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!]

[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?

[onlyanapple]

Generally, yes. I mean, some insanity just creeps up on you, but you probably wouldn't notice it.

[catamite]

...So what should I do?

[he earnestly asks the totally trustworthy demon]

[onlyanapple]

To prevent it happening? Buggered if I know. Always have a buddy?

[catamite]

[he's going to kind of finish wandering those last few steps closer, because he's totally going to plop down near Crowley if he can, looking pretty distraught and distracted]

...This sucks.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley doesn't seem to mind, now he knows his alcohol is safe.]

It could suck more. This isn't as bad as it could be.

[catamite]

[it's safe. FOR NOW.]

I don't know... going crazy without realizing it sounds pretty bad.

[onlyanapple]

At least you've be in a sweet, crazy oblivion.

[catamite]

What kind of crazy is it?

[maybe he can catch the signs early if he really tries]

[onlyanapple]

I don't know, it's different every time.

[catamite]

...So are we supposed to just sit around and wait to go crazy?

[onlyanapple]

Oh no, there's lots of other things to do before we go crazy, in my experience.
