Its been about four weeks. Though I guess I should say Earth weeks. Twenty-seven days since we started turning up. Two since it started happening again.

[Which begs the question, when does it stop? Seventy-two beds on this area of the station. Are they planning to keep going after that?]

Viveca is the name of the AI that spoke to us all then. Some of you may have spoken to her already. She went missing though, a couple of days after we arrived. There was a power cut, she said something about an emergency mode, and then she was gone.

We got a delivery right before that though. Clothes, toiletries, books, food. A bunch of stuff showed up and got split out.

That was when there were twenty-seven of us. Looks like we've about doubled since then. So if you new folks needs something, ask. There's probably someone here who can help.

Speaking of, we're stuck relying on those drops to get fresh food. So don't hog it. There's kids here who need it too.

A guy I know. He cooks up huge batches of food at a time. If you're hungry, check the fridge. Nine times out of ten, he's left something in there you can have.

[And if not, giving Sam a look will probably be more than enough to get him to make something new.]

You've also all probably noticed that you can't get in to the Northern Wing. Its been like that since we first got here, and we've got no idea what's on the other side. It's classified, apparently. Messing with whatever's on the other side would affect us all, so I wouldn't suggest trying to break through.

Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on getting tossed out an airlock if I can help it.


[And that's it. No sign off. No goodbye. No anything. Sorry?]


[ooc: Feel free to threadjack as much as you like! Bucky's using this post as an information exchange.]

please tell me you ain't about to say you learned how to make instant ramen fancy by cracking an egg into it

I was fucking BROKE that was all the luxury I could afford!!

no I learned how to fry up some rice and shit. I'm not cooking at Michelin-starred restaurants any time soon but I can slap together a meal that tastes good.

I mean, we can work with that. please tell me you know know seasonings and spices beyond salt and pepper, though.
longoverdue: (dress up my fears)

[personal profile] longoverdue 2021-07-05 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
there are other spices besides salt and pepper??

no I'm fucking with you I know there's other spices. what have we got in the kitchens and how much of it is there?

don't play with a man's heart like that
kitchen's pretty well stocked on spices. I wasn't missing anything, and I'm from louisiana, so you know I hate not having a spread.
longoverdue: (but we're not complicated)

hate to break this to you but I’m a regular heartbreaker
just ask your mom

oh that’s good I was worried you’d say something horrifying like “it’s just salt and pepper and like two cloves of garlic”
idk how many people we’ve got now but your friend figures it’s at least over a hundred
I’m still kinda worried we might not have enough
and I’m not even thinking about people who might need to eat a specific thing or else my brain is going to implode

I'll be sure to bring her some extra flowers from you next time I visit her grave. might have to be prepared for my late pa to whoop your ass from the great beyond, though.

oh we absolutely do not have enough. we're gonna have to make a call pretty soon on what level of hunger we subject people do. I've been feeding our 'need more calories than the average human' people ice cream for that reason.
