► [ action ]

[ Yosuke doesn't stay in that bed for long. He rolls over... and falls right out of it. dfjakl

He sits up with a jolt, wide awake, and that does not at all help the shock of being somewhere completely foreign. He's on his feet in barely even a second, looking around, trying to see anything that might just give him a clue. There's not much, of course, and falling back on instinct, he reaches under the jacket of his school uniform for his kunai. But they're... not there. What...? ]

What the hell...?

[ He tries to take a few deep breaths, but he's too antsy to stay still in the face of something completely unknown. So he starts wandering away from his bed, and rather quickly - because if there aren't answers, he's going to put that on hold for a minute or two.

He has his friends to find. And he has to find them now. ]


► [ audio ]

[ Okay. He's calmed down a bit more now. Sort of.

He grabs the device from its place near where he woke up. So even though he's never seen one of these things before, somehow, he knows exactly what to do with it. Maybe it's just techno-instinct? The way they talk about his generation growing up on computers all the time - that's gotta be what's going on. Right? ... Yeah, well, one relization at a time.

He starts broadcasting. On purpose, even! ]

Okay. I have no idea who's listening to this, but if you can hear me, I just woke up in this weird... Uh. Space ship. [ A second of silence. ] I don't know, but that's what it looks like! But seriously, the point is, what's going on and how do I get out of here?

[ A longer silence this time - one with a sense of hesitation... until he finally decides, hell with it, and speaks up again! ]

If this is the Plane - I mean, you know, because it looks like space - then can someone really tell me what the hell is going on?

[ The sad part is, he's not entirely sure if he wants this to be the Plane or not... ]

[poetontheinside]

It's space. [Good job!]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ .... facepalm ]

Yeah, thanks. I get the big picture, so how about telling me how I got to space? Or why I'm in space?

[poetontheinside]

Can't do the first one, but uh, you're here cause you're apparently interestin' enough that people wanna watch you be on reality TV. Space reality TV.

[cpt_ressentiment]

Space reality TV. Right. Dude, do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

[poetontheinside]

Go ahead. Ask anyone else, see how ridiculous we all sound.

Video; private (filtered to Yosuke)

[cabbagedetective]

[The voice coming from the communicator gives Adachi pause. He's heard that voice before. It'd been a few months, but it only takes him a few minutes to put a face to the voice. When he does, a wicked smile stretches across his face. It looks like things were going to be getting real interesting around here.]

[When the video feed clicks on, Adachi gives a loud, exasperated sigh. Holding a hand to his forehead in feigned frustration.]

I was wondering when one of you punks was going to show up. Though out of all the possible pain in the asses, it had be this idiot. Guess you're going to have to dip into some major saved up vacation days from Junes...

Video; private

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Oh. Oh hell.

While Adachi's speaking, Yosuke follows up on the filters and switches on his own video. He's still not sure how he knows exactly how to do that, as though it were just common knowledge and instinct, but right now, he doesn't care.

To say he looks wary would be a pretty grand understatement. Eyes narrowed into a glare, teeth clamped tightly together... yeah, this whole thing's a lot to take in, and this sure doesn't help. ]

You--! You don't get to call me an idiot! What are you doing here? And what do you mean, wondering when we'd show up?!

[ When in doubt/panic, ask useless things, apparently. ]

Re: Video; private

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi gives his signature chuckle full of contempt. He shakes his head, holding his hands up in a "Oh, brother..." gesture. His face becomes a mask of feigned worry and concern.]

Hey now, no need to be so hostile. It's not like I wanted to come here or anything. It just happened. I've been here patiently waiting for the rescue party to show up. I mean, that's what you're here for right? You came to rescue me with all your little investigation team buddies?

[Adachi knows that's not the case at all, but he's definitely hoping that these questions will get some kind of information out of Yosuke. Or, at the very least, an all too entertaining reaction.]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ That all just grates on him even more, and his eyes practically twitches at that chuckle of his. ]

Like hell! I don't even know where this is - what this is! If you've been here waiting so long, why don't you tell me what the hell is going on?

