A few things:

[ Exile doesn't waste time with pleasantries. She's sure they're all thrilled to be here and there's probably more than enough whining and nonsensical banter going on. Good times, thanks but no thanks. ]

So, how many of us are here? At all? And how many of is are out of the pods? Does anybody keep a tally?

Besides that, I know there are some Force sensitives out and about. You've probably felt me, too. You know that feeling of dread and despair that permeates the walls sometimes? That's me. I'd be interested in hearing about the state of the galaxy from where and when you're from.

[ Her main reason to know who's who is to avoid them, of course. She can't help but feel like she needs to keep tabs on anyone that might be a danger to others though. ]

And lastly: card games. Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Antiques. College. The Force.

I feel like I'm in a mummers play in another language entirely.

[saucius]

You don't know what an antique is?

[badgerlock]

Well I do now.

[But you know.]

Over a hundred probably. It's harder to keep track of who woke recently since they didn't "crash-land" in a massive group.

[saucius]

I heard about that. Kind of wishing that would've been my thing, as opposed to being told to pretend nothing is wrong and have some watermelon.

Card games. You're serious.

[Yeah, apparently. Sid shakes his head a little, for lack of anything to say about any of this Force talk.]

...There's this one blasted game that's become more popular in Ishgard, come to think of it, but like hells I'm going to teach it to you.

[Read: because he sucks at it. A lot.]

Everybody needs a hobby.

[ Well that's one way to make her interested. ]

Now you gotta tell me, come on!

What is this force that you speak of?

( she's never heard of such a thing before now, and can't quite imagine what sensitivity to it means. )

[saucius]

[ For Diana she'll switch to video. ]

It's easier to show than to explain, because the explanation might confuse you further.

[ video | un: professorx ]

[axiomed]

[ . . . Huh. ]

How does this sensation manifest?

[saucius]

If you aren't Force sensitive you won't understand the explanation, although psychics and empaths might be able to feel it too if they try to get a read on me.

How about a drink to go with a round of cards?

[ and stories about the state of the galaxy when they're both from. ]

[saucius]

That bad?

[ Who is she kidding? It's always bad. ]

If you can get an accurate headcount, let me know. And what the hell is a Force sensitive?

[saucius]

Yeah yeah, seems like people haven't really been counting. I could technically do it myself but it might raise some concerns.

[ Her initial reply to his question is a sigh. ]

Someone like me, basically? I don't think I've shown you the Force, have I?

[ It's not that he's skeptical — because he really isn't — so much as he's stuck on the whole "feeling of dread and despair" thing. ] Cheery.

[ David rubs at his lower lip, expression turning thoughtful for a moment as he debates how best to respond to the question of headcounts. ]

Over a hundred, at a guess; the station seemed populated but it sounds like not everyone was recalled when we started waking.

[saucius]

Oh yeah, I'm a riot.

[ Humor as a coping mechanism amirite? ]

That doesn't make much sense, does it?

There's about two hundred, maybe a couple score on top of it. I dunno the half of what else you just said, lady, but I'll play whatever card game you want so long as you promise to match.

[saucius]

That's twice than most people are telling me, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I'm still working on procuring an actual set of cards, but once that's done I'll let you know.

A census.

[That's all. He says it really authoritatively though, like that answer will solve all problems.]

[saucius]

Well.

You're not wrong.

Knowledge, understanding. Amusement?

Information is power.

[ the name in the directory attached to this un is LYRA RALLIK. ]

are you saying you're force sensitive?

[saucius]

[ fake names are cool tho ]

Am I? I guess I am. Even if back home that was the easiest way to call every trigger happy merc in the star sector to my position.
