Video || gross computer goo, why, turtle

[stagethreeclinger]

[ Roy's on a public console right now seeing as his is a little... predisposed. Which he's about to tell you about, settle in for a story, kiddies. ]

Okay, so, has anyone tried to take apart the consoles? Here's a handy warning to the wise: DON'T.

[ This is Roy's wide-eyed, semi-serious face (more serious than usual, at least). ]

There are some parts that might make sense from a mechanical standpoint, yeah, maybe, but mostly? It is filled with this nasty, creepy, goo and it floods out all over you and I might have screamed like a little girl.

[ Biting at his thumbnail here and he tilts his head to the side, looking a little freaked out because omfg what has just happened in his home, why is life on the turtle so weird. ]

Aaaaand now it's regrowing. This is some crazy sci fi shit and not in the hot aliens in latex kind of way. Like messed up Star Trek bordering on Alien kind of crap. If I start getting some kind of weird parasite or sickness or end up in a cocoon or wake up with an alien baby, tell Kori I super-like her. And build me a memorial.

But first get me a doctor.

[She shrugs] Maybe we're what your world becomes. It's an old form of government in Panem, one that hasn't been seen in centuries. At least, that's what I was told.

It was seventy five years ago, I don't know what they were thinking. A lot of people would say their plan worked, but Thirteen didn't have to live under the Capitol with us. [Almost absently] They had their own problems, though. Things are supposed to be different now, but we'll see. [Wait] Or someone else not trapped on a giant turtle will.

Maybe. [ A frown. ] There's a lot of different worlds here, though, and a lot of different timelines. Could be, but equal chance it isn't.

All things considered, giant turtle sounds like the better option, but what do I know?

[She shrugs. She honestly doesn't care that much]

It's the same. This place is the Games all over again, down to the ruler who doesn't care what happens to her people so long as she can stay in control. At elast we stopped it, back home.
