Who: EVERYBODY
Broadcast: Maybe
Action: Lone Breaker System
When: The fleet will be in this system from 3/10 to 4/14

Welcome to the Lone Breaker System. The planet consists of a single ghost town that replenishes its stock daily, and a desert that does not. There are quite a few points of interest, no consequences, and a mystery to be investigated!

[At least she's not looking for advice, just something light to talk about.

So she gives him a quick grin.] Maybe you should try it sometime. Really throw people off.

[he gives a snort] I think I'll give it a pass. I already put people off with my attitude.

Mmm... [Considering glance.] You sound like you like it that way.

[Not a judgement or a criticism or... anything, really. More of an observation than anything.]

Eh. [he shrugs a shoulder] It isn't something I do on purpose - most of the time. But like I told you, I'm not much of a people person, either.

Yeah, you did say that. [But, you know, you've spent the past hour or so with her, so she's not sure how much credence to give that.] Oh - it looks like the sun is starting to go down. I should get going.

Sure did. [he said people, not singular person!! He leans forward to squint at the sun and nods] Yeah, me too. Desert at night? No thanks.

[She arches her eyebrows at him in question.] Too cold?

Yeah. I mean, probably. I don't know how this desert works but I'd assume - anyway, yeah, too cold, I'd freeze 'cause I don't got the clothes for it, etc. It wouldn't be pretty.

Maybe you should pick some up while we're here. [She starts to stand to begin to put things away.] Clothes shopping is really boring, but at least everything is free. I hear it's not that way at all in other systems.

I don't mind clothes shopping so much. I should probably pick up a few T-shirts, at least. [he stands as well, slinging his bag over his shoulder before he picks up the bag] I do like free, too.

[A half shrug.] Who doesn't like free?

[And then she gives him a quick grin.] It was nice meeting you, Ben.

[Beeeeeecause he's totally gonna just let her walk off to where all the space ships are by herself now, right?]

Rich folk. [he's just guessing, who knows]

[do you really think he's that much of a jackass? Nope] Trying to get rid of me already? I'll follow you back, geez.

[Well, he keeps claiming he is!!! But no, she just doesn't think about these things, tbh. It's not like there's anyone going to attack her here.]

If you want to, sure? [Because... okay, she wasn't really expecting that but... sure?] I guess we're both heading in the same direction, after all.
