That Time They All Met in the CQ

[chiseler]

[Let's be honest, nobody had time to info-share Monday what with motives going live after they came down from the top-level deck and also…you know. The whole awkward thing with the corpse. That happened.

Arrangements are made, the whiteboard's been moved and…there's a wedding.

What the fuck, Cradle.

Either way, assume that Luke found your character in person, sent a message via Furry Passing or contacted them via some other means to inform them about a group meeting up in the Captain's Quarters after the wedding to talk about their findings from the day before.

He's not a leader, and it's probably clear from the way he's leaning against the wall next to the whiteboard and dumping handfuls of space-brand Skittles into his mouth.]

All right…so this happened. [This, of course, being the top deck.] We were all up here yesterday and so we should probably start figuring stuff out. It weirds me out that Alice let us up here now after all this time. [He shrugs.] Who wants to go first?

Maybe. A child of Hades would be more interesting in that sense, though. You mentioned zombies.

It's just a hunch, but I think they wanted you for something different. If you were trying to save your planet or your ship or whatever, wouldn't you want the hero?

[chiseler]

I did mention zombies, you're right. But there's a different between zombies and...whatever's going on here. I didn't think zombies could be intelligent so maybe I'm not one.

[Thanks Luke. But his expression softens a tiny bit as it usually does by now when Adam says something he really wants to believe, but he shrugs.] Of course I would, but. [...yeah how do you argue? He was, in fact, the hero whether it seemed that way or not.] I sort of wish we could find their other notes. They have to have done more research on how to pull us here at all.

[antietam]

[ He's tempted to make a joke about Luke's intelligence and zombies, but now's not the time. Later. ]

I don't think we're done discovering things. Apparently the captain timed these things to open for the suspense and drama. [ He's a little quieter when he asks: ] You won't worry about this too much, will you?

[chiseler]

[Thanks buddy.]

The captain's got nothing better to do? You're probably right. We're not done. [But most of his anger's turned down from "I want to destroy the terminal/Percy Jackson" to simmering under the surface so there's that. More than anything he also looks mildly disappointed.] When have you ever known me to worry about something like this? It's stupid.

[antietam]

[ That's still concerning to him but he also knows they can't have a Talk here so he'll just take note of it. ]

It is stupid. Just remember what I said. That I'm lucky you're here.
