01 ( video ) ✂ ICE TO MEET YOU

[WOW THIS POST IS SO EXCITING no, psych. it's an average man, holding his communicator in such a way as to just film his average face and average neck and the average background behind him. yawn. he appears to be wearing some kind of red t-shirt, and his expression falls somewhere between neutral and friendly.]

You know, most every kid dreams about going to space at some point, but I gotta say this isn't exactly what I pictured after seeing Star Wars for the first time. No stars, for one thing--you'd figure that would be one of the perks. A whole lot of walls, though. I'd ask about the resident status of little green men, but that might actually be offensive. [SHRUG. his smile is easy, if a little self-deprecating.] I've always been a Xena guy, myself. Funny how things work out.

Okay, okay--I did have a question when I started this, I swear. As a special bonus, it won't even start an ethics debate. This is an open network, right? Like one big interstellar Craigslist, internet arguments and all. I've already done some of the recommended reading--very informative, by the way--but in my experience there's not much an FAQ can do to replace real... experience. So. What's one thing you wish someone had told you when you first showed up here? Anything at all, doesn't matter what. [one corner of his mouth twists up for a moment, as if to say well, what can you do?] Not sure how much I can offer in return right off the bat, but hey, give me a few weeks. I'll owe you one.

[he pauses, looking at the camera with a wry edge to his otherwise still friendly grin.]

Also. Has anyone been able to figure how we end up with the stuff in our lockers? I mean, the--selection process. Because I for one would love to know the reasoning behind this. [he lowers the camera slightly to reveal that he is, in fact, wearing this.] Not disputing the logo, by the way. Just curious.

Oh yes, countries! I've met a few of those! Um, that is... the ones who have taken on human form. Yeah I don't fully understand it either. But I've met America and liked him quite a lot!

[ VERY TRUE I mean sure the corn is everywhere but still better than gators. ]

Are you from there? America, I mean. Or Nebraska. Both. I've heard wonderful things about that country!

[ All from America and John. Because they're not biased at all. ]

[Murphy just as easily shrugs it off. He's seen plenty of death not to be terribly scarred by it.]

Not really. I didn't know the guy personally. Better to hear it from me than from someone who did, though. [Because that really would've just stirred up bad memories.]

They are rare where I am from as well, if it makes it feel less impolite for staring.

I don't usually ask for things.

I'm a little more partial to the Boston area, but to each their own. I hear Nebraska can be quite beautiful if you go there during the right time of year.

That's true. Could be worse; we could have no clothing or shelter or even food.

I thought California was for lovers.
Or, you know, Paris or something.

Frostbite isn't fun, man, but I think I understand what you mean.

[ Isaac's always going to be the sort of person who prefers chilly weather, even if just as an excuse to wear long-sleeved shirts. Those are comfortable, and they're a personal armor. It's easy to hide bruises, even though he doesn't have any to hide anymore. ]

Funny thing, though - I don't think I've ever watched the TV shows on that guy. Or the movie. Have you seen them?

Mn... [Murphy isn't going to touch that one. PTSD and reliving horrid traumas are not things he's any stranger to.]

That's about it, yeah. Unless you've got any other questions you'd like answered.

That bad, huh? [ Isaac huffs a tiny quiet laugh. ] I dunno, even the girls seemed to have beards back then if you believe the movies about that time.

What is a high school? [ Asking questions and watching humans attempt to explain is becoming her favorite activity. ]

It depends on where one goes. The humans are common in their cities, the elves in the Alienages and their forest camps, the dwarves in their city, and the qunari to the north.

Lovers were never trustworthy. Just look at Romeo and Juliet, they're full of bad ideas.
