Who: Octavia Blake and ??
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Marsiva
When: Saturday morning (backdated)

[Luckily for Octavia's dignity, somehow her initial waking up freakout wasn't broadcast, so the first televised signs of her include the brunette leaning against the wall, curiously looking over her communicator. She jumps a little when it starts recording, but composure isn't too far off.

A raised brow greets the fleet, followed by a hesitant attempt at a smile. It's a bad one.]

So, space. [It's said in a very dry, unimpressed tone.] Anyone mind telling me what the hell's going on? I've got things to do, and this wasn't one of them... Whatever this is.

[She straightens, moving back to her initial bunk.]

And someone tell me what dick took my sword. I want it back.

[takeabow]

[ why, nova, is that a blush? ]

Uh, well. He's really funny. Sometimes I can get wrapped up in my head, you know? And he's really good at not letting me get too far into that.

[grounds]

Yeah, I know the feeling. [She remembers a certain someone back home who can sometimes dwell on his own grim dealings.] That's something good to hang on to.

[takeabow]

We were planning on getting my sister and going to his world, but we got sidetracked here.

[grounds]

You could do that? [Cue a very puzzled look.]

[takeabow]

From Aather, yeah. I don't know about now.

[grounds]

Sorry about that. Maybe we'll find something, who knows?

[takeabow]

Yeah. The same thing that brought us here can probably help us get to where we need to go, right?

[grounds]

It'd make sense. But how do we even find that?

[takeabow]

I don't know yet. We don't even really know anything about who put us in this situation.

[grounds]

Super. Let's just focus on what we can do for now. We'll go crazy otherwise.

[takeabow]

Yeah, you're right. I'm not too good for getting information, though.

[grounds]

If it's this kind of information, it doesn't look like many people are.

[takeabow]

Sorry.

[grounds]

Why? It's not anyone's fault besides the ones keeping it from us.

[takeabow]

Yeah, I know. It just seems like we should know more.

[grounds]

Try not to worry about what you can't control. It sounds difficult, but it can help.

[takeabow]

That's much easier said than done.

[grounds]

Like I said, difficult.

[takeabow]

Are you any good at it?

[grounds]

I try to be. Now's harder than normal for obvious reasons.

[takeabow]

Yeah, I can understand that.

So, yeah. Anyway.

[grounds]

[Octavia gives her a look. Anyway what?]

[takeabow]

[ I don't know she was hoping you'd find a subject to talk about ]

...

Have you met anyone from your ship yet?

[grounds]

I haven't even gotten my assignment yet. It's making me antsy.

[And she is sort of shifting as she speaks.]

[takeabow]

Right, of course.

It's... weird. I hope you get along with people when you get assigned. If you don't, you can change, though.
