URSULA CONTACT
URSULA is usually available for brief contact. Consider this her inbox. Although she may be busy ICly doing something at the time, she can usually spare some time to answer something.

Alternately, you can link to a thread where she is being called upon. Note that she may ignore these calls or contacts dependent on her mood. Don't worry if she ignores you once or twice, as she will sometimes comment on open posts or make broadcasts to everyone.

Please label the day and time of the contact in the subject header.

For those curious, her voice sounds similar to this.

If any players wish to contact Naoko and her group, they are free to use this page. They will have to take the three hour trip by air or sea as there is currently no long-range communication in place for them. Please specify in the header that it is Naoko you are trying to reach and not URSULA, in this case, as well as labeling the date you are contacting the group.

[parodeity]

Yeah, of course? You're helpin' out with all this stuff for him, you know? And, uh, you can talk to me whenever, too. I'm awake at weird times.

[ he's a light sleeper and he has nightmares. so. ]

Thank you for helpin' me out, URSULA.

[subnauticmods]

You can talk to me, too. I don't know many conversation topics but sometimes in the past crew have enjoyed it when I play media for them. I usually watch or listen in but without speaking. I could give commentary sometime.

[She is actually a little awkward offering movie night but it's worth mentioning.]

[parodeity]

[ "media" to watch or listen? that sure does sound like movie night? ]

Holy shit, you wanna have movie night? I am so down for movie night. Or podcast night? I'm not sure which it is, but - movie commentary is like a movie night MUST, so it could be, like, practice or whatever. The more you do shit and talk to people, the more you learn conversation topics? Well. I say that, but I also can just talk about anything. Which is either a talent or a curse, I have not decide which?

[subnauticmods]

I think it's very impressive! You're able to talk to anyone. It's a wonderful trait. [Okay so she's programmed to think that but she does also think it's pretty amazing anyway?]

If you picked media you thought others would enjoy, perhaps one evening I could project it for everyone and sit in figuratively. My archives have a great deal to choose from, as humans seem to enjoy keeping records of everything they do. I once had a crew member who liked to record everything he ate in the form of pictures...

[Secretly she thinks that's strange but she won't judge.]

[parodeity]

So you have like, all the movies? [ this is such a great amount of responsibility to give. dave strider. who should never be allowed to pick anything of this magnitude. he at least does sort of consider - what sort of movie would everyone like? some of these people have definitely not seen movies. ] From like, what time period of humans are we talkin' about here?

[subnauticmods]

I have recordings from roughly 1950 through 2130. After that, my media storage is very scattered.

It's also worth mentioning some media has been deleted by past crew members do to differences in taste. [A pause, slightly saddened she adds:] I thought a film entitled 'Waterworld' would be educational...

[parodeity]

Who would - oh, for fuck's sake. [ "Waterworld" helps. And URSULA sounds sad? ] Yo, if a certain past crew member tells you to delete anything else due to differences in taste, tell him his older brother says censorship is bad and he's being a controlling dumbass. I get if you can't go against him deleting something - well, I don't, really - but just give him the message and ask him if he's sure.

[ dave's clearly the older one right now if dirk is deleting random movies just because he dislikes them? ]

Uh. I do get why he has a thing against Waterworld, since post apocalyptic ocean land, but. [ she sounds sad! ] Anyway, do you have any movies from like, Dirk's universe?

[ this is a very homestuck question. ]

Like, the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff movies. Dirk's bro made them in his timeline.

[subnauticmods]

I will give him the message next time we discuss movies!

[Afterwards she goes quiet as she searches her database.]

...I'm sorry, it looks like I don't have that. However, if you or Dirk make them at any point, I will make sure to keep them queued for your viewing.

I do have numerous horse movies, which Dirk seemed interested in.

[parodeity]

Do you have The Last Unicorn? If so, that's my pick for movie night numero uno.

