002; Some sightseeing and such
Who: Aaron + You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit/Planetside (Bloodsport common room for that broadcast if you wanna)
When: Throughout December (until they leave)
Audio; Broadcast Fleetwide
[Aaron is making his transmission from the common room on the Bloodsport, so if you're around, feel free to stumble upon him.]
Good morning, everyone. At...least I think it's morning. Anyway, I've been all over this ship, a few others, and the Iskaulit and I've found a photography studio, more than one restaurant, a library, two bars, several different times of relaxation and reflection spaces just to name a few, but no place that seems set up to get any firearms practice in. I think it might be important, seeing as a lot of our ship provide crew members with sidearms. Does...anyone know how we go about getting something like that established? Do we just...pick a space and take it?
Iskaulit - Library | OTA
[In his quest to find a place to train with the weapon provided him on the Bloodsport, Aaron finds himself thumbing through the library. If being stuck in outer space has taught him anything, it's that they aren't really pressed for time. Dorian's comments on the selection of the library have him intrigued at any rate, so he takes his times perusing the shelves.
Dorian was right, he thought as he did so. There was a lot of Earth literature here. Some of it was crap (was that really a copy of the 5 Love Languages?) but he stopped at a collection of classic literature and pulled a weathered book from the shelf. Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray brought a lot of memories back, and thoughts of someone he was starting to fear he'd never see again. He couldn't just take it, of course, though he wanted to. Libraries did require their books to be returned eventually, after all.]
...where do they get these books...?
[If he had that answer, maybe he could find his own copy.]
Planetside - In Town | shopping | ota
[It's difficult to visit this winter planet and not realize it's some sort of holiday season. With all the feasts, parades, and gifts, Aaron is first reminded of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons back on Earth, before the world ended, and that's just fine with him. What he was most interested in, of course, were the shops. Since the world ended, the only way to have new things was to scavenge them. The idea of using what credits he'd been provided to buy things was novel at the very least. His first priority was picking up a new pack, and with it strapped to his back, he's simply wandering the shopping district, looking at windows and waiting for a shop to catch his eye.
And then it does. The camera shop across the way is his destination as he makes his way across the icy road.]
I wonder what kinds of cameras aliens use, even.
[It's murmured out loud, yes, but he's not going to mind if someone wants to join him.]
Planetside - In Town | sightseeing | ota
[Equipped with a new camera and enough digital storage to film the rest of the planet, Aaron, newly excited to explore and document all the unique sights of this place, goes around town, snapping pictures of unique storefronts, trees with particularly intriguing ice formations, and just generally...looking like a tourist. He keeps eyeing that castle in the distance, too. If anyone stops long enough to look over to him, he smiles amicably.]
You want to check out the castle?

no subject
Who told you 'bout it?
[ He's curious if it was one of them, or someone different. ]
no subject
[He meets Daryl's eyes for the brief moment he glances over his shoulder and he raises his eyebrows questioningly.]
She said Carol mentioned it was similar to the walker epidemic. What do you think?
no subject
It was, [ he says, after a moment, quiet. ]
no subject
Have we told anyone? There are people here who were in contact with the infected, Daryl. We're all infected, and we don't even know how it transfers. That could be important.
no subject
[ He doesn't mean to bristle. He knows he shouldn't, because Aaron's a friend and he's thinking of keeping people safe, but he can't banish the things he saw on the station. Seeing Carl like that...
He forces some of the tension out of his shoulders, lets his gaze drop. ]
It ain't supposed to. Normally. [ He hesitates a little, not sure how much of this is really his to tell. Feeling like a coward, too, for not wanting to get into it. What Carl has all but said. ]
Carl and Maggie know more about it. Been here a long while.
no subject
What do you mean it isn't supposed to?
no subject
[ A special circumstance. He doesn't really understand it either. ]
Dunno. Carol was gonna talk to one'f the doctors, til she left.
no subject
[He nods.]
Well, if Carol didn't get a chance to, then I'll take care of it.
no subject
The idea of talking to the doctors is probably a good one. He'd been in favor-- cautiously. Hard, when he doesn't really trust the people here like he does at home. But for safety's sake-- they owe it to everyone. ]
no subject
I will.
[It's too important not to.]
