Boat Trolls planning thread! (full of spoilers, non-players enter at your own risk)

how about i have bel come and see erskin before the operation and get shooed out, and then he can go see galley? cuz yeah, i don't want to write the operation, plus it's not likely to be very interesting to read, just trying to unfuck the mess that is erskin's stump and drain the ick and so forth.

edit: oh, to clarify, the VR thing is not for during the operation, erskin will be knocked out for that. it's for after, when the bioware is detaching from his nervous system. cuz the bioware will be sending him a lot of garbage data, and the VR headset is to deliver clean sensory data directly to his brain. so he'll have something to focus on, and not withdraw into catatonia or anything.

i was thinking jethro could be the one to interact with him via the headset. texting back and forth, or playing games together. just stuff to keep him occupied and focused.

 

ok, i will write!

 

oh my god how is grownup bel so patient, he wants to jump galley's bones but he's playing legos instead, this is not the road to smutville.

 

that sounds about right. and reveling in physicality once he gets past the surprise that hey, here is a gross squishy body thing that is actually kind of great. he also seems to really, really like sincerity and affection, of which bel is a gushing fountain.

 

the aggressively selfish route sounds good, especially when he finds out how much bel enjoys providing good service. :D

 

i just noticed the time. i must do a sleep. i will be around tomorrow though!

 

negotiating a scene before the clothes come off, bel? what is this mature adult nonsense? it's like this isn't fandom at all. :U

 

fortunately, these are trolls, to whom "oh my god you poor bastard" is sexy. :D

 

if you don't think galley would/could have melted plastic stuff, i can edit.

 

i should go to bed. p sure i'll be around tomorrow afternoon/evening.

 

that's what i was picking up. poor bel has no clue.

possibly he SHOULD have a clue and it's exdys making me play him clueless. but fuckit, rp is for funsies.

 

i'm thinking sigmah might be a little bit famous on the helmsman subnet. he became a helmstech to basically infiltrate the helm system and find weaknesses that could be exploited to free helmsmen, and he's mostly maintained his cover, but he frequently bent the rules and fudged procedures to make them less awful for his patients. stuff like, implanting subliminal patterns in the disorientation training that allows helmsmen to retain some fraction of their executive function on the low-down. and giving them anaesthetic for painful procedures. which he probably purchased on his own stipend, since it wasn't provided.

 

yeah, but on the other hand -- they have a five-kilometer-long playground in space, and maybe once sigs and pancho start sciencing together, they can work up some kind of traveling rig so galley can tour the ship in a motorized chair or something.

ok i should go do Not Internet for a while. i will probably check in late-ish this evening.
