CHARACTERS: Good ol' Garrett and you!
LOCATION: THE SHIIIIP. That's not vague at all. Starts Dec. 10th, but whenever time this week you want.
WARNINGS: He might sniff your character. Super secretly. He's also pretty good at overhearing things with his magical vampire ears, if you wanna do something like that. If your character is injured, he'll probably swivel and leave. Generally, if you have an idea for something, just let me know! Warnings for him thinking about how yummy your human character smells, I guess. /sunglasses
SUMMARY: Garrett is a curious mind. Cue him getting into people's business and trying to figure out how a big space ship actually works.



Garrett's been in and out of places around here--mainly the med bay. He's quick enough that swiping the blood packs isn't so difficult, though he's starting to notice there's not... as big a stigma against the supernatural around here. In fact, it's kinda spooky. Twilight Zone, that's what it is.

The synthetic blood isn't that great, but he's a trooper. Total trooper.

...

Okay, he takes some of the real goods, and it legitimately takes effort to peel himself away from the med bay, instead of tearing the place apart and drinking it all until sated. But he manages. He's not ingesting nearly as much blood at a time like he would back home, but he's decently fed. He still eyeballs the animals in the gardens with a thoughtful expression, because. Well. He's had animals on the mind since he went to Forks and spoke with the Denalis...

Wonder what cow tastes like?

He climbs around through the latter levels of the garden, where the jungles are. The deeper he goes, the less people are around, which is great because he just loves stretching his legs. It's as close to Earth as he could be, and anything's better than nothing. Eventually he takes a break to lay in the usual gardens, eavesdropping where he's able while he pretends to sleep. He admittedly like this particular place a lot. Nice to gather thoughts, and not too many people bump into you.

He also visits the kitchens, even if he doesn't eat or drink. Because why not? Hey, just because someone doesn't drink doesn't mean they can't visit the bar. Even if it is a wasted opportunity. He couldn't help but wonder how where they were keeping all the supplies. Did they just... have a big room full of crap, swap it out when they need more? ... And is this a space microwave or something?

Might as well visit the shuttle bay, too. Though a lot of his exploration there consists of 'what's this button doooo'? For most of his thoroughly lazy wandering, he decides to venture off into the hallways. He's really honestly hoping he runs into something dangerous and unknown, because that just sounds exciting, especially on a mystery ship like this. He'd rather know what he's dealing with here before it decides to come to him, but who knows how good his luck is in that department. Heck, not too much interesting to see... Some drawings from time to time... some creepy doors.

Wonder how much it'd take to punch through any of this.

Though he's not really discouraged, and empty hallways ain't no scary thang. He likes having a lot of places to walk, and considering he can go without food and water, he can go through the place for a few days without any trouble. What's sleep? Nothin', that's what. He barely remembers how sleep feels.

Maybe he'll run into some mystery company while he's out and about? Might smell you before you see him, though. Or maybe he'll just run into you. Whatchu' doing out in the halls Heather?

... He's really sorry if he looks like a creepy silhouette, HE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE GODDAMMIT, IT'S TOTALLY THE COAT.

Not that he enjoys jump scares or anything.

Murphy just shrugs at that. "They're a good source of protein, from what I hear."

Ha ha, very funny. You a funny man.

But really, das gross.

"Any particular reason for the interest in the local wildlife?"
yardbird: ...I DEFINITELY have breast cancer. (got the results of the test back)

"Uh... huh." Come on, Murphy, it's a completely innocent statement. No reason to get all suspicious or anything.

Riiight.

"Guess it doesn't hurt anybody just to make sure..."
yardbird: GLORY GLORY HALLUIUUAHAHHGG. (nobody knows the trouble i've seeeen)

"Actually..." Murphy considers this very slowly. "Shit, you're probably right. Think it was 'bout, uh... five months ago? This hallway opened up and -- that's when we found the Science Department. Place was completely overridden with these things..."

Murphy's not sure exactly what to call them, though the fact that the creatures in there might have been human at one point never did sit well with him.

"Looked like they'd been there awhile, but... no idea how they managed to survive the jumps."
yardbird: Man, I hit him with a 12-gauge and I didn't give him a chance to reload. (why did the dickhead cross the road?)

[personal profile] yardbird 2012-12-29 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

...Yes. Except that Murphy doesn't know what the hell the things are called. Bah.

"I was a bit preoccupied tryin' to make sure the damned thing didn't tear my leg off to politely ask." Oh Murph, so deadpan.
yardbird: From church! See you in Hell. (suck a bag of reindeer cock)

"Like... I dunno -- like they could've been human at one point." And if the following news on the matter had been any indicator, they very well might have been. "They were crawlin' all over the Science Department when we'd found it. Nasty lookin' things. Big. Fast. Sharp teeth. No eyes, looked like they'd scratched 'em out..."

You know.

For kids.
yardbird: Because it ain't no trivia about my flat in West Bolivia. (your honor; i'ma have to get rid of ya)

Bro, you cray. You cray, bro.

"You're not gonna find one alive, if that's what you're fixin' for. They got wiped out when people were gettin' the Science Department cleared, but that's where they first showed up."

At least, far as Murphy was concerned they were. He hadn't seen one scurrying around the halls ever since.
yardbird: These are the days we'll never forget... (bring on the floodlights)

Murphy lifts a brow. "Ah, there probably are. Trust me, this place is huge -- and there's not nearly enough people on it to cover the grounds here."

Considering how much space there is, it's a safe bet to assume that this ship was large enough to populate an entire city. Way more than the three hundred people that currently live here.
