Broadcast: Video.
Action: Bloodsport.
When: Now-ish!

VIDEO BROADCAST A.

[Sam has been mostly doing his usual thing - that is, collecting information about the new place, primarily the unnatural wild life. He even got a pet rock for shits and giggles, though he has kind of abandoned it on his little desk in his room, which he's finally sitting down at after a long day of working. He's humored himself in buying something more rocker-style, all thanks to some of the interesting shops down on the asteroid belts. With a grin he says -- ]

Well? Let's hear it: weird crap you've bought, go.

[He slides the pet rock box over, chuckling.]

... These were popular for a short time on earth, in the 70's. Some guy just... chatted with some buds in a bar about how hard it was to take care of actual pets, so he made these and sold over a million of them -- in fact, it made him a millionaire. Pretty impressively weird, right? Maybe even the most successful selling of weird. Unless you guys can top that.

At least Beanie Babies are kind of cute on a shelf. A pet rock -- who knows.

But now I can fit in with everyone who has an animal aboard. I bet you guys 20 credits mine is easier to potty train.



VIDEO BROADCAST B.

Demons. They can be a pain in the ass.

I guess this is mostly just something I tend to do from time to time -- um. Sigils, symbols, they're extremely important in my world. Some banish certain creatures, and some trap them. But the most important sigils you can learn are the ones to keep the supernatural out. Of you, that is.

[He holds up a hand.]

Now, before I offer this... Just keep in mind that demons differ from world to world. And some of them are surprisingly decent people. I'm sure a lot of you are thinking of Crowley, here. And Crowley is probably rolling his eyes at the thought people think he's decent. I'm not going to teach methods of killing them here or anything severe like that unless I have trust that you're not going to go ganking just anyone... but I want to keep people safeguarded if I can. Especially when I know at least one demon from my world has been here before [even if she is a semi-decent awful demon, xoxo meg], and the way demons from my world co-exist with humanity is by possessing their body against their wills.

[ATTACHMENT: SIGIL.]

This is an anti-possession ward. You put it anywhere on your person, and it effectively blocks them out from entering and controlling your body. There are a few others I could teach you guys -- mainly for keeping back creatures like wendigo and soul eaters, and I know a little witchcraft... nothing special. Um. If there's any rabid hell hounds around, I also know the method to dealing with those.

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

I don't know. I feel like I should be doing what I usually do at some point, I guess. Helping people out in case something tries to eat them, you know? And possession isn't a laughing matter. It's terrifying. But, you know, I also don't want to accidentally get anyone who isn't human killed or hurt.

... I got to admit, supernatural beings here are................ mellow. I'm usually expecting to them trying to eat my brain, or my liver, or my eyeballs. Or all of the above, with a bonus helping of soul. So, um. Bear with me.

[I learned a lot the last, like, three years in another universe. Good fun.

BUT STILL, A HUNTER IS A HUNTER IS A HUNTER.]

Good God, I'll not be playing chess with him. [ but she won't explain why. ] I never did fathom rock collecting. Even duller than stamps, really.

You paid money. For rocks.

[ sam she grew up in the twenties. she doesn't even pay to rent a room with a telephone in it. spending money on rocks? you're crazy. ]

Are you saying the price's gone up? [ -- how has she been here this long and no one's explained inflation to her? it's a mystery. ]
mucked: (☂ from all signs of mad mankind)

Crumbs. Steve neglected to mention that part -- [ look, he's already pried from her the 'couple' designation, might as well go whole hog on the awkward distance between them. ] Just as well. It's a bit daunting to consider surviving so much change.
mucked: (☂ i laughed and shook his hand)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-30 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Really? [ ... ] I tinker with Steve's all the time. It's remarkably simple, really.

[ or it is when you've got a brain well-wired for coding. ]
mucked: (☂ got nothing to lose)

I suppose I can empathize. I've -- well, I've actually been in one of those 'entire' rooms. [ she'd not thought so much of it at the time, but: ] Winn, over on the Tourist, assures me what I've experienced might as well have been the birth of computing as he knows it.
