[ technically, andyr's been here for over a year, and still not properly addressed the network wholesale, as most do within their first week or so. in real time, time he can actually remember, it's been more like four months, but either way, he's only been around on the MIDs when jumping into other posts, yet to actually introduce himself, hermit of a vent crawling stalker that he's been.

and guess what, this still isn't introducing himself. instead, it's some odd wooden token that he's holding up to the camera, two snakes intertwined on it. ]

This showed up in my mailbox. Belong to anyone?

[ please tell him he just ended up with someone else's mail by accident, as otherwise this just feels creepy as all fuck. ]

Or anyone recognize it? Does crap like this happen a lot? [ andyr sighs, flipping the token over in his hand, lips pressed in a line as he frowns at it, muttering under his breath. ] Don't want none of this freaky, voodoo shit.

[ Her eyebrows knit together as she eyes the token. ]

Maybe it's currency on some planet. Maybe on some world you just struck it rich.

[ That's the optimistic way of thinking of it. She can't help but think there might be 'freaky, voodoo shit' involved, especially now that Andyr mentioned it. Of course she's not going to mention it. That would just be mean. ]

Or it could be good at warding off moths. Does it smell like cedar?

[deconstruct]

I don't know anyone that'd be that interested in me being rich.

[ considering he isn't even that interested in being rich, why would someone else care? but who knows, maybe. at the moth comment, andyr's brows arch a bit, before he glances at the coin against suspicious, and gently... takes a sniff. ]

Uh. No, just smells like wood.

[curiousnotmalicious]

Hmmm... Well, there goes the moth chip theory.

[ Well, isn't this a puzzle? And she does like puzzles. She scratches her eyebrow as she thinks it over. ]

Do anything nice for anybody lately? They could be paying you back for a favor.

Re: video

[deconstruct]

Uh.

[ doing... nice things for people... what is that... ]

Nah, doubt it.

[ dutch, you are one of the few, the proud, the people he's actually decent to. ]

[curiousnotmalicious]

[ There's a light in her eyes as another possibility occurs to her. ]

Maybe it's not for you! Human error! They could have gotten the wrong mailbox.

[ She smiles as if she's really pleased with this answer. ]

Why would you have mail that isn't yours?

[deconstruct]

a month or so back someone i know ended up getting a book i had back home in the mail. told me it just showed up in his mailbox.

[culver]

I did not even know we could get mail in space.

[deconstruct]

yeah, comes through the ingress. weird shit. i got a fuck ton of fish and tanks a while back through it. no idea why.

[voice]

[ryuuzaki]

It's not familiar to you in any way?

You should document it as much as possible. It came from the Ingress... it could mean something in the future.

[voice]

[deconstruct]

Never seen it in my life.

Document it how? It's just a little wooden circle with snakes on it. Not a lot to it. [ there's a reason he was mostly just coffee fetcher for the ingress journal party. ]

[ryuuzaki]

Well, the images you've shown us here are a start. Someone in engineering or medical might be willing to get precise measurements for you.

It's probably irrelevant now, unless it properly belongs to someone else or is something you might see in your own future, but if it isn't one of those, it could turn out to be relevant later. Intertwined snakes are a caduceus, the staff of Hermes... but more to the point, we're historically unpopular with people who call themselves the Caducans. I'd see more of a connection if the coin were made of glass, but even so....

[OOC: let's just assume that this specific comment is chronologically before Adrien says anything! L can be wrong and paranoid, hehe.]

[deconstruct]

[ ooc; cool with me! ]

I can’t just get a ruler and do measurements myself? [ engineering and medical are the two places he hates the most on the ship, so the more time he can get away from them, the better. ]

See in my own future? What’s that mean? The Caducans were the ones that made the stained glass in the mess hall, right?

[deadthing]

It looks like the kind of thing my friend collects. [Something from one of Gansey's many boxes of trinkets.]

Not like... a specific one though. I don't know what it means.

voice

[deconstruct]

Is that friend here?

[ 'look kind of like' is better than nothing, he'll take it. ]

[deadthing]

No. [He sighs.] Sorry, I know that's not very helpful.

[deconstruct]

[ it takes a moment for andyr to get back to him, as he pauses to get this figured out with adrien. ]

It's ok. Found the guy it belongs to. You here by yourself?

[prorenataa]

[ The round of cursing he'd done when he saw this meant that he was late on actually doing something useful; like responding to Andyr. ]

1/2 - It's mine.

2/2 - Where can I come and get it from you.

text

[deconstruct]

thank fuck

[ so glad it wasn't just some random thing that the ingress spat out to be creepy, thank you, adrien ]

i can bring it to the medbay?

[prorenataa]

Yes.

[ Sorry for the lack of ... well, words to be honest, Andyr but there is something of a small scale chaos happening on the ship.

On two fronts.

And now this damn coin. The Ingress hates him. ]

I'm in Lab 1.

[deconstruct]

ok. 5 minutes.

[ the coin isn't his and he has zero reason to hold onto it, so may as well take it now.

about 5 minutes later, andyr will be slipping through the Lab 1 door, token in hand. ]

Hey. Got your coin thing.

voice;

[kidjoy]

Just looks like somethin' somebody carved. Kinda pretty, actually. Why are ya callin' it freaky?

voice;

[deconstruct]

The snakes, I guess. And it showing up outta nowhere. I dunno, just creeps me out.

voice;

[kidjoy]

You don't like snakes? Lots of stuff just shows up 'round here. This place is weird.

voice;

[deconstruct]

Not especially, no. Do you?
