So. We're all held here against our will and there's no way home. That's fine, I guess worse things have happened.

[Getaway speaks casually in a cool, smooth as silk, tone as if the whole thing with Riptide hadn't happened. As far as he's concerned, that was just a minor inconvenience that was dealt with in the most direct and logical way possible. But he's not here to talk about Riptide.]

I'm not usually the distractions kind of person. Hate them, in fact, but since I don't have a choice, I might as well enjoy myself, right? See, I'm new to being human, and what better way to learn to be human than to test out Heropa's night life?

The name's Getaway, and I would be absolutely delighted if someone told me where the best clubs and hangouts are in this big city of ours.

[Private to Tailgate]

Heeey there scout.

Looks like we're rooming together. Neat, eh?

[Video - Private]

[itcanwait]

[He's been in his room when he checked the network and just hearing the name had his stomach clenching and doing flips. And then a private part just for him and he was honestly surprised he didn't throw up from how anxious he felt from hearing 'scout'.

He takes the chair in his room and presses it against the door to jam it. Does he answer or does he just pretend he didn't see this?]

Why are you here? Why...why are you talking to me? [Like nothing happened.]

Re: [Video - Private]

[discountstarscream]

[ He seems almost surprised by this, his human eyes widening a touch.]

I'm here because I have no choice and I'm talking to you because it'd be crying shame to be on bad terms with the only other member of your own race. You're not going to make this difficult are you?

Re: [Video - Private]

[itcanwait]

[He can't feel bad for Getaway. He can't. He doesn't want to make anything difficult be right now he has so much baggage. He's spend months in some weird limbo where he wasn't able to react of ask Getaway why.

Tailgate frowns and chews on his bottom lip.]

It's not--I mean, what's the last thing you remember? From home. It already feels a little difficult. [The last part is mumbled as he looks down at his hands.]

Re: [Video - Private]

[discountstarscream]

[Getaway pauses at the question. It's a significant question. "What was the last thing he remembered?"

He had an answer for that, of course.]

The last thing I remember?

[He replies with a laugh, automatically taking the very same warm and friendly tone he used to speak to Tailgate with.]

We were about to go on a romantic fishing trip out at the oil reservoir like we usually do. Don't you remember?

Also some scandalous hand-holding and feelings talking too, as I recall.

Why, what's the last thing you remember?

[you made him your friend, getaway. you did this.]

Re: text

[discountstarscream]

[Getaway can physically feel his soul wither at this friendly contact from Riptide.

But he invited this on himself so he soldiers through it the best he possibly can.]

Night life is when you spend your evening socializing and the like.

Not too surprising you haven't herd of it. You don't go out much do you?

I mean that in the friendliest of ways of course.

Re: text

[knaval]

[you did this.]

Re: text

[discountstarscream]

Well, we can't all be anti-organic like you.

Some of us have standards.

It's okay, it's still charming on you.

["Getaway", huh?]

[At least he's got a name now. Time to chitchat.]

Heropa's nightlife isn't that great, honestly. You want one of the other cities for that- De Chima or Maurtia Falls, I hear, depending on what exactly you're looking for.

What are you looking for?

Re: text

[discountstarscream]

Good music, nice atmosphere, and pleasant company.

I might need to make a move by the sounds of it. Nothing worse than being stuck in dullsville.

Re: text

[hellrisen02]

Yeah I'll be honest, Heropa's great for some things- sunshine, easy beach living [being near Cape Canaveral] but it's not exactly the liveliest of towns.

If you're into, shall we say, avant garde stuff? Weird tech, trendy kinds of things- you want to head to De Chima.

On the other hand, if you like to toe the line of what's considered acceptable fun, you want Maurtia Falls. [Well, that's one way to put it.]

Re: text

[discountstarscream]

Maurtia Falls it is. After a stop at De Chima of course.

No point in staying in one place for too long right? Might as well enjoy the earth scenery.

But let's say that I plan on hanging around here for a couple of days. What would you suggest?

[ Audio ]

[lastofthebog]

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Heropa's attractions, but I do know of a few bars I've enjoyed in Maurtia Falls. Do you enjoy...how did they put it... "Dive" bars?

Re: [ Audio ]

[discountstarscream]

Unfortunately, no. I prefer places with nice atmosphere and, you know, are clean and presentable.

[Getaway has a taste for fancy places, in other words.]

Not to sound too stuck-up, but I've never been one for any old backwater bar.

[lastofthebog]

I was raised in backwaters, so I suppose my preference is simply for the familiar.

In your case, however, I suppose you could look for wineries or cocktail bars. They may be more suited to your tastes.

[discountstarscream]

Wineries and cocktails sounds like fun, I'll have to look into that.

Let's say I want to find some good music too. Where would I go for that?

[canonized_demon]

I'm pretty new myself, but I found Maurtia Falls is THE place to be for clubs and stuff, s'where I'm hanging right now.

[Cool name bruh.]

Getaway huh? Are you like a sport driver or something?

Re: Text

[discountstarscream]

Then it sounds as though I'm going to be making a trip to Maurtia Falls soon.

As for my name, I'm an Escapologist, one of the best there is. It's an extremely appropriate name, as you can see.

Text [Suddenly Private]

[canonized_demon]

Escapologist huh? Are you for hire? I'm kinda looking to put a team together, and you seem like you might be a decent fit.

[secondplacescrow]

What city?

[discountstarscream]

Heropa.

[secondplacescrow]

Well, I can't help you there.

[stretchy_girl]

If you find anywhere good to hang out would you let me know? If it's Nonah you're talking about?

[Gemini's not to sure what to make of that reference about new to being human so she lets it slide.]

I'm having a problem with insomnia and need to get out of the house.

[discountstarscream]

Heropa, unfortunately.

But if I'm in Nonah I'd be thrilled to hang out. I could use someone to show me how humans like to spend their night.

[Was that suggestive? Maybe. Maybe not.]

This is the first I've heard of Nonah though. What's it known for?

[stretchy_girl]

Humans? Aren't you human?

[That makes her sit up half anxiously, staring at the feed. If this woman isn't human what is she?]

I don't really know what Nonah's known for yet, I've only just arrived.

[She says, her tone much more nervous now.]
