Hello space comrades.

Tommy has got me very well up to speed (thank you for that) so I thought I should introduce myself now that I'm more convinced I'm really here to stay ~~and this isn't a trap~~

I'm Robert Langdon, human, 2021, which are details I would've never thought needed to be clarified.

	Hello Robert Langdon, I'm Maryanne, mutant, 2017 but I've been here nine years. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nine years? Jeez, what did you do to deserve that sentence? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2021-11-27 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I was being actively hunted, so I wouldn't consider it a prison sentence. Being here allowed me a life I wouldn't have had otherwise (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure, I get that, although I'll go out on a limb and assume the circumstances were massively different. In that case, I'm happy for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yeah, very different from here. Thanks. I hope you find some peace being here. I don't know if you've had much time to look around, but if you're ever hungry, I have a place up on the wheel one, if you miss me cooking I always leave ready meals with instructions on how to reheat them.

	Hey Robert! Peter Parker, enhanced human; Spider-Man, 2021. Been here a month or so? Kinda hard to keep track of time with no true sunrise or sunset. Nice to meet ya! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-11-27 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	Spider-Man. Right. Wow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thwipsnquips 2021-11-27 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	You know who I am? I was going to say "the one and only" but there are actually at least two others like me here. Which, is weird in on itself. Then again, I'm kind of used to the whole multiverse thing.. Sorry! Rambling. It's good to meet you! I hope we can hang out soon! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-12-01 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, sure, I am not ashamed to admit that I had piles of your comic books growing up. It's just a lot to get used to - the idea of characters I assumed to be entirely fiction, being... here, hoping to hang out with me soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thwipsnquips 2021-12-02 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Fully aware of trying to get to used to things like this. But, y'know, any other person would ask: "I'm FICTION to you?!" Not me. I know it goes.. Multiverse and all. I'd love to grab lunch or something! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dean is Dean! Dean does not know when Dean comes from, but Dean is a member of a thing... That... We hunt monsters that hurt people! Dean is a dragon! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-11-27 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Dean is a dragon? What kind of dragon? ~~Why am I asking the dragon~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ddddeeeeaaaannn 2021-11-27 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Dean is blue. Well, less blue right now, but blue! It is nice to meet Robert! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-11-28 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Why are you less blue right now? Nice to meet you, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ddddeeeeaaaannn 2021-11-28 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Dean doesn't know! Dean went to a lot to be Blue the first time! Spooky Lady made Dean less blue, then Blue again! (OOC: Due to the ongoing Plot, Dean is a Revenant, a sentient undead. He just, doesn't know the ways to talk about because he's dumb.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-12-01 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	You weren't always Blue? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ddddeeeeaaaannn 2021-12-02 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Yes! Dean WAS all blue! But, Dean fought a dragon and fell asleep while fighting.. During Dean's sleep; Dean lost Squishy Lady. She means a lot to Dean. Then, when Dean woke being less blue. Dean had to go through a many things before Spooky Lady made Dean all Blue again. Hrmmmm. Dean has never found Squishy Lady again... And now, Dean is less blue again. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Jake Sully, Na'vi, 2154. Kaltxi, Robert. Oel Ngati Kameie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	symbolism_ 2021-11-27 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Na’vi is a new one to me. Fascinating stuff. It’s good to meet you, Jake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_toruk_makto_ 2021-11-27 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	Na'vi are native to Pandora, which is a moon of the gas giant Polyphemus which orbits one of the stars in the Alpha Centauri system. The gas giant outside the station ain't Polyphemus, by the way. We're ten feet tall, and look like big blue cats. Kinda. Are you getting settled in okay? Picked your apartment and all that? (Reply to this) (Parent)

Saying that I’m from New Hampshire, or even the USA, felt too small and specific for a space station where not everyone might be familiar with Earth geography. Then, I could say I’m from Earth, but it seems like “which version of Earth?” comes into play, because there are people who are from Earth but aren’t human, or aren’t from the Earth that I know. So I debated for a while, and landed on human. Although now your question makes me wonder if it’s equivalent to introducing myself as Caucasian, and I’ve instantly become like the tone deaf grandfather at the dinner table.

	Zatanna Zatara, homo magi, 2011. Currently wondering if we should all start wearing name tags with all that on it to save time. Nice to meet you, Robert. Settling in? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bad things tend to follow when we start literally labelling people, though. Yeah, it's actually a fairly pleasant if weird break so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backwardstalk 2021-12-01 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	Like minimum wage and unattractive uniforms. No, I get what you mean. Don't worry, it gets weirder. (Reply to this) (Parent)
