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.]

Comments

[passingthrough]

There aren't any. Guards I mean. Everyone on the ships were abducted too. The Atroma don't usually make themselves known and when they do it's been over the network.

[She looks up from her task apologetically. She was pretty sure she wouldn't find it when it wasn't familiar but she still looked through twice.] He's not on the roster.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Oh.

[Well now she feels silly for checking corners everywher she goes and walking around with a fork...]

How often is that?

[Instead of answering about Glenn, she just nods, tugging on her ring again before pushing it back into place again.]

[passingthrough]

[Kitty was doing something similar when she arrived. Less fork action. She's her own weapon, but it was also her second mysterious abduction so even it was tempered. You should have seen her early days at the prison though.]

Twice since I got here. That was [counting in her head] nine months ago.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Nine months? I- I can't be stuck here that long. Glenn- he'd- I can't be here that long.

[It was bad enough they'd been separated after the prison had been overtaken by walkers, only to wind up in Terminus together, but this?? No. She definitely can't do that.]

[passingthrough]

It's hard to say how long it might be. And they could always bring him here too. Whatever gives them better ratings I guess. [If that is their real motivation.]

[youdontneedapictureofme]

They can take their ratings and shove 'em for all I care.

[Maggie, that's not very nice :| except it's kind of deserved??? For real.]

[passingthrough]

Sure. I mean, I don't know that many people actively trying to get better ratings. Just giving you some idea of their supposed motivations.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Right. Sorry it's just - I don't understand what they'd find so entertaining in a bunch of frightened people who can't go home.

[passingthrough]

Lotta sick people out there I guess. [This is why she has all the fans, right?] Could be that's just what they tell us but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of point in it for any other reason either. An experiment maybe.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Well, if I can find a way out, I'm taking it. I have a family waiting back home. What about you? Any family waitin' for you?

[passingthrough]

Mmm... [She hesitates less because it's hard for her to say and more because it's just not a very cheerful topic of conversation with someone you just met, but it's only a pause before she answers honestly anyway.] Nothing waiting back there for anyone. Least of all me.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Maybe you'll find it here instead. Seems like everyone else is happy here. I'm just the stick in the mud in all this.

[She gets hard topics and not wanting to talk about sad things. She's had plenty of those herself so she won't press it.]

[passingthrough]

Already have. It must be a strange thing to see as a new arrival though. A lot of people happy with their abductions or at least living a happy enough life through them. [She knows she wouldn't have trusted that when she first touched down in her first multidimensional prison, but she arrived only 24 days into it and people were usually on the same page about wanting to get out and not settle in. She still wants to get out. She just wants control over where she goes.]
