When you’re a kid, maybe you say to yourself:

"I wish I could go to Disneyland."

"I hope I'll get my cock sucked by fifteen. By sixteen, I better be banging someone in the back of dad's favorite car.”

"One day, I’ll get into Harvard and become a brown-nosing yuppie making bonuses bigger than my insecurity complex. I’ll get married even. Have a kid, maybe two. A dog. And if I'm really lucky, I won’t be miserable.”

Those are the sort of wishes that come true. The mundane ones. You don’t say: "Well, one day I’d really like to go up into space. Maybe spend a night or two in a space ship. A journey through space? Oh man, why not? Not like we've only gotten as far as the moon. ”

And then, bam. Space.

Life doesn’t work like this. You don’t get what you want and when you do, it never comes free. So, what’s the catch? Probing, space slugs taking over our brains, being sold as human cargo to a far away planet, a floating menagerie? The options are endless.

((ooc: If you guys could hit up this permissions post, it would be much appreciated. ))

except there are different levels of getting fucked over. am i going to just total my car, or am i going to be flung out
and dragged across the pavement? is it just annoying, or life or limb?

like this? being stuck here, in this jump suit, talking to someone who sounds like some preteen youtube trolling douchebag? that's annoying.

Are you seriously telling me that you woke up in what's obviously a haunted-as-fuck derelict spaceship floating ominously through deep space with no apparent direction that we know of, a crew full of what appears to be extras from a bad fantasy movie about elves and shit, and you don't know how you even got here much less why you're here in the first place, and you're thinking there's a chance you might not be about to be Victim #43 in the newest Jason Vs. Freddy In Space horrorshow?

like i said, no one just hands you a free ticket to another universe without expecting something in exchange. whether that means our pain or sanity, i don't really care. fact is, someone's -- something's -- is gunning for us, but whether i let them? that's my choice. and that's why i need the specifics.

if you want to be ms. scream your head off, useless horror movie victim #44, go right ahead.
