Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Nariba Relia
When: During their time on the planet

[Action]

[This city make Fenris uneasy- he knows he's not the only one, not by a long shot. Anything abandoned that quickly has to have something unfortunate underlying it all. The fact that everything resets itself is only more cause for concern. Is it some kind of time loop? Were he in Exsilium, that would have been his first thought.

He can be found on the days while they're here, wandering around the system tense- muscles coiled and ready for a fight at every turn. He doesn't indulge in the free offerings, and gives heavy glares to anyone who does so in his presence. He avoids the movie theatre and carnival on principle, but he might be tempted over there, if the right person were to ask.]

[Network]

[Fenris can't remember the last time he actually made a post on the network. It's not something he tends to do, he rarely uses the blighted thing at all, if he can help it. He's never been one for drawing too much attention to himself.]

Has anyone else observed the changeover yet? I attempted it last night, but it went by far too quickly.

[And that's it, no hello, no goodbye. Brief and to the point as always.]

Action

[apurrstate]

[It wasn't so much that they were exploring the area together so much as they'd left separately and happened upon each other about a block back. Now they were in one of the stores that seemed to host everything from clothing materials to food to tools and Anders had picked up one of the pears. Much to Fenris' apparent discontent?? Not that Fenris disapproving of something Anders randomly does is at all strange still, despite everything. Anders turns as he catches the look and shrugs, brow raised.]

What? It's a piece of fruit.

Action forever!

[wolfuncaged]

A piece of fruit that has been cultivated by no one- that seemingly appears from nothing. Isn't that even a little suspicious to you?

[Not like their Fleet food comes from nowhere, either, of course.]

[apurrstate]

[He scoffed.]

Absolutely.

But, also, it's a pear. And not protein paste.

[Do you know how long it's been since he's had a pear? Don't take this from him with your logic, Fenris.]

[wolfuncaged]

There are apples on the Iskaulit, are those not enough?

[They're not the same thing, Fenris, come on. ]

<sub>[ The planet creeped him out. End of story. Period. Do not collect two hundred dollars. Everything about the town made him twitch, his mind racing with possible reasons, not enough data, not enough solid answers. Yes, it made him twitch. But nonetheless he wanted to explore. Add into it the fact he wanted to spend some more time with Fenris, especially after their last tiff on the other planet over that mafia business,

It wasn't exactly a romantic notion, but he did have a notion in mind. Which was why he came to Fenris' door on the ship and knocked, already dressed to go down to the planet. ]</sub>

action

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris was already preparing to traverse the planet again, so when he answers the door, his armour is already on. He doubts there will be any real trouble, but it's better to be safe than sorry. He offers Kirk a brief smile, at least. ]

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Re: action

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk smiled back, glad to see the armor. It hopefully meant he wouldn’t be putting Fenris out. ]}

I was going to head down dirt side. Would you like to come with me? I thought about maybe exploring a bit outside the town.

action

[wolfuncaged]

Certainly, I was headed that way myself. I want to try and understand more of what is happening here.

[aetherflows]

[Alphinaud is also unsettled by the planet and its consequence-free offers. Something about it seems just wrong, and he isn't sure what he thinks of the food, besides. Fenris walks by while Alphinaud is in what can be considered the city center, with a pencil in one hand, and a sketchbook in the other.

The tattoos don't even faze him. Fenris is obviously his people, even if slightly shorter people; Alphinaud is four and a half feet tall so he can't judge here. He even has a posh accent.]

I beg your pardon, but might you know which direction bears north?

action;

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris is never, and will never be, a fan of other elves. He instantly tenses as Alphinaud comes closer, expecting some elf-y bullshit question he has no intention of answering. Luckily, it's not, and he exhales.

He turns, pointing. ]

Around that way, I should imagine.

Action

[bryces_pup]

Strange, isn't it?

[Of course it is, and given how wound tight he seems, she discerns that he's extremely uneasy about being here. She smiles on purpose, hoping to try and relax him a fraction.]

At least no crowds? No one pushing you in line, or bumping into you. Nice and quiet, too.

Action

[wolfuncaged]

I suppose there is that- though honestly, it's...not much better.

[His frown deepens. ]

It reminds me of Exsilium. After the nuclear winter. When everyone was dead.

[bryces_pup]

[...she's kind of afraid to ask.]

What's a nuclear winter? And why was everyone dead?

[wolfuncaged]

[Oh boy, he wishes she hadn't asked that one. He pauses, frowning, trying to find the best way to voice it. ]

Well. First there is a bomb- a nuclear bomb, they make it by- [no, let's not make it complicated] well, there's lots of science involved, but it's a very dangerous bomb, because it releases radiation- which kills everything living within a certain area where it's released. Miles.

A nuclear winter is the result of one of those bombs going off- that's what they call it, when everything is dead, and everything just freezes for a while. Because the dust from the bomb blocks the sun- killing anything the radiation didn't get.

[samahl]

[When Cyril sees Fenris investigating he can't help the smile that comes to his face. He ventures over to the other elf, making sure that he's seen, and offers him a gentle greeting.]

I believe when we were hoping for a calmer community with simple issues this is not what we had in mind.

[action]

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris appreciates Cyril's efforts. Much better to not be sneaked up on, in a place like this. ]

Hmm. I think this went a little too far in the other direction.

[samahl]

I'm starting to think they take pleasure in not listening to what we want.

[Said sarcastically. Because of course that's the truth.]

[wolfuncaged]

Maker forbid! I never until now realised they never had our best interests at heart.

[Sarcasm, he can do. ]

video.

[edwinjarvis]

I haven't been able to see the changeover, myself... Mostly due to the fact that I try to keep to a decent sleep schedule. [JARVIS THAT IS A USELESS PIECE OF INFORMATION.] ... I can imagine you're concerned as well, with how empty this planet seems to be.

video.

[wolfuncaged]

Good, I'm glad that you are trying that.

[No more overworking for YOU, Mister Mister. ]

Hmm. It seems...worryingly empty- as if something happened to everyone who was here, all at once. The fact the homes remain spotless, that it seems to reset itself. I'm concerned it might be a time-loop.

video.

[edwinjarvis]

A time-loop, you say? I suppose that's possible... Though I wonder if whatever we take disappears when it resets. If we're able to keep the supplies we receive, then perhaps it's not just a time-loop, but something between...

Whatever the case, I'm none too eager to replace supplies in The Melting Pot with the planet's stock.

It seems — fishy, as they say.

video.

[wolfuncaged]

That's true, it's...complicated, whatever it is. And that is a wise choice. We don't know what effects this food might have on us.

[Best to just LEAVE it. Don't eat magically appearing food, no, no siree. ]

Ugh. Yes. Fishy.

/late without starbucks

[candothat]

[Chekov, unlike Fenris, is not particularly tense or opposed to indulging in the bounty the bizarre city has to offer. He was cautious enough when they first landed, sure, but investigations have turned up nothing worrisome and he is not about to let food go uneaten just because it exists under mysterious circumstances.

So really, Fenris, you can stop glaring at him and the various groceries he's bringing on board the Tourist.]

You know that you only need to ask if you would like me to bring you something.

how very DARE

[wolfuncaged]

[No, Pavel, he is going to glare, and he is going to judge. ]

I'd rather you not bring anything here. We have no idea what this food could ultimately do to us. Given it replenishes itself, I think it is cause for concern.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[candothat]

[That's fine, Pavel is at peace with this.]

I have been in two other universes with food that did this, I'm not worried. The Atroma wouldn't kill us in such a boring way anyway.

[He does not, however, start unpacking his food haul. It if really means that much to you, man.]
