004 ☀ video ☀ i miss you

[ Jaye's sitting in the Oxygen Gardens, tucked away in a back corner near some grasses. She's wearing a plaid mens shirt that she hasn't worn out in public before, watching a grasshopper that has landed on one of the leather wristbands she got in her locker this past jump. Unlike her previous network experience this month, she looks more subdued; she's been doing a lot of thinking lately. ]

Nobody knows for sure where people go when they disappear from here, do they? I mean, people say "home", but we don't... know.

[ She turns her wrist, watching the grasshopper. ] And we don't know what the fuck anyone's up to without us, either.

[ The insect hops away, out of sight, and Jaye follows it with her eyes for a moment before looking back at her network device. ] ... Right, well. [ She shakes her head, smiling -- anyone who knows her well enough or who is particularly good at reading expressions should be able to tell it's forced. ] I've got some fun questions now. Favorite animal back home and why? Animal you'd consider the most dangerous and why? [ Yes that is somehow a fun question. Danger is fun, right guys? ... Right? ] All you people who aren't from Earth, you should tell me about the animals you guys have. It'd be interesting to hear about the differences.

((ooc: If you want to have your character find her in the oxygen garden, feel free!))

[David looks briefly but very intensely amused.]

All the more reason you should ask for their story.

[However, he's eager to accept an invitation to speak on the camels again.]

Dromedary camels occur widely through the Middle East and were used in the film Lawrence of Arabia, and of course the historical account upon which it was based.

By all means. I assume you have your reasons.

[Far be it for him to tell her to feel differently, although it's most likely she means medical doctors, and would find Shaw and Holloway inoffensive if she met them. Of course, some people are irritated by academics as well.]

Yes, it is. I highly recommend it.
