intro weekend

[verminous]

Say, you all right after that shock earlier?

[hi! i didn't tag you there but i'm saying he saw anyway.]

[rav3n]

[POOR SWEET LUKE who is unfortunately in my Midas hands of shiplessness... I'm gonna take Jan's crown at this rate

Luke makes an annoyed face, but he nods.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Their firewalls are pretty good.

[verminous]

Guess that's no surprise, with the kinda tech they've got around here... at least it was just a warning.

[some companies would just straight up kill you for trying.]

[rav3n]

Yeah. I guess it fits in with everything else they've got set up, even if it doesn't make any sense.

[As in, a company usually wouldn't destroy their curious little newbie employees, even though... none of them should be here.]

[verminous]

Most of this doesn't, so it fits in that way too, 'ne?

w0 monday

[verminous]

[today gregor is at the observation deck, chilling with an unlit cigarette in his mouth as he looks out into space. the vibes are curious, mostly calm.]

Say, you think it looks any different out there today?

[rav3n]

[Congrats on the cigs, sir. Luke wanders out to join him; his own vibes are also curious, though Gregor might pick up on a faint undercurrent of pain.]

Hmm... It's hard to say. I used to go stargazing with [Jimothelle] someone when I was a kid, but it's been a long time.

[verminous]

[his own emotions are briefly muted, picking up on that, but they fluctuate more or less back to normal.]

Hard to remember without trying to mark 'em down. We only saw them every so often anyway-- sky's pretty blocked in some parts.

[rav3n]

Maybe we should. Even if we're in a different galaxy, it might help.

[But I had enough of mapmaking as Kaveh so that can be someone else's job.]

Blocked out how?

Week 4, Wednesday

[rav3n]

[Woboji is here after the paintball match!! For the most part, it keeps to itself, watching from afar... but when it spots Gregor, it will wheel up to him.] Doing okay after that auction?

[verminous]

Oh- yeah, I'm fine. Don't have to worry, I'm used to this stuff.

[squinting... at woboji...]

[rav3n]

[Continues to be Woboji pretend the code is here]

That's a little concerning...

[verminous]

Ah, it's all part of the job, robo-bud.

[still just watching this weird little robot. hello.]

w6 monday

[verminous]

[we're in rat race because he's still checking out old locations here, he's new.]

Huh... I guess it's an interesting set-up, at least?

[rav3n]

[This is a great choice because Luke loves Rat Race, he is such a jock. He's probably here finishing up a workout? THERE ARE NO GARTER BELTS.]

It beats jogging on the beach! I got a little tired of the cold after a while.

[verminous]

Can't blame you.

[he's probably here to get a bit of a workout in... the jock population slowly increases. sort of. less that he's a jock and more that he's accustomed to needing to stay ready to fight.]

It's always good to have something like this, anyway, I'd have missed it if we didn't have anywhere at all to get a little training in.

[rav3n]

[JOCK BUDDIES JOCK BUDDIES!!! Luke perks up at this.]

Yeah? What do you like to do? [Is Gregor a cardio kinda guy or does he lift bug weights]

Week 6, Thursday

[rav3n]

[SETS THIS FOR POST-RATS... HYELP

Luke got hit with the trauma beam and dipped out pretty quickly, which I'm sure wasn't concerning at all? But maybe Gregor was distracted and didn't notice. It's fine. Whenever he escapes the flood, he can probably find Luke somewhere with a hot drink, rubbing at his wrist, and staring into space... though he musters up a weak smile for Gregor and nods at him.]

Hey. ...Sorry about all of that.

[verminous]

Nah, it's fine. That kind of thing's not your fault, we all know we just get dragged off sometimes.

[and it's always for TRAUMA. memory trauma specifically.]

...you all right, or is it still hitting you?

[rav3n]

[Opens his mouth to say he's fine, because he has never once been honest about his feelings and he isn't about to start now]

I felt like I was never going to see her again.

[Okay

Well that answers that]

[verminous]

...someone you know, I'm guessing?

[like, not to pry, but.

would you like to talk about it, luke.]

w7 endgame

[verminous]

Long day, huh... ah, this is the best Saturday we've had in a while though.

[we're hanging out wherever i only have void in me tonight]

[rav3n]

[You are so valid]

Not last week?

[THEIR TRIUMPHANT RETURN]

[verminous]

We still had more to take care of, last week, even after we all got back, but... this feels more like things are really handled.

[rav3n]

Mm, that's true. All that's left is getting everyone back home, safe and sound.
