Twelfth Cycle - Season Premier!

[Everything is quite dark as the passengers regain consciousness, with little lights and panels on the walls just now beginning to wink to life. It seems as though everyone and their new homes are rising from slumber together. Even the air is sleepy, and it tastes stale--it must have been a long time since it's been anywhere other than recycled endlessly through this space.

And for a few minutes, the only sounds that aren't coming from the passengers themselves is the omnipresent hum of electrical and mechanical parts surrounding them on every side, and the occasional scratch of vermin-feet in the walls. Then, regardless of where each passenger wakes in their ship, a short musical tune and an exuberant female voice crackles to life over speaker panels in every room.]


--Good morning, honored passengers! My name is Diamond, and on behalf of Atroma and our entire audience, congratulations on being selected to participate in the twelfth cycle of Drift Fleet! We are all eager to get to know you, and I just know you must all be eager to get started, so let's get right to it!

[And with that, whoever happens to be on the bridge of their ship at the time will be treated to watching the solid panels slide away from the windows, revealing infinite black and uncountable stars... and whether or not they've ever been capable of comprehending the concept before, they immediately recognize outer space.]

In a few minutes, the HS Marsiva will come into view through the windows to my left. Please familiarize yourself with her presence.

For more information on your new roles, and of the Drift Fleet itself, please refer to the helpful information files already uploaded to the network. And from here on out, it shall be up to you to refer new cremates to these information files and to make sure that their stays on your crews are pleasant and rewarding!

...Also--speaking of your new responsibilities as crewmembers--I expect captain forms to be filled out and submitted by the end of the week.

[The smile practically drips from her voice at that last point, and there's a little pause before she continues]

And finally-- we won't be approaching our first system for a few days yet, so you are all encouraged to get to know each other and enjoy the ride in the meantime.

Welcome to Drift Fleet, and remember... the worlds are watching!

[and the voice cuts out, but the lines are still open. the network is live and listening.]



((ooc: the Fleet is now live! dive in and tag around! it's a good idea to put whether or not your thread is open to the network, and what ship you're on, in the subject of your reply. to see who is on which crew, please refer to this sheet! have fun!))

[A certain someone who bears a strong resemblance to someone else is sitting up in his bunk, head still ringing with the announcement. Most notably, he's wearing a t-shirt that has the words NOT TYKI helpfully emblazoned on the front and back but, you know, t-shirts can say whatever they want, right?]

What is this...

((OOC: stats/permissions for this OC who is definitely not Tyki. yes. definitely.))
save_the_souls: (and it's eating my arm no)

[Yeah sorry, quick reading comprehension was never Allen's strong suit when there's a Noah look alike around. In fact, Allen goes from confused and concerned to the situation- to bewildered and defensive real quick the moment he sees this guy]

You can't be serious...!

Tyki?!

[ARGH HE DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH NOAHS IN SPACE]
jarredforlife: (you're joking right)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-05 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, another Allen Walker. Time to summon up his best reassuring face and put his fears at rest.]

No.
save_the_souls: (wtf gtfo Tyki!)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-05 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that makes him halt a second- because wtf Tyki did you just tell him no??]

No?

No what?

[points to the "Not" on his shirt

points to the "Tyki" beneath it]

I'm not Tyki. It's okay; people have made that mistake before.
save_the_souls: (jfc on a moped)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-05 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[A pause as he stares]


......Enough that you made a shirt?

[Wow that's...a little extreme man. But it doesn't seem like this guy is lying...so...]

Alright...if you aren't Tyki, who are you?
jarredforlife: (can I go now)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-05 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd make a shirt too if you were in a place with this face and three Tykis...

Anyway, I'm Barakiel. Nice to meet you, Allen Walker.
save_the_souls: (stop being happy we're enemies Tyki)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-05 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...Three of them?

[The look on his face says it all. He is horrified at the idea there could be more than one. And that this poor guy had to endure that. But once that looks passes, he'll try to look a bit more friendly]

I'm sorry for the mix up then, Barakiel. It's nice to meet you too - even under these circumstances.
jarredforlife: (oh you)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-05 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[What a face...]

Yeah. They mostly left me alone though.
save_the_souls: (watching)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-05 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...something, at least. I can't even imagine...

[It definitely sounds like hell to him]

Where was this place, exactly?
jarredforlife: (can I go now)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-05 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...it was called Court... There were a couple Allens there, too.
save_the_souls: (all the little pieces)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-06 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Couple of-

[Now that makes him frown. While he knows full well multiple versions of a person can exist, it doesn't sit well with him when it came to himself. Like he was some sort of copy]

But I'm Allen.

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. But there were other versions of you there. Like the three versions of Tyki.
save_the_souls: (...I'm gonna hide under you Tim kk?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-06 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[....]

I think I'll try not to think about it too much.

[And with that, he's changing the subject]

Do you have any idea what's going on?
jarredforlife: (can I go now)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-07 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Only what was on the broadcast.
save_the_souls: (hmmm!)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2014-10-07 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... [He frowns]

She mentioned something about information files, I'm going to go see if I can find those.

[And he's turning to go. This is a weird conversation man]
jarredforlife: (paying attention)

[personal profile] jarredforlife 2014-10-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Good idea.

[follows after :v]
