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!

Well, that's what we're told. I don't believe it. But that's the line we're fed- We're here as entertainment for viewers across the universe.

[#helping]

[admirably]

What makes you think that's a lie?

[ No actually, that would be quite helpful information. ]

[experiencepoints]

They've given us no proof- They occasionally read us 'fan letters', but there's no reason they couldn't have made those up. They also haven't given us any incentive to believe... well, anything they say, really. And we've never seen cameras to record us or anything. It's more likely they just tell us that to keep us in line, I think.

[admirably]

They think we'll behave if we think someone is always watching?

[ Oh, but that's where they're wrong. ]

[experiencepoints]

Well, no one's going to try to murder people if there's eyes constantly on them, right?

[admirably]

[ You'd be surprised.

But he just smiles. ]

I should hope there wouldn't be murder going on regardless, but I suppose that extra precaution makes sense, if a bit invasive.

[experiencepoints]

You'd hope, but this is my second interdimensional prison, so I don't have that much faith anymore.

[She shrugs, like it's no big deal.]

Any other questions?

[admirably]

[ Her second? ]

Do you mind if I ask about that? You were in a place like this before?

[experiencepoints]

Well, you're welcome to, but... It was a nasty place. You might not like what you hear.

[admirably]

I can't deny that I'm curious, but if you'd rather not talk about it, I understand.

[experiencepoints]

It's fine.

The short version is, it was a castle in a void demiplane where we played 'games' for god-like beings, for a chance to restore our memories.

[admirably]

And did you comply with that?

[ He hates the idea of being a pawn, but he IS good at games... ]

[experiencepoints]

Depends on what that day's game was. My team played when it wouldn't hurt anyone else, or when refusing to play would cause more harm.

[admirably]

Hm. I suppose that would often put you into a moral dilemma, then.

[ He loves moral dilemmas. They're adorable. ]

[experiencepoints]

Not really. They were pretty simple.

But I'll spare you the details. I feel like I'm talking too much here anyway.

[admirably]

There's no need to apologize. I prefer to listen, anyway.

[experiencepoints]

Now that's a rare trait in a guy.

Well, the rest of my team wanted to be superheroes, so they'd take the damage themselves rather than hurting anyone. When playing that way caused more damage, we didn't have any real alliances to worry about, so we played to minimize harm. No real dilemma.
