video; open || we've got five years, what a surprise

[chainreaction]

[When the camera feed switches on to show a young man with a distracted expression. He tends to pause just a bit too long between sentences and poorly maintain eye contact when speaking to the camera.]

Hullo, I'm Thrice and I was wondering if there's anyone else here who runs? I don't, I mean, back home, I didn't usually go with a partner, but I thought it could be a good idea here.

[He smiles, shrugs, and runs a hand through his short hair. Despite being in his mid-twenties, he's starting to go salt-and-pepper grey.]

Or, if you're, well, I'm in what's the future for me, and I was wondering if there's any other mathematicians or, ah, or computer science people on board? I'd love to talk shop. If you are. That is.

[ Cillian's got a cigarette, and his poor eye-contact is mostly because a) he's absent-mindedly screwing something together and b) he's accessing his device mentally so he doesn't really need to be looking. ]

Erm, hullo. I run, sometimes. Or I did back home. And I'm more hardware than software but it's still the same shop, I s'pose.

[chainreaction]

Oh, hardware! I've been looking for a, well, if the label is right, my locker had my research in it. On a flash drive. Do you know if there's anything that's compatible here?

[deprecate]

Yeah, erm, I've got a computer, actually, there's a girl who puts 'em together, but you can source the parts through scavenging the ship if you're bold enough, or buying off the scavengers, if you're not.

[Her feed's still from the kitchen, same one from earlier, only less candy. Actually, no candy. She ate it all.]

I don't run, but I'm pretty good at programming and taking things apart.

[chainreaction]

[Delicious candy. :9]

What sort? Of programming, I mean. What do you like?

[thenormalsquint]

The usual: C++, Python, Perl, Mathematica. I tinker with others when the mood strikes, though.

[chainreaction]

And what do you do with it all?

[thenormalsquint]

Usually for work purposes. There's programs out there that do what I need them to do, but then there are the ones that don't do exactly what I want to do and how I want to do it, so I say screw it and just write my own.

[She's being vague for a reason. It's not polite to say SO HEY I USE COMPUTERS TO SOLVE MURDERS right out of the box.]

[ You know what if he's looking for a running partner she may as well be honest with how she looks and not just surprise him. ]

I run! And on all fours! Though I suppaws I could do so on just two feet but that'd purrobably slow me down...

But aside from playing around in the Oxygen Gardens I haven't really found much reason to run around here, which kinda stinks beclaws I think I'm getting out of shape.

[chainreaction]

[Thrice blinks. Once. Twice. Then decides that if he can accept spaceships that kidnap people from other times and places, he can do no less when it comes to the people she takes.]

So long as the pace is good, two or four doesn't, doesn't matter to me,

[purrfectlycute]

How fast is "good"? Beclaws I'm pretty swift! I don't say that to brag, just that if we do run together, I don't want to wear you out.

[chainreaction]

I don't really know? I mean, I've done races and placed well, but for just running, I, well, we could give it a try and see?

[purrfectlycute]

That sounds purrfect to me, heehee!

Sorry, I haven't introduced myself, have I? I'm Nepeta, sir!

I used to jog two or three times a day. I've dropped it down to once here. [ for obvious reasons. who knows what the halls are going to do? or change to. or what's going to crawl out of a doorway. ] My name's Allison. In case you feel like checking out a path in the Oxygen Garden.

[chainreaction]

I would, thank you. I, well, I didn't think running alone was the best idea.

[He was going to do it anyway, but it's a bit better to have company.]

I'm not very, not very talkative when running, if that's okay?

[resurgent]

Probably because it's a terrible one. [ but she does it anyway. fight her. logic versus who has time for that? ] I used to wear headphones. I still would if I had my music here. I'm not complaining. It's more relaxing to run without having to talk.
