing fingertips around his scalp until he finds the little node, though, prodding at it curiously.] ...Do they do anything besides give us information?

Video

[onlyanapple]

I do know, in fact, and yes. I've met..a lot of different angels, honestly.

[Crowley would approve of this. He's MISSED Yuan.]

Sometimes they can play silly buggers with you. Change your shape, age, mindset. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it is something that can happen.
