[The Station isn't a place Merlin likes to be, all things considered. It's cold and clinical and so... unlike anything he can understand or relate to, it's good for showing up to check on who's awake or not maybe once every couple months and then avoiding it altogether the rest of the time. Usually, he wouldn't be up here at all without the spreading rumor that more people are waking up, but...

Well, it's been months in this place without a familiar face, and he's goddamn lonely. It seems like everyone he's met and liked well enough in his time here is leaving, too - whether they've gone back into stasis or they're moving back to Olympia without him. It's been a while since he had to acknowledge feeling this alone.

So. Sulking in the Station. He pokes into the stasis unit but doesn't linger, eventually winding up just sitting in a corridor nearby the sleeping quarters. He doesn't want to stay up here too long, but he doesn't want to go back to Wyver yet, either... so it's while he's sitting on the floor staring at the wall across from him that he catches the movement of another person out of the corner of his eye. Ah?]


...Are you alright?
politrick: (when ya destiny sucks)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-11-30 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, not really, no. [He has the decency to sound a little hesitant about it; telling girls they don't look well while they're wandering around like this at this hour is rude, isn't it, so— here they are. She really doesn't look... her best, though.]

Do you... need anything? Glass of water? I'm quick, I could get you one.
politrick: (your modern methods)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-11-30 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, alright, there she is. Merlin glances to the side a few times, like he's not sure if he should stare right back at her when she's clearly having some kind of very bad night. Ah.

And then she's punching the wall?! Alright, cool, he'll stay where he is...]


You know, I've seen worse?

[merlin,]
politrick: (we're just two hearts)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-11-30 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well - she really does cut straight to the heart of things, doesn't she? Merlin doesn't think to say something like that must be what she's doing, not him; she's not exactly wrong. There are people in this world he likes, that he's friendly with, but he has nothing to tie himself to. Except-]

I do have friends. They're in there, sleeping.

[Except stasis, which is unknown and more than a little frightening, but it's been nearly 6 months now and all of his loved ones are still in there.]
politrick: (carry mandas that they might)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-11-30 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[This, you see, this is definitely more obvious projecting. He frowns, tilting his head away just barely, just in case. He can sympathize with this, probably, but he still doesn't want to become an actual target for violence.

Hmm.]


I'm not— I'm just thinking. Can't a person come up here to think? [a beat.] As if any of this happens because it's good for us.

[Jokes! It's been 6 months.]

[He slumps a little, when she moves away. He doesn't even bother to pretend that's not a relief, he's a noodle who doesn't want to get punched...]

Well, I'm not trying to be useful, so I suppose I'm on the right track.

[There are definitely some issues to work out here, Merlin knows. But he doesn't know what they are—besides the educated guesses he can make right now, this conversation—and he isn't sure if it's his place to do anything about it, anyway.

And she is being a little rude to him, on top of that.]


Sitting on the floor on some impossible moon ship? Not much, I have to admit. Everything I was useful for went up in smoke with the rest of the world.

[personal profile] politrick 2017-12-03 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah... hmm... he doesn't want to do that, though? He hasn't sat on his ass for 6 months, but it hasn't been a grand effort to help save this world.]

The person I'm supposed to help is still asleep. Can't be much use to someone who won't get on with it and wake up already.
rhygret: (SWOL....len)

[ Rhys takes a little longer than the fifteen minutes he promised, but in his defence it's because he had to stop by the station kitchens and grab the ice cream promised for their aforementioned pity-party. He grabs two small pints, one for each of them, and when he shows up he's in light clothes more fitting for a humid jungle climate than an environmentally-controlled space station.

He misses his custom suit :c

He's also missed Anemone, and when he sees her and the...stuffed toy? in her lap he calls out, holding up one of the ice cream pints. ]


Hey! Sorry I'm late. I was grabbing provisions.
politrick: (that one day will go their own way)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-12-04 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah... despite all odds that makes him smirk. So. Lowkey ribbing his sleeping comrades can still combat just a little loneliness, who knew.]

Something like that. He'd certainly be dead by now if he didn't have me.
politrick: (out of wood)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-12-04 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, finally, the thing they can connect on instead of calling each other useless (or rather, Merlin just taking it while she calls him useless) - that whole caretaker/cared for thing. It's something.]

Merlin. Arthur is the one I'm waiting for.

[Which he only offers because it's topical... never mind remembering that.]
politrick: (you had your maps drawn)

[personal profile] politrick 2017-12-04 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is actually very refreshing, and he makes it obvious - at first he looks a little tired, like he doesn't want to explain himself again, but then he perks up when she knows his name from something else entirely.

Thank god.]


That was me, yes. Spent days making myself sick trying to help make the others not sick. I don't recommend that method to anyone else. [it was......nasty] Were you? Sick?
