I'm over the moon

[lucetimods]

Who: All draftees
What: Arriving on The Liberator and preparing for battle
When: Today, from 9AM to 3PM
Where: SPAAAACE
Summary: The draftees are in space! On a ship! IN SPACE! SPACE!
Rating: SPACE

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!

But no really. The draftees are in space. The mod post about it is here, so familiarize yourself with the details. This log is for general interactions, where you can tag around as your characters familiarize themselves with the ship, look out the windows, try on their space suits, and run simulations for the Tyr-Fighters. (Among other things.)

Specialist Davis can be encountered and will have a thread available on the log to talk to him on.

[Yellow, along with Chuchu and Ratty, is nibbling on some snacks in the mess hall when she notices a man hogging taking up a whole table with those charts and maps. Curious, she walks on over with her Pokémon and peers over at them.]

Are you studying all of those..?

[notquiteheartless]

[...To Sherlock's credit (really, John, he deserves a treat-- positive reinforcement!), he does not immediately remark upon the animals.

Then again, he has wings on his back and a weird suit-thing that he does not like. (They can give him this thing here, but they can't give him his coat back in the village?) Are animals that look like they escaped from the lowest levels of Baskerville really that surprising? No. And they're not giant dogs who are hopped up on fear gas and wanting to tear him to shreds. So, that's a plus.]

Yes.

[moehealer]

[She peers a bit closer to the papers, being sure to keep enough distance so that she doesn't bump into them and/or make them move. Her Raticate stays close behind her, while the Pikachu sits on top of her head, looking at the charts as well.]

It must be difficult to take in all of it though... [Personally, she just glanced at maps here and there and plans on winging it. Not like she needs to know about the weapons either, since she does have her Pokémon.]

[notquiteheartless]

Not at all.

[This is important information. Important information gets saved.

He'll probably forget most of it, once this is done. But for now? He will remember every detail.]

[moehealer]

Oh, really? [She looks a bit surprised, but now that she thinks of it, of course stuff like this must come as second nature to people. Or they just have a good memory.]

Do you have some sort of strategy for memorizing it all? [Maybe it could help her out! Maybe.]

[notquiteheartless]

[She won't like his answer. Not that he cares. He just knows it.]

Years of practice.

I observe and retain more with five seconds than most people can with five minutes.

[Bragging? Maybe. But he can actually make good on the boast.]

[moehealer]

Oh. Huh... [It's only mildly disappointing that she can't learn his ~strategy~ or whatever, but it's neat to see how someone is so accustomed to it and apparently has good observational skills. Those of her own aren't bad at all, but they definitely aren't that good. This guy could like. Be a professor--]

That's amazing! It must be really helpful to be able to do that, too.

[notquiteheartless]

It is. That's why I do it.

[Dismissive? Yes. Intentionally rude? Not so much. Surprisingly.

He is, though, trying to be good. At least he thinks he is. He hasn't started "showing off," as John puts it. Hasn't verbally disected anything he can see about this girl.]

[moehealer]

[Yeah Yellow doesn't think it comes off as rude at all, to be honest...! But regardless, she continues peering over the papers, clearly interested.]

So.. Do you memorize most of this already, then?

[notquiteheartless]

Most of it.

[But it remains out claiming his space.]

[moehealer]

Ohh.. Um.. Are there any places you think would be important to know, then?

[As far as the maps go, anyway.]

[notquiteheartless]

The ventilation system. That's where the biggest threat lies.

[moehealer]

The ventilation system...? Why's that?

[notquiteheartless]

Artificial atmosphere. And an effective dispersal system of airborne toxins.

[moehealer]

[..Well. Good thing Yellow understands science fairly well. Kind of.]

Oh, that is a problem, isn't it.. But... That's why we have our helmets, right?
