[they can get back to the arm later, gregor's glancing over to him with his brow furrowed, at that sound.]

Gloriana-- Commonbrook, I think they said, yeah? ... pretty familiar with her?

[ yeah they look a little shocked actually, though they just kind of keep watching, pushing the time stamp back a bit. again and again.

there's a little sad smile that makes its way onto their face
]

She... taught me how to work alongside her on the medical team. [ pausing the log now. ] She was my boss.

Sorry if this... brings up anything difficult, Io.

[affection week strikes again-- gregor quietly takes hold of one of his hands.]

You remember anything else about her?

[honestly, less to dig, and more to let him talk about her if he wants.]

[ oh greg... takes that hand kind of gratefully. just quietly looks down at it. he thumps his metal leg on the ground. ]

We matched for a time... after I got this on a mission. I remember. She had to help me get used to it. Had a goddamn peg for a leg.

Her callsign was Jolly Roger. Like a pirate.

-little bit on the nose, eh? Then again, so's mine...

[his is literally tattooed on his damn arm.

he is quietly thinking about io just knowing a bunch of pirates, technically... one of the alternate gregors is a pirate...]


She sounds like a pretty great lady to have around, though.

Gregor...

[ yours is MEAN ]

She was good. Very good... I've had surgical training, but she helped me adjust to everything here. Swore a lot, a little crass, but I liked it.

[ leaning back against the tree til their head thunks against it. ]

Gloriana...

Yes? I mean... We were colleagues. And friends.

Right, right-- just, uh, making sure I get the idea here.

[he can't judge off of a small amount of info ok]

... what happened to her?

[ just slowly shakes hus head at that. ]

That's what I'm trying to remember too... but...

[ no idea basically. and their jaw clenches, because it really does bother them. ]

If it has anything to do with what is going on here... nothing good, I imagine...
verminous: (story_008)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-03-29 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ah... squeezes his hand, a little.]

Mm. Yeah, probably not.

...if we can just figure out more about what exactly is going on here, maybe that'll help.

[ nodding ]

Seeing them... even having a name to see on the roster at the same time. I feel like I can make some connections a bit at a time.

Wonder if whoever's in the video with Thebe and Thea works with either of them. Science Department or Hydroponics?

That's what Adrastea was thinking, yeah. Said I should show all of you this, ask you and the two of them if you could put any names to faces.

[personal profile] bulls 2024-03-29 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's a good bet.

[ a very sad, but somewhat satisfied smile makes its way onto his face. ]

... Thank you, Gregor.
verminous: (Default)

[personal profile] verminous 2024-03-29 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
... don't have to thank me.

[that gets a little smile in return, slightly subdued. their sad io...]

Can I ask you something else I was wondering about?
bulls: (🌾 Equisetum arvense)

[personal profile] bulls 2024-03-29 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure.

[ a firm nod. ]

Go for it.

Never know when the time might be right. It's worth the ask. I only regret not being able to say for now...

Suspenseful stories are not my bread and butter. And my name... it's something you'll have in time. For now, focus on the others. Their names. Their places in our collective heart...

[ some of them meant something to us. ]

It will wait.

[personal profile] verminous 2024-03-29 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
-yeah. Don't you worry about that. I know how it is.

[losing people, remembering them. the city forgets so easily; the war was only a decade ago, and who but the ones who fought it even think about it these days? who spares any thought for them?]

But I feel like you have places in ours too.

[ ... oh... ]

... Well. You've certainly earned your way into ours as well. I think we've made... a very good crew. The lot of us.

Heh, haven't we?~ I had my doubts at first, I'll admit to that, but we've all ended up working together pretty well.

Not bad for a mishmashed collection of people from all over.
