Asking for a friend–

( asking for himself; also eff intros, who cares. he sounds breezy enough, but those who've known him for a while might pick up on the thread of agitation running through his voice.

him, getting anxious about perfection? as if. )


These personal goals; what happens if you don't fulfill them? Anything I ought to be concerned about?

( could he have asked this like... a while ago? yes. could he have asked one of his fellow orbers on the silent plunder? also yes. )

Secondly, what's the situation on bringing stuff back to the station with us?

I had an interesting discussion with the innkeeper last night.

He told me three stories, stopped, then started all over again. I feel like I just ran into an NPC or something, you know? Maybe we're in a video game.

Has anyone else experienced that?

I guess we should probably chat about everything else too, huh.


[ for reference. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. ]

( Tony looks neatly composed and quietly serious, backlit by dappled sunlight. )

Morning, everyone. If we haven't met before- very likely -my name is Tony Stark. I've got a few things to cover; promise I'll be brief.

First, there will be a small celebration of life for Natasha Romanoff in the Sunlight room this Sunday at noon. If you knew her, even in passing, you're welcome to attend.

( He lets that sit for a second, like he can't let the moment go, the finality of it, before he continues, a touch more light: )

Second, I know a lot of us took a pretty stiff beating a week ago, and there's some sad, busted gear on the station. I can repair almost anything that needs it, short of slapping on a fresh coat of paint, so I'll be in the lab daily for the next week to address any immediate needs.

Lastly- ( the image zooms out to showcase Tony on a jogging path bordered by trees and a body of water, with a familiar big city on all sides. A bird sings from somewhere in the foliage, it's real pretty and he put effort in, okay. ) -I'm starting a station running club. Inaugural meeting is in thirty minutes in the simulation room. I'll be tidying things up until then.

Thank you for your time, all that jazz.

[It comes on the network like an intrusive thought -- because it is. Because Shinjiro can't sleep, even with all the talk of distracting activities like movies and pumpkin carving and costume parties. (Where do you even get costumes on a spaceship, anyway?)

Because he can't stop thinking about what Olexa said in that building, at the end. Would you die trying to get that stone back? Cheri's motivations were selfish, but then, aren't theirs too? So-Yeon's hadn't been, and while she'd surrendered the orb, what if she hadn't? What about the next mission?]


do you think the orb is worth killing people for

I made a promise. It's been four years. I know it's taking me longer. Because I refuse to go about it the easier way, but. I'm trying. It's why I'm here. A promise I made to my younger brother, Alphonse. And I know I'm on more limited time to keep that promise the longer it takes us to fix things.

I just. Can't help worrying. I'm not used to being apart from him. Realizing how bad I can be without him prodding me to get something to eat or go sleep. Don't suppose anyone has advice on figuring something to help with sleeping? Or at least just. Sleeping without waking up from nightmares?


[Because. He is not the best at taking care of himself left to his own devices for the most part. He's not been without Al since the younger Elric was born that he can recall. Or at least not for this long. For months like this. Ed's always had Al there to fuss at him to ensure he eats or gets some sleep. That he doesn't get cold sleeping with his stomach exposed or whatever little thing. Ed doesn't have that here. Not anymore. And it's still taking some adjusting that he is finally admitting he might. Might need help on. This particular time of year won't be helping either, given the date. This being the month he and Al burned down their house to leave to get their bodies back.]

yo, okay, so: hear me out

maybe i am going way too west side story with this, but i've really been thinking about it and does anyone think we could make a good show of family loyalty by some kind of stand against an opposing one???

obviously we don't have to REALLY hurt each other or anything, just, kinda, make it look like it. like a flash mob only with less dancing. unless you wanna dance and i guess then i wouldn't stop you i am just not sure how many points you'd get with the big guns with dance moves. unless they're really good dance moves. or the other families seem more into that sort of thing but lionetta is kinda not that vibe just saying wait what was i saying

right. flash mob. that's like, more of an actual mob. only with fake fighting. like wwe. just maybe don't hit anybody with chairs. or maybe you can, just ask first?

y/n/peter that is a seriously terrible idea? i dunno it was just a thought and i guess now that i thought it with my earpiece in all of you have to hear it sorry about that

oh yeah my name is peter, so, uh, hi i guess.


