« TWO ☠ CURSE: memory theatre »

[olduvai]

[ from 11:10 - 12:26, we're taken back to the time when john and his team were simply headed toward mars, for their mission in olduvai.

what's shown through the video isn't much, but it tells everyone about the kind of company that john keeps (they're not that great), as well as a welcome example of about the ark's technology when it comes to transporting individuals from one planet to another (through a giant water droplet that absorbs them from one place and spits them back out in another). there really could be worse things to show. john is currently trying to bring it down, but based on what he's seen on the network last time, there really isn't much he can do about it but answer questions - or ignore them, either way. ]

( OOC | !! video content warning: vomiting. !! and if the video doesn't work for you, i'll find something else. )

would you like some cupcakes?? :)

[She saw it but for one reason or another, she isn't commenting on it.]

[thenormalsquint]

Can't blame that one guy for losing his lunch. I would have done the same if I had to travel like that.

[candothat]

What year are you from?

[Yeah, he's heard about you, Not-McCoy, and that's some mighty disturbing technology there.]

[olduvai]

Is it poisoned?

[olduvai]

We don't use that that often. Only when we're travelling to Mars.

[olduvai]

[ ayep, he knows. ]

2046.

why did i never get this notif

[hexuality]

of course not. what colour would you like?

[candothat]

Did many people travel this way at that time? It could not have been common, with the... eh, hazards involved.

[Which isn't to say that transporters didn't have their issues back in the early days. Ending up as a pile of organic goo due to a slight malfunction that resulted in a subject's constituent subatomic particles coming together wrong sounds less painful than having limbs left in unintended locations, however.]

[olduvai]

No, it's one of a kind for now. Connects a bridge between the reseach facility in Mars and Earth. And those hazards have been mostly fixed - unless there's a turbulence. [ poor pinky. ]

[olduvai]

What color are there?

[candothat]

What kind of turbulence? Electrogravitic? And do you know how it works?

Ai, sorry, sorry--I should tell you my name before I ask you so many questions. Pavel Andreievich Chekov, sir.

[hexuality]

i can make ANY COLOUR

[olduvai]

[ god, fucking sparkles. ]

Black.

[ just to be the morbid one in this situation. ]

[olduvai]

John Grimm. No sir.

[ don't worry so much, chekov. he's not as grumpy as your country doctor. ]

I'm not a scientist, so much of the details are unknown to me. I only know that they've somehow made travelling much better than it used to be. [ a seat. ] Well, sort of. We can travel in packs now.

[hexuality]

[What the hell, John.]

glittering like space

i can do that :)))

will it make you smile ♥

[olduvai]

[ oh, darling. he's not the smiley type either tho. ]

I don't know. Is it delicious?

[hexuality]

i think so

i mean it won't make you throw up :D

[logistical]

[Well that's fascinating and he feels nosy, but Chekov's got this.]

Attempts to take this down have been unsuccessful. There does not appear to be a way to do so currently.

[olduvai]

[ well, he might puke rainbows, you never know. ]

I'll trust you on that.

What made you want to make cupcakes today?

text;

[olduvai]

[ john doesn't have the answers, anyway. ]

Yeah, I figured that after the few attempts I've made. But this isn't a particular problem for me. Not for this one, anyway. The memory isn't that personal.

Can't say that much for other people, though.

[hexuality]

just feeling really happy for the first time in a while!!

[candothat]

I apologize in advance for calling you "sir" in the future. I will try not to.

[But he looks just like him!]

I hope that, in your future, you can also travel without vomiting.

[olduvai]

Yeah? Why weren't you happy back then?

[olduvai]

You're too polite to me, kid.

[ he's not used to that. ]

I personally have no problem with the travelling. I can stomach it. Some people just get sick easily.

[hexuality]

because it's that time of year
