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!]

Because it's a lot of effort and I refuse to sit there and fill out endless forms. Hell's enough of a bureaucracy, I know how this sort of thing works. It gets lost in the system and you have to fill it out a hundred times and eventually, maybe you'll get a response. After about a thousand years.

[ Oh man, that's a little more than her lifespan. ]

...that long? Really?

[ Oh man, she REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE THAT LONG. ]

[onlyanapple]

Sometimes it takes even longer. That time span is only if you're lucky.

[amarant]

You must be...experienced with such long waits?

[onlyanapple]

Oh yes, I'm well used to them.

[amarant]

[ .......... ]

I couldn't begin to imagine.

[onlyanapple]

[He gives her a long look.]

No. You probably couldn't.

[amarant]

[ Nice "probably," there. ]

I wouldn't much like to, either.

[onlyanapple]

[He's good like that.]

Probably not. Not everyone is cut out for it.

[amarant]

Being cut out for it or not doesn't change who has to put up with that sort of thing, though. Does it?

[onlyanapple]

Not really, but if it's dumped on you, you either learn to deal with it or go batshit crazy and start talking to invisible people in the corner wearing tinfoil hats.

[amarant]

I...I see.

[ Well, that's a nice outlook. ]

[onlyanapple]

[Cheerful smile.] So there you go.

[amarant]

[ CONSIDERABLY LESS CHEERFUL........ ]

I appreciate the...insight.

[onlyanapple]

You're welcome.
