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!

[ His lips twitch though there's little humour in it. ]

Indeed. He tends to take up the room.

[edwinjarvis]

You don't seem particularly enthused about this.

[Though maybe that's just their relationship. He's often exasperated or humorless when he talks about Howard's less... enjoyable traits.]

[dothelokimotion]

I grew up with him. I'm allowed.

[edwinjarvis]

Fair enough. I would have never even considered you two related...

[dothelokimotion]

[ A little clipped. ]

I'm adopted.

[edwinjarvis]

... Ah. I see.

[Awkwaaard. He clears his throat, though determined to continue on with his work.]

I can safely say it's more the difference in personality, but...! [Here, another pair of decently fashionable black pants.] As you were, least we have our time cut short by bandits, explosions, or any other form of stunningly coincidental space theatrics.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks. ]

Is that common?

[edwinjarvis]

[Sourly:]

Positively expected. Monthly, usually. So fortunate of us to be at least on a partial schedule.

[dothelokimotion]

I assume it is to keep things engaging to our, ah, unknown audience.

[edwinjarvis]

If there even is an audience. It's hard to say at this point. I'm not even sure if they're actually broadcasting any of what they do, or if it's simply stuck in a never-ending schedule they've programmed for themselves.

... There were fleets before us as well, you know. One that managed to completely cut ties and flee into space, even.

[dothelokimotion]

I believe I have vaguely heard of that.

If they managed it, how come they have not released us from our bondage?

[edwinjarvis]

An excellent question. I imagine it's not terribly easy, considering we're always automatically teleported right back to our stations, should we try to escape. Have you attempted as much yet?

[dothelokimotion]

Not yet. I won't risk my magic until the right moment.

[edwinjarvis]

Ah, I see.

In that case I should warn you, it'll likely fail, as it has with every single person who has attempted escape or infiltration.

[He says it matter-of-factly, succinctly. It isn't that he doesn't believe the man isn't strong or magical or what have you; he just knows it doesn't change anything, far more often than not.]

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not particularly bothered by failure.

[ And Loki isn't a quitter. ]
