First Clue - Audio/Text

Nov 28, 2009 00:00

[ The first sound out of the comm was a suspicious thump thump thump. Someone’s testing to see if it’s on, maybe? After that, someone whistles what sounds like the acknowledging warble a computer might make. After that is a long, tense pause, followed by a grunt. The audio flicks off, but typing starts after a few more moments. ]

Gunney? Dare?[ ( Read more... )

Get ready to be ridiculously miserable.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 17:44:17 UTC

So just a typical day?

Sounds like you've had a pretty bad one, ma'am.

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 17:46:21 UTC

Do your days consist of consecutively being on a boat and making friends, only to have 'em just ripped away? Then yeah, typical day.

You could say that.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 17:54:43 UTC

[ That's... way too similar to his normal life. Really. He shifts, pausing for a long while before continuing to type. ]

You could say that.

Well, sorry to hear that.

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 17:56:33 UTC

...Really. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, too.

My name is Mikaela, by the way. I'm assuming you're new, considering what you broadcast over the comms.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 18:03:31 UTC

It's war. It happens.

Yeah. Sorry about that. Everyone calls me Rookie.

[ It seems appropriate here. ]

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 18:04:59 UTC

...You're right, it does.

Well uh...I'd rather we met in different circumstances, and I'm sorry if I came off...pissy.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 18:39:22 UTC

You have to make due with the circumstances you meet in, I've found.

It's all right. It sounded like you haven't had a good day. It's understandable.

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 18:48:14 UTC

Yeah, pretty much. I mean overall this place isn't so bad, I'm just...getting a little sick of certain things.

Still. I'm not normally a rude person or anything...

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 19:00:39 UTC

Like making friends and having them ripped away?

Everyone's allowed a rude moment or three.

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 19:11:13 UTC

That'd be one of 'em, yeah.

I guess you're right. I can like, maybe show you around to make up for it? At least the important bits. Like, where the food is and stuff.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 19:34:32 UTC

I'd appreciate it, if you don't mind leading me around.

[ He doesn't mind following. He'd been following street signs since he got to New Mombasa, after all. ]

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 19:45:20 UTC

I don't mind at all. Where's your room?

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 20:08:01 UTC

Let me check.

[ Wandering out into the hall to check his room number... and futilely pull at one of the swords fused to the wall. ]

My room number is 6216, if that means anything. And how the hell did they get these swords to stay on the wall?

Re: Text chopshopgoddess November 28 2009, 20:15:35 UTC

'Kay. [She waits, then coughs to cover a chuckle when he comes back.]

No weapons are allowed to passengers on the boat. [She hops off her bed and starts that way.] I can find you, I've gotten to know the ship pretty well.

Text huragokwhistler November 28 2009, 20:24:10 UTC

That explains a few things. [ Like where his guns and grenades went. ] I'll wait here.

[ He stays out in the hall, after closing his door. Just to keep an eye on the hallway. ]
