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.]

You're kind of a bummer, so it's lucky you met me, because I'm real good at making friends with bummers.
dothelokimotion: (We've said so much)

[ What even. Loki's lips thin. ]

I am not a bummer.

[Hands on hips!!!]

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.]
dothelokimotion: (Not certain we even have questions)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-04-18 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Five? Five???

Loki's look is scathing and could set someone on fire. ]


Why would I bother with something so inane?

You said you're not a bummer! I'm just giving you a chance to prove it!

[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.]
dothelokimotion: (Maybe your attention is drifting)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-04-21 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I need to prove anything, especially to a child!

That's child captain to you! And you don't gotta.

But then I'll think you're a bummer, so.

[Are you enjoying this, Loki.]
dothelokimotion: (Better that you not know)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-04-24 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Child, captain. Same thing. ]

That is hardly my concern. And I have no desire to fill out some arbitrary list.

[personal profile] throwsdown 2018-04-24 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
So... you can't name 5 positive things...
dothelokimotion: (One arc to a finish)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2018-04-24 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
I am not going to bother.

Don't you have somewhere else to be?
throwsdown: (SC370)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2018-04-27 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay, I'm gonna go, Mr. Negative Guy.

[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.]
