Who: Wrath
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: HS Marsiva hospitality deck
When: 6/13

[It's... probably a sad statement about Wrath's life that waking up in a strange place with something plugged into her neck? Not actually that weird. Not remembering how she got to said place? Also not that weird. Not remembering signing up for some kind of reality show?

At this point she just assumes that she's been subjected to another recode.

...okay, maybe a recode that went a little wrong. Who knows how much time she's lost, but it's an accomplishment that she's immediately aware of those things, she knows that. And she also knows better than to think about it too hard. Just have to roll with the punches.

Focus on what she can do. Which would be figuring out the communicator thing (hey, that's all pretty familiar!), try to read some stuff to get oriented, give up on reading, and just go for it.

So there you go. Tiny woman, bright pink hair, surprisingly deep voice.]

Maine? Orion? You around anywhere? Delta? North? Christine? Foxtrot? Whiskey?

[That basically covers everyone immediately important.]

Also, if anyone's seen my cane, I'd really like to have it back. It's about... uh. This big. [Holds hands apart.] And it's a cane. But don't press the button on it, there's a sword inside and the spring is kind of touchy.

And my chems. Those are kind of important.

And my kitten. This big. [Teeny.] Calico tabby with little pink jellybean toes.

That will be all, thank you.

[Very authoritative nod, sign off.]

[And after this, she's limping off to find a window and lose her damn mind with delight that she's in space. She can't wait to tell Maine! ...at some point.]

Atroma have a nasty habit of fleecing your for all your stuff when you arrive. You'll likely get them back down the line, in some planet or waystation or whatever.

That's really low. Who the fuck steals a kitten? [That's way more offensive than stealing a cane.]

I guess if I get everything back eventually, that's better than nothing. But I'm going to have to find a regular, boring cane for now.

What's your name?

You'd be surprised at how big that list can get.

The sacrifices you have to make. So sad.

Name's Crowley.

[She sticks her tongue out, but she's laughing too. Most of her friends are total dicks, let's be honest.] Don't be an asshole, Crowley. I have to have a cane to walk and it's better if it's also an effective weapon.

Anyway, my name is Wrath. It's nice to meet you!

I'm always an asshole, this is something you will learn.

Wrath, catchy. Like the Sin?

Most of my best friends are assholes. [But she doesn't put up with them being dicks. Is it time to explain that fine difference?]

Yeah. I was the CO of Wrath platoon in Ghost Wolf Company for like... twenty five years I think? Something like that. My main battle partner was Envy. Until he went away.

Hooray for you.

Huh. So are you... actually a Sin or is it just a fancy nickname your platoon picked up?

Only if you think that's a good thing.

I'm just a soldier. [Shrugs.] And I was good at my job. The Ghost Wolves have just always had seven platoons, and the lieutenants are the sins.

Huh. People and their names. I'm sure the religious nutjobs must of had a field day with you.

I don't know a lot of religious people. Or any.

Or maybe the Commander was some kind of religious? The kind that makes green bean casserole.

That's a growing trend, I've noticed.

...I think I missed where that's in the Bible.

Is it? I think some of my soldiers were in to the god thing when we were on the Line. But it's like... Kind of a private thing I guess?

If there's no green bean casserole in the Bible, how do you get your nutrients and fiber?

It's not as strong as it used to be, anyway. Probably for the best. Lowers the chance of zealotry.

Bread and wine, for the most part.

People just get to be zealots about other things. Like money. [Yeah, she pays more attention than people think.]

That doesn't sound like it's got a lot of fiber in it though. Green things are supposed to be really good for you.

That's what I hear, also I am always and advocate for alcohol.

I'm not allowed to drink alcohol any more, which sucks. But otherwise I'd definitely agree with that.

You do know rules don't apply here, right? This isn't home, you can do what you like.

Well, it's more if I drink, with all the chems I'm on, it fucks me up really, really bad. And I don't have a wimpy human liver any more, but it still does weird shit to my brain chemistry.

Though hey! I guess if I can't have my regular chems right now, I could definitely drink. [Look on the bright side!]

There you go. Silver lining in every cloud.

I try to be optimistic. I mean, I survived this long, might as well enjoy it!

Well, yes, surviving is generally something to enjoy.

I've never tried being dead that I can remember, so yeah. It's probably not any fun.

Thanks for talking to me, Crowley. [The fact that you're kind of a dick reminds her of home. In a positive way.]

Neither have I. Not permanently anyway.

Well, it killed some time. [Because what is sentimentality? He's allergic! ]

How much does being temporarily dead suck?

I think I've been temporarily dead before, but I don't remember if I have been.

Drawing is also really good for killing time. And York knits.

More of an inconvinience than anything. Got to fill out a load of paperwork to get a corporeal form again. And we definately remember it. It's monotonous enough that I wish we wouldn't.

...York. As in Agent York?
