text (i'm sorry)

[kickbancaboose]

[ in response to this! ]

so i guess you're new and i'm supposed to show you around
well first of all hi, welcome to space if you've never been to space before. i'm church.

for the record i'm not sure why they chose me to escort a newbie around because i've only been here a month but nonetheless i've exhaustively mapped the ship for you so you're welcome in advance

[ and then attached to this message is an image he totally did not spend 10 minutes drawing in the mid's version of paint. ]

never be sorry (btw hi roomie)

[imanapexpredator]

uh thanks i guess

you dont actually have to do anything though the buddy thing seems kind of lame.

tbh i did not know they were roomies until just now so that makes this exchange 100x better

[kickbancaboose]

dude, right?

like i can understand escorts for young kids because apparently this ship abducts both adults and small children but i'm pretty sure most people can figure their shit out themselves

don't lose that map though it could come in handy

anyway what's up

[ since, you know, if he's not going to show him around, he might as well strike up a conversation! ]

its really amazing

[imanapexpredator]

yeah. which by the way i dont know why they're bringing kids here? that seems kind of dumb but whatever.

nothing im just trying to get used to reality as i've always knew it changing completely.

[kickbancaboose]

afaik the ship doesn't discriminate and just does whatever the hell it wants because it's an asshole. or well, there's probably more to it than that but the people who run this place aren't exactly super forthcoming with that info

yeah it's a fucking doozy but you'll get used to it
where'd they put you up?

[imanapexpredator]

i mean they're really not making themselves look good it's true.

guess so. i met an alien and a giant robot so i can only get less surprised from there.
um moro deck room #001?

[kickbancaboose]

oh man no shit! you lucky fucker, you get to room with me.

you came at a great time because i've spent the past week hoarding chocolate from the mess and i've got a crazy sweet stockpile now.

[t65]

Hellow, Andrew! It's me, Luke Skywalker. I guess you can see that in the ID field. Anyway, I'm out of Medical now if you'd like to talk!

[imanapexpredator]

Out as in "escaped" or out as in "released"?

Anyway yeah, now's a good time.

[t65]

Released. But thank you for trying to help me with that earlier.

When did you notice you had the ability?

[imanapexpredator]

Oh, you're welcome. Sorry it didn't go...well. Anyway, um, I wasn't born with them or anything. I got them after me and my friends touched this...glowing rock thing. And like, days later we could move things with our minds.

[t65]

Really? [Goes a little high-pitched at the end, there.] I've never heard of that before!

[imanapexpredator]

[Maybe a little surprised by that reaction.]

Uh, yeah. Neither had I until it happened. And even then...I still don't really know what it did to make me...this way, or something.

action-ish: let the rock throwing begin.

[ Charlie's seated outside her dormitory door, attaching a small, wrapped box to the top of her quadcopter. She's gotten the hang of using the thing and now, it was time to try something fun. Rolling the thing down the hall very slowly, so as to not make a lot of noise with it, she rolls it to Andrew's door and thumps it against the surface a few times.

And now, she waits.

And hopes he really likes what's in the box. ]

[imanapexpredator]

[Andrew had been walking by the door when he heard the thumping, curiously opening it and looking around to see who was there. After a moment he looks down and spots the quadcopter, a brow raised at the box on top. He glances down the hall at Charlie before stepping out and grabbing the box.

He's not sure what to think when he opens it. He's actually pretty confused. Of course, the camera itself isn't confusing. This is a GoPro HERO that shoots 1080p at 30fps. What's it doing here, is where he's confused.

A few moments later the he nudges the copter back down the hall with his telekinesis. Once it reaches Charlie she'll find a small piece of paper with a note on it.]

what's this for?

[that_cost]

[ Charlie's pretty excited when the quadcopter comes back, and a grin appears on her face when she sees the note. This was kinda fun for her. Grabbing a pen and a piece of paper, she writes back. ]

Okay, so I went back to the guy we bought these from to ask a million 'how the fuck do i use this thing' questions. We should have payed better attention. Anyway, he told me that he has these cameras that attach to the quadcopters. I bought two. I was only going to buy one for you, since you enjoy having a camera nearby. Figured this'd be a fun way to get some neat shots. I know you can use TK to move your camera, which is awesome, but I don't know I saw these and thought of you and figured why not. Now we both have one.

Do you like it?

[ And down the hall the quadcopter goes. Knock, knock. ]

[imanapexpredator]

[Sooo glad they are down the hall from each other because his face is red. There is no known shade of red that his face is producing.]

this is like one of those super expensive professional cameras guys with 8 packs use to record themselves surfing or something

so yeah, its awesome

thanks

[that_cost]

I know nothing about surfing except that I'd look stupid trying it, but hope to some day.

...you like the camera? really?

[imanapexpredator]

yeah neither do I

yeah, I do. it's like...the coolest thing anyone's ever gotten me?

[Okay Matt got him a pretty cool camera but that's because his old one got fucked up because of him. And it wasn't as cool as this.]

Backdated to 4 days before dying: text message

[that_cost]

Two things:

I'm on the observation deck with a fucking massive pile of junk food I may or may not have telekinetically lifted from the mess hall.

I'm not sharing it with anyone but you.

Okay three things I'm tempted to use pyrokinesis on some unpopped popcorn. Should I?

[imanapexpredator]

uhhh hell yes

i'll be there in five?

[that_cost]

You better hurry. These cookies won't last long. Not if I keep reheating them.

[imanapexpredator]

ok, see you in a bit.

[One of his old roommates stashed chocolate in their room. He kind of misses him.

It's not long before Andrew is floating over to the observation deck, camera hovering beside him with a little baggy of chocolates in his hand. He's tired, but his eyes are always baggy so it's hard to tell.

Either way, he smiles lightly.]

I brought chocolates. Didn't sound like you had enough junk food.

[that_cost]

I'm pretty sure anyone that says we do have enough junk food is only trying to get to our stash. It's clearly a lie.

[ Charlie smiles brightly at him, standing and stretching a bit with a soft groan. She'd been sitting for a bit already, watching the stars through the window. It was amazing and, somehow, kinda relaxing.

And oh, boy was she busy getting junk food. Not only are there cookies, but sodas and chips, too.]

Thanks for joining me. I kinda wanted to talk to you about something. It's nothing you did. Nothing wrong, honestly. But I kinda feel like I fucked up and want to fix it.

[imanapexpredator]

[Andrew floats the chocolates he brought besides the rest of the stuff, crossing his legs into a sitting position while still floating in the air. His brows furrow in concern at her words, not sure what to make of it. The only reaction he knows is to suddenly feel anxious. Even if it's nothing he did he can still worry, okay?]

...What do you mean?
