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!]

[Gee thanks Riku. If it makes you feel better, Kaneis is pretty damn weird too]

Don't blame yourself, it's nice you're thinking that way.

[He shrugs, trying to make it not like it's a big deal. It does hurt but...whatever will be, will be.]

But...no. The dead don't come back in my world. Even if there was a way for me to go back, I'm pretty sure all it'd do is cause a lot more problems.

[ he meant actually having friends is weird jeez

but its okay yeah you're also weird ]

Mm. [ he almost wants to ask if he'd prefer...

but that seems out of line. they aren't that close yet. he's not sure he'd ask anyone that, honestly, despite how close they are. if they prefer death... riku doesn't even want to think about that. ]

Maybe you'll find a decent planet. I don't know if they'd send you back to Exsilium or not.

[Hahah yeah good call Riku. That is a pretty complicated question when it comes to Kaneis. He knows by now maybe he doesn't want to die...but as to what else he'd do...]

Ephinea.

[He just blurts the name out, like that's supposed to make sense or something. Hell, with his memories all fuzzy- it barely makes sense to him]

Before I got brought here, I think...I was trying to go to a place called Ephinea.

[limitstorm]

[ riku turns his gaze to him when he suddenly speaks, and then he gives a quiet hum. ]

Ephinea...

I'll keep that in mind.

[wilder]

[He smirks a little]

You just keep focused on the problems I'm sure you've already undertaken. I'll find my own way.

[He's...not sure what will be at Ephinea, the memories are still so hazy. Hell, he's not even sure if it's the name of a planet or a town or what-- but he has a feeling there's people waiting for him. A life waiting for him. That's good enough, right?]

[limitstorm]

[ he looks at him and then shakes his head. ]

I don't know what kind of world you come from, but sharing something like that, in my world, means someone's got your back.

I'll handle my problems, but don't think you're going it alone.

[wilder]

Yeah, sure, you say that now- but I know your type. You'll put all your problems on only your shoulders, and then you'll try to pile everyone else's problems on there too. Then you wonder why your blood pressure's so high.

I just rather not add to that.

[limitstorm]

I know exactly why I'm stressed out, and believe me, helping people with their problems isn't part of it.

[ he rolls his eyes, but it's good-naturedly. ]

Don't worry about it, alright? Never thought you were a worrier.

[wilder]

I'm not a worrier. It's just- what was it you said? "Someone's got your back"? That's all. I'm just trying to have your back.

[He makes a point to look behind Riku at his back]

Your very tensed, stressed out back-- seriously, have you ever considered getting a massage? Sheesh!

[He might be joking around about that part]

[limitstorm]

[ riku almost immediately straightens, cheeks tinging again. ]

I don't like people touching my back.

[ a moment; ]

But having my back is different.
