Tripper Hunt has Landed!

Hello Tripper!

Tripper(T): “Hello!”

How are you doing?

T: “Pretty good, just talking with a disinbodied voice I guess… Just had lunch.”

Where are you right now?

T: “I’m on the Seacat, our boat. I guess its also kind of my house too? I mean I’ve been living on it for a year now.”

So, I have a few questions to get to know you better.

T: “Sure”

This one is a little bland, they get more intriguing as we go along. Its an icebreaker of sorts: What would your perfect room look like?

T: “Oh, well, I hate to be bland in return but pretty much what I already have. My room is just stocked full of trinkets and doodads. Little things I found on the ocean floor, floating around, on enemies, and in island markets. There is a map of Home over my headboard with a string that shows where we’ve gone. I love this one painting I bought in a town near the Wood, it shows a cherry treedweller in a beautiful robe sashaying her way through a grove.  It’s all I dreamed of when I imagined the room I’d have.”

This one is a bit more intense, What would you do if you knew you were going to die in one hour?

T: “Oooph, I’ve had the dying thoughts before. When you get stabbed there is a surprising amount of thinking time before you black out.  That time, well it was when my crew had been kidnapped. I was completely irrational. Insane really. I got struck down and as I bled I just couldn’t stop thinking about how inline this was, dying alone. How I would go easy if only there was someone with me. Then there was suddenly Scral with me. So yeah, I’d just be with my family. We’d snuggle on some hill somewhere and I’d just drift away to Elnos.”

Sounds peaceful. If you could make a 20 second phone call to yourself at any point in your life present or future, when would you call and what would you say?

T: ‘I know this one, absolutely right after my parents left for the second time, just “It’ll be fine”. I really needed that from someone in some form. Nobody but us knew and my sis was too heartbroken to offer that to me.“

One last one; In your group of friends, what role do you play?

T: "Ah, we have ascended in tone.”

So we have.

T: “People who look in the papers would probably assume I am the leader, the brave pioneer who brings my crew through storms of every form. My crew would laugh their tails off. Not that I am a coward or anything but I certainly am not the infallible savior most seem to think. Until I got trained by the raindwellers I was absolutely clueless in battle. My sis shouldered most of the adult responsibilities back on Earth so I am kind of useless with ledger keeping and a lot of the other skills needed for life by sail. Cirrus once said this and I think is the right answer for this question, “You’re not the spear, you’re the string that holds us together.”

Who’s the spear you think?

T: "I think it would fit all three of them, a three tipped spear, huh. I need to draw that! That might make a good flag!”

*Tripper dashes off*

…I guess that’s the end of the questions
