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!]

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.

[catamite]

...Like drink?

[nodding toward the bottle]

[onlyanapple]

[He puts a hand protectively around aforementioned bottle.]

If you're that way inclined.

[catamite]

[he nods, so sad and pathetic...]

Yeah, that kind of thing would make this all easier...

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley ain't buying it.]

Well, lucky for you, we're in a place where it's all free and abundant.

[catamite]

[he's like a sad, sober puppy]

It's not, though. It's really hard to find...

[onlyanapple]

[No he hates puppies, don't look at him with that tone.]

Well, that's a shame, some of us used our hard earned money getting our booze.

[His resolve is crumbling a little.]

[catamite]

[but Crowley it's just so tragic...]

I had to buy important things. And now I don't have any money to buy anything else with...

[he has other things he can trade, but that's a different matter]

[onlyanapple]

[Nooo.]

Alcohol is an important thing. You got your priorities messed up.

[He takes a drink, then sighs, pushing the bottle to one side, it still has most of the contents still inside.]

Whatever, it tastes like lighter fluid anyway.
