Who: Maggie Greene
Broadcast: yes!
Action: abord the Marsiva
When: Now /o/
[Maggie has found herself a quiet corner with a glass of iced tea and the first thing she can find resembling food she recognizes. No 112 oz. can of pudding here!]
Can anyone answer a couple questions for me? I'm still gettin' used to this whole 'you're kidnapped in space' thing. First: I'm looking for my husband but haven't heard from him nor seen him. Though I guess if we're both kidnapped that'd be a stupid thing to ask for.
[Seriously, how does she even go about solving all this? From just scrolling on her device people seem fairly normal and not in absolute distress. It's really throwing her off.]
Second: I'm missing a few things that should have been on me when I got here. I suppose I have our lovely captors to thank for that?
[Look, she just wants at least her pocket knife, ok. :| If she can't have the husband, give her a weapon.]

[Dont mind the little dude here, polite and focused and whatnot. He really likes to help the newcomers, make sure they're comfortable! After all, getting stolen from home stinks.
(except when it doesn't)]
They're real mean; they always take everyone's weapons.
no subject
That's a good guess. You wouldn't happen to know where I can find them would you?
no subject
Even if it doesn't seem like it with this one; he's all politeness and social energy.]
Ships can have guns, sometimes! I practiced with 'em in the training rooms...!
They're pretty cool; you can get ones that have lasers... Just be careful, because guns are serious business. I can show you how to use 'em if you're used to bullet-guns.
no subject
[But still, she smiled and rested her chin in the palm of her hand. He really was like a miniature Glenn with how eager he was to help.]
Where'd you learn how to use 'em? The laser-guns.
no subject
[He speaks with soft enthusiasm, and maybe, just maybe, a smidgen of pride.]
I know stuff gets bad... I've had to fight before, even though I don't like it most of the time.
So I always wanna be prepared; I gotta be good for my team!
[He's learned from his time with his adoptive father and his adoptive space parents — well, just that... being small, being protected, it's not something he wants. A normal kid wouldn't really think that way, maybe, but he's not a normal kid! He's stronger, and he's fought monsters, and he's died and lived! And he's faced the worst of the worst, and saw terrible things...!
And he doesn't... wanna be protected, if it means people being in danger.
Not ever!]
no subject
It's probably because I'm an adult already but it'd be a shame to see you be in such a rush, you know. Though I guess being an adult, being a 'grown up' for whatever that means, doesn't happen easily whether it happens tomorrow or later. I think it's great that you want to help people though. It reminds me of the person I'm lookin' for. He's like that too.
[Which only made her chest ache more.]
What's your name?
no subject
[That's a sign of youth, right? Right.
Forget that other stuff that is terrifying for a kid to deal with, he's not bothered.]
What's his name? Maybe I can keep a look-out for you! I'll pick him up and carry him over!
[A grin, as the expression on her face clicks. It's the way Heather used to look when she was talking about Mr. Ned — it feels like it happened so long ago, but he'd never forget that kind of fondness and love.]
Is he your boyfriend?!
no subject
[As for the other stuff - gosh this child... she can't even imagine what things he's seen in his life, but it can't have been great.]
I'd like to see you pick him up. Now that'd be a sight.
[See? Smiling, a little laughing. Definitely the face of a girl in love. Doesn't hurt that she's already taken by this kid here too.]
He's my husband. We're married an' everything.
[For how much it mattered, anyway.]
no subject
[HE'S SO INTERESTED.
He's never gotten to see a wedding, okay!]
My mom and dad weren't married before... She wasn't married to her boyfriend after that neither, so I never got to see a husband and wife!
no subject
[She holds up her hand, showing the ring Glenn gave her from off a walker.]
no subject
no subject
[As nice as a wedding would have been, this was easier. They were still married in all the ways that mattered.]
Have you ever been to a wedding?
no subject
No, ma'am! No, I haven't! I'd like to, though. I bet it's really nice.
People throw flowers at weddings, right?
no subject
[It really would be nice to have something like that but that was in another life for them.]
no subject
[He is so for this entire thing.]
Is it bad t'get married just to get some of the cake?
no subject
[Gosh how she wants to just ruffle his little head.]
Tell you what if Glenn shows up and we decide to have a real wedding, I'll let you have a big piece.
1/2
A-and if you need any help making it — I'm good at following instructions!
It's important on the ships, to know that kinda stuff!
no subject
Not making cakes.
[don't worry we aren't required to make cake]
