[ There are a lot of reasons to post something like this. Carolyn is ignoring the ones that are more personal to her, but she makes it text to prevent anything from leaking through. ]

If you were to leave the ship right now, permanently -- whether it was on a shuttle, to a station or new ship, or a planet -- what is one thing you would try to bring with you?

Other than people.

A book passed down to me by my grams. It's always been in my family. I don't think my ancestors would be happy if I left it on a spaceship. And it means a lot to me.

Do you know what you'd bring?

[suddenlycaptain]

What sort of book?

A knife a friend made me.

[ Sorry kitty-cats. ]

[deagle]

Is this a "what would you want on a desert island" kind of question?

[suddenlycaptain]

I suppose. Though where I'm from, it'd be exactly how I stated it.

Yes?

locked.

[wolfchild]

[ lived it already, it sucked. ]

what is this for?

locked.

[suddenlycaptain]

if we have to leave, I want to know what kind of a mess we'll be dealing with trying to get people and important supplies on the shuttles.

My dogs.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ She despairs of all of you. ]

what are they going to eat?

Text

[lafautedevoltaire]

Is there food in the place we're going to?

Text

[suddenlycaptain]

maybe. maybe not. if there is, it might not last.

[faithlessly]

what would YOU bring

[ come on, he's curious. ]

text;

[suddenlycaptain]

my knife.

[ Gavroche is bringing the food. ]

[megalomaniacs]

[He's bored; that's the long and short of it.]

is there a point to that question?

[suddenlycaptain]

making people think.

THIS STRESSED HIM OUT

[allbloodyhail]

[ he had started to write peter before he even read 'other than' and before he realized it wasn't something he wanted to say publicly. then he repeats the same process with poetry because seriously the little space cred he has left is not getting wasted on admitting his most treasured possessions are a handwritten book of poetry and his boyfriend.

what is this ship doing to him? ]

from here?

[ despite all of the stupid belongings he's acquired, suddenly they all seem REALLY stupid as he's trying to measure each against the other and prioritize. ]

a tea kettle.

LMAO spike u ok bro

[suddenlycaptain]

... i hope you put tea in it.

[He actually doesn't have to think about this before answering (and even if he did, he probably wouldn't, let's be fair here), but it takes him a moment to figure out if she would accept his answer as it is or not.]


So do weapons count as one thing, quote unquote? Cause I got several.

[text]

[suddenlycaptain]

one weapon + ammo for it would count as one thing.

[hypospray]

medicine.

[ oh i'm sorry did you say one thing? ]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ At least it's a smart answer. ]

any types you'd be sure to grab?

[trouvaille]

Practical answer, warm clothing.

[suddenlycaptain]

very smart.

Voice;

[skjalf]

Something to keep warm, be it clothing or a blanket.

The other obvious answer would be food.

Voice;

[suddenlycaptain]

Somehow most people are missing the obvious answers.

[altercate]

Why.

[ begrudgingly acknowledging stiles friends, that's a thing. ]

text, auggielocked;

[suddenlycaptain]

[ weh stiles ;; ]

because I don't trust half of these people to know how to survive, even if they had a detailed guidebook in front of them.

[briefly]

Nothing, I think. It's not like I brought anything of value with me to begin with.

I'd just want to go home.

[suddenlycaptain]

and if 'home' isn't where we're headed?

[doggedly]

dear captain are you planning on leaving us

[suddenlycaptain]

no. though sometimes it's tempting.

What?

[suddenlycaptain]

... There's a text-to-voice button.

[specialism]

Weapons.

[ he's got priorities. who knows what one might encounter? ]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ these priorities are her priorities ]

what kind?

[text]

[yardbird]

The birds, probably.

...

Definitely. [These cursing bitches are his avian children now.]
