Does anyone here even hunt

[hearsthesea]

Who: SS Huntress and friends, visitors, pet bears, etc.
Broadcast: If desired!
Action: SS Huntress
When: Now!

[New crew! New upgrades! New world! ...And Varric in a coma for the duration of March, which is maybe slightly concerning.

For the other members of the Huntress, though, it should prove to be an interesting month.]

[He wants to let himself bask in that promise, however tenuous and conditional, of protection. But down that path madness lies- he already chose somebody to put his heart in the hands of, and he chose wrong. The wrongest. Then, idiocies of idiocies, he did it again, and he was wrong, again.]

Well, isn't it true that as a group we're better suited to watch over each other than just as individuals?

[It might give Chris some insight, albeit unintentionally, into what the hell Komaeda is staking out Varric's unconscious body for.]

[misconceived]

Well, yeah, of course. Keeping each other accountable. [ He gives a half-point to Komaeda. ] Or... like a buddy system. Call me crazy, but buddying with an unconscious guy isn't much help.

[hopefullyyours]

Mmm, but you have Shirley, so.... [So, unconscious dwarf? Sure! Why not.]

... [Wait, didn't he hear something earlier?] Er- hang on, did we get somebody new? I was kind of spacing out, but now that I think about it, I did hear some hubbub!

[misconceived]

Yeah, we've got another crewmate. [ Man, how out of it have you been, kid? ] He seems all right... probably a better buddy than Doc right now.

[hopefullyyours]

Ah. I'll probably- well, definitely- [like, come on, there's no way he wouldn't] run into him eventually.

Haha, but I don't know about that. I'm... a little rough on introductions, after all, though it isn't surprising of a total waste like myself. [He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees, and covers his hidden hand with his good one.] Anyway, this new planet seems interesting, doesn't it?

Do you have any plans for visiting?

[misconceived]

Yeah, I do. Looks right up my alley. In... a sense. [ That sense being they probably stock the kind of shit he uses more than most other waystations or planets might. ]

You going to tough it out here?

[hopefullyyours]

Oh, is that so? I hadn't realized, since you mentioned mobile phones. I guess it just means I'm getting more used to people having very different backgrounds, huh.

[He feels like he might have changed a little since coming here. Just a little, but....]

Ah, I might go down and check a few things out for myself.

[misconceived]

Well yeah, I'm from somewhere modern but... you could say I've got an interest in herbalism.

[ Chris gestures vaguely as if toward the shuttles. ]

If you want to, I'll even take up Doc-watch.

[hopefullyyours]

Hm. I mostly just like tea, myself. I haven't had a good cup in quite a while. Still, I guess that does sound like something Mor would have in one form or another.

[Komaeda gives Chris a half-smile, standing up and stretching as he does.]

I don't want to be a burden, but if you're willing, I'll go take a look. Would you like me to bring you back anything while I'm out? [... hey, wait:] 'Doc?'

[misconceived]

It's way more likely than coffee. You might as well try.

[ Oh good, it worked. Creepy kid is moving away from Varric for a while. Nothing personal Komaeda, you are creepy. ]

Nah, I'll pick up whatever I need next time I'm down. [ That gets a bit of a grin. ] You know, like the Seven Dwarves? Except maybe I should call him Snow White now.

[hopefullyyours]

[Pausing in the door frame, he tips his head this way and that.] I don't know if he'd like that or not. Like, I mean.... is that a sensitive topic for dwarves? I literally don't know. We only have humans where I come from.

[Nagito Komaeda: asking the big questions.]

[misconceived]

Pretty sure he doesn't even have the story where he's from.

[ His head dips. ]

Besides, ones I know are pretty okay with it. Big part of their ancestral history and all.

[hopefullyyours]

... Come to think of it, I wonder what the various fairy tales of people's childhoods are.

[Komaeda's eyebrows furrow as he looks up at the ceiling studiously.]

Ah. Chris, you're so experienced! I think we're really lucky to have somebody like you onboard.
