Who| Anyone who wants in
What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

"That would explain it." She hadn't had time to review this week's duty rosters. Someone brand new could have easily slipped under her radar, especially with how unwieldy the team was getting.

She glances down at the apple, then shakes her head. "Find a garbage disposal to drop it into." Too much training to refuse gifts and free offers, no matter what. It just didn't feel comfortable.

Anyhow, they were just meeting. "And you are? I'm Judge Beeny." Not the name she was using for this trip, but since 2B was a Legionnaire, well...

[grumpylady]

"2B." To anyone unfamiliar with YoRHa, the name would make little sense to them. Yet it was easier to use that instead of her full designation.

[thedreamisdead]

Okay. Wouldn't be the strangest name tossed her way. "America."

She pauses for a moment. Really, the question has to be asked. "How many people have misquoted Shakespeare at you so far?"

[grumpylady]

2B just stands there and looks at her.

"None so far. This is the first time I've heard of that name. Should I be aware of any special meaning to it?"

[thedreamisdead]

"He was a hack writer from... Long before either of our times, I'd say." She shrugs. "Wrote tragedies and comedies. One of the more famous quotes involves a man asking 'To be, or not to be' in an overlong monologue about whether he should suffer through life or kill himself and risk the unknowns that lie beyond death."

America shrugs. Brits. Must have been something in the water.
