EVENT: MINING COLONY V'VORTE

[crux_mods]

Who: Councilor Labismat, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, OPEN
Where: V’Vorte
When: June 4th-8th
Warnings: N/A

The Fleet stations itself near V’Varga, the more populated planet of the V’V system, but the majority of the ships are ferrying people down to V’Vorte. Mainly desert, the only things of interest on it seem to be the Mining Plains, which stretch for hundreds of miles; the Blue Circus, which lights up the nights with laser shows and fireworks; and the small town that supports the first two and serves as a small island of normality among the eccentric carnies and boisterous miners. There are rides to and from the Teuberg twice a day, in case you would rather not stay overnight, which are overseen by Science Captain McEngineer, who gives an energetic explanation of the types of metal needed when asked. Back on the Teuberg, Councilor Labismat can be found greeting the ships coming back in, checking on any progress being made.

The V’V natives are mostly humanoid in appearance, with reddened skin tones and large eyes that help them see in the dimmer light of their sun. Most of them, especially the miners, are quite friendly and seem unfazed by the variety of species the Fleet has brought to their doorstep. The only Transports who might get a second glance are the robotic ones, as the mining mechs vaguely resemble them.

"Well, there are a lot of them. Maybe we can go and give them to some of the kids around here. I dunno, it'll make 'em happy, don't you think?"

[driftlock]

"Why the frag would I want to do that?" Look at this face. Does he look like he even knows what 'happy' means? No. He does not.

[fionna_time]

"What else would you do with a bunch of stuffed animals. Well, unless you have a girlfriend or something I guess...?"

[driftlock]

Whatever doubtless genius-level caustic retort that was bubbling in his vocalizer audibly squelched at the 'girlfriend' thing.

"I DO NOT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. She's fraggin' weird and makes everything weird and all we did was kill some bikers together and she made me dance and shut up."

There. Sorted.

[fionna_time]

"I was just say-" Huh. Interesting.

"So who's the girl robot then? She pretty cool?"

Look, she just wanted to know about ALL the cool robots, ok?

[driftlock]

No, it is the opposite of interesting. It is the most boring thing ever so there's no need to talk about it. At all. Ever.

"Hgn." Why does everyone always want to talk about it? "Flashpoint. She's some Autobot, something." See? Boring. "Stole one of her grenades once." There you go, he will tell you something unboring. And about how awesome he is.

[fionna_time]

She'll find a away. Somehow!

"Ok, dude, I'm new here, never seen, like, robots just walkin' around. What the heck is an autobot? Are you not one?"

[driftlock]

He tries to balance the insult of the question with the fact she just admitted she didn't know better. Also, with a double armload of stuffed animals. It's hard to look suitably huffy when you have a rainbow of soft animals in your arms.

"Right. Fine. Autobots are evil. They started the fraggin' war by starving us and then, you know, it got worse." That being said, Flashpoint's kind of okay. For an Autobot. "They also are cowards and losers." JSYK.

[fionna_time]

"Oh." Hmm. That made her wonder. This guy was pretty grouchy, and definitely didn't seem to be too keen on helping anyone for being a good guy. Then again, Espio. Heck, all of her family were PIRATES.

"And you're just ok with those Autobot guys walking around here?"
