[Closed] Fuck this shit I'm out...
Who: Shiro + Thor, Ulaz, Baku, Makie
Broadcast: No.
Action: Yes.
When: Beginning of April.
1. Thor + Reactor building on the planet
[Shiro has always been the kind of guy that keeps himself busy, especially when there's stuff in his mind he's escaping from... like the bunker. Two steps in have been enough to know what's inside, and he leaves before a panic attack could be triggered - he does see in his mind some flashes of cells. He knows where things could be going.
This is awful, just awful. There are lots of things to be said and discussed, about terraforming and people playing god. But he doesn't want to think about that right now, he just wants to make things right. Remembering the deformed animals Ulaz saw and the conversation about radioactive energy that followed it, Shiro makes his way to the reactor building... only to find someone doing the same.]
I see I'm not the only one worried about that uncontrolled machine. Hey, Thor.
2. Ulaz + SS Caprine
[He's moving by instinct right now, his mind a blurry mess of emotions. This can't be happening, it just can't! Damn Atroma, damn their enjoyment of their drama, damn allowing himself to relax in here. He isn't sure how he gets to the pod or how he ends up on the Caprine really, he's on automatic - why the Caprine anyway?
As he slams open the lab door, face white and panting, it becomes easy to understand why. He can't drop the bomb on the team, not yet. Here's the only man that understands.]
Ulaz... [A pause. Deep breath.] ...she's here.
3. Baku + SS Caprine
[After the talk with Ulaz, Shiro is... okay, maybe not fine, but okay enough. He should feel bad for taking the Caprine's doctor to his ship, but he can't deny the comfort that Ulaz's presence brings him. Speaking of the Caprine... there's someone else here that he's fond of. Someone who has also offered help. Shiro stops in his tracks, hands closing in tight, trembling fists. He went to Ulaz for help... his team have been nagging him about it too for how long now?
The subject of his dreams is still delicate... but not more than Haggar. He needs to learn to reach out.
So here he's now, going from the way to the exit to the way to the rooms, and knocks on certain friend's door, nervous but determined.]
Baku? Do you have a minute?
4. Makie + SS Blameless (backdated)
[The sound of the confetti and the musical tune are very familiar by now - Shiro has been in the fleet for a year, and the Blameless changes crew members all the time. So he makes his way to the new arrival, welcoming smile on his face as always.]
New member, huh. Welcome to the SS Blameless. I'm Shiro, captain and pilot of this ship.
Broadcast: No.
Action: Yes.

[He says with all the sympathy of the universe because man, he hates that too. And it happens some times around here too, during drifting in particular.]
That also makes lots of sense. Do you learn and get knowledge from the dreams you eat? Or you can't tell what's real and what's not from them?
no subject
[drifting here is the worst. There's only so much one can do to keep oneself occupied and she always ends up with too much free time anyway]
I can get knowledge from them in the sense that people learn things from watching television; I don't absorb anything from dreams other than energy. In the old days, when more people believed in our stories, I'd learn all sorts of things, because the rules weren't in place yet. I could look at everyone's dreams.
no subject
Were the rules put in place because humanity forgot about your kind? I'm sorry if we made it any more difficult to you, Baku. You're as much part of the world as us.
no subject
The gods - all of them, not just the ones from my region - got together and decided we were all too powerful, and too much of a danger to humanity. So the rules were instituted to keep us in check, and to keep humans safer.
Basically, they handed over control to humans. If one of us is stronger than another, it's because humans believe them to be.
no subject
[He falls silent for a moment, wondering about the implications and consequences of such decision. On paper it sounds like a fair compromise, but Baku's expression... welp. Maybe he should stop poking at this so much.]
Sorry, I came to ask for your help and ended up interrogating you. I didn't mean to be so nosy.
no subject
It's fine, I don't mind questions. I don't get to talk about it a lot.
no subject
Well, if you ever need someone to talk to about those things, you know where to find me.
