ataraxion | 01 ; video.

[ the video feed flickers on, showing a face peering way, way too close into the camera, squinting at it curiously. it takes jion a moment to realize that it's recording and pull back, gingerly moving his hands away from where he's set the device down on a table and sitting back in his chair. he smiles at the camera, but his smile has the distinct edge of something nervous and awkward about it. ]

Uh. Hi! It seemed like saying somewhere here was the proper thing to do, so I thought I should do it. Um -- [ a pause as he looks off to the side, as if he's been taking notes on what to say. ] I'm Jion. I'm a combat medic, though I was on leave right before I ended up here. So, I guess that was pretty funny timing?

[ a somewhat nervous laugh before he continues. ]

But uh, I'm pretty boring.

And I was more interested in -- . Like, I heard we're in space, and this is a spaceship and all, and I heard that there're othe -- uh, that there's people here who aren't just normal humans?

[ he sounds a little more excited now, sitting forward to look into the camera with great anticipation. he almost seems jittery at the prospect of non-humans being here. ]

An' I think that's so cool! I don't want to be rude or anything, but I really wanna know more about that. Uh, if anyone wants to talk about it, I mean! I'd appreciate that a lot.

you should ask them about their genitals they love it when you do that

what

isn't that really rude

or is that an okay thing to do here

bless you no its not even a little bit rude
you know weve got werewolves
how do you think dogs say hello

speaking of if you notice someone sniffing your anus its probably best not to run away too quickly

it's really cool that theres werewolves here but what if i don't really want to know about genitals

or butt sniffing

i mean if people want to talk about it i guess that's okay

but that wasn't really what i was thinking of when i wanted to learn things about people

well dont come crying to me when they get angry with you for not thinking of their genitals

but why what did you have in mind

wait youre joking right

no one's gonna get mad because i didn't ask about their genitals

alright no not mad per say
but they might consider you very impolite
apparently its a supernatural thing the poor bastards cant ever seem to shut up about their cocks
youll get used to it eventually

[ oh god why ]

are you speaking from experience

like have you had a lot of conversations with werewolves and other people about their genitals or is this a secondhand observation

[ welcome to space ]

yes i have in fact had many conversations with werewolves and other people about their freakish genitals
i wouldnt lie to you man

so you're some sort of werewolf penis expert now

i guess thats kinda cool?

yes i suppose thats an accurate description
and yes it is very cool
you could be as cool as me if only you werent such a pussy

hey thats uncalled for!

it's not my fault if i wanna know more about stuff like where people are from and what they can do than what goes on with their crotches

like what their names and their feelings
p
u
s
s
y

thats not what i said!

how does not being curious about people's dangly bits make me a pussy anyway that doesnt make sense

why are you curious anyway have you really not got anything special in the shithole you call home

[ he does not know the answer to your question so he is changing the subject!! ]

not really it's mostly just normal people

[ pause. in a second message: ]

i mean i guess there are some people who arent normal humans but thats not really public knowledge and they probably wouldn't just be allowed to walk around free and stuff because it's not normal so seeing a lot of people here is kinda surprising

[ whoops nervous rambling ]

so if they arent public knowledge how come you know about them

[ nathan young, good at paying attention when you don't want him to. ]

[ oh shit uh ]

cause i worked with a few people who worked with that sorta information

[ TECHNICALLY this isn't a lie ]

what sort of information are we talking about exactly
come on give us the details

just you know i was with the army and you kinda hear about this and that if you stick around with those guys long enough

did you ever medic them

[ uhhhhhh shit does it count if it's himself. ]

yes

sorta?

how the fuck do you sorta medic them
does that mean they died
are you a shit medic

hey i'm a good medic i haven't had anyone die while i was working on them! i just mean like uh i guess im not sure if it counts or not because you know what exactly counts as a nonhuman and things like that

[ bullshit levels reaching critical threshold ]
