[A soft voice speaks that sounds very much like it belongs to a girl, but anyone who's heard Kurt speak before can probably recognize it. It's been a while since he's posted anything, but this has been on his mind since the outbreak.]

I don't talk to very many people here. It seems odd, doesn't it? We're all on this ship together and yet our interaction with one another is quite limited, at least in my experience. It seemed as though a terrible outbreak of illness is what it took for me to meet new people, and I-- I hardly think that's the best way to go about things.

[A slight pause.] I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I guess this is me asking if everyone is all right since the illness. Not just those I've spoken to-- Everyone. When I went hunting for the cure, I traveled with so many different people--most of them far more, ah, experienced with handling such situations than myself, but...that didn't seem to matter. We all worked together, for the most part, even when those--those terrible things attacked, and... [He clears his throat.]

Anyway, I'm not going to post a survey to fill out or anything, but I'd like to get to know some more of you. We're all in the same situation, aren't we? And I don't want to wait for another emergency to form allies in this place.

So-- How are you? Are you all right since the illness? What are your favorite ways to pass the time around here? It doesn't really matter to me where you're from or what your past was like. We're all here together now, so... I think it's better that we stop thinking about what makes us all different, right?

Did you know any of the people who...er...didn't make it?

[Particularly those who died in a rather public explosion]
backwordscompatible: (concentrating)

It hurts less, for one.

But if you were on one of the missions to help find a cure, maybe you're not as disconnected as you think.

Well, one o' them chewed on me shoulder, but other'n that I'm all right. Uh-- I'm Jack, by the way. Don't think we talked before.
backwordscompatible: (grateful)

[She can always appreciate a touch of humor.]

I know I wouldn't want to go up against someone with a taser. After all, I grew up in Manhattan; we know what's what.
allucinator: (nervous: er--)

[personal profile] allucinator 2012-07-04 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Er-- sorta. Kinda. I mean, it don't hurt much, don't take it like that, it's just gonna scar a bit. Er-- anyway. You got a name?
backwordscompatible: (proud)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-07-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Zatanna. You?
allucinator: (talking: coffee is delicious)

[personal profile] allucinator 2012-07-04 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Bout-- oh, I don't know. Two, three months ago, maybe. You?
backwordscompatible: (focus)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-07-04 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Me too.

I actually didn't even know them too well. They were really more like friends of friends...but thanks all the same.

No kiddin'. No sun and a weird clock that goes past 12 and all of a sudden you start forgettin' what's day and what's night.

Where you from? And when you from?
backwordscompatible: (crockblocked)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2012-07-04 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's alright. This isn't the first time I've lost someone.

And I'm not really sure. There must be some place around here. Maybe in the Oxygen Gardens?
allucinator: (talking: mild disbelief here)

[personal profile] allucinator 2012-07-04 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, a midwest girl! Me, I'm from New York, meself, an' 1899 to boot.
allucinator: (happy: surprised)

[personal profile] allucinator 2012-07-04 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Manhattan, to be even more specific.
backwordscompatible: (not feeling much better)

If not, we could always make something. A small shrine. It would only take as little as some rocks and flowers, really.
