The Bunker of Nariba Relia | OPEN PLOT MINGLE POST
Who: Everyone!!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The bunker in the surrounding desert.
When: Sometime recently, see this post for full information. Below is the excerpt of information listed there. Feel free to make a top comment and thread out the sad truth and whatnot.
[Records buried in the library, the research facility, and cues from the power plant will eventually reveal the bunker in the surrounding desert. The passageway leads several yards underground, and it doesn’t appear to have been used in a long time. Those brave enough to venture inside will find that it is not much more than a tomb. Eerily enough, the emergency lights are still on, casting a soft red glow over sheets and the once-bodies beneath them.
It has been long enough that paper journals, books, and personal belongings (like bags and such) have deteriorated to the point of being extremely fragile. Handled with care, however, they are eager to tell a story.
“The engineers should have been more careful. I’m not sure I’ll be able to recoup my losses from this… At least I have enough money to buy a ride off this planet!”
“No one could have known this would happen. Hopefully it stabilizes so we can go home soon. In the meantime, I’ve been teaching my daughter how to count. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and I don’t know what to tell her.”
“It’s not getting better. So many people have died that we’re running out of room in the morgue. We had to move all of the food to another room so that the smell doesn’t leach out, but we all know what’s back there.”
“The replicator was supposed to repair us, too.”
“I don’t know if we can go back yet, but it doesn’t matter. Even if the city was back to the way it was, there’s no cure for us. The dead are dead, and we lay down next to them as we wait for our turn.”
There is nothing that can be done for these people except to give them the eternal rest they deserve. Ultimately, the fate of Nariba Relia is a sad one and not altogether preventable.]

Ah . . . Loki of the First Breath.
[ He . . . bends slightly to shake the hand . . . ]
no subject
[DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME, SIR, I AM A SUPREME CAPTAIN.
Also, if you want a capri sun, I've got space-versions, but that can wait. He reaches out and grips the hand with a firm, surprisingly strong grasp, gives it the usual few hardy shakes before he drops it to his side.]
... Sorry this is one of the first places you had to visit. But it's been worse than this, so I guess you gotta count the blessings, and stuff like that.
[He seems tinier than he sounds, but that's just ye ancient effects of not being cared for well enough. And being through shit. But that just comes with the territory.]
no subject
[ Loki has never had many blessings and he's better off. Gods don't need the prayers of others. They make their way under their own power. ]
And it is not so terrible.
no subject
I guess so. You must be used to pretty rough stuff, then. At least people were able to be saved before, at other places — but... you can't save everyone in the universe. The best we can do now is pay our respects, and learn all the stuff we can.
no subject
What can possibly be learned from this?
no subject
That sometimes you can only look — and then move along.
... You can't always be there in time.
no subject
[ A little harsh, but he's feeling out of sorts as it is. ]
I'm fully aware what it is like to be out of time.
no subject
It's not always about us.
['Duh.']
no subject
It doesn't sound like anyone else is making it to be anything other than themselves.
no subject
He folds his arms, squinting.]
You're lucky I'm around, Mr. Loki.

I am not a bummer.
no subject
Say five positive things that prove you're not a bummer. It's a true test.
[And yes, maybe he held up a hand of five, just to cement his challenge.
This is the life you're stuck with now, Loki. There's no rainbow bridge to get kicked out of.]
no subject
Loki's look is scathing and could set someone on fire. ]
Why would I bother with something so inane?
no subject
[He's 100000% unaffected by the scathing look, b t w.
He was 'friends' with Nishi, he was a piece of shit who glared literally 24/7.]
no subject
no subject
But then I'll think you're a bummer, so.
[Are you enjoying this, Loki.]
no subject
That is hardly my concern. And I have no desire to fill out some arbitrary list.
no subject
no subject
Don't you have somewhere else to be?
no subject
[He wags a hand. And yeah that's your new name.]
I gotta go re-stock the ship after I pay some respects, anyways! Don't let being a bummer get you down.
[A THUMBS UP as he jogs backwards into the distance. Sorry Loki, you're stuck on the fleet with this.]
