Military Log - 001

[ooc: Takes place right after Log Post, so if you want to do action stuff go there]

[Blink blink. The cambot is close up on someone's face and is eventually held out at arm's reach as Maes stares at it with a look of confusion] What is this thing? I've never seen anything like it before...is it like a camera then? [He taps the lens] It does have a lens, but it doesn't seem to have any way of releasing the photograph or anything.

[He releases the cambot, letting it float away and up. Cambot continues to record him. Maes smiles slightly] Right. So, I expect a few answers about this place. I didn't think Heaven would be so...weird looking. [Frown as he remembers something, he shakes it off] It'd be great if you could just answer a few questions and help a guy out. I'm Maes Hughes by the way and I have to say this place certainly looks interesting.

[Galadriel notices the newcomer while waiting for the next challenge.]

Hail and well met, Maes Hughes. I am Galadriel. I would be happy to answer any question you have to the best of my ability.

May I ask what exactly you mean by "Heaven?" I am afraid I am not well versed in the traditions of Men.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey there are people here and apparently they can respond to this...device. So it's like a telephone as well, interesting. Maes nodds]

Thanks, Galadriel.

[What does she mean about that 'traditions of Men' thing. Okay, one question at a time Maes]

Haeven's a sort of after life. It's where some people think they'll go when they die. [Hesitates] So what's this place? Since I'm starting to think it's not that.

[keeperonenya.livejournal.com]

Well, this place is a great ship in space controlled by so called "evil" men on the ground. Though so far, they have been more annoying than evil.

[Suddenly her eyes go wide at what Maes has said.]

You mean the last thing you were doing before you came here was... dying? Yet I see no sign of injury on you. Incredible.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Awkward laugh, she's the first to put it so bluntly]

Yeah, let's try to keep that information a little quiet. [serious face] I don't want to cause a panic or anything, but yes, I was gravely injured a few minutes ago but now I appear to be fine with no signs of trauma.

[Sam is rather interested in that shiny blue uniform...]

I can most assuredly assure you that this isn't heaven. It is a very weird space station.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Is that a talking bird...thing. Maes stares. He's not sure he can deal with much more weirdness.]

Space station? You mean...we're in space? How is that even possible?

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

[It's okay, Sam can't deal much with weirdness, either.]

Yes.

How any of us are here, I haven't any idea. How this space station is here...it is my assumption that someone built it and then launched it.

[paidinlaughs.livejournal.com]

No, not Heaven. Although if that's where you're supposed to be, I can assist with your preparations~

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

I don't feel so...under the weather any more, thanks. [He's going to avoid talking about being shot if he can help it. No sense bringing that up if there's no evidence of it on his person]

[paidinlaughs.livejournal.com]

Well, if you change your mind...

[verygassy.livejournal.com]

You think this is heaven?

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Let's just say there are very few other places I could have woken up in...and this certainly isn't Central's hospital. [He shakes his head, he really doesn't want to be talking about this, especially with a young girl]

[verygassy.livejournal.com]

[Oh, the irony.]

Naaah, this isn't heaven! This is just the Satellite of Love. Somehow we're hostages here.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Awwww, silly, we're not in heaven! We're in space! If you look out the window, you can see allllll the stars and moons and comets and planets, all for yourself!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Okay first the bird and now a pony. Hughes is just beyond baffled about this. Not only is it a pony that talks it's a PINK ONE. Seriously, it looks like a toy he would get Elysia on a whim. This is really going to take some getting used to.]

Space. Right. There is no way we're---[oh hey he found a window while walking and there is indeed a view of a bright blue planet and several stars outside. Have a long shocked pause] in space.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

SEE? See! SPACE!

Oooh, wait, you must be new here! I'm Pinkie Pie, and it's super nice to meet you! Chocolate or vanilla?

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

What, you from one'a those backwards planets that just invented the light bulb or somethin'? Of course it's a camera.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[And another talking bird. You know, by this point he's not even surprised any more. He's still baffled, but between finding out your in space and talking animals there is only so much insanity he can take]

We have the light bulb. We just...don't have floating cameras. [He did say camera right? This was more than the photography camera he was used to though]

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[Insanity? Pshaw.]

It's just another robot. An annoying robot, but it's at least kind of useful.

[best_day_ever]

Hi, Maes! I'm Phineas. Actually, we're on a satellite.

[He indicates toward Cambot.] And this guy's kind of like a big web cam.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Oh there are kids here too? Jeeze. At least he's human though, not that the ponies and birds had been bad (mostly) it was just very much out of his comfort zone]

Hello Phineas. Sorry, we don't have satellites where I'm from, but I've been told by the others [like the PONY] that we're in space, right? That'll take some getting used to.

Also, sorry, what's a webcam exactly? I don't see any web device attached to this robot. [He knows the term robot at least thanks to the BIRD]

[best_day_ever]

It's not that bad. They've got artificial gravity and everything so it's a lot more like Earth than you'd think!

Oh, did you come from a place without them? Webcams are little video cameras you can use to see people and talk to them live over the internet!

Catching up on all the posts~

[Namine smiles.]

Hello, Maes...Or should I call you Hughes? [She's getting used to the whole "first and last name" thing]

The Cambots don't give you pictures, but they're good for talking to people. This is the Satellite of Love; I'm not sure what Heaven is like.

yay

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Hughes is fine. [He used to more people calling him that anyway]

It does seem good for that, yes. I've met several people through it already. So that's what this place is called then? That's an...interesting name choice.

Unfortunately, I don't know what Heaven is like either. Maybe some other time.

Re: yay

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[She nods] My name is Namine.

[Namine tends to use Cambot more than speaking in person, but we'll not go into that now. ]Mike or the robots might know how the satellite got it's name, if you'd like to know.
