XX1: Getting to Know You
That debacle was pretty much something out of an extra terrestrial movie where various sentient beings are abducted from their home planets and jam-jarred for observation. The subjects are convinced that their confinement is inescapable, gradually assume complacency, and adapt to their new lives under the oppressive scrutiny of a humongous totalitarian microscope. They eventually all but forget Big Brother's watchful eyes behind concealed cameras recording everything down to the minutiae of their daily lives, and any genre-savvy movie enthusiast could easily tell you what's soon to follow.
It's actually not half bad. I'm sure someone out there has had it worse.
Let's get down to business. I'm taking a roll call.

text; forever late
[ Fictional as it sounds, you're just totally not helping Erik's paranoia right now. ]
text; better late than never! XD
While I can easily produce an exhaustive list of specific titles, it would quickly become a somewhat long-term project,
And I'm not entirely sure how well that'd bode with you.
How long have you been on this ship, and what are your thoughts on our arrivals?
text
Been here for 5 days. Not long enough to form much of an impression, if at all.
text
Are you saying that you prefer the long-winded or verbose in nature?
I attempted consideration by presenting an opt-out before delving into an exhaustive list interminably recited in text form and rendered in splendorous orange.
Would you rather that I indulge you anyway?
Regardless, I posited this scenario in attempt to ascertain the allegations of this spacecraft's cryptic nature as mentioned by another passenger upon my arrival.
Who's to say any of it is true?
Then again, who's to say that it isn't?
text
[ Not that Erik was irritated by the constant text and the bright nature of it, he simply believed in getting to the point rather than drawing out conflicts and issues in favor of action. ]
Though I’d prefer you indulge me before opting to make assumptions as to what I’d prefer and what I don’t.
text
Sure thing.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence,
But is oppression a topic of interest to you?
[He doesn't normally take this direct an approach, but this guy's kinda blunt with him. It's worth a shot.]
text
[ A little more than just an interest; it's been something he's obsessed with for quite some time. ]
Hence the reason for the question in the first place.
text
Same here.
Unfortunately, it appears that no one really knows who or what brought us here in the first place.
Even though we don't know why we're here, we're simply expected to run the ship and play house because the original crew went missing.
It's not that I mind having to get along with people if they're willing to do likewise,
I just don't see the point of running the ship with a mishmash of random people from different times and places.
There's got to be a catch, like this is observation or an experiment,
Because what other reason could there be?
Re: text
Experimentation, more than likely. Why else would you deliberately mark us in a way that we can't rub it off? Forcing the number of us to get along will only end in failure, given the amount of dissenting opinions on board.
