[ October got back from her definitely unintentional escapade into the depths of the ship a couple days ago, but she's been lying low since then. She hasn't even bothered checking in with her friends, but that was mostly for fear of them asking questions she doesn't really feel like answering. But right now, October's got her own questions: ]

I know there are plenty of people here who have gotten things in their lockers after their original jump here and I had a few questions for you. 1) How many people has this happened to? 2) What did you get? If you feel like sharing. No hard feelings if you don't. 3) Do you have any idea/possible theories about why you got what you did? Or got something in general?

I'll answer your questions, but tell me first: why do you want to know?

perma non-anon text on her end.

[gothchicklit]

Just curious. I haven't gotten shit since my first jump and was wondering if there was any sort of pattern/reason for other people getting stuff. I doubt it, considering where we are, but anything's possible.

i got drugs once

not sure why though. seems pretty random

text;

[gothchicklit]

What kind of drugs are we talking here? Tylenol, pot, something harder?

[showbizpanache]

I got some of my favorite outfits. Maybe the ship could sense how much I hate that ugly jumpsuit, who knows.

text;

[gothchicklit]

If that was the case, I think there'd be way more better dressed people up here.

[logicunlocked]

Other than some clothes the only thing I ever got was a souvenir from a training accident. Showed up just this jump, matter of fact.

text;

[gothchicklit]

What in the hell is a souvenir from a training accident? Did you get your partner's bloody shirt?

text;

[vindicating]

Mostly clothes and a couple of other items from home, not much else though.

text;

[gothchicklit]

Over how many jumps?

permavideo

[askedtobe]

[ not to break your brain all over again, october, but.... ]

You ever gotten something before?

SCREAMING FORVER also permatext for the time being even though it's awkward.

[gothchicklit]

[ October usually tries to match whatever type of feed the other person is using, but there's a reason she's sticking with text right now; she looks like complete shit. ]

Nothing extra after my arrival jump, no.

When did you get back?

text;

[redhotsummers]

you okay? I missed you.

text;

[gothchicklit]

Yeah? I missed you, too.

[ She's ignoring your question, Alex. Sorry. ]

i got some fruit from where i used to live but it was a long time ago.

i thought it was because i was hungry. but there are already things here that are good to eat.

text

[gothchicklit]

If they were worried about our hunger levels, they'd figure out some way to get way more fresh food up here.

I got an alien in my locker!
BOOYAH I BET THAT IS BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE!

oh and a gun.

I remember getting some other crap too but not really what they were. It doesn't really happen too much but sometimes i see people trying to totally auction off their junk on the network like yello, i've got shit if you wanna trade so i guess it happens to everyone!

[gothchicklit]

An alien? Seriously? Why would you get an ALIEN?

[ Yeah, she doesn't care about that rest of that, not when he opens with alien. ]

[handelaar]

Books. Tulips. My rabbit. Football shit. Plants. Some other - [huff] - stuff that sucked.

voice;

[gothchicklit]

That's a pretty decent haul, though. Better than what some people have gotten.

The only thing anyone's been able to actually tell me is that it doesn't work like Christmas.

text

[gothchicklit]

Probably because there's no way Santa would step foot in this place. It's too fucking depressing.

[ And terrifying, but you know. That much goes unsaid. ]

1) Technically none of us can answer that unless we actually keep track.

2) Things from home. My dog. Though technically she wasn't in my locker.

3) The ship wants to mock us with stuff from home. Or just mock us in general.

text »

[gothchicklit]

It was more "Has it happened to you?" than asking if anyone actually kept track of anything.

That'd be pretty messed up if she was.

And here I thought I'd get an answer other than the one I've already figured out myself.

Plenty, some of my favorite articles of clothing and a horrible set of books among other things, and that depends do you want to hear a nice idea or not.

For the record, the list of questions makes this feel almost like an interrogation.

text »

[gothchicklit]

What books? And yeah, I'd rather hear horrible ideas than none at all.

Difference is, no one has to answer my questions if they don't want to. And I won't hold that against anyone. It's just curiosity.
