_{[ Waking up in blue goop and being told what to do and where to in a strange place that wasn't her era at all wasn't the best experience for this disoriented soldier. She was struggling to keep her balance and there was already so much to see and do.
Hange thought she was still having a very realistic dream. Her profound thoughts gather in the shower (which was also a very, VERY, cool thing) as she regains a little more consciousness. She doesn't straight up use the funny looking device she was given, but instead decide to explore her surroundings and take in as much as she can— even get acquainted with a few people. Her first initial report is through this fascinating texting feature that she doesn't really understand how to use. Therefore, there are several errors and lack of enthusiasm in her message. Probably for the best for now. ]}

_{[ The text switches to video. There's an eye, and some brown hair— looks like goggles instead of glasses she's wearing. Then, we see her concentrating hard with the tip of her tongue out at the feed before she pulls back, blinking a few times. She looks like she's in her twenties with a long, slender body— hardly any curves at all. Looks like she found her jumpsuit too. Her voice is rather deep, but bursting with an intrigued tone. ]}

—Ahhh! Aah-HAH! I think this is working probably. What an interesting trinket! What is inside of it? I was told that I will be able to communicate with others this way and, this is... astounding! I have never seen anything like this before in my life!

I want to tear it apart!

_{[ Well. That escalated quickly. For somebody first brought on this ship, she seems to be taking things well. ]}

[nightblogs]

Uh-huh. And do you feel the same way about human bodies?

[titanfanatic]

_{[ the correct answer would sort of be yes-- but.. ]}

There are writings out there that explain why a human body functions like it does.
However, I would love to have the opportunity to see things for myself instead of illustrations.

This? I have never seen before! I believe somebody called it similar to a cellphone when I asked, and I don't know what that is either.

[nightblogs]

I dunno what the policy is on these thingamabobs, but just letting you know - opening up bodies to look inside is generally against the rules. Of living.

[titanfanatic]

Rules?
Whose rules?

_{[ she's only done a little bit of talking with other people. ]}

I'll talk to them about it. Because this thing is.. totally cool.
Let me guess. Same people who branded me?

[nightblogs]

Y'know. The rules of people who like to stay alive. Common sense too.

Dunno who branded you, though, so nobody cares about those.

[foundafamily]

Tear it apart? What the hell for?

[His loony alarm is going off...]

video;

[titanfanatic]

To find out what makes it tick, of course!

video;

[foundafamily]

Pretty sure you coulda' picked a less violent way to say that...

[He shakes his head.]

And, anyway, who cares? It works, isn't that enough?

[titanfanatic]

How will you ever learn the vast detail about things without seeing how they operate? You never know when that knowledge might come in handy one day.

[voice]

[testgasm]

Don't--don't take it apart! I mean, unless you can--you can put it back together. It's useful. To have. Lets you talk to everyone, so.

video;

[titanfanatic]

_{[ oop. Mysterious voice and no video. Hange wrinkles her nose a little. ]}

I'm sure I'd be able to figure it out!
Hmm, all I'd need is the proper tools, then I'll know precisely how it works.

In fact, there's a lot I'd like to know about here!

[testgasm]

[video is for people who are not ashamed of their lumpy weird ginger humanness]

Yes, but that doesn't--you only get one, are you sure you're going to be able to put it back together?

[titanfanatic]

Well, we'll certainly find that out, won't we!

_{[ Hange. Where is your logic. Are you still disoriented? Maybe a little.
Then again, she didn't have much logic to start with. ]}

[voice forever!]

[ryuuzaki]

[The voice is youngish, male, mostly bored, and more or less British. At the moment, it carries a mild hint of exasperation.]

Please don't try to take your communicator apart.

[Because if you do that, then it will most likely become his problem, and it's not a problem that he wants to have.]

you've got it mister ryuuzaki. permavoice.

[titanfanatic]

Possibly not, the more I think of it— but the actual desire to learn more about is still there.
It's a burning desire.

[ryuuzaki]

Burning. Hm.

[Ordinarily, this is where he might suggest that someone join Comms, but if she's interested in taking things apart... maybe not just yet.]

It's too bad you weren't here last month... there was a lot of construction and repair to be done in Engineering. You would have had a look at the inner workings of the ship. As it is, there may be departments that can put your interests to good use.

Who are "they"? You referred to "them" in your initial message.

[titanfanatic]

Ahhhh! I would have loved that! Is there anyway I could look for myself?

_{[ Ryuuzaki. No. You're giving her ideas. ]}

A-Ah, sorry! They. They're the beings that have eaten almost all of mankind— where I come from, at least.

_{[ she seems so casual about it. ]}

[starked]

have fun not talking to anyone after you do it then.

[ actual faith she can put it back together: zero. ]

[titanfanatic]

_{[ oh sheesh somebody texting give her a good long while.. ]}

has nobody ever tried to look in side it?
though i would suppose not people seem accustomed to this technology it would make things a lot easier back home

[starked]

[ wouldn't be the first time he's on the receiving end of slow texts. ]

even i know better than to fuck with it.

[ that's maybe a lie, he knows better not to mess with his own. ]>

the ones of us who know how to do it— normally do it at home don't give enough of a real fuck to. the others just— don't do it? let it do its work? decide it's magic? take your pick.

[titanfanatic]

can you tell me how it works ?

_{[ she's asking the wrong person entirely, but she doesn't seem to care. This guy is responding to her, so she'll take any response she gets.
Even his snarky ones. ]}

and the blue material we all got stuck in what is that?
are we being tested on? what year is it now?

_{[ look what you're getting yourself into. ]}

[voice]

[yardbird]

Take it from somebody with experience, that device you're plannin' to tear apart is not the kinda thing you wanna be without 'round here.

voice;

[titanfanatic]

Hmm? That so?
Well, from the looks and words of it, I would say you're correct. I've been informed this is the only method of communication here, right?

_{[ but Hange you just said— ]}

voice;

[yardbird]

Yeah, and unless you wanna risk gettin' lost in the hallways and potentially starve to death, I suggest you keep yours on you. [Says the guy who constantly forgets to bring his around. Or, well. That was an old habit. He knows better now.]

voice;

[titanfanatic]

There is so much to learn about here— I cannot help but feel the immense urge to pry everything apart!
How do you fight that sensation?

_{[ hange you're the only one that feels that sensation. ]}
