WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Marsiva hospitality deck
WHEN May 20th because I'm a loser

[ The comm is set down on a table, facing down to give a wide angle of a young redheaded woman who is basically standing inside of a couch. Phasing! She looks to the camera, brows raised very pointedly!! And then walks forward to one of the walls leading further into the Marsiva and pushes.

Nada.

She looks back to the camera. Walks back to the couch, does a slow turn around while standing inside of it, then goes back and pushes on the wall again. After a moment, she steps back, uses both hands to point at the stubborn wall. ]

Is anyone else seeing this shit?

[interspace]

Appreciate it. Misha, by the way. We should probably actually know names before we get into blood-pact territory here.

[stayinthecar]

My name is Zee. I promise I won't start bleeding.

[interspace]

Uh, yeah, it's just a saying. Tradition. Stupid thing. Never mind.

[stayinthecar]

Oh.

I'm still not going to bleed.

[interspace]

Okay? You don't have to bleed if you don't want to.

... and don't piss anyone off, I guess.

[stayinthecar]

...I'll do my best. You mean make people angry?

[interspace]

Yeah, that's what it means. Bit of a formal speaker?

[stayinthecar]

Yes. I'm still learning slang.

[interspace]

[ That's... adorable and she's smiling before she realizes it. ]

That is an undertaking that could take you a lifetime. But hey, not gonna say it's not worth it, either.

[stayinthecar]

It might, especially here. Everyone uses different terms from their worlds.

[interspace]

Man, that's true. Once you learn one, though, it's easy to get context of the others.

[stayinthecar]

Do you think so? I think I get more context from a person's tone and subject, not other slang terms.

[interspace]

Well, I just mean in the sense of learning different words for the same thing.

[stayinthecar]

True. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable using them myself.

[interspace]

Nothing wrong with that. As long as we can all still communicate, I think that's the biggest issue here.

[stayinthecar]

Yes... I think the augments must alter our language to some extent as well. There's no way everyone here can speak the same language.

[ he almost didn't mention it to her because misha seems to hate the augments already, but it's an important thing. ]

[interspace]

[ Yeah, no, the augment has to go, and that's just another thing. Her eyes close briefly. ]

You're right. I figured. Still, that would be the easiest route to keep us from spending months teaching each other our languages. Just download it into our brains, why not.

[stayinthecar]

...please don't try to remove it until one of us finds a doctor to supervise. I already know one I can call.

[interspace]

Fine, fine. I don't think they leave us with anything sharp enough to try unless you count a spork, anyway.

[stayinthecar]

[ his eyes widen for a moment, possibly in horror ]

That would be extremely unpleasant on its own.

[interspace]

Like having a big hunk of metal or plastic or whatever this in our heads isn't?

[stayinthecar]

Mine is not painful on its own, I would hope the same is true for you.

[interspace]

Unpleasantness isn't just pain. This is... way beyond anything I wanted to deal with today, let me just say that.

[stayinthecar]

What were you doing last? Before you were brought here?

[interspace]

Um... guess you could say exploring. Scouting areas out and all that.
