"But what if I forget to magnet!?"

WHO: D'vana Tendi
WHERE: Medical, Playback, Rische
WHAT: Medical times, video games and Klingon Acid Punk
WHEN: September


i. Medical - Back in medical, Tendi is doing her thing, keeping an eye on injured patients, making sure people who need help are getting it!

ii. Playback - Classic arcade machines are an interesting diversion for Tendi, even if it's something like someone playing the Royal game of Ur, it's still fun, and most of the time how to play is rather self-evident. Even if she's a bit annoyed at the common occurrence of other green skinned space babes being enemies in the arcade games.

iii. Rische - Tendi is up over at the DJ booth, with her PADD plugged into the sound system, and currently "Gre'thcor Paradise" is playing at a very intense volume, just this level of pain.

Oh good, because Nobuanga has a need to fulfill his two favorite things in life: guns, and curiosity about new things.

"Is it--" ahhhh what's the word? "Co-Op? I'm sure I can help. And I've been wanting to see these zombie creatures everyone spoke of and to understand why guns would even work on dead bodies." A nod.

As for blood... Damn how does he even begin?! Can he go crazy and ask everything? Should he try to mollify that first? -- Yes. Almost definitely. Okay. A warning. "I wish I could say that satisfied my curiosity, but it is truly never-ending. So..." nope can't say please though. He'd literally rather have to fight duels constantly. "Find a way to..." ahhhh the words for this are so hard! He's NOT in his time, he's not in his WORLD, and he's no longer able to just expect his every order to be instantly met before he even says it! Tact. Damn! He hasn't needed tact ever, and used it even less! "You're very intelligent and--" It's fine just stab him, so long as you give him answers! No no, not everyone is as reticent as an infuriating pirate, right?

Nobunaga's really struggling not to go full question bombardment here. "There's no nonfiction! The only way to know anything is to get it directly from people. I'm not trying to invade your mind," just crack people open and devour their knowledge? No wait... "But my usual... reflex, is to save time by asking everything that comes into my head all at once." A nod! "So if you need to stop me, just do, and I'll listen."

[starfleetcleaner]

"Aw, thank you! And look, if you have any questions, just ask! Really, I'm more likely to talk until you're bored than for me to get annoyed with questions! So really, ask away! What's on your mind?"

[konpeito_aji]

He's so thrilled! He can't even look straight at her though, because he's genuinely embarrassed and worried he's going to show how much even he feels like a five year old just going outside for the first time to explore. Meeting a professional explorer! AHHHHH THE EXCITMENT!

Gah. Too many questions though! "Copper. Do you know when they found that out? Binding agent..." closes his eyes trying to think of humans as weapons with the iron, and that's just dizzying. "Are you related to humans? Descended from? Have you met humans before this ship? What was your normal life like on Orion? Does the copper thing change much else? How far have you traveled--?" Oh... He is going to go FOREVER. Okay. Slowing it down, he rummages through his pockets for a lollipop to suck on, and offers a spare one to her as well. But um. More questions, "Oh, can you have this kind of candy? The Portuguese missionaries always brought me konpeito. Symbolic, but now I have a weird instant association I guess." Solemn nod. "Is the copper thing every person knowledge or esoteric? How'd you individually come by it?"

[starfleetcleaner]

"Well, I'm not from Earth at all, Orion is far away, and as for when, not sure, it's just one of the basic medical pieces of information. Humans, yes, I've met those before, we've been warp capaible for a while, and we've always had run-ins with them, even before I joined Starfleet. Orion was nice, but well, it can be kinda...rough. But it's a lot better now! Most Orions haven't been pirates for like, 5 years! And the copper binding dosn't really effect much, just a diffrent way of doing things, you know? Some other species have similar things, Vulcans for one, but their skin is a more pinkish human color. And sure! I can have some candy, what's it made of?" Tendi rattles off her responces almost as fast as Nobunaga can answer, she's thrilled to talk about anything.

