hey i have something from home. i want to know what everyone thinks! it's one of my favorites
[There's a couple of seconds where nothing is heard. But suddenly, without warning, a rather distinctive song begins to play:
yes it's the gold saucer music
And no, it's not stopping. Not for a good ten minutes or so. Probably best to just cut the feed two minutes in... or sit and listen. Maybe there's a prize at the end for listening to a 10 minute loop.
There is not.
And yes, a certain someone just acquired a Birdbox from the shop and decided to put it to good use. You know, sharing culture from your home world and all that good stuff. He might also be trying to see if anyone recognizes the music, just to take note who else is from Gaia.]

are you telling me that you've never heard of an amusement park?
did you never leave your house or something???
no subject
[He's probably doing a pretty good job of getting sarcasm across through text there.]
Whenever the hell I possibly could.
no subject
i'm guessing you live out in the middle of the woods or something. you're like the first person i've spoken to that has never heard of an amusement park.
1/2
2/2
No, I don't live in the middle of the damn woods. I actually live on a space station.
And before you claim that's why I've never heard of you parks of massive amusement, they don't exist on any of the planets I've visited.
no subject
okay wait you live out in a space station
that's uh. wow!! far beyond anything! no one on my planet ever made it that far! how could people make a space station and yet not invest in an amusement park though?? that's bizarre!
no subject
[And yes, but systems he means multiple solar systems with a huge variety of planets that can be traveled to regularly.]
Andarions get their amusement by beating the ever loving snot out of each other. And the few that don't enjoy doing it themselves find their pleasure watching other Androkyn beat the shit out of each other in the Ring. Way more amusing than a park. As for the other races, virtual reality is usually good enough, and you don't even have to leave home. There might be some amusement park games or something. I don't know. I only played the shooters.
no subject
wait why would people play with virtual reality and stay home when space travel is available? that just seems like a huge waste to me! i wouldn't want to stay back.
no subject
[Clearly space travel is a big deal where Rufus is from... Not so much in Jules' world.]
Space travel isn't exactly a novelty. It's pretty damn common place in the United Systems. It's how goods get shipped and people move around. Unless you're ridiculously wealthy and enjoy luxury cruisers, there's not a lot of reason to go flying through space just for fun. Besides, there are a lot of groups out there that target individual craft that can't defend themselves.
[His included, sort of. The Tavali, and particularly the Gorts, have some standards.]
no subject
so its sense of wonder has entirely disappeared on you? that's a damn shame, if you ask me. something like that should always last! but terrible to think that criminals out there are threatening innocent people's ships
no subject
[You're talking to a guy who has no idea what roller coasters are. The only point of reference he has is actually drink coasters.]
Not lost on me, no. I love flying. It's amazing.
Don't just assume they're innocent. There aren't a lot of innocents who have that kind of cred.
no subject
sooo you're saying that it's perfectly fine for those groups to attack those defenseless ships?
no subject
Right...
Not a whole lot of defenseless ships out there. Most are armed. And defenseless is rather subjective.
no subject
and maybe they're not common, but isn't it still wrong to target them??
no subject
[He'll be the first to tell you that the biggest assholes with money used to share a last name with him.]
Depends on your view of wrong. There are a hell of a lot of "wrong" things out there, but most aren't wrong from every viewpoint.
no subject
guess comes to show that assholes live everywhere, not just on one planet. but maybe just living on this world could've told me that, ha ha ha!
and my view of wrong is attacking poor, defenseless people, even if they were wealthy or somethin'
no subject
Usually one in every family. You don't need to try and find just one on a planet.
You wouldn't last very long where I'm from with that philosophy.
no subject
hah! i'm sure i can live just fine, i've been in the army! just cause i have morals doesn't mean i wouldn't last long
no subject

no subject
but yeah they totally sound awful
no subject
Besides, I was actually behaving! Wasn't even exaggerating on any of those questions.