( and with that, Peter either physically took out his ear piece or spontaneously managed to stop thinking. I don't know about you, but I'm really guessing it wasn't the second one. )

[Look who's finally using the video function! It's seriously tripping him out, but he's doing it!

The video shows Dusty standing at one of the big counters in the mess hall area, and he smiles warmly at the 'camera' before talking, a little hesitantly at first and then more confidently.]


Hi guys!

I know there's been a lot of messages with information for all the new arrivals, but I thought I'd add one to the flood.

My name is Dusty, and I've been mostly in charge of the kitchen. With help, obviously! A lot of really great people have volunteered to help with cooking and rationing and cleaning and all sorts of things.

But we can always use more help, so just a couple quick food and kitchen related things...

[He takes a little breath and looks a bit awkward for a moment, a hand coming up to the back of his head so he can rub blunt nails against his scalp.]

So, first, if anyone is good at cooking or other general kitchen work, I'd love if you'd be willing to help out. We need people to help meal prep, do the actual cooking, share recipes, all of that. Viv promised me a little smokehouse on the next supply drop, and while I know the basics, it'd be great if anyone has particular skill with preserving meat or other supplies in one.

[A pause, and he's visibly trying to word what he's going to say next.]

Okay, and second, just some general questions. I'd like to know if anyone has any special dietary needs. I'm a werewolf, myself-

[For a second, he looks surprised at himself, then he carries on with obviously forced confidence. Still not used to just saying that.]

I'm a werewolf, have been since I was five, and even though I have it totally under control, I know how it is to need something like raw meat or something else to keep sane. So no judgement if it's weird, I promise. If you don't want everyone to know, you can send it locked here or drop me a private message.

Also, I'd love to know what people's favorite foods are! I can't promise anything, but I like to cook what makes people happy, so if I run across the ingredients, I'll do my best to do it justice. Just let me know what it is. And uh, if you have any questions feel free!

[OOC: I know Sims 4 icons aren't for everyone, I have an opt-out here if you'd rather my little picrew cartoon icons.]

[It's that time again! ...good luck, Ximilia]

So, it seems to be just over sixty of us now. More than double the amount that was here when I first turned up. Looks like some of them left though, so I guess they changed their minds.

[Not that he knew most of them. But he has eyes. And a need to keep track of things like that.]

Far as we all know, this is the third time people have been brought here. Ninety-one days since we first started turning up.

Now, I ain't saying I'm an expert. But I'm just going to field a few questions before they come up.


[And undoubtedly leave it to the actual professional once the follow up questions come]

Yes, there's another area called the Northern Wing. No, we can't go in. Yes, we've met someone who seems to live on the other side. No, we can't talk to him.

[Except...that last part might not be true. He hasn't actually asked Viveca if they could talk to him]

We're meant to get a supply drop once every thirty days or so. Spare clothes and supplies are all stored at the end of the common room. You need something specific, speak to Viveca. Ain't promising she'll be able to get it, but can't hurt to ask, right?

If this is your first time in space, talk to Jim Kirk. He's been running sessions for anyone who hasn't been off planet before.

You need to eat more than the average person here, let Dusty Fields know. High calorie rations are marked, but he's keeping track of supplies with a couple of others.


[Oh, right-]

Guess I should also add, you want to get laid, talk to Newton Geiszler. I'm sure the Doc would love to give you a little TLC.

[:D]

If you've got any questions, you're looking for Sam Wilson.

[:D :D]

Welcome, new meat! My name's Newton, I'm your kind and welcoming local scientific genius rockstar. Pleased to meet you, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Important things to know about me: I love rock music, I love playing the guitar, I love being elbow-deep in my xenobiology work, and I love finger foods. Also, I have a winning personality.

There's approooximately 35 to 40 other experienced weirdos lurking around this ship, same team as you, not including our lovely AI Viveca — who you can so lovely call 'Viv'! So I figured I might as well give you all a heads up about each and every one of the unlikely and likely heroes roaming these halls.

[The following is an audio-to-text recording called 'Meet the Crew!'.]

MEET THE CREW IF YOU DARE )

And there you have it! Your wonderful, super capable, super talented Ximilia crew! I'm wanting the full details of you new people in return, just for the record. A/S/L, hobbies, special skills, deep dark secret backstories, all of it. Fork 'em over now, or it'll be off to the airlocks with you. Chop-chop.
