[ The comms device is on for a few moments, the picture bouncing around one of the rooms like a merry go round, before it finally it settles on a messy long-haired young man. His eyes squinting at the device for a few moments. Not in confusion, more in annoyance. The camera shifts again as he lowers the camera enough to rest on surface before he’s leaning forward.]

First of all. Fuck this place. And fuck whatever bought us here.

Because while wondering around in space sounds like a fun idea. It’s less appealing in practice.

[ His voice is slow and careful, there’s almost held back humour at the whole situation. Because of course this would fucking happen to him. There’s a lull in conversation there, as if he expects someone to answer him. With no answer he continues.]

Fine. Does anyone have a beer at least? Because this shit isn't exactly the easiest to swallow.

Out of curiosity, if someone were to have a certain...affliction. Does anyone have any idea what this fun little ship would do to it?

Alright, fine, I'll just assume.

The medical bay probably has medication for people who are having trouble with itching in weird places.

[ You're just getting a frown at that dude. Because seriously.]

I don't have crabs or whatever the fuck you're implying.

Sometimes vague isn't better.

Lets just say you don't inspire trust.

[ He's lacking...vibes or whatever from you. The wolf inside isn't happy with him.]

I'd hope nobody around here inspired trust. We're all a bunch of strangers.

Might want to find a lot of teammates, though, for when the big problems come up.

You're aware statements like that don't help you right? Gypsy's tend to be more then fine being alone.

I just wanted to know if this ship messes people up.

What counts as "big problems?"

Well, that I can definitely answer. Just not concerning whatever you're bodily issue is. The ship does mess with people, sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident. Don't know if you were involved, but recently the ship forced a bunch of passengers to enter a big engineering maze to find a girl who had been breaking equipment.

And then everyone came out extremely sick from it.

That explains why half the people were vomiting on the floors. I wasn't there. I'd be what you call recently acquired. My bodily issue was a bad idea to bring up. Whatever effects this little joyride are going to have on it is..well going to be a surprise.

So it can get into your head? Make you do things?

The ship? Yeah. It's done a pretty impressive laundry list of things to people's heads. A few things include insomnia and creating masks that amplify their worst character traits.

You're like the least comforting person I know and I don't even know your name.

I'm Sam. And if you think that's discomforting, you should meet some of the other people around here.

Hate to say it, but the place makes people likelier to be wet blankets.

Peter. Oh. I have, vampires and other fun little things. Also, space.

So there's no fun around here?

Oh, good. It's better when the people I talk to get the big picture.

I'd say... the fun can be few and far between. But it depends. There are crappy romance novels in the library, if you're desperate.
