un: gorgug, text ( a day into the mission )

[tinflower]

Hey. What's everyone found out about the mission?

Do we want to share what jobs we have and if we need anything? I'm working engineering in Sprawl. How are people in Dreg? I heard it's bad?

[ ooc: An info-sharing post, if people would like that! It can be used throughout different points of the mission, and maybe if people have made network posts on their toplevel posts, they can link them in here, w/e w/e! Please feel free to tag inside freely. ]

do you need a non-biting method to deal with people who harass you?

[miniroth]

Biting isn't my usual go to it's just strangely appealing. I have other methods.

[tinflower]

some people are like that. okay

is there anything you do need?

[miniroth]

I might be one of them, maybe it's a side effect of what was happening before coming here. At least I'm not venomous anymore.

Many wants, few needs. I can tolerate this as long as necessary. I can. I just don't want to.

[tinflower]

were you turning into a spider?

i understand. i guess if there's anything that would make it a little more comfortable, one of us might be able to help? i don't know really

[miniroth]

A green dragon. Spiders might have been equally horrifying.

I'm hoping to at least find somewhere to get clean at some point but it is not especially high priority. I haven't heard or seen anything that might advance our purpose here either, unfortunately.

Then again I haven't been moving much.

[tinflower]

oh. you never hear about people turning into dragons. unless they're already a dragon

asking about a king but trying to blend in is pretty hard, to be fair

[miniroth]

I suppose it's possible there's always been some dragon, but I don't have any reports to say one way or another. Doesn't really matter anymore.

This is true. Nothing quite points out you don't belong like asking after the obvious to anyone who is normally there.

[tinflower]

as long as it doesn't start up again. are you worried about that? i guess i wouldn't want to turn into anything else either

and there's no newspapers to read. i tried reading maintenance logs for anything interesting but it was pretty much what you would expect from them

[miniroth]

No. The dragon I was connected to is gone. I can feel the place where she was, but I think she stayed behind. It means I won't change again, I'm pretty sure, and I'm grateful for that. As kind as she was to me, I don't want to be a dragon. Especially not a poisonous one.

The best source of information is probably going to be the next section up. It seems like they do most of the around-other-people work and thus can keep their ears sharp for rumors.

[tinflower]

was she helping you somehow by being connected to you?

like the neons? i guess so. that means we get to wait

[miniroth]

I think so, yes. Pardon my vagueness, but having another being in your mind that closely is very private. I miss her, but I don't want to be one of her kind.

Waiting is difficult, especially in this kind of situation. I have utmost faith that everyone will achieve what is necessary here.

[tinflower]

it's okay, thank you for answering. i've never heard of someone turning into another species because of a being in your head? but it's also none of my business

well if you do want anything later, i have some friends in elite. i'll try and help if i can
but if you don't have to bite anyone that would end up good

[miniroth]

I never heard of anyone changing species at all, so it was all new ground to me.

I won't bite anyone. I might really want to but I have good self-control. If a shower can be arranged, I would be very grateful. It's only been a day and I already smell like everyone around me.

[tinflower]

we have showers in sprawl. you can come with me when i shower

in separate stalls

[miniroth]

Privacy is very important. As is good soap. I will accept this offer.

[tinflower]

okay. sometime after 7 is good for me. i'll text you directly and we can find a good time

[ shower... pals! ]
