so many bright and shining new faces all ready to be just as confused and lost in space as we are. the more the merrier

misery loves company especially in the vast expanse of space
for anyone else closer to the 21st century it really isnt as exciting as everyone makes it out to be. would much rather be on a cruise ship

how is it decided who gets pulled onto this damn thing anyway
id like to know what my chances were
i did a fair amount of gambling back home but if getting thrown here was some one in a million chance perhaps i shouldve invested more in the lottery.

[ Dryly; ] It has been a while since I visited the gym. Must keep up appearances, you understand.

I need to know what you're thinking.

[ LOOK HE'S INCLUDING YOU, ARI. Also, referring to Tommy here -- ]

I don't think I need to further clarify that I'm not that one, either?

For what it's worth, space cruise ships can make for a nice holiday.

[ Sorry Kasumi there are people who LOOK AND SOUND LIKE HIM and he'll stick to being texty for now. :( ]

im fond of cruises for the company, for the scenery, and for the lovely ocean breeze
i can think of at least one of those things where a space cruise would fall short.

[ what is it with you two and never showing your faces to her on the comms? :/ ]

Have you talked to them yet?

[ If you use video rn he'll go ahead and reply to you with it, but instinctively he's just always kept his face off public communication okay. ]

I have no plans to, as of yet.

[ Hey, having only just stopped the all-text all the time herself, she actually admires it more than anything. ]

I'll give you that. But there's nothing like kicking back with a glass of ice brandy while you fly over a light echo in an interstellar cloud.

having no idea what any of that looks like i suppose ill just take your word for it
though i prefer my brandy served neat, myself.

[ that's what you meant right. brandy on the rocks. because what the hell is ice brandy otherwise!! ]

That's good to hear. I can't think of a worse crime than adding ice to a decent brandy.

[ Definitely not fraud or theft or anything like... ]

[ but you just said you liked ice brandy. you know what never mind lady you seem classy that's good enough ]

no worse crime indeed.
youre making me miss home comforts, dear. what i wouldnt give for a good glass of wine

and a nice place to enjoy it.

[ stupid spaceship . . . ]

[ well she is just going to stick with voice now, she seems to have gotten use to it with you guys. (doesn't mean she doesn't want to see you both in person soon though) ]

Why? Least via text you can pinpoint a few things don't you think? It would be nice to know what the hell is going on with them.

[ honestly, ari? he isn't talking to them because it fucking freaks him out. :( ]

I'd rather not jump into anything so quickly. It might be safer to avoid them entirely, but we'll see what Arthur has to say after he tests the waters.

[ haha yes throwing arthur to the sharks. but no really he's the point man, eames is just letting him do his job. ]

Besides, dear, [ sounding mildly indignant that Ari underestimated his awesome talent ] I can tell plenty without having to speak to them directly.

[ she can only imagine, sorry eames. :/ ]

I'm willing to talk to Bob. I sort of...I sort of thought he was you already. [ and she is sorry for that, okay? can you hear it in her voice? ]

[ brushing it off; ]

I noticed.

Just be careful, Ariadne. [ more grimly; ] We don't know what we're dealing with.

I know. [ which honestly sounds like it makes her more nervous. ]

Look, we need to get together. I need to talk to you and Arthur. There is some stuff I just -- we just need to talk. [ because she isn't sure if she should be talking about it on these things. ]

I mean, the little girl I know - Chase - she thinks something is wrong with the ship. Maybe..maybe this is part of it.

[ stop talking to projections you poor sad girl ]

I'm not sure we have that much to talk about, unless you've learned something new. The less all three of us are seen together, the better, I think.

Are you sure you know who you're talking to, when it comes to -- the little girl you know?

[ It makes space sense, okay? I can do what I like, dad. ]

You could always set something up in one of those hologram rooms. I haven't tried it myself but at least it would be a change of scenery. All the identical corridors are getting a little old for me.

[ eames will get this text at about three in the morning, several hours after his post went up on the network SORRY, BUDDY. ]

i don't know.

ive never tried, but holograms cant be the same.
wonderful and convincing as a dream might be itll never quite replace reality

even if reality is a dull corridor-filled spaceship

[ arthur will get his reply practically instantly, because fuck sleeping. ]

-- You must think something.

Edited 2012-01-20 21:59 (UTC)

[ She makes a humming sort of agreeing noise. ]

They're popular in some establishments I've been to, and useful for some things, but I'd mostly agree. A hologram is always going to be limited by how interesting its programmer is. Reality isn't.

[ well SOMEONE needs to get the answers in this group. :| ]

There is a lot we have to talk about, Eames. There’s a man that thinks he is dead - or died - it honestly doesn't matter. [ yes, have a moment of silence for you to think about that fact. (can we say; shade anyone?)

adding: ] And there is even a man that specializes in some form of neuroscience. Which I honestly think goes far beyond what he is hinting at. But nonetheless, he knows a hell of a lot about the mind.

[ SO VERY CALMLY ]

You're putting a lot of stake into information from people who might not be real.

eloquently put.
reality is interesting and uninteresting of its own accord

There is a chance every last one of them is a projection. But I'm willing to take my chances on whatever they are willing to give us. If it is going to be at all useful to us, then I really don't care where it comes from.

[ sounding more frustrated then anything now. (sorry eames) ]

Look, I'm not going to sit around and wait for things to happen. Clearly things need to be figured out. So if it takes me talking to every last one of them on this ship, then I will be doing that.

Your determination is admirable, Ariadne, and believe me, I understand where you're coming from. I'm hardly to sort to enjoy idling about in the middle of god knows what and having no clue how we got here, where we made the mistake, if we made the mistake at all.

Neither is Arthur. [ A pause, and with a sigh; ] And love, if you haven't noticed, if there are two copies of me running around someone obviously wants something with me.

It's not about waiting around for things to happen. It's choosing our moments, and just being careful.

-- Especially about what people say.

[ a small sigh came out on her end, as she just fell silent a moment, considering all that he was saying as she did. ] I know. Bob [ yes, she knew his name and their chat had been interesting to say the least. ] I'm not sure what to make of them, and I honestly don't know what you must be feeling over it. And I'm sorry about that.

But I'm just saying, people are starting to form groups, if we don't get involved, we may never find anything out.
