[At a glance, Nate doesn't seem too perturbed for a recently spirited away from home guy who never expected to go into the upper atmosphere of Earth, much less make it to the far reaches of space. Either he's extremely adaptable or he's great at putting up a front. Then again, why can't it be both?]
This is where we all share a little about ourselves, right? [He raises a hand in a casual wave. Those who have met Nate since his arrival might notice that he is now wearing a wedding ring.] My name's Nathan Drake, my hobbies include climbing and digging into the really dusty parts of the library, and I don't actually like long walks on the beach that much. Which I wouldn't have thought would be an issue since, you know. Space. But then we went to Vacation Planet.
[The cheerful expression of an amiable wiseass slips a little, revealing something closer to wonderment.]
I've gotta tell you, when I boarded my plane home, I didn't expect to end up outside of the solar system. So far, space isn't what I would have pictured. But the view on the observation deck, wow—it's pretty out of this world.
[He chuckles at his own pun, because he's the kind of person who does that.]
Can't say coming here would have been my first choice of next career moves, but I can think of worse places to be. Anyway, good to meet everyone, or at least talk at you. [He shrugs.] Close enough.
[action for nomo #013; this is the first time Nate's returned to the ship since going down to spend a few days in the lap of luxury, and he's brought a few things with him. His area of the room isn't messy yet, possibly because he just doesn't have that much stuff yet, but there are a few packages stacked on his bunk. Nate himself is sitting on the couch, flipping through his journal when he's not playing with the MID.]

Of course I didn't TRY. But I HAVE used guns on ships before. Not a single problem.
text;
ok. i'll keep that in mind in case space santa brings me a gun for christmas this year. i've been a good boy.

We have an armoury on board. Maybe if you're really good, you can get something out of there to protect yourself.
[ Look, he'll keep the sarcasm battle going alllll day if he has to. ]
text;
is it like a library or do we have to pay money for a piece
text;
There's no currency system in place here. I know you have to make an appointment to get in, but other than that I'm not sure. I was smart enough to bring my own weapons.
text;
okay i'll give that a try thanks. [The thanks is sincere, but] you're full of shit if you expect me to believe you knew you were going to get space kidnapped though
text;
I didn't know, but I like to be prepared for anything. Weapons around at all times usually has you covered if ridiculous circumstances come up. Like space kidnappings.
text;
fair point. not sure it would have made a difference for me but i might feel better.
text;
I'd say that's making a difference, but whatever. Easier to "feel better" around here if you know you can defend yourself. But you'll figure that out once we're not surrounded by beaches and spas.
text;
i've been in shootouts before this isn't my first space rodeo. of course it's better if you can defend yourself, i knew that way before vacation planet
text;
Not saying you didn't. Just saying you want to be ready to do so at any time around here. This place is almost in a constant state of danger. I don't even trust that the vacation planet will stay pleasant the entire month.
