Who: Cullen Rutherford
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: The Marsiva
When: Now.

[It's with some hesitance that Cullen even touches the console. He knows how it works (somehow), but he's not exactly comfortable with the concept of broadcasting. His lips are set in a thin, grim line for a few moments as he thinks of what to say.]

--Maker's breath, this is absurd.

[That just about sums up his thoughts right now.]

Comments

[serves]

[It occurs to him that this is vaguely reminiscent of talking to Cole. Spirits, plants--sure, why not.]

And you were brought here with the rest of us?

[innercactus]

I woke up here, instead of where I went to sleep. That means brought.

I think.

[serves]

Yes. Brought.

[What... does he even do now.]

[innercactus]

[ Hmmmn. Good question.

Asteffiel studies him a little more, then goes back to his original questions. ]

Then who is 'Maker'?

[serves]

Our creator. Do you not believe in one? [Seeds? A giant farmer in the sky?]

[innercactus]

... You mean like Mother? [ so close. Golden fruit pods. ]

We live under and about Mother, because she is The Pale Tree, and very big!

[serves]

I... suppose. [Where is Jove where is his Inquisitor she is much better at this stuff than he is.]

[innercactus]

.... Unless you are talking about where Mother's seed came from.

[ He doesn't...

Well technically he does but he refuses to think on it. ]

[serves]

That would be you, would it not? The... seed. [Why is he even going on with this conversation--]

[innercactus]

I meant where Mother came from. Mother is a tree. [ Said a little slowly like he isn't sure that the guy is getting that trees have to come from seeds too. ]

We wake up from pods.

[serves]

[Cullen is no expert on plant life.]

I... suppose you would, wouldn't you.

[innercactus]

[ .... This human is hard to talk to.

So clearly its time for a topic change. ]

Are you hungry? I found the thing that makes food.

[serves]

Do you even eat the same things I eat?

[He mentioned a root thing. Something weird about this thing eating mutton and stew... and vegetables...]

[innercactus]

.. Do you not eat meat and vegetables and fruit?

[ That isn't what he found to eat, but it is what he would normally eat. ]

[serves]

I... do, yes.

[innercactus]

So do I!

[ He doesn't see where the weirdness comes in about him eating vegetables. ]

Someone on the ... communicator? showed me how to make a machine give me stuff that tastes like vegetables. I didn't find any fruit or meat settings though...
