[Some people may have noticed an absence since before the last jump. Even when the passengers were awoken, Bass made sure he found isolation before any familiar faces found him first. The entire process was different this time around: yes, he still felt sick and his telepathy had become once again erratic, but he knew where he was, he knew what had happened, and he knew what mattered. He also knew that the clock was still ticking.

It's been over a month since he's last fed, now making its way to the second month mark. That means things are going to change - that he's going to change - unless he does something about it preemptively.

It means that someone has to die.

The audio feed clicks on, running silently before he speaks. Words are then recited from memory, taken from a prayer of warning he was taught many years ago.]


In the quiet of the night the sky tore open, and from the holes in the skies monsters began to descend upon Earth.

[There is more to it, but this is where he deliberately stops. Bass wants to know if anyone recognizes the tale of how his world came to be. He wants to know who could find out what he is, even if that person is just his sister.]

... is it dramatic storytelling time now, sir?

[ it's a really, really lame joke disguising concern because what on earth is this supposed to mean ]

You're teasing everyone with just a preview, then?

Aah. [ trying to identify someone, then? ] Is there another person you're searching for?

[ gosh, this sounds really grim. ]

... may I ask how the story continues? If it's not a sore topic to discuss.

[ oh wow. ]

Ah -- it sounds like this place might actually be a bit of a welcome change, then.

[ a small sympathetic noise. ]

Quite understandable. Regardless of everything else, the presence of a familiar person does make a huge difference, I suppose.

Aha! I suppose the gardens are always available for a change of scenery, but it's rather lacking in variety?

[ since he's from a more desert environment, soysauce really can't complain about the oxygen gardens. ]

Mm? What about myself, sir?

[personal profile] shoyu 2012-06-11 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, an excellent question. [ after a moment of thoughtfully rubbing at his jaw, ] I suppose it's nice not having to be wary of bounty hunters, but such a drastic change of environment is still hard to get used to.

The topic never really came up before.

[ have a stupid, sheepish little laugh. ]

I'm not a criminal, though, so please don't worry! It was, ah -- a personal thing.

[personal profile] shoyu 2012-06-11 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Aha, I would hope that's not the impression I give!

[ totally taking that as a compliment. ]

But I've won a fair few grudges against myself where I'm from, and it's a relief they haven't followed me here. Goodness knows there's enough going on already.
