another +1 mecha pilot

[wentnuclear]

Hi everyone! I'm Ana, and I'm bringing in Raleigh Becket from Pacific Rim. He's also a PPDC Ranger, which as my lovely castmate mentioned means he fights alien monsters in a giant robot. It is absolutely as epic as it sounds. He's exceptionally brave and caring but also impulsive and headstrong, which is sometimes a disastrous combination of traits but he's always doing his best, okay? Please bear with him, especially since he's spent the past five years actively isolating himself from the world after his brother died in his head and is sort of still relearning how to people. He's a huge geek for war history and foreign languages, exercises way too much, and is afraid of spiders. Hopefully there are no spiders in outerspace.

Raleigh will be waking up in the gym on deck 4, if anyone wants to be confused and distressed together. You can hit me up on plurk at cuddlebug or discord at Ana#1461 anytime!

courteously doesn't tell him about the giant spiders that live on the moon :)

[wentnuclear]

NO THANK YOU that's gonna be a hard pass on giant moon spiders

But they can talk about plenty of other things!

[oddbod]

then she'll probably just keep the giant moon crabs to herself too

and yes!! similarly aged sci fi protag friend group, please

[wentnuclear]

Why are there crabs if there's no water... I say, as if spiders could live without water either shhhh.

[oddbod]

oh because they feed off of people’s brains, it’s all a blast

[wentnuclear]

There are no people on the moon either. Or is this long distance telepathic brain eating? Crabs fire brain eating psychic death rays down to Earth.

Oh my god why am I trying to figure out the mechanics of giant brain eating moon crabs...

[oddbod]

WELL OKAY technically the crabs were just making people think they were on the moon while they ate their brains slowly in their sleep but who's counting, Doctor Who is a weird canon okay

[wentnuclear]

That sounds easier but I like my psychic death ray crabs too.

Haha it is very weird, I tried watching New Who like a decade ago and it was a bit out there even for me. I'm intrigued by Clara tho, I never got up to her!

[oddbod]

lol she's just your typical schoolteacher with control issues and a death wish, super stable and not scary at all, I'm sure she'll get along great with everyone

[wentnuclear]

/totally convinced!!!

That icon is very worrying, Alex.

[rehabbed]

[wentnuclear]

Jesse plz chill. Get a massage. Take a bubble bath. Join Raleigh in working out until you collapse, but take it down a dozen notches before you have an aneurysm.
