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!]

[She's in the center as promised, starting through some basic strength stuff. She's been at this whole thing for a while, so she's already kind of dripping sweat and beginning to really feel it. At the same time it's normal for her. Hange pauses to wave at him anyway.]

You feel up for more?

[catamite]

[he offers the container of water out to her once he's close enough. he's still smiling, but he looks tired. this is already more than he's done in a long time--barring a few flights for his life here and there.]

Yeah. What next?

[aberrant_type]

[Aw, how sweet. She accepts it and takes a drink before handing it back.]

Core and upper body! If you know some different exercises, you should speak up.

[catamite]

[he shakes his head]

I don't know anything special, really.

[aberrant_type]

Well, then I can teach you what I know. You aren't one of my recruits, so you're not obligated to continue if it feels like too much, all right?

[catamite]

Okay!

[he's just going to keep this up until he passes out]

[aberrant_type]

[YOU KNOW WHAT she's just going to go drag him to his feet before/at the moment that happens]

Woah there, little guy, I told you to take it easy!

[catamite]

Oops... sorry...

I probably should have drank more water.

[or have done something better with his life and picked up some coping skills]

[aberrant_type]

[She... goes to gallantly sweep him up. His hero.]

Where's your ship?

[catamite]

In one of the docks...?

[aberrant_type]

[She will carry him back. UwU]

Are your ears standard where you're from, by the way?

[catamite]

[he thinks this is weird... but he also recognizes that it would be a silly thing to comment on or complain about in the grand scheme of how strange everything else is]

My ears... oh, because they're pointy?

That's how you can tell when someone's an elf.

[aberrant_type]

[Don't sweat it Nel... enjoy being a fragile princess.

Oh man anyway. How exciting... she landed a nonhuman completely by mistake?? OvO]

What's an elf?

[catamite]

I'm an elf.

...Well, three-quarters, anyway.

[aberrant_type]

[... tempted to take him back to the Red Fish... where her lab is...]

Hmm. Well, do elves differ from humans in any significant way you know of? Besides the ears?

[catamite]

[he... would not realize until he was well into the belly of the ship... :| ]

Yeah, their bodies are pretty different. Like... how their eyes work and getting sick and stuff.

...It's weird that no one seems to know what they are. They're all over the place back home.

[aberrant_type]

A lot of things that are common here aren't where I'm from...

[No... no. She can't just steal the little guy.]

Say, do you mind if I give you a checkup? I'd feel better making sure you're all right, after you falling down like that?

[catamite]

A checkup?

[he frowns just a little]

You're a doctor?

[aberrant_type]

I sure am! It's part of the specialty they gave me here.

[catamite]

Oh... well, I feel fine.

I don't think I need a doctor.

[aberrant_type]

Regular checkups are important to keep track of your baseline condition, and you did just have a spill! I'd feel better if you let me check up.

[catamite]

[he's definitely looking something kind of nervous]

I don't usually go to regular doctors...

[aberrant_type]

[She doesn't actually want to scare, hurt or even really upset him, even though she's curious, so...]

Tell you what... why don't we keep it to an eye exam and some reflex testing and hearing testing? No needles, nothing invasive.

[catamite]

[he thinks about it for a second, going over each thing through his head and making sure it checks out. finally, he nods.]

Okay.

[aberrant_type]

[Ah, then she won't even be subtle about scooping him right along into the Red Fish. She's already kind of planning her process.]

How old are you, kiddo?
