U.S. OUTPOST #31

“U.S. number thirty-one calling McMurdo, come in, over…”

———

“Testing, testing, 123— Oh it’s recording now, hold on…” *shuffling in background*

“Hello, this is Windows, Radio Operator stationed at U.S. Outpost 31. We have been told that, this is a new type of communication that allows us to talk with people easily, and—” *Windows is cut off as a door opens in the background.*

“What is it?” “Is it up and running?” “Yes, yes it is Garry, now let me do my shit so I can get this over with.” *after a moment of silence, the door closes again.*

“Anyways, that’s basically about it. If anyone has any questions or want to reach us, you know where to go.” *Windows sighs, there is more shuffling before the radio clicks off.*

Things/Rules Before You Interact! (PLEASE READ!)

Preferably nothing overly inappropriate! (Don’t send explicit texts/media!)

Implying ships between the characters are fine, just don’t expect them to react flustered about it! (They would probably be angry)

Silly and whimsical asks are fine and encouraged! (You wanna turn Blair into a cat just because? Great!)

You CAN ask for specific people! Just ask something like: “Question for Fuchs, blah blah blah…” and Fuchs will answer!

If you want to roleplay, just send in the asks: Who your character/OC is, who you want to roleplay with (maximum of three characters), the setting, and the mood of it!

i.e. “My character is [blah blah blah], I would like to RP with MacReady and Windows, the setting is in the radio room, and it is in a tense mood.”

Note: This takes place BEFORE the events of The Thing!

Question for macready who is your favorite person to be around?

"Whisky and my own thoughts."

"That's not an answer-"

"It's the only one you're getting."

Question for the older members of the Outpost: Do you have any favorite younger members, any that you feel parental over or taken under your wing?

*Blair speaking:*

"Well... I suppose Fuchs is under my wing, but because he's my assistant."

*Copper speaking:*

"Aw, that's a cute question. But to answer, I think it would be Mac. Not in a parental way though."

*Garry speaking*

"I don't pick favorites, they're all lousy."

"It's actually Mac. Don't tell Garry I said that." - Windows

*Bennings speaking:*

"Oh, I'd say Nauls, even if his radio is always too loud. He's the youngest of everyone here."

*Norris speaking:*

"Never thought of that... But Clark."

"Nauls!"

"Yeah, what's up?"

*Nauls is in the kitchen, cooking something up. He turns down the radio.*

Question for macready does it ever get lonely in the shack?

“Just one more question Mac, I’ll leave you alone after this.”

*Windows was outside the shack, Mac standing inside the door.*

“…Occasionally. Doesn’t mean I have to go down and talk to the other guys though.”

*Mac closes the door on Windows.*

Question for Palmer!! Favourite hobby??

“Smoking whatever he’s got in that joint, I assume.”

“Shut up Windows.”

*Palmer was, in fact, holding a joint. He took a puff.*

“…I’ve got other hobbies. Like watching TV. And listening to music.”

#the thing 1982 #palmer the thing #windows the thing #windows radioing #palmer says (the thing)

mac that’s your third bottle in five hours WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP—

*Windows was inside Mac’s shack, near the door, holding the radio towards him.*

“I’ll stop when I want to, a’ight? Now buzz off, you’re lettin’ the cold out.”

“But the door isn’t even open—.”

“Out.”

#the thing 1982 #rj macready #macready the thing #mac thoughts (the thing)

A quick little question for Palmer,

How did you get this job? Did someone owe you a favor? Did you just wander in one day? I'm genuinely wondering.

“Everyone loves me today… But if you are wondering, I did have to sign a whack load of shit just to come here, and I can’t exactly opt out anymore. At least the pay will be good when this is all over.”

#the thing 1982 #palmer the thing #us outpost 31 says #palmer says (the thing)

How’s Palmer?

“Palmer— Hey, this one’s for you.”

“Wha- Oh, I’m alright. Just. Watching whatever’s on the tape.”

*He’s lounging at his bed, eyes fixed on the TV.*
