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.]

What good would it do? It is long past. And they won't listen. They never have.
no subject
Her brow furrows.] I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. If you mean that no one listened in the past, then you're right, there's nothing you can do to change that. And that's hurtful, and I'm sorry that happened to you. But you can learn from it, because you're not in the past anymore. [Which means that you don't need to be stuck there.] Maybe you weren't talking to the right people, or maybe they didn't know you needed them to listen.
[People are stupid about that sometimes.]
no subject
I don't want to try anymore.
no subject
I can understand that. [And... she can. How many times had she been left? Hurt.] It hurts to keep trying. But it can be very lonely, otherwise.
no subject
I do not mind that.
no subject
...no, wait, apparently, that's not true.]
Then you've spent a lot of time talking about something that you aren't interested in trying. [She ameliorates it with a slight smile.] Think about it, Loki. And if you want to practice... I'm not the best at listening, but I can try. [...heh.] Which is probably a good thing, if you want to practice.
no subject
. . . Perhaps.
no subject
And so she gives him a small, genuine smile and a nod.] Good. I'm going to walk back now. You're welcome to come along, if you like.
[Just to be clear on that, but it was not a request. He could go do... broody Asgardian things or go... beat up a... sand dune... or something, she just hoped that he wouldn't go back in the bunker, but she wasn't going to try to stop him if he did.]
no subject
Not yet. . . . But soon.
no subject
Alright. Take care of yourself, Loki.
