Beam me up

[thespaceopera]

[The weekly Shuffle doesn't happen quite as it should. No new passengers appear on the ships, and no message is sent in from the hosts. The usual day comes and goes without a stir.

And then, on the second day, another one of those surges of static comes in over the speakers, breaking apart for a voice in the background. It's Diamond, and she sounds too far away from the receiver. She also doesn't sound quite like herself-- her tone flat and cold. Disappointed.]

--I know. I can't. [A pause of empty air, before a short, decisive sigh.] ...Yes. Bring them in.

[A blip of lost time passes right after those words, before every passenger mysteriously wakes alone in their own unfamiliar room. They have never seen this room before, but those familiar with the Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva might recognize the style of decor. It sounds and smells the same as the host ship as well--clean and chrome--but this set of rooms have never been ventured into before.

Welcome back to the Marsiva, dear passengers.]

ALLEN WALKER; Audio

[save_the_souls]

[The moment he finds his communicator in his room, there's an audio message.]

Tell me if you're alright.

[he doesn't bother to filter or specify who- his friends and crew know his voice and he does care if anyone in the fleet is getting hurt. Meanwhile as soon as he does that, he's moving. If he's learned one thing about waking up in strange places, the faster he learns what's going on? The better.]

Audio

[forsometimenow]

I'm here, Allen. I don't suppose you know what's going on, either?

Audio

[save_the_souls]

Jennifer-

[Whew. That's 1 down.]

No, I don't. Did you wake up in a strange room as well?

audio

[dancingmd]

[Hearing Allen's voice is an immense relief. If he's here, surely the others are as well.]

Crusher, here. [It's always easier to default to her training, in a situation like this.] I am uninjured, but I just woke up. Have you heard from the rest of the crew?

audio

[save_the_souls]

[He meanwhile sticks to a bit more informal- largely out of stress. Even if he's used to these situations, it doesn't mean he likes it.]

Beverly- thank goodness.

And no. Not yet. You're the first so far.

Audio

[onlyanapple]

I'm fine. I wondered when the waking up in weird surroundings bullshit would start. Took longer than I expected.

Not dead or crazy yet?

[Look, he cares.]

Audio

[save_the_souls]

I was hoping we were done with that myself.

[So much for that. And aw you do care.]

I'm fine. Just a little cold.

Audio

[alwayscomeback]

I'm fine but...this is new and weird. I'm gonna see if I can get anything out of our hosts.

[Because he's been spoiling to talk to them since he got here. ]

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Audio

[save_the_souls]

You found a way to talk to Atroma?

[He hadn't figured that thing out yet]

[delincuente]

Like physically, or emotionally?

[She sounds mad.]

[save_the_souls]

[Yeah he can't blame her for that]

...Physically. No one's alright emotionally right now, I think.

Did you wake up in a strange room too?

[ino]

[ She doesn't exactly sound great -- pissed off and a little freaked out, mostly -- but she answers ]

Yeah. You?

[ She isn't really MENTALLY alright, but she's physically alright, and that's probably what's important right now ]

[save_the_souls]

I'm fine. Just a little cold.

[yeah he can't...blame the mental part really]

Did you wake up in a room too?

audio;

[geonomy]

I'm... fine?

[You can just hear the ??????????? in his voice.]

audio;

[save_the_souls]

Clay- [Yeah okay he feels a little relief now that he hears that voice along with the others. But...yeah. Picking up the ?????? in his voice. yeah. He guesses it's bewildering for anyone who does this the first time.]

I suppose you woke up in a strange bedroom too.

audio

[stefanged]

As fine as I'll ever be. [Stefan lets out a sigh, though there's relief in his voice too.]

How're you holding up, Allen?

audio

[save_the_souls]

Stefan- good to hear from you.

[Another off the list.]

I'm fine, just cold. Any idea where we are?

[limitstorm]

[ he debates on answering this, but he ultimately does. ]

I dunno if I'd say 'alright', but I don't think anyone's hurt.

[save_the_souls]

Riku- [oh good the cook is safe!!] It's good to hear from you.

Did you wake up in a strange bedroom too?

[experiencepoints]

This is Nightingale. I'm fine.

[She assumes they haven't talked enough for him to know her voice by now...]

I can't say how long it'll stay that way, though.

[save_the_souls]

Ah- that's good to hear.

[Another person off the list!]

...I know. I'm a little worried about that too.

audio;

[zekken]

Hey, Mister Walker. I'm alright. Hope you're the same way.

audio;

[save_the_souls]

Yuuki, it's good to hear from you.

[And of course since she's a kid and he doesn't know her that well, he'll hold back on any saltiness he feels]

I'm fine. Just a little cold.

Audio

[honorbends]

[ HAVE THE WORLD'S DRYEST TONE ]

I'm great.

[ there is an odd hissing sound

is zuko trying to melt through a wall

maybe ]

Audio...

[bolder]

[It's a little longer than normal before Toph replies. When she does, she's pretty relaxed sounding. For whatever reason.]

Psh, I'm fine. [And there's a loud CREAK sound and a small chuckle.] The doors, on the other hand...
