Hello there, Holonet! Or internet, as some people seem to be calling it. (I wouldn't really know the difference ... tech isn't my strong point. I had to get Darpen to set up my connection again after I broke my datapad. Apparently computers don't like alcohol. Who knew?)

Anyway, I would be out doing something interesting, but I'm not allowed to leave my room until the next time I'm on duty (oh-five-hundred!?!). Along with computers not liking alcohol, I've also learnt today that commanding officers don't appreciate trails of grass and branches through the base, especially into the kitchens. And their rooms. When there's slime involved...

The point is, I'm bored, so I thought this would be a fun way ... not to be bored.

Hi! I'm Wes. Someone else start talking now.

Hi, Wes! I'm Kitty. Nice to meet you?

It's certainly nice to meet you! So, what kinda fun stuff goes down here, Kitty?

Oh, gosh. Lions, tigers, bears, the occasional virus. Thwarting evil-doers. I think a better question would be what fun stuff doesn't go down here.

Now that's the kinda answer I like. Party all the time, huh?

No, half the time it's running and screaming. I think you have to schedule the parties.

Yeah, while I have heard of parties like that, I tend to prefer the kind with flirting and alcohol. Obviously this is a job for me.

Obviously. =)

Someone sounds like a troublemaker.

Really? Who?! We simply must find and discipline him at once!

Hey, you aren't my kid.

Have fun at least?

Ma'am, having fun is my life philosophy. You can count on it.

Interesting life philosophy you got there. I don't think the cooped up in your room part really follows it.

The bit before it did.

I'd sneak out, but now I'm having too much fun reading all these crazy things on the Holonet. Plus, Darpen's room is right next to mine, and he'd whine and report me.

Darpen is...?

No more slime through the base, huh? Whoever confined you to your room got lucky this time.

Oh, he's in my squadron. He thinks he'll get a promotion by tattling on everyone. But he's good with computers, so I gotta be nice to him.

Yeah, but I'll get 'em back later, and this time they won't catch me!

Oh, a snitch. Is this a case of you needing computer help, or him being sneaky with them?

Good luck with that.

Mostly the first. I bet he wouldn't hesitate to mess something up for me using them, though. I better not let him find this place...

If there's one thing we seem to be collectively capable of here, it's alleviating boredom.

Welcome.

Good to know! I plan to test this theory extensively. :D

Why is there a sudden ominous feeling hanging in the air?

Must be some background music. Maybe someone left a receiver on somewhere.

I suppose I'll have to go tell Baodelio to shut the show tunes off, then!

If you stick around here long enough, I doubt you'll ever be bored again.

I hope this place lives up to such exciting promises.

... it looks like it will so far.

Trust me, it will. And then some.

I'm Suze by the way.

((ooc: Yahoo fails! I totally sent this reply forever ago and apparently it never went through >.<))

This is why I don't let humans in my division...

Aw, what've you got against humans? We're a fun bunch sometimes!

if by 'fun' you mean 'a liability'

A lot of people say that about me...

A lot of people seem to come here out of boredom.
Looking for anything in particular? Because if you're another guy looking to hook up, we already have too many of those.

I wouldn't dream of trying to do that here. For a start, there's no alcohol...

Good. As long as your not tracking slime into my apartment, I'm fine with you.

I'm Maraich.

Oh, good. I do appreciate people being fine with me.

Nice to meet you, Maraich!

It's a good way to avoid being killed.

That's true. Still, it'd be fun to see how many people I could make want to kill me.

Here? A lot. And they'll actually try it, too.

What, over the Holonet? Good luck to 'em.

No. They generally appear in person to kill.

No drinking on duty, huh?

Usually, when I'm on duty, it involves being crammed into the back of a tiny starfighter cockpit. There's not much room for drinking anyway, sadly.

You're a pilot? That's great! I'm the captain of my own airship, you should come to Gaia sometime for a ride! And there's enough room in my cockpit for twenty whole @#*@in' crate-loads of beer!

Hey, really? Astral! I want my own ship one day, but I'm pretty happy shootin' for the Alliance for now.

I'll definitely come for a ride if I can get some leave, though! (And if you buy the beer.)

You're a soldier, right? Then I'm sure you'll be able to get your own ship when you're older. Hell, I had to wait years to captain my own, but it'll be worth the wait.

You're on!

~~"Holonet"? Doesn't that mean..?~~

Hi. I'm Orlando. I'll talk.

((Strikeout very difficult to read.))

A surprising number of things don't like alcohol, not to mention slime tracks.
