Welcome aboard to our new friends. Please pretend you can't see any of this.

Working on a cheat sheet of information for anyone too lazy to stalk other people's conversations. Two heads, etc. Feel free to pitch in, I'm sure a lot of you are better at stalking than I am.

Tranquility - government vessel, missing? Tech damaged.
Alexandrian - time period? Roughly 40 years prior to whenever now is.
Demologos - type of ship we're on, warship (w/Bram Stoker inspired modifications).
Ship name - Scylla (sp?).
Planets: Alexandria (wealthy), Hyperion (machines), Pasiphae (food), Sycorax, Ceres. Jiutian - possibly space station?

Crew names/count so far on the network (sp?? on all of these, but who cares):
Felix Laurens - Captain
Casey Kassandros aka Kasey with a K - Tech? laughs at our encryptions Probably not tech. Scared of water and girls. Not tech.
Hays/Hayes - Chatty Cathy. Mechanic? Probably looting tech.
Fields - Gun guy. Full of crap.
"Trixie" - ?? Name provided by Fields, accuracy suspect. Probably Juliana.
Noam - actually tech?
3x 2x (male) mystery guests

They already think we're amnesiac idiot thieves/squatters, so don't worry, there's no such thing as a stupid question. Or a reputation to uphold, pretty sure any efforts at negotiation were null out of the gate.

They can read everything, don't drop too much info on us if possible. If in doubt, try to meet with each other in person to discuss instead. In a perfect world this post is here to disseminate info on them, not us.

Disclaimer: They already know we're clueless as to our how/when/where/why (or really good at pretending to be clueless), so if you're going to yell at me for making that even more obvious, I'm only mildly sorry.

p.s. dear Casey, is the anonymous function in the useless camp too? Anon irrelevant.

SHOOS YOU AWAY

[growling]

Which part?

[ seriously, he's pretty sure all of this qualifies for a sarcastic reassuring. ]

[chuffle]

Knowing they can tell who you are even when you're anonymous.

[growling]

Well, apparently we're the iPad 3 to their iPad 4. But considering how quickly tech becomes obsolete in the 21st century, I can see how 40 years is enough to make a bunch of idiots on a ship with a jump drive look like that weird kid who still had a pager in the late '90s.

[chuffle]

Well, you tried. It's admirable. Or something like that.

I'm really sorry I brought up space pirates now, though.

[growling]

Yes, I was planning on blaming you, so I appreciate the apology. Are you in the gardens?

[chuffle]

I knew it!

Yep. Watching over the frightened and the lonely.

[Actually, she is.]

[growling]

That's very noble of you. I'm sure I'll see you there at some point. I'm not sure why, but it's difficult to feel appropriately threatened by space pirates after mutant who knows what.

[chuffle]

I think we're going with rats.

Come down and hang out with me. So far so good.

[growling]

I might. I've got a few errands to run. You know, anti-pirate defense measures.

[ not at all true, he's going to go gossip with another nerd. ]

[chuffle]

[There's a confused pause, here.]

All right then. Good luck with that.

[growling]

[ don't judge him!! ]

That was a joke.

[chuffle]

Well, I don't know, maybe you combat piracy in your free time.

[growling]

Internet piracy maybe. Except not even remotely that. What, you don't think I could handle a few pirates?

[ no ]

[chuffle]

Do you want me to answer that?

[growling]

Only if you intend to lie and make me feel incredibly masculine.

[ as if he cares about feeling incredibly masculine ]

[chuffle]

[A CONSIDERATION]

Oh yes. Protect us all with your wily, pirate-fighting ways, Will Turner.

[growling]

Will Turner. Really? Orlando Bloom with a tiny mustache is what passes for manly these days? Maybe I'm not as beyond the pale as I thought.

[chuffle]

I don't know. He was always way too foofy for me.

But better him than the other scourge of pirate I thought of, which was Jim Hawkins.

[growling]

What's so bad about Jim Hawkins?

[ no really ]

[chuffle]

Well, he's prepubescent.

Are you prepubescent, Josh?

[growling]

Okay, fair point.

[ but he likes jim hawkins daphne ]

I've been told I'm almost completely hairless, though, so maybe it's an apt comparison. I'm sure you'll appreciate the irony.

[ werewolf tho ]

[chuffle]

You're almost completely....

[....]

You know I don't think I actually have a response for that.

[growling]

... on my arms. I mean my arms.

[ oh god ]

[chuffle]

You could have probably specified that.

[growling]

Hey, you're the one jumping to conclusions that happen to be located in gutters.
