Day 296 — Real MarinaNova — Exploring
[You have an adventurer's spirit, or maybe you're just following the crowd, whatever the case, you've left the central core behind.

What else is there to see and do and find? Hungry? Maybe you can find yourself a delicious pill to eat in the cafeteria. Or maybe you want to spend your time and energy breaking into a closet in the dormitory. Explore. Make some memories. You may even end up keeping them.

But how much longer do you think it will be before someone puts you back in those pods you so recklessly abandoned?]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who went through the doors only. The locale section will detail the areas you can explore. Please note that some areas specify barriers that would prevent exploration! The next one will be for encountering the engineers in their natural habitat. EVENT INFORMATION | REAL MARINANOVA INFORMATION.)

	When those pills contain medicine and aren't provided by mysterious beings who can redirect our lives at will, yes. [He pops one into his mouth, apparently unconcerned about being poisoned.] If I die hideously, you will know not to eat them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chekov! [Reckless! But the pill's already down his throat, so Korra's not going to disregard his sacrifice.] .......so what does it do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems that the pill's effects are not instantaneous, but I think that they are food. Not so long ago, the food rations available to space travelers were similar to this. [He pats her shoulder reassuringly.] Even if I've guessed wrong, I doubt that the wardens would allow us to access anything that can kill us so easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How can a pill be food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How can a pill be medicine? [Rhetorical question.] You have been here for longer than I have. What reason would anyone have to keep our bodies in status while our minds are sharing a collective hallucination?

[He's doing that thing where he assumes people are either psychically keeping up with his line of reasoning or have reached the same conclusions as him given what they've seen. Korra is, of course, free to remind him that this is not correct.]

	[She figured that much out, thanks. Though the "hallucination" trips her up as there's a blip in the translation and she has to spend a minute figuring out why he said "collective rainbow".] I don't know. You're the space genius. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	["Collective rainbow." Sounds nice. Cozy. Not at all like a prison.] Yes, I didn't forget, but I can think of no reason to store living people. [He's a little sulky. Not having ideas is frustrating.] Being here makes me miss the City. I think I was beginning to understand the deities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Korra misses the City too. Naga, Jinora, the animals, the Beach House, Hei... And she definitely gets what Chekov means. It sucks knowing someone is messing with you but not knowing why. At least with the City, they all know it was cruel, capricious curiosity. (Of the City itself and not the deities as they'd assumed, but whatever.)

She still gives Chekov a You’re crazy look. Understand the deities? Seriously?]

What? I didn't say that I sympathized with them, only that I could sometimes understand them. This place has different rules, and no one knows who is in control or what is motivating them. Is it the wardens? The engineers? Someone else, maybe?

[He sighs and, certain that the pill is almost definitely not going to kill him, decides to wander.] I think there are buttons in the room where we woke up that I neglected to push.

	Are you sure? Because you pushed an awful lot of buttons. [Seriously.] We should be looking for people. Someone we can talk to to get some answers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-12-10 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, but did I push them in the correct sequence? [Her idea isn't a bad one, though. Honestly, he just wants to do something.] Do you think that, if we found someone with answers, they would share them? That would be refreshing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-12-11 01:56 am UTC (link)
	I'll make them share. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-12-11 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Korra, please try to be polite to any powerful beings we may encounter. We don't know the degree of control they have over us; punching them and making them angry would be bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deal_with_it 2014-12-14 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	I won't punch them unless they give me a reason to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2014-12-16 04:36 am UTC (link)
	For some reason, I am still apprehensive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rolling her eyes] Let's just go. (Reply to this) (Parent)
