At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]


ooc: here's another mingle for the current game event! players can start or continue threads here from any point during the event. the additional setting information is still being postponed due to sickly mods, but y'all are welcome to post additional topcomments for reactions and investigation once it's up!

[...seriously?

Rogue glances a little forlornly at the spot she was in her book.]

We're here 'cause Atroma is screwin' with us. Nothin' too unpleasant, just a little mental invasion ta go with the fact that they're givin' us real coffee an' real books.

[Hint, hint. Go ask one of the Helpful people now.]

[admirably]

[ He could take a hint, which would maybe be the wiser course, in the long run. But, now, she's got an interesting perspective. ]

That hardly sounds like a fair deal. [ Mental invasion? That's a bit alarming. ] Are you normally deprived of real coffee and real books?

[touchofrogue]

[No, she is not interesting, she is boring and wants to read her book - go away.]

Most kidnappers ain't exactly interested in fair play. [In her considerable experience, that is. It's why you have to cheat right back.]

And, yes. So if ya don't mind...

[HINT. HINT.]

[admirably]

Duly noted. [ Though he sounds a little amused with this response. He would not be a pawn in someone else's game - quite the opposite. ]

I beg your pardon for the intrusion. Do you mind if I ask what you're reading?

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue shuts her book with a snap and gives this chump a Look.]

If ya were really beggin' my pardon for anythin', you'd knock off what ya were doin' that got you there in the first place.

[And the book's cover is facing you, bro. Read it (Alice and Wonderland) or get out of the way.]

[admirably]

[ Prickly, isn't she? Not too unlike a certain ice queen. Hans's charms hadn't worked on Elsa - maybe they wouldn't work on this girl, either. Though he wasn't about to drop pretense. ]

Of course, milady. I'll leave you to your reading.

[touchofrogue]

[Mild twinge of guilt for being rude to a new guy, check.

Sigh.]

Alright. Good luck findin' a tour guide around the place. I'm sure if ya ask someone who ain' readin', it won't be too hard.

[And opening her book back up. Because seriously, people will trip all over themselves to help a new person. It doesn't have to be her to do it, and Rogue is fine with that.]
