001 ➳ audio + action.

[sinuosity]

Who: Nyssa.
Broadcast: Fleetwide audio.
Action: Around the Marsiva
When: 1/11.

[ A woman's voice, British-accented, commanding, level, says, ]

I am Nyssa, daughter of Ra's al Ghul. I intend to exact justice from our captors, these — Atroma. We are not playthings, and we will not be caged forever.

I will be indebted to those who fight beside me. [ a beat ] If you intend to stop me, your defeat is not only likely, it is inevitable.

[ and the audio clicks off, but a few seconds later on again, ]

If anyone knows how to remove these implants, I would be doubly grateful.



[ Nyssa is prowling about the ship, peering into empty or unlocked rooms, in the common areas. There must be something here she can appropriate as a weapon. Her bow isn't enough. ]





[ When she finds nothing, she returns to the gym, and can be found in her League uniform (sans weapons), either meditating or going through sword kata. ]

[resnipstance]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You can count me in for fighting the Atroma. Though... I'm getting the impression you might have to get in line, where beatdowns are concerned.

Also, bad news on the implant front.

[sinuosity]

I am content to be patient. They cannot evade us forever.

— let me guess, it can't be removed.

[resnipstance]

[How very Jedi-like.]

I sure hope not.

And yep. Got it in one. Surprise.

text;;

[reconstitution]

As far as prisons go, this is not the worst.

[ There is a considerable pause before the next text comes through. ]

I haven't heard of anyone being able to remove the implant.. Even with my augment knowledge, it is inadvisable. The Atroma are intent upon our keeping of them.

audio;

[sinuosity]

[ What is this texting bullshit. Nyssa sticks to audio. ]

Whether it is better or worse than other prisons is irrelevant. There shouldn't be a prison.

[ to the latter half, ]

Then understanding the implant's effect on us is the key to our escape.

audio;

[reconstitution]

[ UGH. Fine.. Audio it is. ]

The effects vary from person to person. When there are malfunctions, some experience it and others don't.

Action

[takeabow]

[ in one of the common area rooms by herself, contemplating a pin in her hands. she looks up when Nyssa comes in ]

Looking for something?

Action

[sinuosity]

[ Nyssa looks at her up and down, sizing her up. Her scabbards and quiver are empty, and a bow isn't an offensive weapon, but appearances are nearly always deceiving. ]

My weapons. They were taken when I arrived.

[takeabow]

[ maybe the bow isn't an offensive weapon for you... nova eyes it intently ]

Yeah, that's going around. It happens to everyone.

action

[princessia]

[ Elize is quietly sitting in the common room, sipping from a dainty little tea cup that was luckily brought with her when everyone was moved to the Marsiva. She looks up when she sees Nyssa lurking around the area. Awkward... ]

Um... may I help you?

action

[sinuosity]

[ Oh. A child. Something subtle in Nyssa's expression softens. ]

A knife and a way out.

[princessia]

[ You must be new here. ]

Um... you can check the kitchen?

[ She sounds unsure. Most likely not the kind of knife this woman is searching for. ]

I... don't think you can get out. Not while we're flying in space.

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[Full nights of sleep? Better food? A... ship with way too many people on it, run by people diddling with their heads?

So! Rogue has been spending more and more time at the gym, taking her frustrations out on a punching bag. She could go after that for a while, not thinking, just moving into a fluid execution of movement and impact. She'll only pause after going at it for nearly an hour, stepping aside to grab a drink...]

[ action ]

[sinuosity]

[ Nyssa is meditating, in the corner, but after a moment opens one eye to watch. ]

You have good form.

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue glances at the meditating -- formerly meditating -- form.

This left her with three options, really. 3) Ignore 2) "Damn straight" 1)] Thanks.

[Simple, and time to take that drink.

New face? Didn't mean that much... she wasn't exactly Miss Social and she had no idea if this was someone new to the fleet or just someone she hadn't met yet.]

action

[kotatsu]

[ and instead of a weapon, nyssa will find a small child.

nanako was just in one of the rooms, standing in the middle and holding her communicator up like she's getting ready to take a picture when nyssa comes in. she jumps a little, turning around in surprise before it's replaced with something a little calmer. ]

Oh... hello.

action

[sinuosity]

[ Nyssa pauses for a second, and then steps out of the line of sight of Nanako's selfie. She waits until either the phone's been put down or Nanako's done with her selfie to speak. ]

What did they take from you, when you arrived here?

action

[kotatsu]

[ it's more like a panoramic shot of the room instead of a selfie, but hey, it's not like she's actually tall enough to get a good shot. the camera cuts off most of her face, but that's alright. she's still collecting pictures to make a sort of virtual map of the ship.

she does frown a little at nyssa's question, tilting her head. ]

They didn't really take anything from me. I guess they just took... me? I was dropping Big Bro off at the train station before I woke up here.

action

[serves]

[People prowling about generally catches Cullen's attention. He pauses on his way, deciding whether to engage or not. They're all on the same boat (or ship, ha ha), and so his sense of charity gets the best of him.]

Are you new?

action

[sinuosity]

[ That obvious? Though she supposes it's a credit to the people on board that they notice when someone looks around the place. ]

Yes, just arrived. Where are our weapons?

action

[serves]

[He's done some prowling in his time.]

Gone, unfortunately. [Fortunately? She's rather unhappy.] You won't find them here.

action!!

[grounds]

[Octavia's off in one of the nooks of the common area doing some reading. She spots the prowler out of the corner of her eyes and decides to engage. Because why not.]

Hey, you new? [Should Nyssa look over, she'd see the book is on a variety of sword techniques.]

[sinuosity]

[ Good choice in books. Bait, and trap. ]

That obvious?

[audio]

[tothefly]

Well. I guess that's one way to make an entrance. Rallying the troops with dramatic speeches already?

[The voice is dry, but reasonably neutral. She's not exactly poking fun. Not quite.]

[audio]

[sinuosity]

The truth must be delivered properly, don't you agree?
