[Someone is standing outside of one of the holodecks, just kinda looking for a while because, okay, some secret nerdy side of her is all about just jumping in there and trying it out, but the part of her brain that is still stuck on the fact that this is too fictional for real life is keeping her outside.]

Hey, so. Who wants to show me how these virtual reality rooms work? Or whatever they're called. I'd just take a swim, but I haven't been given a bathing suit, so. Looks like I'm at the mercy of whatever this room is capable of to relieve my boredom.

[She grins; clearly in a good mood but no she is not sharing why.]

Really though! Somebody get over here and walk me through this, I don't wanna cause some kinda meltdown by misusing the thing.

Well! If nothing else, this whole mutiny thing really... shined a light on just how impossible it is to get a reaction or even get some attention from the captain. Which means I'm clean out of ideas how we can try and talk them into sending us home.

[No, she isn't checking on you both. That's crazytalk. That is absolutely crazy talk.]

[Encrypted Message to: JOHN EGBERT.]
[However yes, she is checking in on you, dude.]

Hey kid, it's been a while. How've you been?

Encrypted Message Jack Does Not Know How To Send

[bottlearum]

[Hello, Wichita! What a lovely view of the brig you've got here. Oh, but there's also a smirking Jack Sparrow.]

Aye, what-his-name didn't get the attention o'the cap'n. But why should the cap'n pay any attention if he ain't gotta step in?

[the_vishual]

It's fairly straight foreward, miss. I could come help if you desire.

[dubiously encrypted this guy chucked a cake at his wall anything he touches is dubious]

[zoosmell]

i am so good, it is almost like i am golden.
i mean, yeah, some people i know went away...
but they'll be back!
and they will be exactly the same.
so it's ok?
even if rose doesn't know all the things she used to know, she is still rose by any which way name shape or form.
i think walt whitman said that.

Yes, the captain did seem rather absent during the whole event. I haven't got any ideas right now myself though.

I stayed out of the way when it happened.

[player_not_slayer]

Wait wait wait, hold the fucking tits. You mean to tell me there's been holodecks on this stupid ship this whole time and I've never seen them?

[He has been so bored so bored no one has any idea how fucking slow these last two months have gone by. No video games, not even getting to log into Kable for some cathartic shooting practice or anything. And there's been a source of entertainment aside from trolling the network this whole time just sitting there and he didn't know about it?

The universe is so unfair.]

it's okay, wichita learned first thing how do encrypt messages!

[cons]

[.........................squint.]

Jack, where are you?

[ dubiously encrypted~! ]

[cons]

I guess that's okay, yeah. Tricky either way - cause it's nice to have friends here, but it's also kinda nice thinking they're home where they belong? But I'm glad you're nearly golden, either way.

Nope, Walt Whitman wrote... well, I have no idea what he wrote. You're thinking of Shakespeare. But close enough.

[cons]

We sure do. ['hold the fucking tits'. where do kids come up with this crap.] I think there's one on every passenger floor. Not that I've been on every floor. Do you know how they work?

encrypted

[cons]

So did I, not worth the freaking mess.

Just thought I'd check in though, make sure I didn't miss anything. The tension on this ship lately is driving me nuts, and I don't even know the half of what happened.

[zoosmell]

oh, yeah, i know a lot of shakespeare!
like...
if you judge people, you have no time to love them!
that is some deep shit right there.
anyway, everything is fine!
everything is absolutely fine.
it's really fine.

[cons]

Yeah? Have you used them before?

[cons]

That's one of my favorite quotes by him.
Sure about that..?
Triple fines usually mean maybe-not-fine. Unless you're just really hyper...

[zoosmell]

no, i'm really fine.
super fine.
excellent fine.
anyway, how have you been doing?
i am glad you are not dead, because kissing is a lot of work.
and kinda cold with a dead person, i guess.

[player_not_slayer]

[He's from a pretty fucked up future who knows where he gets it from.]

They're probably pretty easy if they're anything like my computer at home.

Give me a moment and I'll be right fucking there, man.

[He is so not going to miss the chance to fuck around on a holodeck, no way.]

[cons]

Who's kissing whatnow?

[cons]

Sure thing.

[She'll just... wait right here.]

[zoosmell]

oh.
it's just a thing, i guess.
that's how you bring people back to life?
kinda?
it's not that bad.

Seriously? That's how things work where you're from?

[Holy shit Simon's voluntarily leaving his quarters for once what is this bullshit. Luckily he'll hit up the right floor to find her at, after taking a few wrong terns to find the holodecks in the first place. Why this place didn't have a fucking map is beyond him.]

Hey. Someone call for tech support?

[zoosmell]

uh, kinda.
i mean, not where i come from!
but kinda where i come from.
it might work here, but i don't really want to try and find out.

[cons]

Just sounds like something out of a fairy tale, that's all. And yeah, that might be gross. I'm kinda flattered, though? That you'd do that for me. If I died. Right.

Anyway! I'm very much fine too. About to try this holodeck thing. I'm hoping it's like a big video game.

[zoosmell]

kissing friends isn't really that bad...

what are you gonna do on the holodeck?
because if it's fun, i am totally going too.
you will not be able to stop me from the going.

[cons]

This is going to sound like the lamest thing in the world, but I haven't had a friend in a while? A real friend, so. It's kinda cool.

And I'm not sure what they do yet, so I can't really guess what I'll do in it. But you're more than welcome to join me, if you want.

[Wichita's just hanging out right outside the door, though with that greeting she can't help her short laugh, the judgey way her arms cross over her chest.]

Wanna try that one again? And maybe sound less like the first line of a porno. [She's grinning though, so obviously she's not... actually offended.]
