[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.

[He assumes there's a reason Jules is using this specific example, but he has no idea what that might be.]

Why marshmallows?

[He's already half-dreading the answer.]

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

[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.
failgoyle: (neutralish)

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.
capital_asset: (Unsure)

[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.
failgoyle: (smiling)

[Someone's not really thinking through every angle here...]

Nah, it's no trouble!
capital_asset: (...Why.)

[In fairness to Jules, that whole conversation took place on the other psychic post.]

There's really no need...

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-21 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, it wouldn't be any trouble to do, once I find the stuff.
capital_asset: (Awkward)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-21 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Jules, please learn to take a hint.]

Really... it's not necessary.
failgoyle: (Default)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-21 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...we'll see what happens when I find the movie.
capital_asset: (...Why.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-26 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Right.
