7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

I just wanted to pop in and say that my part of the Recap is fine, and that you don't need to change anything!

Day Two: What will come?
« Reply #423 on: November 07, 2013, 10:19:57 pm »

The new "day" dawns ... inasmuch as days dawn on space stations. Aliens attend their duties, eat, sleep, find recreation, or engage in other activities in a seemless, continuous cycle. And of course, space itself never sleeps: parts decay, hull erodes, food is processed, energy created and expended without regard to some artificial, external concept like day and night. But, for order and consistency, common patterns are combined into regular routines, and the Station Day establishes a common timekeeping amidst a diverse people. Some of our heroes rise from sleep at hte dawn of this day: others merely shift the focus of their activity.

2 Delta 3 awakes to a quiet house. He quickly notices that it is not an empty house: his guests of the previous evening remain, sleeping in his bed, on the floor - he even spots one or two curled in the hallway outside his room. But one or two of the adults are alert, whethere they woke early, or never slept. One approaches the bedside with a tray.

Joseph Greene recieves a ruder awakening: a harsh light suddenly fills his container, and several faces (and a couple ... things ... are aimed in his direction, studying him intently.

Keffit Fum notes the ticking over of the clock to a new "dawn "for those mysterious Others. He continues in his task, uninterested and unimpressed.

Th'Thix Ar'Arus welcomes the new day. He does so only for long enough to realize the situation he is in. It is not the confinement that bothers Th'Thix: it is the fact that he is completely alone. Where have all his new companions gone?

B1Gii does not even notice the time at all: the lasers are primed, a target is acquired, and devastation beckons.

The lights in the library slowly rise to a more "daylike" level, and Thorimus rises somewhat out of his reverie. EeOon, the candy bringing stranger who is a friend, remains curled near Thorimus' pods, perhaps slumbering still, perhaps not ...

Ghaer awakes in a n uncmfortable position, in an unfamiliar place, caked with dried goop. He discovers that he is in a small alcove near the artificial waterway of the station. He recognizes the goop he did battle with the day before off to one side of the alcove. He can't remember if he mnaged to haul himself to this semicomfortable location, or if some passerby helped him into it in the night.

The dawn catches Fizz in mid pounce, slightly spoiling his latest "hunt." The creature hops madly away, before turning and cooing strangely t him fro ma distance, only it's head visible above the stalks of the local flora. Other heads appear above the flora in response, and their attention is directed toward Fizz.

Post your actions for the start of day.

Stretch, check hand wound. See how it's doing, and address one of the creatures already awake.

"Ah...good morning! How did you fellows sleep?"

Check leg to see if it's healed enough to go to work. If so, thank the creatures for their time, and prepare for work. If not...

"Ah...good morning! How did you fellows sleep?"
I should have said it in the post: you can tell you ill be unable to work. Both leg wound and hand wound will make that difficult. You can still try if you like, though.

Leave EeOon asleep for now and send one FB off to go get food. For both of us, I suppose.

Stretch, check hand wound. See how it's doing, and address one of the creatures already awake.

"Ah...good morning! How did you fellows sleep?"
(1) You sit up a little too quikly, and in stretching, bang your wounded arm painfully on a figurine on your bedside table. The noise and commotion cause your bedfellows to stir fitfully. Claws dig in in unexpected places, and you yelp, furthering the commotion.
((I just realized your character seems to be magnetic for hoards of clawed mammalians))

Go to my food cart.
(5) Inspecting the region, you locate a vidscreen and pull up a map of the station. The waterways are clearly marked, and you input a path to your foodcart. A light trail leads you into the stream and along several twists and turns, until, in no time at all (it's a figure of speech - time didn't stop), you are back to your cart.

"AAAGH MY EYES!"

Hide under some flora
(3) You duck into the stalks of the medium height grasslike flora to shield your eyes from the light. It is dimmer here, but not much. It is also prickly - the grass is woody and a bit thorny, all hard edges and pokey. You hear rustling in the nearby brush and realize that your latest pseudo-victims have no such trouble.

Leave EeOon asleep for now and send one FB off to go get food. For both of us, I suppose.
(6) One of your smaller FB moves to stand guard over EeOon, and one larger one scurries off toward the cafeteria. A second small one scurries off somewhere - before the link severed you got the image of a pharmacy, for some reason.

Reflect on my computer illiteracy and hope it has been dispelled by the shining light of the squishy computer manual.
(2) You remain rather baffled by our own illiteracy. you are fairly certain you will remain somewhat confounded by the fool machine, but you will try anyway. ((this is simply an internal state of mind issue. Whether you ARE more competent today remains to be seen))

Commence melting.
Oh, how I delight in the thought that these cannons could be turned onto the imbeciles who allowed me to commandeer them...
(3) The laser hums to life, and three invisible beams converge on your target. Slowly, the rock dissolves under the fire, and small puffs of matter begin launching into space. It is somehow less impressive than you had hoped, but th ered glow stirred something in you nevertheless.

? ? ?

Have a small FB go over to a library computer and search for nearby pharmacies.

((Oh dear, it encountered a female didn't it.))

"OWWWW, FU-mmph. Sorry about that. I-I need to hold my tongue."

Try to get up without disturbing them further.

Engage in honorable computer-wrangling - try to make sense of the thing in general, and how best to not make things go wrong in relation to it.
