Who: Daryl Dixon
Broadcast: yes, very grumpily
Action: on the Tourist if you want him
When: Shortly after the boxes get popped, early in the drifting, 9/12-ish?

[ Generally speaking Daryl doesn't do broadcasts, if at all avoidable. He's not the chatty type, and he doesn't trust the prospect of an audience.

But everyone's got their limits, and he needs answers. ]

This ship broken or what?

[ He doesn't appear upside-down... except that above him is the floor of his room on the Tourist, and his hair's kind of... floating. So, okay, he's just holding the camera the right way while hanging somewhere near the ceiling.

It's unnerving, which means he looks pretty ticked off. ]


[ooc; he'll just be anti-grav for a couple of days, but feel free to use this for any later September shenanigans too~ ]

Maybe not the whole ship but from the looks of it, your gravity is all wonky.

Try not to toss your cookies?

[ ...Okay, he has to laugh a little at Daryl's expense at first. It's funny, but only for a moment. Glitches seem to be popping up like crazy lately, including his own. Which he is resolutely hiding from the camera. ]

I'd be willing to go with 'or what' at this point.

[ Leilani looks... Amused, at least, and she can't help the grin that twitches on her face. ]

This isn't normal for you, then?

[worn_wings]

[ HE'S FINE he's definitely not fine, but he's probably not gonna puke. As long as he stays here in reach of a ceiling. ]

Think it's just broke here?

[ so maybe if he can get into another room...? ]

[worn_wings]

[ goddamnit Carl this is not funny! it's very funny. just not to Daryl. ]

This ever happen on yours?

[ please tell him someone can fix it. he is not a fan of floating. ]

[worn_wings]

Does it look normal?

[veilstrike]

Normal doesn't mean much here, does it?

video.

[worn_wings]

I guess. [ he sounds unconvinced. Though he usually sounds like that, to be fair. ] But I ain't seen people floating before.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

[Oh. She wants to do that too! It's not fair.]

How'd you do that? Can we all float like that?

[It's so cool. This place just got better and better.]

[postocular]

The gravity thing? Not really, no. If it's a glitch, it goes away after a while..

[worn_wings]

[ WHY CHILDREN. Good thing he didn't decide to start the broadcast until he finished cursing a blue streak. ]

Better hope not.

[ Sudden antigravity is not as fun as it seems. He feels awful, he's just masking it-- as usual-- with belligerence. ]

[worn_wings]

How long's a while?

[postocular]

Depends, really. Most I've seen is about two weeks? Though I hope they go away faster than that..

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Maybe you could tie yourself to somethin' that's stuck to the floor so you don't float as much? You might float away if you aren't careful.

[She doesn't know that he'll necessarily float away, but still. The idea of a person tied to something like a balloon is funny.]

It better not be. [Chekov's on that ship! And also all the other people who she likes. Zombie-killing bro included because why not? But after a moment she picks up on the clues in the display as to what he's referring to.]

Oh, you're glitched too. [It helps that she's seen that one a few times before. And when she says "too" she means it's obviously a bit of a recent epidemic in general, but yes, her too. Hers isn't as visible.]

[worn_wings]

Jesus.

[ the prospect of two weeks of zero gravity kind of makes him want to puke. ]

Can't someone fix it?

video;

[worn_wings]

Don't think I'm gonna get far.

Your ship ain't broke?

[postocular]

Not that I know of, sorry.

So when did it start?

video

[worn_wings]

The hell's that mean?

[ This seems like more than a glitch. He's really not up on the whole augment thing-- he knows it's there, he just tries real hard not to think about it.

Really, everyone seems way too calm about this shit. ]

[mongoosecrow]

Maybe.

Does your crew have an engineer?

video.

[veilstrike]

Honestly, it's a first for me, but I expect all kinds of things to happen on the fleet. I don't think it's because of the ship, though - usually when these things happen on ships it happens to more than one.

[worn_wings]

'Bout an hour, maybe?

[worn_wings]

Think so, yeah. The captain is.

[worn_wings]

What do you mean?

video.

[veilstrike]

Sometimes the Atroma does things, or something will happen because of a glitch. Has anything different happened on your ship lately?
