[There is a sudden burst of static from the comms, then a series of beeping noises, as if the owner is experimenting with the device. The static fades out quickly, replaced with a strange alien warbling. This carries on for a good while, then a silence. Then a text feed finally comes in.]

I am unfamiliar with my surroundings. This is not the slum ( Read more... )

homesick prawn, we just want to go home, you want my weapons don't you

[...that sucks. Herz instantly feels terrible for this person. And...apparently they can only type in English, so he's going to take a great deal of care replaying and not typing like a loser faec.]

... A ship. Not a space ship. Humans cannot engineer at that level.

A water-faring ship, then?

Why? I only had twenty-four hours before I was to be evicted... why has that precious time been cut short? I have not done anything wrong.

... Friend. Deck 10. Can I... meet you? This room is lonely. And I can hear no other Poleepkwa.

yes a waterfaring ship

i don't know it don't think the captain took you for any reson like that he took all of us at random times in our lives im sorry he took you when he did. none of us had a choice. i don't think it was anything you did we haven tfound a connection between the passengers yet

id like to meet you i am human i've het to meet a poleepkwa before but its not just humans here. you will be welcome i promise.

[Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 04:10:15 UTC

They say that. They say that we will be welcome. They said that to us when they took us from our mothership down to Earth.

But we weren't.

They feared us and locked us up in slums. They took away our rights... how can this place be any different?

Hey there. I'm First Mate Kage and you're on board the Elegante. Our destination is the Golden Shore, and until we get there, all you gotta do is chill out and kick back. Awright? You got any questions, just ask myself or any other crew member.

Welcome aboard.

mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 04:05:15 UTC

"Chill out". "Kick back". These are... human terms for relaxation. So... I am not a prisoner here?

Can I go back and see my son? Please.

I'm assuming that was text. shenghuanzhe September 19 2009, 04:06:25 UTC

No, man, you ain't a prisoner. There's plenty'a food for you. Your file says your kind--Poleep...kwuh. Poleepkwa--like raw meat. We got a restaurant that only serves raw meat, it's good shit.

[Kage rubs at his eye.]

No, man, you can't go back. Once we reach th'Shore, you can go back, but for right now all you gotta do is wait.

OTL Yeah It was... This too [Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 04:07:42 UTC

Why is my son not here with me?

Is he safe?

CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON AAAAAAHHHHH <3 nantokanare September 19 2009, 05:02:11 UTC

I haven't heard a language like that before.

C: [Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 05:04:34 UTC

...Apologies. I was disoriented. I have never been contained in a room like this.

It is the native tongue of the Poleepkwa. My mouthparts are unsuited to speaking your language.

...the boy likes him already. I think my preferences are bleeding. ...Oh well. nantokanare September 19 2009, 05:07:59 UTC

I haven't heard of Poleepkwa either.

I'm Akagi.

Haha <3 [Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 05:10:51 UTC

I am Christopher Johnson. I am... unsure what to make of my current situation. I have heard that I am free, but they will not let me see my son.

I do not want him to think I abandoned him...

...Oh man...I'm uh...really sorry about that...

[Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 22:30:52 UTC

Your apology and sympathy is appreciated. Many of the humans here seem much nicer than the humans back in Johannesburg.

[Text] chopshopgoddess September 19 2009, 22:33:31 UTC

I understand wanting to go home completely.

...Are you a Cybertronian? [They're the only ones that refer to them like that.]

[Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 22:38:33 UTC

No. I have never heard of a... "Cybertronian" before, although it sounds like it could be similar to our biosuits-- you humans commonly refer to our biosuits as "mechs".

I am a Poleepkwa... or, as you humans refer to us, Prawns.

I have yet seen the movie. [Voice] weaponxi September 19 2009, 15:41:54 UTC

*She goes to slowly speak, her voice filled with sadness.*

I am sure that your son isn't here for that I am sorry.

I am also separated from my son.

IT'S SUPER-GOOD *shameless plug* [Text] mnu_spreadslies September 19 2009, 22:31:59 UTC

I do not understand why they separated us. I do not want my child to fall prey to MNU while I am gone.

I am sorry that you have been separated as well. I share your pain.

I heard that it is! But I can't really handle surgeries and gore though. [Voice] weaponxi September 20 2009, 01:34:54 UTC

It is the captain's wishes... This MNU... What would they do to your child?

He was a beautiful boy and happy too. Just a baby though.

[Text] mnu_spreadslies September 20 2009, 01:46:22 UTC

I do not know what they would do to my son. Hold him prisoner... involve him in their tests with our weaponry... scorch him alive with their flamethrowers... the possibilities are endless, and all of them are horrific to think about.
