magic anons you this fella

(he has a squeaker)

What a strange little creature. I'll put on one of the shelves in the broadcasting room with the other trinkets people have given me.

[radio-nowhere]

Why's it called Radio Nowhere?

Honestly? I was barely more than a kid when I started it, and I thought it sounded cool. There's no more story to it than that.

[radio-nowhere]

Do you play an instrument?

Sadly not. I can sing, a little bit, but I never learned to play anything. Maybe I should.

[radio-nowhere]

What's the worst lie you've ever told?

I—I don't think I lie much. Never really got in the habit of it. I used to lie to law enforcement quite a bit, but I don't consider any of that to be "bad". Not when the law enforcement is like that.

[radio-nowhere]

What's your favorite genre of music?

I like all of them. Except the ones that remind me of my time in the City. Those ones make me sad.

[radio-nowhere]

And a package for you in return! It's about the size of a card deck, if a card deck was larger than an overgrown watermelon. Do be careful with it-- it was making some odd noises when moved.

Ah, that'd be Kaylee. Not her in the box, of course, but her sending me peculiar objects from her travels. What a strange contraption. Thank you for delivering it.

[radio-nowhere]

Glad not to be the bearer of bad news. Enjoy your frog.

Package for you!

...No, I don't know what it is, who sent it, or why I was entrusted with delivering it. But here it is, it has your name on it, it's a plain cardboard box about the size of a shoebox, and I can't actually deliver it because I don't have your temporal and dimensional travel capabilities. Do you mind coming over here and picking it up?

It has my name on it??

If it has an actual name on it, run like hell, that’s absolutely a trap. There’s only one person out there who knows my name, and if he’s playing silly buggers, I’m going to go back to the assassination attempts. Again.

If it just says something like “for the mailman”, I’ll be by soon. Thanks!

[radio-nowhere]

It had better not be from an enemy of yours. The Station is neutral ground, I am firmly against participating in any conflict, whether it's between warring nations or two immortals with mysterious pasts. If he is pulling me and my crew into your conflict, I will not be pleased with him.

It doesn't have your name on it. But it says "to the mailman", and every time I look at my mind is inexplicably drawn to the thought of you. There seems to be some manner of return address, or the name of a sender, but it's not in a language I speak. It appeared here early this morning, seemingly out of nowhere. I hope it's good mail.

[radio-nowhere]

Oh, good taste. Do you have a least favorite song?

I don't think so. I don't spend much time thinking about the music that I don't like.

[radio-nowhere]

What’s your favorite song right now?

Farewell Wanderlust by The Amazing Devil

[radio-nowhere]

How’d you end up with your crew?

Picked them up 'round and about. I've a habit of taking in anyone who needs refuge and letting them stay on the Station for as long as they need, some of them ended up deciding to join my permanently.

[radio-nowhere]

What do you think about Lethe?

I. I like rem a lot.

[radio-nowhere]

Do you have a favorite show you’ve ever done?

To be honest, I don't usually keep track of them. But I always enjoy it when Lethe joins me for a broadcast.

[radio-nowhere]

I am not aware of ever having died, no.

Radio hosts are killed at the end of every day and replaced by exact clones the next day, that's why they are so fascinated and entertained by basic things

[radio-nowhere]

That sounds like a lovely place. You'll have to take me there sometime, I should rather like to see these plants for myself. And of course I'll never say no to exploring a new society.

Say, did I tell you about the moon I visited a few months back where the entire ecosystem was made up of moss, cascading down the basalt and covering the surface so thoroughly that it looked green even from the planet below? It was beautiful.

Oh, I'm getting distracted again.

Hello, listeners. I'm currently here for a very special broadcast with my dear friend Lethe Rivers, who has agreed to come on the show to tell us about res adventures.

Lethe, where would you like to begin?

- @radio-nowhere

hey, aster. always good to be onne show. eh, 'pologies, listeners, my voicebox is a little worn, and i've yet to find someone 'at can fix it, so you're getting more of an accent 'an i usually have.

in my time after leaving labyrinff, i've been a good deal of places, known and not. i like touching on more obscure destinations, but i know folks'll wanna hear updates onne most popular tourist spots.

so, let's start wiff a lightning round, eh?

zantine's finally getting its hold on a new government system after cole was taken town. ovver planets inne area are goin' back to 'eir systems from before 'at asswipe of a king, to varying degrees of success. would recommend zantine over 'he rest of 'at system, 'ough i'd wait till one of 'eir freedom festivals, 'ey do a week-long fing every decade.

cyberia is in much worse shape as far as post-rebellion goes. last i heard 'eir servers were attacked, so god knows if 'ere's still even a population 'ere.

earff, despite its moon being gone, has a fair few groups who've adapted. mostly folks settled inne impact craters left behind, and a few city complexes onne water. real neat set-up 'ere.

[radio-nowhere]

Your voice sounds perfectly nice to me. Though if you need, Jamie may be able to take a look at it while you're here.

Excellent news on Zantine, I've been following that situation for a while hoping for things to start looking up. Old friend of mine is an envoy there, but I haven't heard from her lately. And to hear that the Earthers are adapting is wonderful, though not surprising. They've always been hard to perish down there.

Humans are resilient, I expect Cyberia had at least a scattered handful of survivors. It saddens me to hear of their loss, but perhaps I'll direct the ship towards Cyberian starspace and see what I can do.

In lighter news, why don't you tell us about your favorite place you've spent time lately?
