Beam me up

[The weekly Shuffle doesn't happen quite as it should. No new passengers appear on the ships, and no message is sent in from the hosts. The usual day comes and goes without a stir.

And then, on the second day, another one of those surges of static comes in over the speakers, breaking apart for a voice in the background. It's Diamond, and she sounds too far away from the receiver. She also doesn't sound quite like herself-- her tone flat and cold. Disappointed.]


--I know. I can't. [A pause of empty air, before a short, decisive sigh.] ...Yes. Bring them in.

[A blip of lost time passes right after those words, before every passenger mysteriously wakes alone in their own unfamiliar room. They have never seen this room before, but those familiar with the Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva might recognize the style of decor. It sounds and smells the same as the host ship as well--clean and chrome--but this set of rooms have never been ventured into before.

Welcome back to the Marsiva, dear passengers.]

ooc info:
Happy belated birthday, Drift Fleet! This is the first official mingle for the Season Finale event. As always, this is very backtag friendly-- including the Hosts section below. Take a look at the event information, then jump in and enjoy!

Like physically, or emotionally?

[She sounds mad.]
save_the_souls: (forgotten once more)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-18 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah he can't blame her for that]

...Physically. No one's alright emotionally right now, I think.

Did you wake up in a strange room too?
delincuente: (✂︎ she brings this liberation)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, some kind of space jail. Except my walkman's here.
save_the_souls: (showdown)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-18 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a panel next to the door, it'll open it. We're entirely trapped.

[Just in a even bigger cage]
delincuente: (☮ the dawning of our lives)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-18 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, so we're all on another ship? She same ship?
save_the_souls: (catching breath)

that was *not entirely trapped*

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-18 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I'm still looking around.
delincuente: (✂︎ she's the salt of the earth)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-18 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hold on a sec, I'm gonna try something...

[She pulls out her wand and mutters a spell. A tiny, glowing mouse materializes, then slips through the crack beneath the door and into the hallway.]

I just sent something your way. Tell me if it gets to you, then we'll know.
save_the_souls: (this is weird but so's my life)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-19 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
You did?

What sort of thing?

[It's a big ship, so it's probably going to take Mr. Mousey a bit]
delincuente: (☮ from chicago to toronto)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
A little tracker. It should find you eventually if you're on the same ship as me.
save_the_souls: (nervous scratch)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-19 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[There's a pause as he waits]

...Is your tracker a glowing mouse or is the rodent problem here truly bad?
delincuente: (✂︎ is she trouble like i'm trouble)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-19 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[She can't hide the relief in her voice.]
save_the_souls: (idk my bff Tim?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-19 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Great!

[That's a relief. They were on the same ship at least. He'll scoop down to pick it up in his hands] Hey little guy..it's good to see you.
delincuente: (☮ she sings the revolution)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-20 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It should have left a little glowy poop trail to follow back. Otherwise just put it down and it should disappear.
save_the_souls: (jfc on a moped)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-20 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...Follow a trail of glowing poop...

[...]

Really Alex?
delincuente: (☮ that i just can't define)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-21 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I didn't invent magic!
save_the_souls: (Someone's gonna have to change (Lavi))

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-21 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He just SIGHS and you can tell there's an eyeroll]

Fine, I'm following the trail.

[Which you can hear the footsteps as he does so]
delincuente: (☮ and she's dangerous)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-10-21 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's surprised at how quickly she hears him coming, and matches his SIGH - but hers is of dramatic relief.]

Okay, see you in about... three seconds?

[And she shuts off the voice feed BYEEEE]
