open mingle post;

[payback]

Who: Everyone on the waystation!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: open to everyone to tag into
When: October 11, 2014

[It sure is a lovely day actually pretty much indeterminate time period out here in the vast darkness of space, isn't it? I bet everyone's enjoying themselves, getting a chance to get off their dinky little ship and stretch their legs. Even on this shitty, empty little waystation.

Where are you, droot flooters? What are you up to? Stay out of trouble, now.]

[ooc: hi everyone! I thought I'd give this a try and see how the game liked it. What we have here is a mass mingle post. Rather than everyone making a bunch of different posts about landing on the station, everyone is invited to post a parent comment with their character out and about, doing something. Everyone else is invited to look at who's posted, tag them, post their own parent comments, thread jack, tag around and generally have a grand old time! It should hopefully be a nice low-pressure way to do some action tagging with each other.

Please tag in if you feel so inclined! Don't be shy to tag around!]

[as he goes wandering by, a little dude with pointy ears and dressed like some kind of club-kid kind of changes his path to head in Crowley's direction instead.

as he gets close, he puts on a friendly smile, despite looking kind of strung-out anyway.]

Hey, you okay?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a lopsided smile.]

I am now I'm getting much needed alcohol into my system.

[catamite]

[he instinctively grins back. gonna play this cool, like he's totally not drawn to booze like a moth to a flame]

Oh yeah? Space doesn't seem so bad now?

[onlyanapple]

[Of course not.]

Space will always seem bad. But this makes it a little more bearable.

[catamite]

It's pretty boring, huh?

[wandering closer, looking as friendly as he can]

[onlyanapple]

[No, you shoo.]

For a while, until it becomes interesting in the worst possible way.

...What do you want? What's with the sneaking over thing?

[catamite]

[his eyes widen, surprised!]

What, me? I wasn't trying to sneak...

[onlyanapple]

Yes you were. You're being a prime sneaker.

[catamite]

I... am?

[he kind of looks around like he's trying to figure out how this could be possible]

But it's all bright out here. How could I be sneaking...?

[onlyanapple]

You can be in broad daylight and still be sneaking.

[catamite]

[he's not approaching anymore, at least. and he's looking a little nervous and sad now...]

I was just coming over to say hi...

[onlyanapple]

[No don't look sad and appeal to his pretend non-existent feelings.]

Well, hello.

...What ship're you on? [Look. Conversation.]

[catamite]

[watch those heartstrings, man. this kid's got a good kicked-puppy look]

Um. [he has to think about it for a moment] Three Twins?

...It's kind of hard to remember the name of it, with everything else going on, y'know?

[onlyanapple]

Ah, I'm n Pathstone.

It is, but I'm sure it'll be an important thing to remember, at some point. When the insanity inevitably kicks in.

[catamite]

[oh. his eyes get a little bit wider with concern.]

...Insanity?

[onlyanapple]

Oh yes, the last place I was in threw a lot of insanity round whenever we went into space. Look out for giant rocks to worship or creepy spiky vortexes into Hell.

[catamite]

Is that... what happens in space?

[he's going to have nightmares]

[onlyanapple]

It's happened whenever I've gone into space. But that was under the thrall of a sentient, evil castle, so things might be different now we're under the thrall of a sentient, evil reality TV show.

[catamite]

That castle again...

[at least that seems to be a running theme with the people he's talked to. if they're all crazy, at least they're consistent]

Do you really think that will happen here? I've never been to space before.

[onlyanapple]

Paradisa. You've spoken to some other vetrans, I take it?


I don't know, given we're riding about in spaceships, I'd say the chances of going into space are fairly high.

[catamite]

No, I... I meant the going-crazy thing...

[onlyanapple]

Oh.

Well, that's always fifty-fifty. You'll never know until it happens.

...Actually, you might not even know then.

[catamite]

...What do you mean?

[D:]

[onlyanapple]

Well, if you're really deep in the crazies, you might think you're being perfectly sane and everyone else has gone crazy around you.

[catamite]

That's how that works?

And it just happens?
