event } ya gotta be a dolphin

[seeingyou]

WHO: All the little fishies!
WHAT: An underwater adventure
WHERE: Kupra City, or you can stay on Navi if ya want
WHEN: Dec. 20-Jan. 2 16
WARNINGS: Use ‘em in your threads if needed! And if you end up taking an extended dip in the big drink, please report it on the death page.

[Hello, passengers! Hope you're all ready for an announcement, 'cause Navi's voice is getting beamed into your head right about ... now.]

Attention, passengers.
We'll be landing soon on the planet Umora, at Kupra City.
We'll be docked for two weeks, local time.
Please stand by for atmospheric entry.

[Is it just your imagination, or does Navi sound more tired than normal? Either way, it's now time to BUCKLE IN, CHAPS. It's not a particularly rough landing, just your standard amount of turbulence, though it may seem a little jarring to those who aren't used to space travel.

Upon docking underwater and disembarking, passengers will find a bank counter just past the terminal, where your new windfall of Navigems can be exchanged for credits (the universal currency).

Have fun! And do try not to drown … ]

This wasn't the conversation that he envisioned, but really since when had any of the conversations he had here been to the norm? Normally he got waved off, walked away from or argued with. The later was more used here as it seemed and rightly so.

He had just said it was a touchy subject, but if this man was writing thesis against it, maybe he should know. "I don't suppose it's rude as much as hard to tell." In fact, in many ways, it was everyone's fault but directly his own. If anything, the man really had taken his mind off of being under the water at least. Kankri, for once in his life, was quiet as he looked down at the neatly crossed intersection of one knee over the other and slid his hands over the kneecap that sat on top. "I'm very much corporeal." While he spoke, he offered out the hand with the calming blue colour of his glyph with the silent inference that his hand, free of his kneecap, could be touched. "As for how I died..."

That was a difficult one. "In summation—" which had him pause again, not for dramatic effect, just to really consider if it was summation. "For our betterment which I almost firmly believe was their intention, one of our teammates killed all of the remainder of us." That was pretty accurate without the gritty details he didn't think the poor stranger needed. "We would have been otherwise wiped from existence and likely our race with it if it hadn't happened in that direct order. It doesn't make it pleasant, I don't know that it was the lesser of two evils. But." He punctuated in matter-of-fact manner, his eyes finally coming back up to meet the other man's a little more conversationally than they had previously. "It's the truth at least." There had never been any reason to hide any of it, not even within the dream bubbles either.

Richard tents his fingers beneath his nose and listens to it, "...So you...came back to life? Did you see the afterlife of a sort? Is this the afterlife?"

The latter slips out and he shakes his head, "I'm sorry that's rude of me. All of this...I'm an academic I'm curious. Is this something that a - what are you exactly? A troll?"

A pause.

"I can arrange a trade for this information."

With a nod of his head Kankri affirmed the first question and then allowed for the inevitable portion of the conversation. "It's not rude. Not intentionally." But there was more than momentary silence as he gathered his thoughts. "A troll, yes." He confirmed, shifting so that his knees could switch position, the cross of his knees just the same once he had. "You've already been the most kindly on this ship. You've paid your toll."

To further the humour of it, "There is only one bridge on this ship and I can't get under it, so you're not obligated to trade for anything." That was a fairytale joke. "Humour aside, of course you're curious. Your species is one of the most curious that I remember. In my best knowledge this isn't the afterlife and the life I had after, should you wish to call that afterlife, was more a purgatory. A reminder of all the things that everyone remembered. If it helps, which I hope, I would have agreed with you had I not died and—" the tall man lifted his hands, air quoting, "—"become a ghost." as it was." End quote.
