Apparently I'm going to have to pretend to be a squishy organic for this next mission, so I need to learn how to do things organics do.
I think I can figure out most of it (though I'll accept advice if you have any).
There's just one thing I don't get:

Hugs.

Therefore, I'm doing research. Please vote in the below poll.

[ OOC: feel free to comment and tag around as desired! this is a free-for-all! ]

fuchsiative

[ if someone told clarice she'd be reaching out to the rest of her cohort almost the instant she finds her footing on the station, she'd have laughed in their face. frankly, she would have preferred to keep her head down, stay out of the way until she was needed.

but some things were necessary, and dealing with a whole set of people whose backgrounds and experiences she had no clue about necessitated some information-gathering.

reaching out anonymously seemed like a good compromise. ]

mutant

[ she's here for one reason, and one reason only. making a list of those she had to steer clear from is only going to help her achieve her goal in the long run. ]

what does that word mean to you?

homeostatic

( It's Friday evening, and there's a familiar drawl on the network: )

Well, I suppose I'm proud of some of y'all. Nobody burned the place down.

Getting right to the point: how many of you have fallen asleep and sworn you'd gone home? To your home universe, I mean, not necessarily your literal home.

( and some of the good humor's faded from his voice, more serious now, )

I heard I was asleep for four days, but I just spent a couple months in my own world.

bindsthedead

[Sabriel's voice sounds alarmed and exhausted, like she's just run a marathon.]

I'm not sure what's going on in this town, but we need to figure out what it is, because right now it feels like I'm either going in circles or running into a wall.

As far as I can tell, the people here are alive- and so were the bandits that attacked, I felt some of them die, and their corpses felt like corpses- right up until they just... vanished a few hours later.

[Which is... disturbing, but between the tasteless food and the apparently mindless locals, it's not that surprising. Except for...]

And it wasn't just the bodies. When people die, it leaves an... imprint. Something any necromancer could sense. Except when the bodies vanished, so did that imprint. And even before then... when I went into Death to speak with them, there were no spirits around, and I don't think they'd have passed that quickly.

Also, before then, when I visited the graveyard... well, it felt like I'd expect a graveyard to feel like, except- the most recent death happened a bit over a year ago, a man named Glen McGuire. And everyone, with absolute sincerity, gave me wildly varying accounts of his death, with only a few similarities between them.

I don't think the people here are going to be a helpful source of information.

[And Sabriel takes a deep breath, because this is the most alarming part.]

I also tried to feel if there were any recent deaths in this town that no one told us about. At first- it was like something was blocking me. Then as I kept pushing- it was like the Kilnan mission, when the orb tried to feed on us. I had to stop trying before it drained me dry, but- I believe the orb is within the town somewhere, rather than outside of it or hidden in the mines.

[And Sabriel takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself.]

I'm not sure what sort of bargain was struck with the orb here or what the price was, but I'm not sure how much of what's happening in this town is truly real. I suspect that the orb started feeding on me because I got too close to the truth- but I'm not sure what that truth is.

Also... The goal I got from the orb is to seriously injure one of the crew. I'll heal you afterwards, of course.

[ooc: Feel free to use this as an information sharing post, if you'd like.]

unbreachable

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. ]

droide

Out of curiosity, does anyone here feel the need to celebrate any non-Earth based holidays?

I guess most of you lot seem to be from the worst-named-planet-ever, because ever since I arrived, it feels like all I've heard about are various Earth holidays and Earth traditions. Each of which makes less sense than the previous one, by the way.

I don't celebrate any holidays, necessarily. But it seems to me to be a bit one-sided. If anyone else has any suggestions, you should speak up.
