At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]

[Allen pulls up a chair next to him and sits down. He's been feeling better the past couple days, and he's starting to look so too. As such, it's time to check up on the crew- starting with Sokka]

What are you working on?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka turns his head and offers a smile. ]

Hey, you're looking a little better.

[He taps the paper. ]

I'm trying to figure out the right questions to ask Beau and Diamond if they show up again. I need to know where the people who vanish from here go, seen as it doesn't look like it's home.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll return the smile] Thanks...I've been feeling better.

[He leans forward at the paper, trying to read it]

Oh yeah? What did they say before when you asked?

[alwayscomeback]

Glad to hear it. I was worried.

[He exhales. ]

That they were 'safe' and that you hid 'some movie magic behind the curtains'. I always assumed they went home, I mean... I've seen them home. But if that's not the case where are they and why do I remember seeing them at home?

[save_the_souls]

Mm. Sorry to have worried you.

[But moving on, that gets a concerned look]

Safe and movie magic behind the curtains...? [Yeah. That's not good] That doesn't make sense. If you saw them back in your world, they should be back there.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka casts him a smile that says it's FINE, he's supposed to worry, it's his JOB. Be that needs no words, and after the smile is cast, he goes back to the notes.]

That's what I thought. I mean...it could be possible they're false memories? But I've aged not trying to rub salt in the wound or anything so I...don't get it.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a dismissive wave of his hand at Sokka's mumbles. It's fine, he knows what you mean bro. ]

Yeah, I don't get it either. Why would they bother fabricating so many false memories anyway?

Maybe...you're all from different versions of your world?

[alwayscomeback]

Maybe? But all our stories line up right. Surely there'd be some variation if they were different.

[He exhales, staring at his notes. ]

It's like...I know there's an answer here, but I just can't find it.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah, you'd think so...

[He slumps his shoulders a little as he thinks]

I know...Varric came back and he remembered everything about this place. The dwarf? But I don't know if he remembers anything between leaving and coming back. ...Probably not.

[alwayscomeback]

The one that talks a lot?

We could always check with him? Maybe something extra happened to him in-between?

[save_the_souls]

Yeah, that guy with the stories.

[He gives a nod]

It's worth a shot. Even just anything he can remember...

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, even the tiniest flash of anything would help. Some- [he waves his hand vaguely at his notes] step in the right direction.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah...

[Anything would help at this point, but even he's sure that's going to be a long shot]

...I'm sorry. I really thought they'd been sent home like the castle would do.

[alwayscomeback]

It's okay, you were just going with what you were used to.

[He heaves out a sigh.]

It's just frustrating. I need to know that they're ok.

[save_the_souls]

I know. I do too.

[Even if he hasn't lost anyone from his world...it was still crew. They were supposed to look after each other]

We'll figure it out, okay? This time, for real.

[alwayscomeback]

[It was like the Blue Fish credo. Look out for one another. He offers Allen a small smile.]

I'm sure between all of us, we can figure it out.

[save_the_souls]

[And he gives a reassuring smile right back]

Of course! We're the Blue Fish, after all.

[alwayscomeback]

Darn right! No keeping us down.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah! [He'll hold his fist out for a motivational fistbump yeah!!]

[alwayscomeback]

[HELL YEAH!

BRO. FIST. ]
