intro weekend

[verminous]

[throwing a dart. they are at the observation deck, where gregor is leaning against a wall and looking out.]

Y'know, this doesn't seem so bad. Can't beat the view.

[agamid]

[ It IS a nice view... ]

Are you not privy to the stars in your homeland?

[verminous]

Oh, there's stars, sure. Seeing them like this... it's something else completely.

[being in space... waow.]

[agamid]

[ he nods slowly ]

So it is. [ ... ] Though I cannot help but wonder if some terrains are not meant to be traversed.

[verminous]

Some probably aren't. But if this is one of 'em-- it's a little late for us now.

[agamid]

[ snorts ]

So it is. Perhaps you are right to turn your attention to the positives. I take it space travel is uncommon where you are from?

[verminous]

Pretty uncommon. It's not out of the question... but I don't think there's much interest in it, or somebody'd be going already.

[agamid]

Oh? Is there something else that fascinates the people?

[verminous]

Money, mostly. The fact we haven't worked much on leaving the ground's probably got something to do with the higher-ups not thinking there's much in it for them, in return for their investment.

[agamid]

[ huh ]

Quite unusual for powerful men not to consider how they might plunder new areas.

[verminous]

They're plundering the ones they've got well enough. Guess they're comfortable... or opening things up more would be an issue for 'em.

[agamid]

Too much effort not enough reward?

[verminous]

Or at least no confirmation of a reward they can keep control of, which is about the same to them.

[agamid]

Perhaps it's for the better. As I said, there is no need for man to spread himself across all realms.

[verminous]

Had some issues with that where you're from?

[sounds likely, anyway...]

week 0, friday, titan's call

[agamid]

[ someone is here, and he looks ANGY!! he's probably so wrapped up in his mind palace of violence that he doesn't notice gregor until they almost collide... ]

Ah- apologies, Sir Gregor.

[verminous]

Just Gregor's fine.

[all of you people are so formal, damn.

his own mind palace is not so violent. frustrated, definitely, but still pretty restrained; he's busy cleaning up in here. there's some broken glass by one of the walls that he's dealing with.]

[agamid]

[ he likes his formalities

he frowns when he sees gregor cleaning and then





joins him ]

What happened here?

[verminous]

Harley happened. Flung it at the wall after we woke up in here.

[what's he supposed to do, leave it...]

[agamid]

[ they're cleanin' ]

You were trapped in here then? Did you also fall asleep without realizing?

[verminous]

After a while of being stuck in here, yeah. I wasn't even drinking.

[so it wasn't that.]

[agamid]

[ he nods ]

I was in the observation lounge with several others. [ ... ] We witnessed Luke fall, as you may have heard.

[agamid]

Mostly of conquests on land. There has been no time that I know of where nations weren't squabbling over territory.

It seems foolish to let it spread even further.

[verminous]

...yeah. I heard. No idea what could've happened with Dahut, then.

[of course dahut would be a fuckin mystery]

[agamid]

No, none at all. He was fine when I saw him last.

[ sadge ]

But I expect that he was killed by someone or something.
