Entry tags:
a brand new stray
Who: Daryl Dixon + open
Broadcast: Not intentionally but maybe you'll get lucky channel surfing sometime?
Action: The Tourist, assorted planets thereafter
When: 5/5 and onward
1. tourist arrival
He doesn't get his bearings at all. Everything when he wakes up is shining and unfamiliar and the only comforting thing is it's definitely not the Sanctuary, as surely as it's not any of their familiar settlements. He gets his back up against the wall, and then he's somewhere else.
The burst of confetti and music just suffices to confuse the hell out of him, so he ignores the chocolate pudding and ducks back against the wall, dead silent and kind of panicked and doing his best not to show it.
Left to his own devices, eventually he'll slink off into the rest of the ship-- looking for anything he can use as a weapon and watching for threats.
2. planetside in the yadrolla system
It's been literally years since he saw a functioning city, and the first time he touches down on one of the more populous planets, it's totally overwhelming.
The upshot of this is he'll be a little friendlier to Fleeters, because at least if someone's vaguely familiar they're closer to being a known, safe quantity. Mostly he stays to the side-streets, watching like it's all new.
Eventually he manages to get a lift to one of the wilder worlds-- not because he wants to sight-see, though incidentally he might end up spectating some of the outdoor events-- but because it's better than being stuck on the ship. Feels too much like a trap-- nowhere to run.
Later in the month he'll take up fishing and hunting-- there may be food on the ship but he's not sure how far he trusts it. Besides, he's good at this, there's some comfort in grounding yourself.
3. choose your own adventure
[ want something different? We'll make it work! ]

no subject
At least he's doing better enough now to share grief simply with her, he's not more consumed by the guilt of showing it when she's the one who really feels the loss.
But now what he wants is just to be here,
to be as strong as he can be, if he's not really strong. Because if the past weeks have taught him anything it's that he's not strong enough. ]
I'm all right, [ he reassures her, and it's mostly true. At least, she doesn't have to worry about him.
He gives her shoulder a squeeze, pulling her close, tacit invitation to lean on him as long as she needs. As standoffish as he can be with strangers, family's different, and he hopes everything he can't find words to say, she can feel. ]
