Twelfth Cycle - Season Premier!

[Everything is quite dark as the passengers regain consciousness, with little lights and panels on the walls just now beginning to wink to life. It seems as though everyone and their new homes are rising from slumber together. Even the air is sleepy, and it tastes stale--it must have been a long time since it's been anywhere other than recycled endlessly through this space.

And for a few minutes, the only sounds that aren't coming from the passengers themselves is the omnipresent hum of electrical and mechanical parts surrounding them on every side, and the occasional scratch of vermin-feet in the walls. Then, regardless of where each passenger wakes in their ship, a short musical tune and an exuberant female voice crackles to life over speaker panels in every room.]


--Good morning, honored passengers! My name is Diamond, and on behalf of Atroma and our entire audience, congratulations on being selected to participate in the twelfth cycle of Drift Fleet! We are all eager to get to know you, and I just know you must all be eager to get started, so let's get right to it!

[And with that, whoever happens to be on the bridge of their ship at the time will be treated to watching the solid panels slide away from the windows, revealing infinite black and uncountable stars... and whether or not they've ever been capable of comprehending the concept before, they immediately recognize outer space.]

In a few minutes, the HS Marsiva will come into view through the windows to my left. Please familiarize yourself with her presence.

For more information on your new roles, and of the Drift Fleet itself, please refer to the helpful information files already uploaded to the network. And from here on out, it shall be up to you to refer new cremates to these information files and to make sure that their stays on your crews are pleasant and rewarding!

...Also--speaking of your new responsibilities as crewmembers--I expect captain forms to be filled out and submitted by the end of the week.

[The smile practically drips from her voice at that last point, and there's a little pause before she continues]

And finally-- we won't be approaching our first system for a few days yet, so you are all encouraged to get to know each other and enjoy the ride in the meantime.

Welcome to Drift Fleet, and remember... the worlds are watching!

[and the voice cuts out, but the lines are still open. the network is live and listening.]



((ooc: the Fleet is now live! dive in and tag around! it's a good idea to put whether or not your thread is open to the network, and what ship you're on, in the subject of your reply. to see who is on which crew, please refer to this sheet! have fun!))

I'm not sure that's the reason... but you're very sweet to say so!
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-19 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Why else would it be? Of course they're really shy and embarrassed around such a pretty girl! They don't want to mess up and say something stupid.
aberrant_type: (joy joy joy)

Well, you see... I'm a woman of science! And it's my impression that some people find that a bit intimidating.

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-22 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
See, I find smart girls sexy. Who wouldn't? In those long white coats!
aberrant_type: (pop them glasses up :>)

[personal profile] aberrant_type 2014-10-24 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not the long white coats kind, but maybe I can find one to wear just for you. ♥
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Aw come on...)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-25 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
And then later take it off.
aberrant_type: (get the job done.)

[personal profile] aberrant_type 2014-10-25 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, how forward. Is that what you like?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (How can you say no to this face?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-10-28 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it everyone's favorite part?
aberrant_type: (luv tea)

[personal profile] aberrant_type 2014-11-20 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you know, some men are quite shy!
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Ideas forming! And that is never good!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-11-25 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Just get him sometime in person.] Well, I think I can safely say that I'm not like most men.

[In a contralto singsong:]

You'll have to show me.

[STEP CAREFULLY VASH]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Phear my finger gun!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-12-21 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry, I don't think that will be a problem once you get to meet me. They don't call me a "stampede" back home for nothing after all.

[So, it's because he destroys things and not because he's a sex machine. Same thing, right?]
aberrant_type: (the world is a thing we can grasp)

[personal profile] aberrant_type 2014-12-23 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
My, my. That is quite the nickname...

Until then, Vash.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Teehee! I'm going to kill you!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2014-12-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I look forward to it.
