Broadcast: Yes
Action: N/A
When: Now

[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

[and below the soundbar, a text transcription:]


Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

1. Length of time you've been here.

2. Whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

3. Something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

4. Something you miss most desperately from home. No people, only items.

Thank you.

[mikangirl]

1. Two and a half years
2. Yes. Adstringendum. Two other places I don't remember. At least, probably.
3. N/A
4. N/A

[To be sure, there's plenty she'd liked to have known at the start. But that information was not only unavailable at the time, it's not information she'd share on the comms. Aizawa already knows all that stuff anyway.]

[expellerhead]

Really, nothing from home? How well-adjusted of you.

[axi]

[Kaname's normally a video or voice person, but this seems better to type up. She's got nothing to hide, anyway.]

1. A little over six months now.

2. No.

3. How often people come and go. I heard about it, but it's still more than I imagined.

4. Would a food count? I actually miss fresh jellyfish more than I thought I would.

[expellerhead]

That's a good point, about the turnover rate here. It doesn't really sink in until it happens, but a little heads-up couldn't hurt.

[ text ]

[dothelokimotion]

1. A month or so

2. I have not, though records state I have visited many places.

3. The history of this place. The accounts are very scattered and not thorough.

4. My daggers.

text

[expellerhead]

True, it's a pain to dig up any information here. Then again that's probably more in our favor than against.

text

[stormfist]

1. as long as you have.
2. no.
3. emphasis on how severe things can get. especially since it isn't always.
4. wouldn't say desperately, but my sparrow is the first thing that comes to mind

[ Not that he doesn't p much know all that anyway - or could likely guess it - but still! ]

working on the guide?

text

[expellerhead]

...I don't actually remember how long we've been here. Hold on, I'll check.

text

[expellerhead]

Sixteen months, give or take a week.

text

[expellerhead]

And yeah, the guide. Among other things.

[therewerefifty]

May I ask why you request this information, sir?

voice

[expellerhead]

I'm trying to update the newcomers' guide.

[watermarks]

[This is a style of survey she can get behind; she'll also be very interested in the answers he receives.]


1. ...about three weeks, I think.
2. Yes. A place called Luceti. Also... apparently I was here before, but I don't remember it.
3. ...maybe that the food on the Marsiva is a lot better than what's on the ships, to enjoy it while we can? Beside that, I feel like I'm still figuring things out here, in order to know what I would have needed to know in the beginning

[...yeah, she's not answering four, in part because it's a toss up between the sentimental and the practical, and while she misses no thing from home... she misses plenty from Luceti.]

[expellerhead]

Did anybody send you the old version of the guide when you showed up? It's outdated, and what I'm trying to fix, but it could be helpful.

[mucked]

[ she's gotten the feeling he prefers text, so: ]

1: Two years and eight months.
2: Negative.
3: A heads up about the possibility of meeting alternative versions not only of yourself but of those familiar to you. I'm not talking about mere lookalikes, but of people with the right name and right background but with some crucial part of them changed.
4: As silly as it sounds, I miss my lipstick. I've never been able to find a good duplicate of my favoured shade.

[expellerhead]

[she would be 100% right]

When you say a crucial part of them changed, what do you mean? Looks, abilities?

[onlyanapple]

1. Three years, seven months. I was here on the first day this stupid fucking Drift Fleet mess started.
2. Yep. Paradisa, for six years.
3. Paradisa pretty solidly prepared me for the stuff that regularly happens here.
4. My car. 1926 Bentley. Great car, that.

[expellerhead]

[here from the start. boy has he got some questions for you] You came here direct from this Paradisa place?

voice

[passingthrough]

Oh, you and your conversation starters.

Let's see, [Raising fingers for each new answer not that she turned the video on.]

I've been here two years and two and a half months. I was in MarinaNova Asylum for at least eleven months before that, but I've since realized time didn't work the same in there, so maybe several years? [The third finger goes up.] Mmm...that people come back to life if they die here. I tried asking around but I stopped before I found anyone who knew for sure and had all kinds of unnecessary mourning. [She would have mourned and been worried anyway.] And last but not least. Or maybe least. It kind of seems pretty least honestly. I'm not that into things. I don't miss anything desperately or I miss too much of it at the same level and none of it would be around if I did go back to the time I left.

How was that?

voice

[expellerhead]

Informative.

You mentioned that asylum place before. What do you mean that time works differently inside there?

text

[mrfancyhat]

1. Just short of one year.
2. Not exactly like this.
3. How annoying the captain of my ship is.
4. The wine cellar I was in the process of getting.

text

[expellerhead]

Can I ask the differences between here and where you were before?

[goldenglasses]

1. Since the start of this 'cycle' so four years come October.

2. No.

3.How the augments are inserted- [He sees that response Chuuya!] How annoying my crew is. Especially ones that wear hats cooler than they are.

4. Donuts. [Are they better from home? No. But he could always use more donuts.]

[expellerhead]

[another first gen-er. makes a note to pump this guy for info too.] Donuts aren't that hard to make. I'm sure someone could cook some up for you.

[lord_wizard]

1. Three years and about 2 months
2. I was in Paradisa previously
3. I can't think of anything that my stay in Paradisa did not prepare me for and that the augment did not cover.
4. Most of those things have followed me here at this point.

[expellerhead]

Do me a favor and explain the nature of Paradisa?

[cajunspice]

1) Two, two and a half years? Something like that.
2) Yes, place called Luceti, and 'I' had been there before I turned up there.
3) Not really, though had been expected to be heading home from Luceti and ended up showing up here, so I guess just knowing there was more places like this out there with aliens that are far too curious about us.
4) My motorbike. God I miss it, haven't come across anything close to it around the planets yet. Would love to have it, and an appropriate amount of fuel and other parts for maintenance, on board.

[expellerhead]

Apparently quite a few more.

What was this Luceti place like?
