so is there a way of checking who's arrived on this thing besides the old fashioned hunt them down method? like a log of arrivals/departures or a sign in sheet or something?

asking for a friend.

could always put something they like on a string and then drag it til you feel a tug on the other end

I mean it's not the worst idea I've ever heard it's just a little..time consuming?? It's a pretty big ship

[sweetmotherofgod]

we used to have a sign-up sheet but it was voluntary. better than nothing, i guess, but not so great if your friends are paranoid.

[tectus]

yyyeah, we're kinda paranoid 101. not without cause, but i can't see him throwing his name on any sign up sheet

What friend could you possibly be asking for?

[WHO DO YOU KNOW AFTER LIKE 2 WEEKS?? Stop talking to strangers.]

[ no u don't octavia stop lying ]

[doggedly]

[tectus]

just a friend. maybe they're embarrassed about not knowing stuff yet.

...it's not the creepy off-ship people or anything.

What's their name? Somebody might be able to help you--they helped me find Tommy when I first got here.

[ what if she actually told you something a little closer to the truth newt, what if.

if only because vaguery isn't getting her very far, and anyway it's not like he'll go and tell her friends from home that octavia's priorities aren't in the right place. right? ]

there's someone called lincoln. from my home. i was with him before i got put here, and my brother and one of our friends were nearby too so i thought he might have got taken along for the ride.

kinda a mistrustful type, so that's why i don't think he would have been with the rush at the lockers, you know?

If there's a sign-in sheet, I've never seen it. Asking on this network is the most effective way, I think.

[And keeping an eye open during everyone's flood to the lockers, but there are so many folks on board, you can miss people there too.]

[tectus]

maybe someone should work on a roster. i mean i know it's not exactly high priority what with everyone's said about this place so far, but at least people would know who from their homes were here when they arrived and stuff, right?

[romancekiller]

i don't think there's anything like that as far as i know. seems like most people rely on this network if they don't see people after waking up from the jump [clarke is not even going to question the last statement because she can pretty much guess the reason behind this]

[ octavia is the smoothest and the most subtle....and thanks for not calling her bluff ]

yeah, that seems to be the general verdict. i'm wondering if it's not worth setting something up, honestly. not everyone would have to do it, but it might be nice for people to have something to reference when they first wake up, see who is and isn't around that they know?

[sacrifica]

A sign up sheet would be helpful. The ship's a little big to have to search everywhere every jump.

[tectus]

yeah, it's definitely way too big for manual searches. i mean i know not everyone wants to be on a list, but surely there must be a decent amount of people who'd want new arrivals to know they were there, right?

i haven't seen or heard anything.

[wow that took a long time for jasper to write.]

[tectus]

maybe we should set up a space. for like, our people i mean. we could have something down by the grav couches or the lockers, you know 'sky people + co meet us here'. that way if we miss them when we wake up, they'd know there was somewhere safe to meet up

[ 'weh weh my boyfriend is an antisocial grounder': first earth problems with octavia blake. ]

[wiped]

I look around at the jump. Every jump.

[ pining for teresa and gladers, tbh. ]

Otherwise you can call their name. Sometimes they'll answer if they know how to use their communicator.

[tectus]

You have people you're missing here too, huh. [ she's sympathetic. even if this isn't about her at all. nope. ] Do these broadcasts ever like, play automatically? Even if the person isn't paying attention to it or using it?

[kutte]

It's not like we're taking attendance.

[ though maybe they should, but that seems too complicated for this go around. ]

Who's your friend missing?

[tectus]

[ thank u for not immediately asking her if she really has friends jax ]

Just someone close to- them. I know everyone wakes up in the same place and all, so you'd think you'd be able to see them there, but he's- he'd be secretive, if he woke up before them. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd tried to hide out from the general...population.