[ Sure, Yosuke, see how far that gets you. ]

[justamobster]

Like you said. S'a space ship. Not a plane. [ Badum pshh. Though Ladon has no idea he's actually managing a pun there, otherwise he'd be tickled. He has a terrible sense of humor. ]

You get offa it soon. But it'll be onto 'nother ship.

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Meanwhile, Yosuke assumes pun and grooaans. ] Not that kind of plane, man. Just-- forget it.

[ But that's not a lot of explanation, and he's still pretty in the dark. [

Another ship? What, seriously? Why?

[justamobster]

S'a fleet. S'made of ships, ain't it?

You ain't gotten the talk yet? Fleet, driftin' through space, some kinda telly-vision show...

[cpt_ressentiment]

... Ah.

[ That makes sense. ... Even though it doesn't really help matters. He'd prefer to be on no ship at all. ]

Not really, no, I just woke up and got zero answers from the automated everything ever in this damn room.

[stefanged]

The plane? [Stefan's confusion is loud and clear.] I mean, we're flying through space, but it's not... nevermind.

There's no way to get out of there - I checked, when I was on board a while back. They'll assign you to another ship soon.

[cpt_ressentiment]

Yeah no it's not that kind of-- yeah, never mind.

[ Doot doot. Doot. ]

Assign? For what? Is this like a weird job thing? [ Beat. ] How'd I even get here?

[stefanged]

[At least the kid knows the difference between a plane and a spaceship. Stefan was starting to worry for a moment.]

Kind of. We're supposedly on some reality show, but I don't think anyone knows how they got here. I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

[His theory: he pissed off some super powerful alien, and this is revenge. But that's not applicable to everyone here.]

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Dude what kind of life did you lead that that's a safe assumption to make...? ]

Whoa. Hold on. So I'm suddenly in space, and on a reality TV show? What-- Don't they have to make us sign something to say that's even okay?!

[audio]

[skullcracker]

Oh, sheesh. Yosuke?

[of course it's yosuke. of course. she sighs.]

[ audio ]

[cpt_ressentiment]

Hey-- Chie!

[ Someone he knows that isn't cabbage patch detective! Relief! You can practically hear the smile as he lets out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding. ]

Where are you? Are you okay?

[ audio ]

[skullcracker]

Well, of course I'm OK! [come on, how long have you known this girl?] I'm on a ship ... the Paisley, it's called? [kind of a weird name for a ship but whatever.]

Are you OK?

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ WELL YES but he's still gonna ask. Because this isn't exactly the same thing as landing on your ass in the TV world. This is space. Actual space. ]

The... Paisley? Who names a ship something like that? Anyway, I'm... okay. I think. I'd be better if I knew how the heck I got here and how to get back home.

[blindoptimism]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid there's no way to leave immediately that we know of. [she'll answer his other questions in a second, but... that's the one that she feels the worst about telling new people who show up, so she gets that out of the way first]

As for what is going on, we don't know everything yet. We've been told that we are on a television program, that there are people watching all of us interact with one another, but we have no real way to know if our captors are telling us the truth.

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Damn. Not what he wanted to hear. But he's not gonna take it out on her--

wait what television program. ]

Program? Seriously? Geez, this just gets weirder and weirder... So there's like cameras everywhere? And people are actually watching us? Supposedly?

[blindoptimism]

So they claim. [she can't bite back a slight sigh. It's her version of looking utterly annoyed with the jerks who keep them here]

I'm sorry that I do not have better news to greet you with. [and the way her eyebrows knit slightly, she really does look sorry] But, luckily, you should be relatively safe while you are here. While our captors clearly have no regard for our freedom, it seems that they have no intention to hurt us either.

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ He sighs right along with her, honestly - louder, sure, but also annoyed. And at a loss. What the heck is he supposed to do now...? ]

I guess that kinda figures. Wouldn't want to do anything to us that might make for bad TV, huh? [ He gives a huff of a laugh. ] Hey, thanks for the answers. Even if no one really knows much, you still know more than me.
