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! ]

...What is it? [Did he say something strange or unbelievable?]

[There's not really a way to make that sound less discouraging without getting into dishonest territory, is there.]
There are worse places to be.
no subject
[ Okay, it doesn't sound very enthusiastic, but he's not disagreeing. ]
no subject
Er. I should leave so you can make yourself comfortable, probably.
no subject
He looks a little distracted-- not by anything in particular, just nearing the end of his sanity tether. Maybe he needs a time out. ]
Yeah...
[ Comfortable's a stretch. But at least he can sort of get his bearings.
A civilized person would say thank you, but guess what? ]
no subject
[Chekov's good manners have not prepared him for this.]
Er... if there's anything that you need, my bunk is there. [A wave at the appropriate door.] So.
[So he'll... go there? Yes, that sounds correct.]
