Log of the Mechanist

Star Date: Who gives a shit. This is First Officer or whatever Dirk Strider Reporting in. We've been stuck here for longer than I can count, and I'm just trying to make the best of it. I'm stuck mentoring Egbert half the time, and the other half of the time I'm trying to find some damn happiness in this place. This world isn't the one I once knew.

"Woah. Uh...hey there little...girl? Girl. Yeah."

You stood a few feet away, eyeing her from head to toe.

He nods slightly in understanding and drapes his arms across his knees, being careful not to brush against  the bandages covering his left leg from the knee down. His teeth bare and he lets out a throaty half laugh, half growl at your last words.

“Ye2, well not everyone ii2 a2 iintere2ted iin human2 a2 ii am.”

Clearing your throat, you glanced off, before returning a glance back to the creature. You found yourself raising your brow with a soft chuckle at first, licking your lips as you offered a smile, “Well, that’s good to hear. I’m quite interested in your kind as well.” You took a moment, holding your arms in a fold across your chest, “It’s a shame it’s taken this long for me to get out into the field. Been caught up at camp…” You eyed around, sighing before looking back up to her.

He shifts a little, tails curling around his feet and wing stretching out before folding against his back again.

“Well you won’t fiind many of u2 out here anymore, quiite a few have gone mii22iing. Though ii wouldn’t really know, ii haven’t been around much eiither.”

“Missing?”

You blinked, pulling your blast goggles up onto your forehead as you narrowed an eye towards him,

“I haven’t heard anything about that. God, I must of really been under for a while…anyway, not the point. Where, um…do you have any idea where they’ve gone? Or why?”

Your grip at your retractable sword had lessened, and now you merely stared up at him, curious to learn of what has been happening.

Oh, damn. Hey there, uh…you.

[feralarmageddons]

Sollux flicks his ears slightly, expression wary, and tilts his head up to smell the air, breathing in your scent.

“Well hello two you two.”

[feralarmageddons]

He settles back on his haunches, trying not to appear intimidating.

“What do you mean?”

[lostmechanist-blog]

His head rolled to the side, before looking down at the feet on the troll, clearing his throat before looking back up, “I’m a little rusty of the whole communication thing. Spent most of my time locked up in my shop so…” You sighed, placing your head in hand before glancing back to the feral, “I wasn’t expecting to run into someone out here. Let alone someone who’s interested in talking.”

"Alright, yeah, hello." You blinked, unsure of a proper reaction as the winged beast man loomed near you, "Everything okay there?"

Entry One: They Fear the Sea

The first thing I take notice on is the indigenous' aversion to the sea. I nearly got ran in by a pack of of the Cobalt in the swamps, but I made it through to a cliff over the sea. I did my best to stay hidden, but eventually something got wind of me. Now, I didn't see it, but I sure as fuck ran like hell. A beam rifle and a retractable katana only get you so far.

Anyway, I decide my only luck was to take a dip in the water, and I went down as far as I could and held my breath.

And then I saw them. Swarms of them lurking in the distance. I was amazed I could see so far, but my goggles really do come in handy for unexpected undersea exploration.

I use the word exploration lightly because I could tell from a distance that I came across some mean motherfuckers out there. Not to be messed with. But...I also noticed not a lot of the land dwellers seemed to come close to shore. I mean, at least on the main land where I am right now.

As of this message, I'm making my way back up the riverbed. I just hope I can get somewhere relatively safe without getting a spear to the head.

Dirk out.