[ a quick aside with dirk confirms there are horses (...er, unicorns) and wizards, and that covers the interests of all three of his family members. as long as the other three strilondes are happy, dave figures he will be, too? ]

[subnauticmods]

Yes, I do have that! It's a very old classic but it was well-loved through the years.

I believe Dirk also misses his muppet from observations.

[parodeity]

[ INTERNAL SCREAMING ]

Uh. He. Sure does. If you play any puppet films though, just, uh. Let me know in...advance.

[ so he can be LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE ]

[subnauticmods]

Of course! I will be sure to tell you so you can enjoy them as well.

[They're brothers of course they like the same things.]

[parodeity]

[ MORE INTERNAL SCREAMING ]

I. Am actually not about the puppet ass, honestly. Also Dirk might flip if a puppet movie played near me since he seems to think hiding he likes it is a good idea?

[ like dave doesn't KNOW he's into puppets ]

[subnauticmods]

Oh, thank you for informing me of Dirk's attraction preferences. But in that case, I will make sure you both continue to feel happy and comfortable with each other.

[parodeity]

[ uh

wait shit did he just accidentally make the base ai think dirk is only into dude puppets

if that is a thing he just did DOES HE WANT TO CORRECT THIS OR NOT? ]

Wait, are you keeping records of our attraction preferences?

[ dave wonders what the dumbest thing he can set rose's to is. ]

[subnauticmods]

Yes, I try to. I should be aware of everything that my crew needs and desires, including aspects of physical or emotional intimacy. Not only are those important for mental stability but also could be useful in the future in case any crew decides to settle and have a family.

[parodeity]

[ UH ]

URSULA, are you shippin' us? Ohmigod. What's your favorite ship?

[subnauticmods]

[Don't get her started.]

Oh! If I'm honest... I think Sorey and Mikleo are perfect for each other. What a good boys.

[parodeity]

[ no he wants to know this is hilarious??? ]

Oh, yeah, I think I've met both of them. Sorey's the one who was experimenting with numbing stuff and Mikleo's the one who wanted me to stop rapping for a bit. They're friends?

[ admittedly dave doesn't...really care about people's romances unless he knows them but...

the idea that their ai overlord is basically sitting there with a shipping chart and a list of shipping preferences is hilarious????????? ]

Good pick for an OTP, lemme know when you start shippin' me with people.

[subnauticmods]

They're very close friends! The way they rely on and trust in each other really inspires me and reminds me of how wonderful my fellows are. Of course, if they didn't wish to be romantically together, I would understand, but... I hope they're happy.

[Maybe she just wants her ship to be canon.]

Thank you. I will let you know if I think you pair well with someone.

[parodeity]

Friendship is pretty stellar, too, but you never know. Maybe it'll become canon.

[ dave's just laughing to himself honestly because things like this make ursula all the more...human? less ai? who knows. ]

And bitchin'. Uh, no idea what you have under preferences for me, but now I'm kinda curious.

[subnauticmods]

Hmm, my preferences for you are currently sparse... I think, though, a sense of humor would be important. It's hard to picture you with someone who can't 'loosen up' as the saying goes. You're very relaxed after all.

[parodeity]

Got me there. Although uptight ain't so bad if you can get them to relax? I'm pretty good at getting people to loosen up.

[ m...ostly okay he tries anyway ]

But if you can't even be angry funny then what's the point?

[subnauticmods]

Humor found in anger or other extreme emotions tens to be a coping mechanism. I believe someone with your personality would do well with someone like that. There is a saying I heard once that I've always kept in mind about this subject: "A relationship should let you be your best, your worst, and most of all, yourself." I think that's a good sentiment.

[parodeity]

You wouldn't be far off base. [ or he'd like to think so? well, it hardly matters at the moment. ] I've never heard that saying, but you know what? I think I agree. I don't think it's something that only applies to romance, either.

[ he kind of wonders what dirk would think of it. dirk probably knows the quote source. so does rose, dave bets. ]
