[As far as interesting occurrences go, waking up with no memory of how he got there has never, in Ivan's experience, been a good thing. He's a bit past that point -- and past spending lots of energy freaking out over the fact that there's something growing out of his back as well -- by the time he figures out to look inside the notebook he sees. Reading what he finds gives him some notion of just how deep of a hole he seems to have fallen in, but at least everyone seems to be in the same position. And this Malnasso isn't a group he's heard of before. If keeping his head down is what he needs to do, then that's what he'll do.

Of course, keeping his head down doesn't always mean literally keeping his head down. Ivan knows that there can be just as much advantage to going, "Hey, look at me, I'm not a threat at all," as there can be to going entirely unnoticed. And he happens to think he's made the former into an art. And as far as these things go, he might as well meet the other abductees.]


Well, this is...

Hello everyone. I'm Ivan. [Cue a smile, it might not be be able to seen but he's pretty sure that it'll come through in his voice.]

I'm going to think that won't mean much to you yet, since none of you seem particularly familiar to me, but from what it sounds like we might have time to get to know each other. A few facts about me: I like parties, not getting shot at, and sleeping in late. And not having my body modified without my permission, [it's a little harder to make himself sound cheerful there, but he does his best,] but given the circumstances I'll settle for three out of four.

Your turn.

No point. Not even the Malnosso know how the wings appear. They come with the abduction, apparently.

...Why would aliens be political?

We'll find something, whether or not it's accurate. Either way it turns out, it could reveal something. Let's see what happens.

Apparently there's a vampire running about at night. Don't know how good you are with those.

It would reveal they're hiding something. You are related to Count Vorkosigan, aren't you?
vor: (More to say)

I assume the anthropologist I spoke with would be able to tell if the scans make sense.
deceases: (so i can hear you)

[personal profile] deceases 2012-08-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
So you've never seen a real one before, I take it.

...Man if you saw so. We've never even met aliens.

[He concedes the point with a nod. He realized before this that maybe not everyone here was the best at what they do, the way everyone around him is at home. That some might not even be competent...]

...I never thought I'd miss being a prisoner of ImpSec. [He leans back, looking thoughtfully at Ivan.] Have you eaten?

Division paths? What, people got some kinda maps messing them up in space they can't get the math right for?
deceases: (because low man is due)

[personal profile] deceases 2012-08-14 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should at least know that there's plenty of real ones here. The same counts for the world I come from, so I'm actually used to seeing them around by now.

Pretty much. There's some kind of science thing...some wacked out issue with people not handling being taken or something, but it's all jacked up as far as I can tell.

As for training...[she gives a short, humorless laugh] Since when do people ever act smart?
vor: (Say what?)

...I don't know what those are.
