Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

[latinumsbetter]

No. It's meant to figure out which ones are worth spending time on.

[dry and annoyed, walking over to pick up the one Crito threw aside, before unrolling it and giving it a look...before he rolls it up and moves to put it in a different pile]

[psychonductor]

Oh.

[Hm.]

Is that important?

[latinumsbetter]

It is if you don't want to waste your time on something that won't be that helpful because you can't read it.

[psychonductor]

[They digest that for a moment.]

But wouldn’t you rather do something that you actually enjoy?

[latinumsbetter]

Once I'm done with this, I will do something I enjoy. The sorting part isn't the interesting part; what comes after is.

[psychonductor]

I see, I see.

[They click their tongue and nod for a long while.]

What comes next?

[latinumsbetter]

Next, I read through the stuff that's worth spending time on and pick out the important information.

[psychonductor]

[…]

And that’s…fun?

[latinumsbetter]

Nothing like getting some useful information under your belt in a new place.

[psychonductor]

Well…

[They sound doubtful.]

If you say so…

[They idly take a scroll in their hands.]

You hoping to find something in particular?

[latinumsbetter]

I hardly have any information on this place at all, so there's nothing much for me to be particular about. Maybe down the line, but right now I'm just getting what I can.

[he huffs, setting down another scroll]

Which, at the moment is absolutely nothing.

[psychonductor]

I see.

[Slow nod.]

I’d be hoping for stuff about trains.

[latinumsbetter]

[...wait what? Quark turns his head to look at Crito]

Trains? Why trains?

[psychonductor]

Have you ever seen one?

[Said like it would make perfect sense if he had.]

[latinumsbetter]

In hyu-mon holosuite programs, once. Didn't seem that impressive to me. And full of smoke and guys with guns.

[psychonductor]

I don't know about smoke and guns, but mine's pretty swanky.

[They sigh fondly.]

They're like a big, beautiful beast. Like an angel.

[latinumsbetter]

Yours? You've got a train? [because what]

[psychonductor]

Yep. How else am I going to do my job?

[latinumsbetter]

And your job is...?

[psychonductor]

I escort the dead to the afterlife!

[latinumsbetter]

[.....]

By train?

[psychonductor]

How else do you think I'm gonna fit all those people on?

[latinumsbetter]

Is it really that many?

[bud what]

[psychonductor]

How many people do you think die every day?

[latinumsbetter]

That's something I try not to think about.
