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.

[Kate's been kind of keeping to herself for the day she's been on the Marsiva, still trying to figure all this out, but once she hears someone else talking it's difficult to not go and see what's going on.

It's been a month since she's seen another girl her age, okay. This is exciting.]

So, space, huh? You make it sound like that's old news.

[Octavia looks over at the other teen, a little incredulous. She doesn't look like a grounder, and she's obviously not from the Ark. Might as well go along with it for now.]

It is old news. [There's a pause, where she debates continuing, before deciding just to add a bit more, sitting on her bunk.] I miss earth already.

[Huh. There must be some sort of weird temporal crap going on here if they're talking about this so differently, and Kate's amused smile fades into a look of mild confusion. Mostly, though, she's just really curious about how different Octavia's experience of earth must have been.]

Where I'm from the only people that go to space are, you know, astronauts.

[So yeah it's a little weird bro.]

[Are you kidding - Were they kidding -

They could have picked up anyone from home and he got Grounderboinker #1. Great. At least he had the element of surprise, and at least she didn't have her weapons. Plus, like - what was she gonna do way over on the Marsiva? She couldn't have her assignment yet.

So he stamps out a message first, to start to compensate for - whatever reaction she might have publicly to seeing him. And, like, small fun.]

YOUR NEVER GETING IT BACK OCTAVIA

[Okay, now there's a really skeptical look.]

Nuclear war, wiped out the planet a hundred years ago. Ring a bell?

[wat]

What... what year is it, then?

[Because that's definitely the sort of thing people say might happen and holy shit what if it actually does.]

[She stares at the comm, pretty much not believing what she's seeing. If this person or whoever had actually taken it, she's going to feel pretty embarrassed, because--]

Hey, dumbass, wrong "you're." [She lived under floor for sixteen years, even she knows better.]

2149. Why? [Now, she's curious. That's a really weird question to ask. But then, all this stuff looks brand new, nothing like what they had on the Ark or on Earth.]

[Two seconds to ruin it, Octavia. Two seconds to ruin it.]

whatever.. be an ass but dont freak out

[He is on the Windrose, but on his end there's only the plain wall of his room behind him. His face has healed since she's last seen him, thanks to this place, but he's trying out the charcoal jumpsuit they left him in exchange for his own ratty clothes.]

Hope you like being on camera all the time because that's the whole jig. Welcome back to - an only kinda better ship.

[Yep, Kate is officially freaked out now.]

Well, I mean, that hasn't happened yet because it's only 2014 for me. I knew this place did some weird stuff, but...

[Forcing time travel on people isn't something she was really expecting to deal with. And now she knows the Earth is due to be a thing of the past like pretty soon.]

You're the one be-- [Her words cut out when the video flickers on, and she sees the familiar grease and beak. Octavia's eye narrow, and though she wants to yell at him right now, information's more important. Still, he does receive a well place glare.]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Her eyes widen in surprise, because what even? She shifts on the bunk, leaning forward.]

What weird stuff?

Oh my god - [He fails to stifle a laugh, brushing his thumb against his nose.] Unbelievable. I'm flattered, but this is a little organized to be me, don't you think?

The cameras. It's all a broadcast. [He pauses, and spreads a hand wide.] "The Ark: The Television Show".

[So, a fuzzy blue dude has woken up on this same day. He finds himself seemingly in outer space, right after witnessing one of the most traumatic events he's seen. So now, he's wondering which part is the really weird and really bad dream.

And worst of all, his image inducer doesn't seem to be working. But his teleportation does.

He's trying to limit his movement, in case this really is outer space. The last thing he wants to do is teleport outside. But he does try teleporting across the bay, with a blanket draped over him in a hasty attempt to conceal his features. But he seemed to misjudge how empty the area looked, as with a 'bamf!' and with a cloud of smoke that smelled like brimstone, he found himself appearing before a girl he never saw before.]

O-oh... sorry! [He has no idea how to explain this or anything, so he nervously takes some steps back while trying to pull the blanket up further over his head.]

They take everyone's weapons when you board. You can get new ones on the planets, sometimes.

[She stares at the video for a good few moments before barking out a loud, sharp laugh of her own.]

I really do! I was going to say, you're the one being an ass! [Octavia flashes a warning grin.]

Glad we're on the same page, now tell me what you mean.

[The first thing Octavia reacts to is the sound, followed quickly the smell and smoke. Unfortunately, she'd opened her mouth to speak. This results in a coughing fit as she waves her hand to dispel the offending odor.]

What the he-- [Cough hack!] What was that?!

Sometimes? [She's done some reading, so the planet thing isn't as much of a shock.]

Yeah. We don't always stop somewhere that stocks 'em.

So, what? We sit and wait? I'm not big on someone taking my stuff like that.

Well, give 'em a nice black eye to remember you by when you see 'em. You might have to get in line for that, though.

Welcome to the Fleet, Miss...?

You get any answers yet?

[ Nova seems... mildly interested, but mostly kind of wry ]

[THAT - was way funner while it lasted, let him tell you.]

I don't know, is it really me you wanna hear the whole welcome spiel from? It's not actually it, just sort of. You're on a ship called - [He acts like it's distant memory, but his augment easily tells him otherwise.] the Marsiva.

[His eyebrows lift.] Food's just as mushy, but there's more flavors. You get to live above ground. What do you want to know?

Are you okay? [He peeks in her direction with some concern. He's definitely not starting off on the right foot.] J-just some smoke, nothing to see here!

Edited 2015-09-28 01:52 (UTC)

Because you're the one I'm talking to right now. Is anyone else here? [Like Bellamy. Or Lincoln. Or anyone she likes by chance.]

What's the point of this?
