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.]

I mean it though. We aren't being attacked by cannibals or walkers. I'm not saying let our guard down but this is different, isn't it? You're still safe there. I hope.

[She has to otherwise it's only going to make her more anxious waiting to see where she'll be sent to herself.]

I couldn't really sleep either. I dunno when I even fell asleep.

[It had been restless for her too. As it was, night and day felt mostly the same when she looked out those windows. Frankly, she wouldn't be surprised if he'd had to witness her having a nightmare or two about Beth or Glenn. Some nights she still couldn't get her sister out of her head, when she let her guard down. It wasn't surprising, honestly. The whole group was well and truly traumatized to varying degrees.]

Just, ah.. just be safe, okay? Until I get there. I'll come find you. No ship is keeping me put for long.

Not yet. I've heard things about how this augment thing can change you. Make things happen.

[ Best case scenario, people get hurt. Worst case scenario? People die. ]

I'll be fine. Not much you can do from up there, right? [ So he'll have to be okay. ]

[That certainly sets off alarm bells. The last thing she wants is to leave Carl alone with a cannibal or worse.]

Just - keep a weapon on you. If you can figure out how to steal a gun that you can use, do it. Keep it handy. I will find a way to get to you.

[No way in hell is she going to let them stay separated. As soon as she could come off the Marsiva she'd go to him.]

I don't plan on not at least having a knife. Hope I can get something better soon.

[ What he wouldn't do for a gun right about now.. ]

I don't think anybody on the ship is dangerous.

No, but it's like you said - somethin' could go wrong with the augment and then where would you be?

[Maybe that's just the paranoia talking. Either way she would feel infinitely better if she was there with him.]

I'll take care of myself, Maggie. Mostly they're just...weird.

[ It's not said like it's a bad thing, but definitely something he's never come across before. ]

If you mean by the insanely nice people who've talked to me so far? Yeah, it is a bit weird. No one's panicking. No one's trying to find a way to leave, that I can tell. Though, I'm still on the Marsiva. You've got a better view of things from there.

It's the same down here. They're all going through the day like this is normal. I don't like it..

[ Then again, he's like his dad. He can't seem to relax. Not when everything is so bizarre. ]

Maybe that's how they've learned to cope. To put up a front. To distance themselves from the truth.

[She's already learned how to do that since things went badly in the beginning. It didn't change how lonely she'd become, until Glenn and the others arrived.]

People... they get lonely and want to find somethin' good to hold onto, no matter how or where it comes from. From the sounds of it, there's people who've been here a long time. Months... to a year at most, probably.

I don't want to be here a year.

[ He's already worried about his dad and Judith, he can't see that ebbing the longer he stays. Neither of them can be here an entire year.. They have lives back home and people to look after.

It's not the sort of front Carl wants to put up, that's for damn sure. ]

And I do?

[Gives him a look as if to say 'we're in the same boat, kid']

We'll figure somethin' out. There's no way we'll be stuck here a year.

No, I mean-- [ He shakes his head. That's not what he meant at all and didn't want to sound like he did. ]

We'll get home. Both of us.

Here's hoping. No one else seems too fussed about it, that's for sure.

[Except that one guy who wanted a drink. Really, was now the time to be getting shitfaced? She didn't think so.]

I don't want to get to that point. We have to get home. For my dad and Judith-- for Glenn.

[ If they lose the will to get home, will they be stuck here forever? ]

We'll get home.

[She was determined about that, for sure.]

We'll get home and it'll be like we were never gone. Don't worry about that. We'll make it happen.

I hope you're right.

[ He's uncertain, at this point. He doesn't plan on getting comfortable in this place. ]
