01 - Light the fire
Who: Yang Xiao Long
Broadcast: Network-wide
Action: Marsiva and SS Bishop
When: 1/08/16 - 1/10/16
A: Arrival on the Marsiva (Backdated to 01/08):
[When the communicator's network feed goes online, it does not show anything at first. Seemingly just an empty cot room aboard the Marsiva. However, after a few seconds, a girl with long blonde hair slowly sits up in bed, rubbing her bleary, sleep-filled eyes. She stretches both arms above her, yawning loudly, and trying to evict whatever remnants of sleep were lingering on her person.]
Bluh. Hope I didn't oversleep. Weiss will kill me if I'm late to the--
[It's then that she takes a moment to look around, still looking half asleep. Slowly, she noticeably begins to realize that this is not, in fact, her dorm room back at Beacon Academy. No, this appears to be something far different. She notices a nearby window, the inky blackness of space stretching far out beyond the glass. She walks over to it, looking outside. She crans her neck this way and that, as if looking for the seam or the border of the set, some clue that this could actually be an elaborate prank. However, she quickly determines that this is all rather convincingly real. Rather than freak out though, she takes a moment, crosses her arms, and even grins a little.]
Well, this certainly was not what I was expecting to wake up to today. Space, huh? I can dig it.
[She spies the communicator sitting on a table, nearby the cot that she woke up on. She walks over and picks it up, offering a wave of greeting.]
Hi there to anyone watching this. All you aliens and space people and whatnot. Um, as cool as this all is- and really, it is pretty cool-I kind of have to get back to Vale soon. Like, right away actually. Got this big tournament that I'm fighting in, and my team's counting on me for the one on ones. So, if we could turn this thing around or if you could beam me back or just do the reverse of whatever you did to bring me here, I'd really appreciate it.
Maybe we can do this whole outer space thing some other time?
B: Arrival on Bishop (01/10):
[From one ship right to another. Not that Yang was complaining. After only a day on the Marsiva, she was already bored. She'd never been one to want to hang around in one place for too long. Unfortunately, it was seeming like this new ship was smaller than the old one. Still, at least it was something new to explore.]
[After the shuffle, Yang can be found wandering around the Bishop, getting the lay of the ship and figuring out all that it has to offer. She can be found in the kitchen, combing through the food supplies or playing with the drink machine's options--she'll be mixing flavors to see what tastes the best. She can be found in the bunkroom, looking a little disappointed with the overall lack of space provided. In the bridge, she'll be curiously checking out all the fancy knobs, switches and buttons. You may walk in on her about to push one or two. In the cargo bay, she'll be ogling the Bishop's shuttle craft, wondering how easy it would be to take one out for a spin. Not like she exactly knows how to fly one, but how hard could it be, right? Finally, she'll find her way to the armory, inspecting the various weapons that it has to offer. Sadly, discovering that she'll likely not find any good substitutes for her ember celica here.]

video;
[He pauses, tilting his head at her a little] But since we're in the same boat - has anyone given you the basics yet? About your augment and your crew and all that?
Video

[Is someone proud of his cooking ability? Probably.]
The waiting's the hardest part, but once you've got your crew, you'll be good to go.
no subject
[She looks visibly confused and little concerned still, but she tries to appear a bit more positive than she might actually feel.]
Well, at least this is kind of exciting, right? I mean, cruising through outer space and all. I was told we get to visit alien planets and stuff too. So... I guess there's plenty to keep you busy?
no subject
[The less he thinks about that, the better. Time-travel shenanigans makes his brain hurt.]
More than enough. You... said you were in a fighting tournament, right? If you like that kind of thing, and we're still on the planet at the end of the week, you can go hunting. Technically? You can hunting every time we reach a planet.
There's stuff on the planets, stuff on the Iskaulit, and stuff on your own ship. It can be a handful sometimes.
no subject
[She suddenly seems a lot more serious than she was just a moment ago.]
no subject
no subject
Have you all visited a lot of different planets already?
no subject
Kind of. I've only been to three. But one of my friends has been here since the beginning, so he's seen more than his fair share.
no subject
[She sighs.]
Grimm are creatures that pray on mankind. They're drawn by negative emotions, and they grow stronger, more savage, longer they live. They really only exist to kill.
[Not exactly pleasant conversation, Yang knows. So she tries and redirect things.]
But your friend though, he's been here since the beginning of all this? I'd like to meet him then. Maybe find out a little more about this place and everything that's going on.
no subject
I'm sure you'll see him around. His name's Allen Walker. White hair, kinda spiky... looks sixteen, but I swear he isn't. [This is a point of contention with the guy, so heads-up Yang.] In the meantime, I can fill you in on the recent stuff.
Generally, we're a pretty peaceful group. No one's died, and this thing's been on the air for over a year now.
no subject
no subject
[Like his ship.]
They weren't shooting with intent to kill, but it wouldn't surprise me if they came back for more.
no subject
Wait a second. If this is a TV show or whatever, why would someone attack us? I mean, if this show is supposed to be pretty popular, wouldn't other aliens be able to tell who we were and then not attack us?
Unless, it's like their messed up way to get their five seconds of fame or something...
no subject
[Which is weird to think about. Maybe he'll... try not to dwell on it.]
I don't exactly want fans, but you'd think we'd run into them every once in a while.
no subject
no subject
I'd think so. Sponsors wouldn't earn money if they didn't send us embarrassing t-shirts or boxes of mac-and-cheese.
But like I said, it's not popular with the people we visit. That could be on purpose.
no subject
I mean, this is all high-tech space stuff right. Who knows how their broadcasting and communication tech even works?
no subject
[Oh, right...]
I'm Stefan, by the way. Should've mentioned that a lot earlier.
no subject
I'm Yang. It's nice to meet you Stefan.
no subject
I know you're gonna be on the Marsiva for a little longer, but once you're all Shuffled - don't hesitate to call. I'm usually around for things.
no subject
[She smiles, clearly enjoying herself despite all this craziness.]
I'll keep that in mind though. Thanks for filling me in on all the details about this place.
