Who: Glenn Rhee - and maybe you?
Broadcast: Yes
Action:Also yes SS Starstruck
When: Shuffle Day! Plus he just arrived in time for it! Good timing, Glenn!
action: SS Starstruck ]
[ The last thing that he really knew, that he understood and processed, was that his life was over. After that, he couldn't call the details to mind, but the certainty was there. And then, something else happened. He was in a completely different place, somewhere clean, utilitarian but gleaming... and there were stars.
Truth be told, he hadn't gotten past the disbelief, gradually coming to terms with both space and his own continued existence, when suddenly everything changed around him again. Only this time, there was a little tune to greet him, confetti and dessert?
So don't mind him, far more disoriented than he's ever been, stumbling and barely keeping himself upright, staring around the bridge in building bewilderment - and it's rather immediately clear that's what it is, the stations, the windows... space again. However that happened. ]
Um... hello?
[ Eloquent. He'll get to words. Eventually. ]

I, uh... I guess this is basically like the internet? It's been a while but: Hi. My name is Glenn, and I just got here.
[ He draws a deep breath - while he's doing a bit better, he's still unsteady. ]
To space.
[ He's hoping for what he figures is the impossible... he can't bring himself to put it into words. So he leaves it there, with the dubious tone of someone who still isn't sure anything is real. Himself included. ]

[ He'll adjust. It's more than worth it. ]
Earth... the US. Michigan, originally. Then Georgia.
[ By the time they made it to Virginia, well, states didn't mean much anymore. And with the name and the arm, there's plenty to be curious about here. He gives an inquisitive upward tick of his chin. ]
How about you?
video;;
Indiana, originally. Moved to Brooklyn when I was a kid. Got drafted, got stuck around Europe for a hell of a long time. Russia, mostly.

[ He lets out a small breath there, nodding slightly. ]
Seems like there are a lot of us from Earth - one version or another, anyway. Can I ask... which war was it?
video;;
[ To that, he shakes his head and lets out a huff. ]
World War Two. Not bad for a hundred-and-one, huh?
video;;
That, uh... I mean. I don't want to pry or anything.
[ So he pauses, though he clearly wants to ask, and purses his lips a moment. ]
So, yeah. Not bad.
video;;
[ As a simple explanation, at least. It's a long story and he doesn't want to make the poor guy uncomfortable. ]
video;;
[ That is simple enough, but... a little unusual. So, before he can catch himself, ]
Really? What was that like? Did you dream, or were you just... out?
[ Then he slows his roll. ]
Sorry. I don't mean to-- I've just never met anyone who was frozen. [ Well - ] That I know of.
