( text | un: sweetie )
Has anyone found a pod containing someone that was supposed to be dead? That they knew to be dead.
( river asks more out of curiosity than anything, out of trying to understand and gain more knowledge on the pods, on who and how they were brought here. she also can't deny that small piece of hope that comes with the question, of wanting to see someone that she couldn't (shouldn't) be able to see again )

lmao its video i'm just tired
( she chuckles )
What do you normally fly?
no subject
Normally is somewhat relative.
John scrunches his face up and reaches out as the puppy bounds back over to him, having another miniature tug of war as he thinks. Playing with dogs buys time you see. ]
Well, day to day we had shuttles so I guess that was my most frequent thing. Before that it wasn't space-ready things, you know. Planes. Helicopters. I've flown a lot of big ships but I guess the biggest was a city-ship.
no subject
she looks impressed )
You've been holding out on me. Now what is a city ship?
no subject
It's a city that's also a ship.
[ The more you know. ]
no subject
Yes, it wasn't immediately obvious.
( the most sarcastic )
I was thinking more about what it looked like, how large, whether it's designed more like a city or a ship.
no subject
[ John please. ]
I mean, it's a city that was designed to be flown so it's kinda both. It has weapons, shields, it can make jumps through hyperspace. I guess it's about the size of Manhattan, if you know what that is.
[ If you've... ever been to Manhattan? Or at least, what he knows as Manhattan... ]
no subject
there's a pause before she responds, river taking a breath, pushing it away. it's been some time since she was last in manhattan but it's an experience that will take time to shake off )
What's the city called?
no subject
Maybe. John can't decide. He errs on the side of 'it's been destroyed anyway, apparently, so what the hell' but equally continues playing with the puppy -- throwing the toy again for her like it's not a big deal to say and he's not interested in River's reaction.
He is. ]
Atlantis.
[ Catchy name, huh? ]
no subject
Atlantis?
( she's an archaeologist, john. digging up the lost city of atlantis sounds incredible. though this sounds far better than any legend that she'd ever read )
Where did you find it?
no subject
Where do you think?
no subject
( otherwise someone would have dug it up by now )
no subject
[ It was indeed at the bottom of the ocean, on the planet known as Lantea. ]
no subject
Which galaxy?
no subject
Pegasus Galaxy, three million light-years from Earth and decent take-out.
no subject
That's one I haven't been to. How many inhabited worlds did you see?
no subject
I'll be honest, didn't really keep count.
[ So, a lot? ]
no subject
( most humans she'd spoken to had never gotten off earth )
Especially for your time.
no subject
[ That. Sure is. One way to word it, yes. ]
no subject
( colour her a little curious )
no subject
[ Learn to lower your expectations, River. ]
My mother always told me so.
no subject
no subject
Well I'm hoping not, she died about 14 years ago now.
[ Not that... death strictly stops the Natha.
John isn't sure how he feels about that thought.
Let's file it under, 'ignore'. ]
no subject
What did she say?
