[Walkabout] Evening of the first day

Okay, kids. Don't know how many of you know shit about livin' where there's no roads or pre-packaged dinners, but this is what I've been doin' half my life. So listen up.

First thing we need is water. Found that. It's south-east from where we landed, looks like this.

[And he gives them a livestream of the brook he's found trickling out to the ocean proper. It's not like your normal livestream, in that Riddick's vision is tinged bright violet, seems to focus mostly on heat and movement, and if you can parse through both of those things, you can tell it is completely unhampered by the darkness.]

Nobody come down here yet, though. There's predators on this island, or there were last time I was here, and most of 'em are nocturnal. So stay put and stay together until dawn, much as you can. Might even be smart if we did our sleeping in liminal space, until we find some sign there's still people here.

Second thing we need is food. There's animals here we can hunt, and probably some edible fruit and shit, but we've got liminal space, too. Anybody who can make food we can actually eat, do that. I'm gonna pop into liminal space to give it a shot myself, here, in a minute.

There used to be people on this island. Used to be, it was kept protected by a force field thing. I think that's probably still there, so don't go swimmin' out too far, or you'll hit it. Nasty shit happens when you do that. Ain't seen any sign of the people yet, but that don't mean they ain't here somewhere. Think that should probably be thing number three. Findin' out where the people went to, if they're still here somewhere. Might be a good idea to start searching this place in the morning.

I didn't mean to suggest it might have been a fatal change. But if both locations are important...

[He's quiet for a moment, thinking.]

Was anyone able to observe and analyze it the first time? I can check it out, but I have nothing to really compare it to, although I can reconstruct and broadcast whatever I do see if necessary.

Nothing that would be useful for this, unfortunately.

[Constructive Enlightenment probably won't be helpful here. And Perfect Timing definitely won't.]

Fine, fine, we won't set the entire island on fire. Even if it would be totally worth it for getting rid of all these bloody bugs.

[and at that point, he catches up with Riddick in person, dropping out of the psychic conversation]

Aheh...I actually can't use them at all yet, but it's something most people pick up on their own, right?

Could be disturbances caused evacuation. We might not be able to detect them until it's too late without instrumentation.

Or the people responsible for the isolation killed them all.

Because that was the most harmless advertising icon he could not think of!

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if I'm not concerned about me, no one else is gonna be concerned about me!

[Raidou is seriously starting to wonder if Jules has somehow managed to get drunk again. How, he's not sure, given where they are, but based on the events of the last Jaunt, he is confident that Jules would find a way.]

...What exactly are you talking about?
failgoyle: (neutralish)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ghostbusters! It's a classic!

Great movie, you should watch it sometime.
capital_asset: (...Why.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I... see.
failgoyle: (neutralish)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, if we ever find a DVD player and I can find a copy, we're having movie night.

...internet access and a torrent client is also a valid alternative.
satonthewall: ([tsun glance])

I'm not late at all shhhh

[personal profile] satonthewall 2016-05-19 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the heads up. Especially about the predators.

[Can he fight off wild animals? Yeah, probably. Does he trust himself to be able to do that out of a dead sleep? Not really.]
capital_asset: (Unsure)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Do you really want to watch Ghostbusters with the guy who regularly talks to demons, Jules?]

You don't need to go to any trouble.

I nearly got eaten by an alien houseplant once. I have a sense of how dangerous things that look harmless can actually be.

You think the Trumps kept a people zoo in addition to this traveling circus?
failgoyle: (smiling)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-20 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Someone's not really thinking through every angle here...]

Nah, it's no trouble!

Yes, survival concerns should be the first priority. I'll be interested to hear what comes of your review when you find the time.

[He knows about Belljar from Armin's notebook, but any additional accounts from those present are things he is very interested in. Especially since he'd decided to look more deeply at earlier Phase One Jaunts recently.]
capital_asset: (...Why.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-20 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[In fairness to Jules, that whole conversation took place on the other psychic post.]

There's really no need...