[konpeito_aji]

"So you are my third alien..." spoken with a happy note of wonder. SO THRILLED. Also, yes. Third. But the other first two were humans from Auldrant. Wherever that is.

"What's Starfleet? Ohhhh pirates..." He said that out loud, oops. Pirates though. Of course, he has a pretty love-hate relationship with pirates. Being as he's kind of at war with them, but also wanted to be one, and envies their freedom and exploration. "Vulcans," he nods like he understands, but he literally is thinking like pink like pigs. "Do you know a lot of other non-Earth species too? How many? What's the furthest you've traveled?"

Deep breath, they are going to be such good friends! "Sugar! And I think these might have cream? Which is European milk, um, my lands don't have milk yet. It's really rare. It comes from cows and other mammals, but it's not as disgusting as it sounds, it's sweet. Oh! Have you had ice cream yet? That's made from cow's milk too! Cream. Sugar is the sweetest part of plants, super processed and crystallized and melted down, and it's the best." Also part of his love-hate with pirates, because if it wasn't for them, he'd have almost no sugar in Japan at all, and then he'd probably die from deprivation. "What do Orions eat? And Vulcans? What's the plant-life like? There's all kinds of different plants in Europe we don't have in Asia. Even the trees are different! And the Portuguese were talking about how the New World - that's called America um, some four hundred years to my future, the plants there are even crazier."

He only pauses long enough to breathe. "Oh! And have you seen the alcohol around here? They're made from different New World plants too! In Japan, we mostly just have sake! It's made from rice. Never thought I'd say it, but in comparison it seems really boring." He's on a high from novelty, and it might take a long time to wear off! "But here there's more than I could have imagined? They make alcohol from everything. There's more alcohol than even food types? But Windjammer has so many, and one day if I'm here long enough, I will try them all! Do they have Orion foods too?"

Oh also - "So -- Orion used to be pirates, but did they have guns? Or was it so far in the past it's kind of irrelevant? Do the humans of your time still have guns?"

[starfleetcleaner]

"Oh of course! We've had ice cream, there's a place to get it on the ship, all sorts of flavors, very nice stuff. Foodwise, well, just about whatever the replicators can make, I do really like Pesto though! That's very tasty. And if you like Alochol, I've gotta show you some Romulan Whiskey or some Klingon Bloodwine! It's powerful stuff!"

Tendi pauses for a moment at this last question. "Um...No, it wasn't in the past, and we had guns, I mean, phaser and energy weapons, if you mean chemical kinetic weapons? we don't really use those much anymore! I mean, I'm from 2380!"

[konpeito_aji]

"Yes, I only ever first had ice cream here," nod nod. "And then I tried to try all the flavors in one go, but I'm less worried about not getting a chance to now. Romulan whiskey, Klingon Bloodwine, got it."

He bites the side of his thumb, and nods again, a little more uncertainly. "I guess spaceship war is a bit... beyond my understanding." Wow that's hard for him to say. The idea that he couldn't instantly pick up on any and all war technology, but no... it's fine... that far ahead? Definitely fine. "But it is more peaceful than Earth's past, right?" Nobunaga gestures to one of the plastic guns as he picks it up and gets ready to test it on game zombies.

[starfleetcleaner]

"Well, depends on where you are really. Like, there have been some nasty wars, Wolf 358, The Dominion War, things like that, and some people are a lot more aggressive than others. Earth itself is lovely though! I spent time in San Fransisco for the academy." Tendi draws the plastic gun and with the other hand pulls out her phaser, showing it to Nobunaga. "This is what we use now, it's kind of a multitool as compared to just a weapon."

She hits the start button and aims down the screen. "But for the most part? It's peaceful."

[konpeito_aji]

"Wow!" He's brimming with the possibilities. "What else does it do? I would have never recognized it! What's the Dominion War? Oh, and academy? What do you do?"
