Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: ANYTHING!
Action: Probably either on or around the October planet!
When: Within the first couple of days that the planet shows up.

[holy shit you guys there is a planet, like, an actual planet now. what are you gonna do? get out and look? marvel at the locals? search for aliens? stand around your ship and questioning every life choice you've made up until this point? hang around in orbit because planets are for squares?

this is mostly for early stuff, so please feel free to make your own posts in the next couple of weeks with more planet (or station, or ship!) shenanigans.]

I do appreciate it, thank you.

Well...you're welcome. [ Huff huff ] ...I'm Sam.

Emblica.

[ As in, that's her name. But that's probably obvious. ]

Embelica? [ l chord????? ]

Emblica. Like the plant.

Gratia?

...no...I could write it down for you.

No that's--it's okay. I just thought maybe it was like the planet that other guy said he came from... I think he might've been lying.

He may not have been.

[ That's okay, buddy. ]

Have you ever heard of Gratia before?

Not that I can recall.

Oh....

...I apologize, I'm not quite following.

Oh--sorry. It's nothing... I was just thinking you sounded really normal for an alien.

[ She sounds a bit taken aback, somewhat flustered, under the skull. ]

Aren't you one, to some? Not everyone comes from the same place.

[ Aaaaa no, her reaction--Sam flushes in return, worried he just put his foot in his mouth. ]

I--yeah....I guess so....

...when you said normal, though-- I really don't seem different from people?

[ Uh. Yes. You do. ]

Well...I dunno. I can't see your face--but you sound normal?

Oh, that's good. Thank you.

Do you normally not or something...?

I don't like to seem too...different.

[ You are failing at that, Emblica... ]

[ YEAH ABOUT THAT ]

........Oh. Okay.

...is something wrong?

Well... [ Sam shifts in his seat awkwardly. ] I mean--if you don't want to seem strange...isn't wearing a huge skull sort of silly? It totally stands out. You look like a boss monster.

...like a what?

[ Sh-she blends in here!!! ]
