[ 06 ] Voice/Video

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[If Nate sounds tired and cranky, it's because he is. Still injured from the mission, having the psychic feedback of everyone grumpy about the whole exploding spaceship thing bouncing around his head - yeah. Not a happy camper here. Which is probably also why he sounds a bit defensive.]

Look, at least nobody died, alright?

[Filtered to Raiden and Nikolas Kamarov | Video]

[...Yeah, he looks about as tired as he sounds. Sorry, new roomies.]

Hi. I'm Nathan. Don't touch my stuff. That goes double for the coffee - and if you do, I'll know.

Hey, they have to get their daily complaints in somehow, right?

[ He would have preferred to use text, buuut his fingers won't quite cooperate yet, so instead Nate gets a scratchy and weak-voiced Caesar on his line. Seems like post-landing problems are going around here. ]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Well, they can aim them somewhere that isn't me.

And you sound like hell. [yep too tired for tact]

[commentboxtroll]

Considering how much worse it could have been without you on board? Yeah. They really should look elsewhere.

Me? Yeah, well, so do you.

Now you've done it.

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Pretty sure whatever 'it' is can't be much worse than the present.

[heartsink]

Things can always get worse. And while it's true they can always get better, too, getting worse seems much more likely in a situation like this.

[ especially with a body count, she types and deletes, because maybe that's a bit too morbid. ]

[whatsupcroc]

Not everyone's had to deal with a whole lot of silver linings in a rock and a hard place situation before, I think!

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

In a place like this, they should get used to it.

[whatsupcroc]

I agree, but being grumpy about it usually only works on like, 7% of people!

I don't drink coffee.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Hn. Missing out, I'd say.

[onblackwings]

Oh, you survived the landing.

[ THIS IS ASSUMING NATE STAYED WITH GAMORA, I'LL TOTALLY CHANGE THIS OTHERWISE ]

Re: video

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[He stayed with her, you're good]

People seem to underestimate my survival abilities.

[gamora]

We should have let it fall on them.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'm not sure they deserve that. [because he's not as much of a sociopath as you, Gamora]

But there's a distinct lack of appreciation for the skills necessary for emergency landings.

[copia]

[ Guess who's surprised to hear that from you, but also relieved that you're okay! ]

Judging by that statement, were you on the ship, Nathan?

[voice]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

When it went down? Yeah.

[Filtered to Nate / Video]

[anothercoldwar]

[Oh, look. Someone arguably older than he is. That's... a relief. He was vaguely worried he'd be stuck with teenagers. Who liked pop music. Or some equivalent horror. It takes him a moment to find the video function, as he's only used to voice communicators, really. Have a cranky old Russian, Nate]

I wasn't intending to touch anything.

[There's a pause as he reads over things again]

You had something to do with the ship?

[No accusation there, just curiosity]

[Filtered / Video]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[Nate only knows abnormal teenagers. And his appreciation of pop music is probably pretty grounded in the 80s. Though he's glad that yes finally someone else who is actually vaguely his age. Teenagers EVERYWHERE.]

I was one of the people on board trying to keep it from making more of a mess than it did, yeah.

[solitaire]

Y'really know how ta win people over, don't you?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I try.

[Sometimes. Now is not one of those times.]

voice

[khajidont]

[At least nobody died is something a bit new to hear on the network.

Or not, maybe people say that every day, Jaime doesn't really know, but it's enough to catch his attention.]

Let me guess - you were one of the guys on the spaceship?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Yeah.

[worldswillburn]

[seriously. being an empath sucks right about now.]

Finally have something else to talk about. Might as well let them enjoy it.

Re: video;

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[It always sucks to be Nate, it just sucks a little more than baseline right now.]

They can go enjoy it somewhere else then.
