[video] re: raven reyes and mars and space death
[ if you've ever seen the import TV series 'Fuck Ups & Try Hards', you might recognize this boy as one of the identical stars of it, albeit, with more facial hair and age to him than the last episode that aired. other than that, everything else about john murphy seems mostly the same, and this video is being cast from rooftop of the farm house at the Meadows. ]
For anyone that might've been close with Raven Reyes, guess you outta know - Porter sent her home.
Don't stress about it, you probably know our world blows, but she'll be fine. She'll spend the next six years chilling safe on a space station before anything else catastrophic goes down. [ a beat, and he adds, ] Aside from a couple algae-induced comas and your occasional spacewalk gone almost fatal. But, you know. Space.
[ and speaking of space trying to murder literally everyone and everything - ]
Last time I was here, someone thought throwing a party on the Moon was a good idea, and miraculously no one got sucked out an airlock or frozen to death or died of radiation exposure. [ it's not just an overactive imagination, okay, but also maybe a little bit of that. ] From what I'm reading about now, you want to try your luck on Mars too? Whose bright idea was that?
[ clearly not something he thinks is terribly bright. we realize space is basically a death trap, right? did you just ran out of fun tempting all the things on the ground ready to kill you? ]
Seriously, what do you people have against breathable air and a natural environment ready-made to support human life? Just too easy for you?
[ you know, he says that, but who was the first to be a sourpuss about the calm, safety and domestic teamwork involved in living on the Ark? ]

[ Probably not though, right?? ]

Did no one bother learning anything about space before going up there?

[ and raven immediately came in to encourage him instead, because she's raven. ]
Video
It was fine.
Video
But glad you had a nice time.

With reptilians on board, you have to have adequate temperature control.
Video
Humans can't exactly deal with space without insulation or heaters either, but yeah, I can see how reptiles would be a problem. Why reptiles?
Re: Video
[It was amazing. It was wonderful. It was also just a few months ago, so he pauses to relish in this memory.]
And the reptiles were there because we were part of the crew.
[And to emphasize his point, his eyes revert to their natural slit appearance.]
Video
[ because that was the first time. there are no cheeseburgers on his earth because there is no happiness on his earth.
the appearance swap is... not expected, and Murphy tugs back some from the screen, before squinting at it, like trying to make out details on the little screen. there's nothing disapproving there, just surprised. ]
Badass. So, where'd you come from? I'm guessing Not Earth?
Re: Video
You'd be correct! I'm from a little planet that orbits Alsafi. That's a star in the Draco constellation.
Re: Video
So why leave home?

video.
video.
[ a beat, and murphy rubs at an eye, a frown on his lips, as if the topic alone makes him sleepy. ] We didn't have that on the Ring this second go around. Had to keep the lights mostly off to conserve power, so it was dark almost everywhere.
[ murphy Did Not Do Well with it. ]
no subject
[He's horrified by the thought. This boy is a total coward about darkness.]
no subject
Well, yeah. Seeing is kind of important. It's only most of the lights out. We left enough on that we could get around alright.

It's not like we don't have enough problems to deal with down here. Spending resources on expeditions to space seems pretty indefensible when we can't even figure out a way to get home or even find some sort of working compromise with the locals.

Space is the big, stupid 'plan c' you go with after everything better fails, and Earth isn't livable anymore. Even then, all you need is a space station, not freaking Mars. These people have to just be over-achievers.

But I doubt making ourselves a cozy new commune to get out of the natives' way is the idea behind this adventure.

Not like dying is a problem here. It's surprising people aren't more reckless.

He made a joke about it, then people wanted to do it. So he set it up because it seemed fun, and difficult. [ Adam was one of those people who liked to figure things out, do something cool because he could. ]
no subject
[ Funny how that attitude is one of the things that Jughead really couldn't stand about Adam. That and - well. There's a beat of hesitation. ]
He dated my girlfriend for a little while. [ So not the biggest fan, exactly. ]
no subject
He dated my mom too.
[ ..........his 'mom' is an 18+ year old boy and not actually his mother, btw, but details, bleh. ]
no subject
Really? That... that's worse. That really sucks.
no subject
That Adam Parrish. Sexual deviant.
no subject
He, uh... he ever try to punch you?
no subject
Parrish? No, he knew I'd stab him in the eye for less.
no subject
Kind of wish I would've made that impression on him myself, now.

[not counting the... organic part of being in space. it's easy when you don't need a suit.]
Anyway, yeah. Too easy. Obviously?
no subject
Well.
For the rest of us that aren't giant robots, and require things like warmth and air and atmosphere to live, I doubt your space hacks are going to help.
no subject
[it's hard to tell if he's being serious or not.]
no subject
Surprise.

Not willing to be the guinea pig for that experiment.
