has anyone ever been to a different world or universe or whatever before ending up here, or just me?
are there any tornadoes in space? that's probably a silly question
but seriously, is there weather in space? they gave me a job as a weather girl

more importantly: has anyone seen a guy called lucas or roan and a little girl called sylvie around?

oh, and i'm a nurse, so if anyone needs help with injuries, well. there's probably some kind of medical service on board anyway, but if there isn't, feel free to come to me and i'll do what i can.

i've never been to space before this
what's life like on a space station? is that normal in your world, living on one?

[agenda]

pretty normal
all the tech giants have stations these days
but Hyperion is exceptionally big, powerful, etc.
it's like its own city?? but full of corporate types and nerds
and we're all trying to get to the top
unless you're already on the top
then you better watch it because everyone else is coming for you

i'm guessing you're from somewhere pretty different

[fujita]

that doesn't sound very relaxed
i'm from a small town in kansas and i work in a hospital
most people aren't trying to get to the top, they're just living their lives
not even sure what the top would look like

there are a lot of farms

[agenda]

it isn't
but that's the way it is

sounds like nothing happens in kansas

[fujita]

no, not much happens in kansas
doesn't seem so bad now, i have to say

[agenda]

[ ah, wait...was he just insensitive? ]

heeeeeey this place isn't so bad, either!
nobody's trying to kill us
free food
and wifi
the bedrooms are small but you've gotta start somewhere

[fujita]

[ no, it's fine. everything is fine. ]

yeah, at least there are showers here
i've really missed running hot water

[agenda]

me too




wait you have hospitals but no running water in kansas??? wtf

[fujita]

kansas had running water
oz didn't
unless you count streams and rivers

[agenda]

not countable because that's totally backwoods
were you stuck in oz before you came here?

[ kind of like how he was stuck on Pandora... except, no, that was 100% his own fault. ]

[fujita]

yeah
i was trying to get back home
and woke up here

[agenda]

oh
that sucks

i wasn't trying to get anywhere
i actually was in the middle of something PRETTY BIG
whiiiich also sucks

[fujita]

what were you doing?

[agenda]

i was one step from the top

[ If you join me, we can rule together. He hopes the offer doesn't have an expiration date ]

[fujita]

wow
talk about timing

[agenda]

RIGHT
still pretty cool that i made it though

[fujita]

congrats, i guess?
