9 ~ Deep inside my heart I still wanted those aliens [written/action]

[written]

So, more New Feathers coming. Guess I'll first point out Maebara's helpful five-hour lecture on the SOS Brigade, for the new people. Welcome to Luceti, get ready for weird, et cetera.

But really, isn't it weirder how it works for us "Old, Slightly Decaying Feathers" than the new ones? After all, we keep seeing the same thing over and over. The shine's totally gone. All the New Feathers get to wake up confused with something new and surprising, and ask all the same questions about what this place is, and they, obviously, never get tired of it.

Whereas those of us who've been here a while just treat it as ordinary life, and are quite tired of explaining, and, hell, wrote a book on the topic. Even the mix is usually kind of the same, right? A few cute girls, a few brooding guys, random stuff in between. Usually one talking animal.

And I haven't even been here a quarter as long as some of us.

Anyway. It's a fair question if there's a "point" to this. I guess the question is, what would you say to a New Feather, as an Old Feather, as far as what to appreciate about the whole entry experience?

[ this is just getting horrible now.. ]

If he did anything shady in my body, that's his own decision. And he already knows I wouldn't hesitate to firmly strike back at him for it.

Hey. [Her birthday is coming up. ...that is irrelevant though right? Maybe. She shrugs and goes back to reading after a look of acknowledgement]

Some nap.

If you go, you might even get to meet him.
godbent: (Yeah I don't like that)

Submarines, obviously! I need to get one working by the end of the summer.

[But whatever, dismissive hand wave!! See, it's just normal]

So you're saying he's a masochist?

I know I would've been more lost and a lot angrier otherwise. Anything that'll help people panic a bit less is a godsend in my book.

[Shiemi laughs at that.]

Of course not!

Well, yeah. I'm familiar with the feeling.

No, don't worry, I understand your accusation. I'll have to question him about it sometime soon.

I'm a Detective Inspector. It's about par for the course, actually.

Well, you're missing out. Mostly on the paperwork. Name's Greg Lestrade.
