All right, I'm done pretending we're not collectively acting like a bunch of hippies at a weed convention. Yeah, the party is nice and all, but has anyone stopped to think about what the hell is happening here?

[The dancing, the partying, the getting sexy in public-to-barely-private locations. He's actually seen people relax who never, ever relax, and that might be the creepiest part.]

I'm just gonna say it. We've been drugged. And it feels like I'm the only one who's come down from it.

[Granted, this is way better than the last ~~two~~ times he was drugged, but it's still freaking him out.]

Look, if there's anyone out there who hasn't already told me 'oh Nate it's no big deal just have a drink and enjoy yourself,' please let me know. I talked to Thán, and if there's any hinky shit that anyone's noticed, we should bring it back to the Moira. Personally I think we should all go back to the beach and wait there, but I've given up on convincing people of that. I just want to figure out what's going on.

[ooc note: Nate is one of three crewmates to have suddenly become immune to the compulsion to party down. He's immediately come to the (possibly wrong) conclusion that they've all been drugged in some way, but per the mods, people still under the compulsion will not be less affected if he points out the weirdness and would just brush it off, so feel free to either assume this has happened (if your character knows Nate) or come exasperate him by doing so here! He would also be very happy to connect with anyone else who's become immune or never made it to the party to be affected.]

I didn't go to the party. I just hung out by the ship.

It's getting pretty weird out there, ah?

[He's feeling increasingly like maybe he shouldn't go check it out.]

Good plan. Stay there. And yeah, weird is one word for it. "Bacchanalia" is another.

I don't know what that word means. English is my third language.

But I'll take your advice, friend, and hang out here. Figure a little help around the area of the ship couldn't hurt anyway.

Just think the craziest party you've ever been to or heard of, with a bunch of people who don't usually party.

Help is good. The sooner we can get out of here, the better.

Yeah, I think I'm with you on this one.

Okay, so... all I've seen is people in pretty clothes and being over happy. How much of a good time are they having? Like drugged up levels of good time?

Like screwing in public [guilty], drinking like it's constantly last call [somewhat guilty] and not caring that we crash landed [guilty].

[Oh that doesn't sound good.]

Look, I know you don't know me from the man in the moon. I'm just some asshole. But my girlfriend went out there- she's been very depressed and had some bad shit happen to her at that outpost.

If you catch someone making out with her can you try to stop it? I normally wouldn't care. But if she's not in her right mind it'll hurt her worse later. Her name is Tali, she's purplish with three fingers on each hand, long black hair, white eyes.

Just ah... yeah. If you happen to see it.

I'd owe you one, and I'll do whatever I can for you over on this end anyway.

Tali--yeah, I've met her.

[Back at the bar, back on vacation planet. Nate doesn't know her well but she'd been kinda memorable.]

Sure. I'll keep an eye out, no problem.

Thanks. I don't want her feeling worse than she has been.

Hopefully no one does, after this.

Keep an eye out for yourself. And if you spot anything even weirder going on where you are, let me know?
