driftfleet | (no subject)

Who: Rick Grimes and You. (OTA).
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: All around (the ships, Iskaulit etc).
When: Now and onward! Basically, catch all for July.

A. Exploring/Investigation.

[ Given there are now more places to roam around and with his job as security, Rick will be doing just that. No matter where he might be, Rick will have paper and pen in hand, making notes that might appear to not make any sense given they'll be in morse code. He'll also ask questions to anyone who wanders by him, especially about the augments and job details.

When it comes to being on the Iskaulit, Rick will be trying to be find edible food and working out. He needs to run off excess nerves and energy. Also, trying to find a decent drink. So, bother him. ]

B. Glitch!

[ A slight augment glitch will make it so Rick sounds British for a little while but still with hints of his country twang and speech patterns. It'll be a mess and completely frustrating for him. ]

C. Video.

[ Another sudden change left Rick more frustrated than ever but the loss of Daryl and Maggie just twisted a knife worse in him. What happened? Did they return home or had something far worse happened to them? He wanted to believe the former but experience led him to always holding onto the latter.

With a deep sigh, he grabbed for the device to see what the network had to say about things. ]

Everyone is in different places now? [ He paused with a frown. ] Do people leave a lot? Just without warnin'? [ Now, he shook his head, looking sad for a moment. ]

If anybody needs any help with target practice, let me know. [ It would make things feel a little more level for him. Almost like how things were in Alexandria. ]

D. Wild Card.

[ anything else not listed above! if anyone wants to plot or want a starter, hit me up at

snowflakecrowns. also, the glitch will basically be Rick with Andrew Lincoln's accent. can be listened to here and Rick's accent here! ]

Not in this situation, no, but I've been in situations like it before I got here.

-- And just how similar were these situations?

[ she's not combative. only curious. eager to collect reports, descriptions, understandings of all the places others have come from. ]

[ A sigh passed through his lips as memories drifted back over him. Each one more foul than the last but at least he knew the score then. On the ship, there were far too many unknown elements and it troubled him deeply. ]

Where I come from, the world had ended. Dead was risin' and causin' issues for everybody. My group - we spent a lot of time out there, fightin' everyday for our lives but then we found some place. We started to believe we could settle there and make a new life. For awhile we did and it grew comfortable.

[ He shook his head. ]

The place even when it was threatened, we didn't start fightin' like we shoulda. We accepted our situation and didn't want anythin' to mess with that. But we ended up losin' it because we didn't strike when we could. We waited too late and lost our chance.

[ peggy listens. even forced to read between the lines, the tale is gruesome. and she can understand how someone might come to distrust stability. although -- it's not as thought the fleet really offered it. stability. not for most, even if it's nevertheless the most stable she's felt in years. ]

I'm terribly sorry. [ sympathy, not apology. ] For what it's worth, I do believe a middle ground can be found -- to be prepared, but not worn thin by it.
