Not to add to the commotion of what's going on, but I wanted to see if anyone's been able to actually get their hands on any of the snakes yet? You know, the ones that apparently aren't native to this area. Embera, I think they're called?

I saw a couple people recently mention trying to eat them. And I'm not a master chef or anything, but I'm not hopeless either. I thought that if someone was able to catch a few we could investigate matters to see if they're safe and edible. I'd be willing to assist however I can. But admit my primary focus is on attempting to find a way to prepare something everyone would be willing to eat.

It's not ideal, but it's a way to try and get by every day until we're able to obtain the orb.

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.

lateness

Hello! [ The voice that all but springs into your ear, should you tune into this particular network post, is bright and cheerful and nearly bursting with an attempt at curbing his excitement. ] Hello, I'm the Doctor — just one of us staying on this station for one reason or another, hey?

I have some good news! Well, good news if you like waffles and popcorn, sometimes at the same time. No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. [ He will not be taking questions about this at this time.

He's a man of impeccable taste, after all. If you haven't tried fish fingers and custard yet, you are missing out. ] All thanks to the bits I've found in the lab, and perhaps a fair amount of boredom — time really does move slowly, doesn't it? — I've made a waffle maker! And a popcorn machine!

[ He pauses deliberately to leave room for cheers and applause. Or disbelief, there's always some of that too, he supposes. A video will flicker to life, showing the kitchen and a tall, chinny man in a bowtie and a fez staring back. He waves, then pans over to the appliances in question. ]

I've placed them in the kitchen; did a little reorganizing, you see. Feel free to use them, they're meant to be used. Ah — and don't worry, the waffles are supposed to look like ... little clouds. [ There's a beat. ] Sort of. They've still got the waffle-y bits though, that was important.

[ Yes! If anyone were to venture into the kitchen, they'll find said waffle maker and popcorn machine proudly placed on one of the countertops. They're both a little funny looking, not your sleek Kitchen-Aid/Cuisinart models from Earth, but a suspicious mish-mash of metallic bits and bobs. Aesthetics may have been low-priority but both machines will work! ]

Has anyone tried to put custard over popcorn before? Think I ought to try that.

[ Perhaps for everyone's sake, the video feed cuts off. And there you have it. ]

soups

Good afternoon to everyone. I recently went through the clothing supply in the recent supply drop and took more than what I needed or could wear. Most pieces are non-specific, but I thought this would be easier to give to someone based on advertisement.

❰ you shall now receive the following visual of a shirt, imprinted into your brain: ❱

( Read more... )

If there are any fathers aboard who would like this article of clothing, I would be happy to drop this off to you. Thank you.

longoverdue

I'm curious and I'm bored as fuck.

who do we think is fucking who on this ship? there's gotta be a hundred people here. there is no fucking way we're all virgins with purity rings saving ourselves for marriage.

I'd say under-21s look away but I've been a teenaged dipshit, you fuckers are going to want in on this gossip shit anyway. come get your - I think they call it "tea" on Twitter? it's been a while, I'm not up to date.

taciturnly

( moonlit tree stumps, given over to decay. rustling leaves, murmuring their own eerie language. water, trickling over stones and old roots, and against the bark of an oak, lan wangji, the planes of his face brought to bold relief by the crackling flames nearby. his headband is uncommonly crooked. his hair, stringier, skin maybe a bit sallow, and pale. in lieu of lithe, graceful movements, stiffness, the bow he offers as salutations almost a struggle. it’s a warning, essentially. a vision of what’s to come, if they fail to find a cure, a fate already known by too many.

but he hasn’t shown up empty-handed. there’s a piece of parchment between his fingers, and on it, a map, drawn somewhat shakily. it’s clear enough to depict the location of the palace, as well as a path leading much farther away, somewhere unmistakably foresty, with a name just above the final destination: yuryeong.

the visual fades, replaced by a texted message: )

The dead have spoken. Seek shelter, lest extraneous voices join theirs. We have heard the plea of Gyeongje, now we must heed So-Yeon’s truth.

( ooc; lwj was successfully busted out of the infirmary with mod permission before the Big Operation. he's now chilling in the ghost girl's hideout and since the way to yuryeong hadn't yet been icly shared... well, have a map! or imagine one anyway because my drawing skills are atrocious. also, he's turning into literal jade. expect answers to abruptly stop coming. )

soups

Hello. I hope that I am utilizing the communication device correctly. I am grateful that I have received leniency from the guards as I know some have been put into cells for indiscretions against the palace. Breaking rules is not something I am so accustomed to.

The point of my communication is that it isn't time for the scheduled meal they usually hold for us, so I can't simply put this onto a table for the public to enjoy. I have a moderate amount of soup to offer those who may want some.

I will try to show you somehow.

❰ shortly after the text communication comes a two second video of a wonton soup in a metal bowl, still steaming in her line of sight. ❱

I am located in the ninth room on the left side of the hall. If it is more convenient, I can also bring some to you.
