driftfleet | [voice/action] comas are fun?????

Who: Doudanuki & All Y'all
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Caprine
When: August 14th, aka right now

Action: Caprine

[Anyone on the Caprine can probably hear when Doudanuki wakes up because he does so by yelling loudly as he jumps out of bed. He can't remember the last time he was awake and that concerns him - a lot.

So fellow Capriners will probably hear him as he thunders around checking on people or trying to figure out why the hell he was unconscious for an entire month. How he greets them depends on whether he knows them yet or not:

For new characters to the Caprine since June]

...And who're you supposed to be?

[For characters he knows already]

Hey. What the hell happened to everyone?

Voice: Network
[Later, after he realizes that comas are just things that happen because why not? This place is insane enough already.

And then he's at the comms station and notices something weird.]

What happened to that other ship? What the hell did you guys do while I was asleep??

Namin' things here can't be all that different from your home, can it? Someone else just got to it first for once.

[you old man, you]

Someone, somewhere must know what the Marsiva really is.

Maybe, and maybe not - I really don't know how things work, out here! And I'm sure someone does - the only question is who, and how we find out.

Punch everyone until they tell us. That usually works.

[ That makes him laugh ]

Doudanuki! [ He scolds ] You can't punch everyone!

Watch me.

[Is that a challenge? It sounds like a challenge. HE WILL TAKE YOU UP ON THIS CHALLENGE.]

Doudanuki!

[ Maglor shakes his head ]

You are going to wind up in trouble, at this rate! Kindly remember you spent weeks asleep because of the whim of our 'hosts' - I would rather you not come to harm.

[WHAT

He stares at the camera for a moment, then gives it a shrug, crossing his arms over his chest and sitting back like a sullen child.]

Bein' in trouble would be better'n sittin' around doing nothing. And it's not like anyone here can really break me. I'm basically rustin' away from lack of anything to do.

[ Maglor sighs ]

Doudanuki, if you knock them all out, who are you going to question?

The smart ones who talk before I kick the crap outta them.

[Duh]

And if our hosts decide you are more trouble than you are worth and send you home?

[He stares at Maglor, confused for a moment.]

Ain't goin' home the point of this place? I got a war to get back to and my Saniwa's mission to uphold.

Yes, but if you want information, you can't be so obvious that they simply throw you out. Or you may have escaped, but the rest of us will still be stuck!

[..........................................oh.

The realization dawns on him slowly, but once it does, he huffs and crosses his arms over his chest, sitting back.]

So I can't fight 'em, can't interrogate 'em, so what can I do? I'm not exactly a strategist here.

[ Oh Doudanuki ]

You still can - you just have to be smart about it. For example, I would suggest rather than simply randomly punching people, I would start asking around for someone important that you can punch.

[ maglor no ]

But if I ask around, won't they just lie and not tell me?

It'd probably be faster to punch 'em a couple times and then ask.

That depends on how you ask, no? I would suggest only punching them once, and not too hard. That way, you can suggest that information will make you punch them less.

Well yeah, that's what I figured I'd do. Or punch one of 'em senseless where the others can see and tell 'em if they don't want that to happen, they should tell me everything they know.

That was not what you suggested earlier. [ Maglor points out, amused ] But yes, something like that would work, although I think that punching senseless is more likely to get you spotted by our "hosts"

[UGH WHY ARE YOU SMART] Whatever. I can change tactics when I wanna.

[and he's totally not sulking right now]

If they spotted me, maybe they'd come down to get me and we could all dogpile 'em and beat the shit outta them.

[ It's called: Being Older Than You ]

You know as well as I do that they would never appear physically - not for so minor a provocation as that! Likely, you'd wake up back home or back on the ships here with no knowledge of how it happened.

Yeah, so I should make it not minor. Maybe I'll blow up a ship or something.

We live on the ships!

I'll choose one that we aren't living on, duh.

Which only leaves the Iskaulit - which has the forge, I remind you - or the Marsiva which we can't access!

[Honestly, Maglor, you're taking all the fun out of his life.]

Ugh, you're makin' this way too hard.
