B1, Day 2 [public channel]

[whattaprick]

[ There are a lot of things people need to do right now: help the Prince's servants get resettled, get started on figuring out who can work on a cure for the petrification, deal with the trauma of dying in a hopefully healthy and non-self-destructive way, show the new people the ropes of what the Carnival has to work with.

Instead, in the morning of the second day since the Prince was defeated, anyone on the radio gets this: ]

So, I've been wondering.

[ The Nightrider's voice, for those who recognize it, has definitely been better. It's a low, hoarse rasp, and the pause at the end is not just for effect, but to actually catch his breath. ]

Just how old is everyone here, anyway? Here, I'll start. I'm ... pretty sure I'm almost sixty. [ A beat. ] ... Maybe.

[ Why did anyone let this man have his radio back again? ]

[ ooc; Lambert's flat on his back in the medical tent for this, feel free to bug him in person and threadjack each other at will. ]

Hmmm... sounds legit.

Also, holy crap, you're sixty? You could be my grandpa!

[whattaprick]

Before you ask, I'm not in the market for a granddaughter.

[pullingamiko]

I was super not gonna ask. A grandfather is like the last thing I need around here.

[whattaprick]

[ Lambert snickers at that, but regrets it almost instantly. ]

You don't seem the type who'd listen to one, anyway.

[pullingamiko]

That's right! I don't listen to anyone. [She sounds very proud of that fact.

Then, after a pause:] ...'Cept the 'Bots, sometimes, but they're not here.

[whattaprick]

And who are the 'bots' you sometimes listen to?

[pullingamiko]

The Autobots! They're these huge alien robots that turn into cars n' trucks n' stuff, and they're basically the coolest. Especially Bulkhead! He was supposed to look after me since they were in this huge war with some other giant alien robots and didn't want us to get squished, and he's just kinda the best in general.

[Can you tell she's excited about robots because oh boy she is excited about robots.]
