WHO: Open to all passengers!
WHAT: A visit to Hama Vorcia, and your 15 minutes of fame.
WHERE: Anywhere on the megastation Hama Vorcia, or Navi.
WHEN: April 11 through May 2
WARNINGS: Add these to your comment subject lines as needed! And if you end up going too hard on one of those extreme challenge shows, please record deaths 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 docking soon at the megastation Hama Vorcia, where we will remain for approximately three weeks, local time.
Please stand by.

The notable lack of turbulence this time is probably a refreshing change, eh?

Upon docking 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). Try not to spend it all in one place!

After that … the megastation’s ceiling is the limit. Have as much fun as you can cram into the next few weeks! Just make sure to pace yourselves - you wouldn’t want to get sidelined by muscle cramps, right?

Murmur may not seem inclined to choose violence, but Jon's inclined to remain cautious all the same. Once he recognizes Murmur, Jon stops in his tracks and regards his former faux-soulmate warily for a pointed moment.

"You're not going to attack me again, are you?"

Just. Putting that out there.

It's a fair concern and one Murmur can't exactly hold against Jon given their first (second?) official meeting had been quite violent. Murmur didn't appear bothered by the question, only sipping his tea passively.

"No, our period of forced cohabitation has presented me with the opportunity to acclimate myself to your presence. I do apologize for that initial misstep. Join me?"

If he wants, Murmur won't force him.

Jon holds his wary expression for another moment longer, then nods and takes a nearby seat. It seems like something is trying to kill him most of the time, and at least with Murmur, Jon's fairly certain he could Compel him to stop again, if it were necessary.

He's hopeful it won't come to that.

"A shame Georgie wasn't here for all that," he remarks, and takes a sip of his tea. "She always said it was a wonder I never got punched. I'm sure she'd be quite amused to know I was nearly smited."

Oh, Jon would be unwise to make such an assumption. If Murmur truly wanted to eradicate him he'd find a way to prevent Jon from successfully compelling him. Especially now that he knew about it. But, Murmur wasn't going to point out as much. He did so enjoy the element of surprise and being underestimated. It has long worked in his favor.

Still, he'd rather it not come to that as well.

"Oh? A friend, or foe?" Could go either way, from what little he understood of human relational interactions. They were strange creatures. "It may come as a surprise to learn a personal smiting is a rare event, quite prestigious in fact. Typically it's a simpler matter to let nature take its course." You know, bear attacks and floods and such.
