[ they reach over the counter to grab one of those thin, stirrer straws and stick it into the drink, bringing it up so they can take a drink through their helmet. don't ask how this works i don't want to logistic it out with the individual helmet designs. ]
We usually just let them handle whatever happens in the bar. They've got a talent for bartending, and usually none of us really mind what they curate music-wise. [ adrastea tilts their head, emotions smooth and calm and a little muted to balance. they keep their distance like a slightly more adjusted street animal. ] You can use your I.R.I.S.
[ a tap to their own wrist to bring it back up, before selecting the music player and syncing it to the titan's signal. then this starts to play. ]
she pauses when the music starts, just listening. it's so foreboding sounding, help. she doesn't seem to mind, though - the other day she was straight out just listening to a violin cover of hallelujah so.
she takes a drink, and then:]
Very mysterious. A touch intimidating. [this is a little bit of a joke, and it's very, very dry.]
adrastea laughs, a light, tinkling sound with the way it's sythesized, before they flip to another genre of music. apparently not approving of that, they go to something more ambient. ]
Thought you might enjoy a bit of mysterious and intimidating. [ a little bit of a joke, back, before they pick up their drink again. ] But during the quieter times, this really is a pretty good place to hole up and read. Considering the passengers at the moment... I have a feeling it's going to get pretty energetic sometimes.
adrastea, to be fair, also does not know what a rickroll is. but they settle in with the coffee shop vibes comfortably, clinking their ice around in the old fashioned they've got. ]
Mm... you know, I think that's pretty spot on. Some of them are friendlier than others, but then there's the ones that want to be left alone. [ that are more skittish and kicked. ] But a whole lot that are going to stick their nose into things. More than one broken vase kind of energy that's being brought here.
And then there's the lone, giant dog that is that Sidon guy.
[ they'd probably also group ichiban into the dog category, but. sidon does kind of stick out like a sore thumb.
it's not said meanly, anyways, though now they do tilt their head with the question. ]
Always something to stick noses in, no matter where you go. Here... [ considering ] Get back to me on that one for specifics. Depends on the answer that we get from the hub on if we need to dig in a little deeper than I originally thought.
It's his job to investigate, yes. [but she doesn't say much else, because temenos gets so finicky about his own little details and she's not going to risk his irritation.]
So you believe that, then, and aren't trying to convince us that we agreed.
[there's a faint note of approval.]
... How much do you know about us? Just the profiles? More?
Oh, there's no way that all of you agreed to this when it's this widespread. [ immediate ] The others have come around to the idea, although a few are still optimistic it was some mistake. I'm reserving judgment there.
[ but adrastea shakes their head at the question about knowledge. ]
Just what's in the profiles. Those came with your dockets, which included the contracts.
We also don't really know much more than you do about the situation. [ their emotions are still muted, but there's something frustrated that bubbles up regarding that. ] But, you can ask, and we can see what we do have for you.
I'm just not much on deep, friendship circle sharing typically.
[all of you have muted emotions are your helmets adblockers but for feelings
anyway.]
No, I'm not either. [her and temenos are kind of like that vine where it's like "do you want to talk about your feelings? "i do" "we know partitio"] But I can't say I'm not curious to know what life was like for the eight of you before this.
the image of partitio in space is a very funny one he'd be losing his goddamn mind. ]
We can't give names for things, but we can talk about it in non-specifics. For example, my homeworld certainly doesn't have space travel or this level of tech - though we have a great deal of it in some places, and others making swifter advancements than others, so that isn't to say we don't have any.

throné doesn't know what a rickroll is so she just goes :tails: at the sudden switch. the coffee shop thing seems really nice though, and she enjoys that.]
Not incorrect. [she says, to that first part, but. a nod.] ... It's a lively group of people. Not rowdy. But... hm.
[how to put this.] Not a group of excitable puppies, but a group of... very curious cats.
[who will knock things off the furniture a lot.]

You sound just like Temenos. [doubt is what they do...]
no subject
He seems the type. What's it say on his profile? "Doubting everything"?
Not a bad philosophy to have, sometimes. In this case it's justified, since there's 39 people here that, by all rights, shouldn't be.
